The Result of
An Infatuation
By EUNICE BLAKE
Two men were sitting together at a
| table in a cafe In Madrid, the one a
young American globe trotter, the oth
er a Spaniard who had taken some
pains to cultivate his acquaintance.
"You noticed the lady," said the
American, "who sat. a few seats in
front of us last Sunday at the bull
fight, the one in red and black?"
"I noticed that you admired her."
"She is vcry beautiful. There is
! something' about her to drive a man
| mad."
"Fer that reason 1 shall not intro
duce her to you."
"You know her?"
i "Yes."
"Introduce me."
» "That you rnay be driven mad?"
[ "It would be very thrilling to b©
> driven mad by her."
[ "Oh, well, if you insist upon it."
> "What is ber nntionality? She does
11 not look like a Spaniard."
> "Italian, but she lias dwelt in many
11 lands."
Renaud, the person who was to give
> the introductiou, after askiug the
( lady's permission, took the American
[ to cali upon her. She received hinc.
) 1 graciously.
| "Ah. Mr. Albertson," she said, "I BIS
) only too glad to make your acquaintr
| ance. You Americans interest ma.
[ There is none of the blasé about you
that there is about Europeans. You are
> so enthusiastic, so generous, so intel
| ligent."

| eucomiums iu behalf of his country

[ His visits were frequent It cannot
[ be said that his infatuation increased,
I for it was born perfect. He was full
P of gratitude to Ilenaud for the intro-
I duction aiul could not understand why
r the Spaniard was not also an adorer
I of the beautiful Italian. Renaud, In
| stead of encouraging him iu his pas
[ slon, told him to have a care not to
f become too deeply involved.
» There was nothing by which Albert
! son could judge of the lady's social

\ Madrid and not expected to have a

i to observe the proprieties and would

son asked to be permitted to advance

\ time being, though the next day, the
> funds not arriving, his offer was ac
( j cepted.
M Three days elapsed, but no remlt
\ tance carne. Albertson said nothing to
> Renaud about the loan, but one day
l when the two men were walking to
[ gether, passing a gentleman evidently
of high degree, Renaud said:
"Behold your rivai for the affectiOMi
of your senorita."
Albertson's heart stood stili. He had
i begun to suspect that there was aome
thing wrong about the expected rtmit
tance, and this accusation on that ac
count had more efifeet However, he
repelled the imputation. Renand told
him that if he could get sight of the
1 lady's private papers he would be eon
! vinced.
After much discussion Renaud sug
gested a pian by which Albertson
might make the test. Albertson was
to take advantage of his intimacy to
steal the keys of a certain escretoire in
her roonis. Thea he wes to talco ber
out to dine. While she was gone Re
naud was to take the keys, go to the
rooms, open the escretoire and bring
Albertson any proof be might find
there of the existence of his rivai.
Albertson at first promptly declined
to have anything to do with such pry
ing, but Renaud artfully worked on
his jealousy until he consented. He
waited and watched some time for an
opportunity, bat at last it carne. He
i carried the keys away with him and
gave them to Renaud. The same aft
ernoon he took the senorita oot for a
drive.
The next morning he read in a news
paper of the arrest of a wonrnn who
called berself Adela Morelli in ber
apartments. A detective had been
watching the lady, who was a noted
adventuress. He had used a young
American, who was desperately smit
ten with the woman, to secare certain
incriminating papere in her possessione
Senorita Morelli was wanted for vari
ous crinies, the most Important of
which was the poisoning of her bus
band. She would be taken to Italy to
be tried for her offenses.
Albertson was crushed. For a
he could not believe his senses. But
at last—he had not been repaid the
money he had advanced—be saw
through the whole scheme. He had
been duped not only by the woman.
but by Renaud, wbo, having notleed
his infatuation, had introduced him
for the purpose of using hiin to Mcure
evidence needed to obtain fcer cocrvfr
tion.
