I One reads In tho fairy tales of tho
wonderful treasures which nre now and
again washed up on tho shore from tho
briny deep, of tho mermaids and sea ser
pents, of coral and pearls and treasuro
fllled caskets which were burled by Cap
tain Kldd nnd others, but never was so
strango a trcasuro cast upon a shore as
that which drifted to tho feet of a per
haps ovcrcurlous malo creaturo down at
Cope May la3t Sunday. The strange
thing was a lavender rubber bathing cap,
and that is not specially Btranno, I must
admit, but the strango part of It was tho
nppcmlago of fair hair which was at
tached thereto.
Could It bo that some "beach" bather
had been lured or porhaps forced Into tho
water by mischievous friends and then
had come to grief In this awful way?
Tho ways of the modern maid arc won
derful, Indeed, nnd In tho meantime tho
curious malo and his frlcnda arc busily
trying to match up tho fair tresses with
thoso of tho blondo typo who disport
themselves dally on tho beach or at tho
dance.
SiTmany of tho debutantes of tho last

when hor guests included Molly Thayer,
who camo out last year and Is a cousin

Who acted as chaperon; Dpnald Hlagdon,

"TTTiiY not?" Serance looked up sharply
VV 'Trnlll nnd I nro golni? to dine. Wo
fancied you mlKht be willing to Klvo us a lift
In your cnrrlaRo and set us down nt tho
Primordial."
"You nro perfectly welcome," Von Itolz
horn put In. with a short lnuith. "That Is,
ho nmemlod, "If you nro willing to chance
the risk."
"kIhIc?" I Inquired.
Tho Prussian gave mo n glimpse of those
opaipio eyes. "There'll danger," ho snld
curtly.
'To bo frnnk with you," added tho Tlus
slnn, ".Monsieur do Uolzhorn Is known for
my very good friend. Wo fenr that his
lodgings may havo liecn watched "
"In this beastly fog?" Sevrance protested.
"i:ven so. if his carringo has boon
noticed and followed, It is barely possible
that wo may bo attacked beforo we reach
a safe place."
I heard Sevrance express a terse opinion,
henenth his breath "Hot '." was what ho
nald and t confess that my vlowa resembled
ills own; for tho Ufa of mo I could not
Imagine how a call could have been tracked
through a fog ns denso as thnt.
Aloud: "So much tho more reason why
you should travel well guarded, then." said
Sevrance. "Traill and I will be glad enough
to benr you company as far ns tho
Primordial Club, nt least."
"On your own bends " commented Von
Hnlzhnm. lifting his shoulders Indifferently.
Accordingly, wo decided to accompany
them, with the more reason since, ns
Sevrance pointed out, It would bo tho devil
of a deal of troublo to come upon another
oab thnt night. For my part. I was In no
mind to let any fanciful danger whatsoever
stand between mu and my food. I would
havo dared tho whole Russian nrmy for n
good dinner.
And so. with a slight d-lay for prepara
tion, wo set out. l'Mtz. 1 ri'inembir, went
ahead silently, confidently Do Nctzo nnd
ills Oernmn friend went next, tho Husslnn
leaning heavily upon tho other's nrm,
Sewanco and I bringing up tho rear.
1 waited for Sevrauco to lock his door,
Quite nssured that t needed Ills guidance
before the blank blackness of the fog-bound
courtyard. Da Netzu nnd Von Ilolzborn
had struck out boldly, without waiting; nor
did wo come up with them until we wero
cleared of tho covered alleyway and had
blundered Into a. waiting hack a vehicle
which. I understand, wns tho captain's pri
vate turnout.
I heard Von Ilolzborn's voice, pitched In
nn angry undertone, before we encountered
the trio. A second lator they loomed blackly
before us. Do Netzo was seemingly attempt
ing to pacify tho Prusslnn. who wns inter
rogating the coachman. I gathered i heard
him say "Illockbcad !" furiously.
The man was not to blame, inon ami."
Intel posed the Husslan.
Von Tlolzborn turned upon his man Fritz.
Dy this time wo weio near enough to make
out that tho fellow was htanding btolldly to
ono side, holding his right forearm with his
left hand nnd Mnrlng off Into tho obscurity.
"Jlow did It happen?" Von Ilolzborn de
manded. The nlet stiffened, dropping his hand to
hla side "l' followed you? Instructions,
Herr Captain," ho said respectfully. "En
tering tho carriage I fell agalnbt soma per
son who attempted to Utah mo." Ho added
two or three phrases In Oernian, doggedly.
"And so." he concluded, "tho fellow got
away. Ernest" ho nodded toward the
coachman's box "will tell you as much.
I hnf my bes,t done. Herr Cautalti. It Iss
ll0"Oh! that's palpable," Do Netze alllrmed
decidedly.
"What's this?" Sevrance put In.
The Ilusslan explained calmly. There
had been an assassin waiting In tho car
riage; their precaution In bending Fritz on
ahead hnd saved the Hus.slan'3 life for the
second time. ....
"You see," ho concluded, "wo were not
mistaken. They nre watching me like cats
I saw him slip something Into Fritz's
palm; Von Ilolzborn's back was turned
Tho valet saluted with his huit arm.
"A mere scratch." he assured me. In reply
to my question. nnd oll'bcl "!'"" ,he ho.x
with the coachman, being so ordered by his
master.

