Wearin o' th' Green
The green of springtime is still toned
down gently with the browns tin>! grays
and other sombre shades of Mother
Nature out of doors. Hut this month
we will wear the green in honor of
Paint Patrick. .lust why this old gen
tleman should be honored history is a
bit hazy in telliug. We used to think :

just lately a spoil-sport proved cuii

Emerald Isle. Never mind, we'll use
his color boldly and even dare to twine
it with yellow and so set all our
aesthetic nerves acquiver.
Spring is coming and golden daffo
dils 111 beds of green prove it and prim
roses and hyacinths in the markets
seem to coax us to buy them for our
future satisfaction.
There are fashions in flowers and
this season roses are more popular than
ever. Perhaps this is because the
trouble abroad prevented the shipping '

mon lot, who permit impressions in-
Jtead of evidence to sway them. Here
was a man.
"We have gone far afield," she said,
a tacit admission that she could not
refute his dissertations. This knowl
edge, however, was not irksome.
"Rather have we not come to the
bars? Shall we let them down? In
the civil and military life on this side
of the world there are many situa
tions which we perforce must tolerate.
But these, mind you, are settled condi
tions. It Is upon new ones which arise
that we pass judgment. I knew noth
ing about you, nothing whatever. So I
Judged you according to the rules."
Elsa leaned upon her elbows, and
she smiled a little aa she noted that
the purple had gone from his nose
and that It had resumed its accus
tomed rubicundity.
"I go on. A woman who travels
alone, who does not present letters of
introduction, who . .
"Who attends strictly to her own af
fairs. Go on."
Imperturbably he continued: "Who
seeks the acquaintance of men who do
not belong, as you Americans say."
"Not men; one man," she corrected.
"A trifling difference. Well, it 1
arouses a disagreeable word, sus
picion. For look, there have been ex
amples. It isn't as if yours were an
isolated case. There have been ex
amples, and those we apply to such af
fairs as come under our notice."
"And It doesn't matter that you may
be totally wrong?"
His prompt answer astonished her.
"No, It does not matter in the least. I

"To the normal and mediocre mind,

were made from what 1 saw as an out
sider. On the Irrawaddy you made !
the acquaintance of a man who came
out here a fugitive from justice. After
you made his acquaintance, you sought
none other, in fact, repelled any ad
vances. This alone decided me."
"Then you were decided?" To say
that this blunt exposition was not bit
ter to her taste, that it did not act ]
like acid upon her pride, would not
be true. She was hurt, but she did not •'
let the hurt befog her sense of Jus
tice. From his point of view the colo- |
nel was in no fault. "Let me tell you j
how very wrong you were indeed." j
"Doubtless," he hastily interposed,
"you enveloped the man in a cloud of i
romance."
"On the contrary, I spoke to him
and sought his companionship because
he was nothing more nor less than a
ghost."
"Ah! Is It possible that you knew 1
him in former times?"
"No. But he was so like the man at
home; so identical in features and
build to the man I expected to go!
home to marry. . . ."
"My dear young lady, you are right, j
Mediocrity Is without imagination,
stupid, and makes the world a dull
place indeed. What woman in your
place would have acted otherwise? In
stead of one apology I offer a thou
sand."
"I accept each and all of them. More,
I believe that you and I could get on
capitally. I can very well imagine the
soldier you used to be. I am going to
ask you what you know about Mr.
Warrington."
"This, that he Is not a lit companion
for a young woman like yourself; that
a detracting rumor follows hard upon
his heels wherever he goes. I learned
something about him in Rangoon. He
Is known to the riff-raff as Parrot ft
Co., and I don't know what else. All
of us on shipboard learned his previ
ous history. And not from respectable
quarters, either."
"If I had. been elderly and without
I pnysicai attraction*T" fiisa Inquired
I sarcastically.
"We are dealing with human nature,
| mediocrity, and not with speculation.
It is in the very nature of things to
< distrust that which we do not under
stand. You say, old and without phys
ical attractions. Beauty Is of all
things most drawing. We crowd about
it, we crown it, we flatter it. The old
and unattractive we pass by. If 1 had
j not seen you here tonight, heard you
talk, saw in a kind of rebellious en
chantment over your knowledge of the
world and your distinguished acquaint
i ance, I should have gone to my grave
believing that my suspicions were cor
rect. I dare say that I shall make the
snme mistake again."
"Did you learn among other things
! what Mr. Warrington had done?"
"Yes. A sordid affair. Ordinary
peculations that were wasted over
gaming tables."
Warrington had told her the truth
At least, the story told by others
coincided with his own. But what was
it th-it kept doubt In her mindV Why
should she not be ready to believe
what others believed, what the man
himself had confessed? What was it
; to her that he looked like Arthur, that
he was guilty or innocent?
"And his name?" She wondered if
the colonel knew that also.
"Warrington is assumed. His res)
1 name is Paul Ellison."
"Paul Ellison." She repeated it slow
j ly. Her voice did not seem her own.
i The table, the lights, the faces, all re
j ceded and became a blur.
CHAPTER XV.
A Bit of a Lark.
Mallow gave Craig one of his favor

