she goes. 'Who loves me follows me."
They invariably follow her. One should L

flew over the- roads and gained the
country. Nothing seemed to stop her,
neither wood nor field nor flood. .Then
came the sudden wave of her hand, a
gay "Goodby!" to the general, an Au
revoir!" to the young officers, and she
was out of sight, leaving never a trace
behind. ,
"Thunder and lightning!" grumbled
the general. "How does she do it? We
have once again been outwitted."
The next morning found her again
at the commandant's, saucy as ever.
She gave the sentinels a merry little
military salute with her dainty riding
wnip, delivered up her horse to be tak
en care of and moved straight toward
the dining hall, where covers were set
for the-; general's breakfast. They
breakfasted; together, quietly, but to
ward the end the general seemed to get
somewhat restless. He could not re
strain three or four formidable "hems,1
and he sent the attendants flying about
in an directions.
"We are not here for amusement,'1
she remarked. "Drink your coffee." f
' He drank it, mentally feeling any
thing but amused. Certainly he had
met women of many kinds, but never
anything like her. Was he afraid of
the little creature, he wondered? He
recalled their meeting Just a month
before in Paris. He remembers still
how the moment the train was starting

however, for he saw a slight smile hov

It happened tbat both were going to

Two days after the garrison was up

affair was that- while she seemed to
know everybody nobody knew her. A
handkerchief which she unwittingly let
drop had a baron's wreath embroider

called the. "Little Baroness.'

the general felt things mlgnt go
straight. But no! Guy was sulking. It
was three months now since they had

nothing ought to have separated them.

This resolution taken as the result of
the reflections which had prevented