"IIKAItT'S UKSIHK,
NEVEIt In my life do I recall dispos
ing of a meal so tremendous as that
night's; my appetite beemed positively In
satiable. You will find my excuse In the
fact .that I had not broken my fast slnco
noon of the previous day. And the Prlraor
dial Is famous for Its kitchen.
In the end, satisfied, we lingered an hour
or more oer liquors and cigars, Sevrance
strangely silent, and uncommunicative, I
If the truth must out rather torpid.
Sevrnnoe glanced at hla watch.
"Half after nine," he aunounoed ; "time
we were off. If we're to accomplish anything
this night."
"What do you mean? ,,.,.,,
He produced an envelope and held It up
for my Inmxctlon. "I've stalls for the
opera " said he ; "I knew you wre a lover
of fine music and Calve sings tonight
'Carmen,' by special arrangement, you
I gulped over my disappointment.
"Hang the opera!" I told him. "What
th?Tu3henmsry child!" he laughed. "Do
you suppose that I. your humble but faith
ful servant, would trifle with your young
affections? To the contrary. Come let's
be off." ... w , ,
"Sevrance '" I cried.
"I'll lay you a guinea that we find old
friends there." . .
'Done." said I, at last comprehending.
"And I hope I loe-".. .
-So do I. Cordon," he assured me -with
great solemnity.
Th curtain was lust going up on the
uecond act as we squirmed Into our stalls,
to the Impassive lnd guatlon of a row of
English folk who fouud it necessary to
arts and se vw way Aai- t0 evade the
hostile stares of those outraged Britishers,
whos toe I had a) severely trodden. I
pfoaajtly hid my t&ep la my prpsraw. For
this reason, together with what followed.
1 remember nothing nt nil of tho music or
action of Hlzet's masterpiece ns produced
In Covcnt Harden. London, upon that second
night of my stay In thnt city. For hardly
had I begun to recover my self-respect than
Sevrance quietly called my attention to
that which had drawn mo across tho At
lantic my Heart's Desire.
"Thoto," ho Indicated, with a dlfcrect
nod.
I hardly dared look. "Whero?" t whis
pered ; and was wretchedly conscious that
nnt only had my whisper betrayed my In
ward ngltntlon, but that n wave of blood
had swept Into my face.
Presently I mustered up my courage nnd
looked.
Tho width of tho house lay between mo
and the woman, who sat, languidly follow
ing the action on the stnge. with one white
and rounded arm motionless on tho rail of
a box In the first tier tho second or third
bnck from tho proscenium nrch. I was at
liberty to stare, Unrcsentcd, to tho full of
my great deRlro.
I remember breathing with dlllleulty.
What Sevrance had suggested was true ; sho
had left America a girl, beautiful but un
developed. As such I remembered nnd
loved her nil theso years.
And now she was transformed Into a
woman's full stature and estate; l havo
heard her called tho most liewltchliiRly
pretty woman In tho world, nnd so she
seemed that night.
So I sat and gn7ed throughout tho length
of that nlt-too-short act. When the cuitnin