over and Inspected the carnelian label,
realizing that this was expected of
! him. Mallow smiled (omplaccntiv
| They might smoke a* good as that at
I the government house, but he rather i
doubted it. Trust a Britisher to know
a good pipe-charge; but his selection
of cigars was seldom to He depended
upon.
"Don't see many of these out here,"
was Craig's comment, and he tucked
away the cigar in a vest pocket.
"They cost me forty-three cents
apiece, without duty." The vulgarian's
pleasure lies not in the article Itself
so much as in the price paid for it.
On the plantation Mallow smoked
Burma cheroots because he really pre
ferred them. There, he drank rye
whisky, consorted with his employees,
gambled with them and was not above
cheating when he had them drunk
enough. Away from home, however,
he was the man of money; he bought
vintage wines when he could, wore ;
silks, jingled the sovereigns whenever |
he thought someone might listen, bul
lied the servants, all with the childish
; belief that he was following the foot
steps of aristocracy, hoodwinking no
one, not even his kind. "I'm worth a :
quarter of a million," he went on. j
"Luck and plugging did it. One of j
these fine days I'm going to sell out
and take a whack at that gav Paris.
There's the place to spend your pile.
I You can't get your money's worth any
place else."
Paris. Craig's thought flew back to
the prosperous days when he was ply !
ing his trade between New York and
Cherbourg, on the Atlantic liners, the j
annual fortnight in Paris and the
Grand Prix. He had had his diamonds,
then, and his wallet of yellow-backs; !
' and when he had called for vintage j
' wiues and choice Havanas it had been
for genuine love of them. In his heart I
he despised Mallow. He knew himsell
to be a rogue, but Mallow wlthoul ;
money would have been a bold preda !
tory scoundrel. . Craig knew also thai '
lie himself was at soul too cowardly to
be more than despicably bad. He
envied Mallow's absolute fearlessness,
his frank brutality, his strength upon
" which dissipation had as yet left no
mark; and Mallow was easily forty
' five.
"When you go to Paris, I'd like to go J
along.''
"You've never let on why they sent
- you hiking out here," Mallow sug
1 gested.
"One of my habits is keeping my
i mouth shut."
"Regarding your own affairs, yes

"You can play that hand as well af

dining room doors.

Craig eyed the group which was

serving coffee and cordials. Mallow
was right; beautiful was the word. He
poured out for himself a stiff peg and ,
drank it with very little soda.
"Haven't seen the crow anywhere, j
have you?"
"No, nor want to. Leave him alone.'
"Afraid of him, eh?"
"I'm truthful enough to say that I'a
damned afraid of him. Don't mistake

"I don't want to see you get licked,'