Our eyes met, and I
fell, I drow a long and deep breath ; tho
moment to which I had been looking for
ward for two years was near nt hand ; I
confidently expected to visit that box during
tho Intermission.
But, as Sevrnnco nnd I rose nnd fought
our way out, I happened ngaln to glance
upward. Sho had turned nnd wns looking
straight toward us.
Our eyes met, and I stopped dead In tho
nl.sle. Vaguely I was aware that Sovranco
was tugging at my arm and counseling mo
not to bo nn abandoned fool, warning me
thnt every one was remarking my emotion.
Hut I had caught tho Hash of welcome
In her oyes an Incredulous light of sur
prise nnd pleasure. Sho nodded, nnd I
knew that she had not forgotten me.
At that Instant all of this happened
more swiftly than I can tell it a man
entered tho box. The light fell upon his
dark. Immobile features; and I knew
Captain von Ilolzborn. He was. of course
In full ovenlng dress, nnd I put my teeth
together, realizing the magnltuda of my
undertaking, slnco I proposed to win the
woman's heart from this man of splendid
gifts. Ho was far too good looking for
my penco of mind.
Von Ilolzborn went forward, his lips
moving. Julia turned, with a quickly re
pressed start of surprise. Almost Im
mediately she rose, gathering up her wraps,
of which tho rrusslan nt onco relieved her.
Another occupant of the box. whom I had
scarcely noticed. alno arose; thero Was an
nlr of unexpected departuro nbout tho party.
Sevrnnce hurried me up tho aisle. In tho
promenado ho was for taking me to tnsk
for making an exhibition of myself, but I
cut him off with a hurried explanation, tho
gist of which was that Lady Herbert was
leaving, nnd thnt I had had no word with
her.
Sevrnnce and I stood helpless, cut oft by
a stream of peoplo surging out Into the
lobby. As soon ns It was possible we
pushed through and gained tho Bldrwnlk.
whero I had Insanely hoped we would find
them awaiting us. Hut wo wero Just In
time to hear tho slnm nt tholr carriage
door and to see tho vehicle disappear Into
tho fog.
I broke down and Indulged In profanity.
Sevrance stooil asldo and mocked mo.
"There's plenty of time." lie comforted
me. "Very likely they had a late t image
mont a reception or n dance."
nut In my heart I knew that ho was
wrong that If not my own appearance on
the scene, then something of greater mo
ment was to bo held accountable for that
sudden and evidently unexpected departuro
from tho theater.
Over this thought, thoroughly convinced
of Ua truth. I gloomed for the rest of the
ovenlng; Se ranee exerted nlmself In vain
to rouse mo. Nor did I find any relief
sae In sleep until the following morning
when Seranco. looking over his mall nt
he breakfast table, tossed mo a square,
white envelope, addressed to me In his care.
In a hand that I knew only too well.
It was such a letter as I might have
expected a note, all too brief, charming
and tersely pertinent:
Dear Mr. Traill I am so sorry I missed
sneaking to you last night, and I am nil
S to have a good. Ions talk with you
Won't you come to tea this afternoon? Mrs
Jdorchoster and 1 will be at homo only to
you and Sir. Sevrance.
Faithfully.
JULIA HKTtBEUT.
I looked up to find Sevrance's eye upon
m"Who Is Mrs. Morchester?" I Inquired,
with deceptive nochalance.
"I,ady Herbert's companion," he re
turned ; "you saw them together last night."
We are asked to call this afternoon
for ten." ,,
".Vow will you believe roe?'
"I'm not satlstled I won't bo till I see
her face to face."
A cab whirled us to that houso from
which D Netze had staggered with the
support of his would-he assassins the
house of my boioved. that I had so nearly
entered the night before the last. Sevrance
and I together mounted the steps, and con
fronted the gorgeous llunky from whose
glare 1 had Mod bo precipitately.
To this day I believe the fellow recog
nized mo and took a low-lived Joy in the
business. He recalled our cards with a
supercilious air, which would have ben
worth a. fabulous salary per annum to a
head waiter back In little old New York
"Lady "Erbert." he said heavily, staring
flxedly and disapprovingly at me with his
fishy eyes. "1 " at "ome."
"Mrs. Morehtr, than?" Sevrance sug-
gested.
"Mrs Morqhester Is halso hout."
In my disappointment and chagrin I
asked thoughtlslyt
"She will return whs?"
lilt Is blmposslble to say, sir," he said
stiffly looking straight through rae, "when
lady 'Brbert will return. She 'as left
town, sir."
Sovrance attempted to comfort me
throughout that gloomy homeward ride.
-It is Inexplicable." he admitted, "just
now But watt There wilt be an explana
tion." I ehook my head. "I shan't hear until It
Is too late." I prophesied. "Von Holztmra
inspect. Tbia Is hla hand,"

r
When wo had reached Sovrance's rooms
In Lord's Chambers wo found news of a
sot uwnltlng us arndy. Severance's man,
an undersized, aleit and good-natured Irish
boy. opened the door for Mi.
"Any letters?" Sevrnnco demanded In
stantly. "One. Ror," said the man "Hut not f'r
yer honor, sor. 'Tls for Jtlsthcr Traill."
lie beamed benevolently up on me. '"Tls
In a In-ndy's hand, sor," he volunteered.
"Then give it mo lnstnntlyt" l cried.
"Why the douco nro you standing there,
grinning ?"
Already I hnd recognized Heart's Desire's
handwriting In the superscription.
To my dismay, when flnnlly I managed
to open It, the Inclosuro proved to bo no
moro than a handful or less of torn
paper
I Bwore The best part of the llttlo frag
mi'tils fluttered from my hands to the rug.
Sevtunee stored; nnd Orndy, after a mo
ment of wild-eyed astonishment, got upon
his knees and began to scrapo the paper to
gether, like tho well-trained servant that ho
was.
"In heaven's name," Sevrance demanded
blankly, "what does that mean?"
"You've your question for your pains," I
told him sourly.
"Hut surely" Ho paused. "Hold ont"

Idiot! But we'll piece It together nnd "
Ho bent over tho study tabic, sorting the
pieces out under the glow of tho student's
l.itftp, his eyes Intent. I peered over his
shoulder In a fever of excitement.
It was a tedious task. That double sheet
of noto pnper had been torn Inflnltcslmally
fine. Mnny of the fragments wero naturally
qulto blank; Indeed, tho majority were so.
Many simply would not fit In nnd all such
were blank. Others appeared to bo missing,
nor could tho utmost Ingenuity nt our com
mand supply tho lost words.
But In tho end, after a half hour's hard
and exasperatlngly slow work, wo were
able, with some difficulty, to make out tho
following message tho whole beneath the
family crest and town address of Lady
Herbert:
"Gordon, I need you. I shnn't be

That wns nil. Tho final words were evi
dently written In unusual haste, and the
last few were almost Illegible, tho ultlmato
"at" being a mero scrawl, ending In a long
d.T.ih. as though the pen had been Unshed
hurriedly across tho paper.
I threw myself, bewildered and dis
gruntled, Into a chair; Sevrance turned and
faced me, his calm a trlflo less assured than
was his wont.
"Good Lord, my dear boy I" ho exclaimed
breathlessly. "What a an enigma I"
"Enigma!" I cried angrily. "Enigma be
damned !" I roso and walked tho length
of tho room. "Sho mentioned his name,"
I mused aloud. A gust of rago took me by
the throat. "He's responsible, for this !"' I
cried.
"Who, may I ask?"
"That damned Prusslnn pig!"
"Traill," commented Sevrnnco dispassion
ately, his assurance restored, "you've a
marvelous faculty for pithy characteriza
tion!" (CONTINUED TOMOnnOW.)
