"If you don't mind what fbe servants are saying about us. Mr. 3uiart, I am quite sure 1 do not." I caught my breath. "Oh. I understand everything." she cried mischievously, before I could stammer anything in reply. "They art building a delightful romance around us. And why not? Why begrudge them the pleasure? No harm can come of It. you see." "Certainly no harm." 1 floundered. "Tile gossip is contined to the castle. It will not go any further. We can afford to laugh in our tleeves. can't we ?" "Ha. ha!" I laughed In a strained ef fort. but not into iny sleeve. "I rejoice to hear you say that you don't mind. No more do I. It's rather jolly." "Fancy any one thinking we could possibly fall in love with each other.' 1 Khe scoffed. Her eyes were very bright. There was a suggestion of rold water In that remark. "Yes. just fancy," 1 agreed. "A hswd I" "But of course, as you say. If they can get any pleasure out of it why should we object?'' "Well, we are bosom friends once more, are we not? I am so relieved." "I suppose Poopendyke told you the - the gossip." "Oh. no! I had it from my niaid Sbe is perfectly terrible. All Frenct maids are. Mr. Smart. Beware ol French maids! She won't have it anj other way than that I am desperatelj j in love with you. Isn't she delicious?" "Eh?" 1 gasped. | "And she confides the wonderful se j cret to every oue in the castle, from Rosemary down to Jinko." "Ton my soul!" 1 murmured. "And RO now they all are saying thai I am in love with you." she laughed "Isn't it perfectly ludicrous?" "Perfectly," I said without entbusi asm. My heart sank like lead. Lndi crous? Was that the way it appeared to her? I had a little spirit left. "Quite as ludicrous as the fancy Britton has about me. He is obsessed by the idea that I am in love with you. What dc you think of that?" Sbe started. I thought her eyes nar rowed for a second. "Ridiculous." she said very simply. Then she arose ab ruptly. "Please ring the bell for Hawkes." I did so. Hawkes appeared. "Clear the table. Hawkes." she said. "I want you to read all these newspaper clip pings. Mr. Smart." she went on. point ing to a bundle on a chair near the window. We crossed room. "Now that you know who I am, 1 insist on your reading all that the papers have been saying about me during the past five or six weeks." I protested, but she was firm. "Ev ery one else in the world has been reading about my affairs, so you must do likewise. No. it isn't necessary to read all of them. I will select the most lurid and the most glowing. You see there are two sides to the case. The father can control are united in defending my actiou; the European press is just the other way. Sit down, please. I'll hand them to you." For an hour 1 sat there in the win dow absorbing the astonishing history of the Taruowsy abduction ease. I felt rather than observed the intense scru tiny with which she favored ine. At last she tossed the remainder of the bundle unread into a corner. Her face was aglow with pleasure. "You've read both sides, and I've watched you, oil. so closely. You don't believe what the papers over here have to say. I saw the scowls when you read the translations that Mr. Poopen dyke has typed for me. Now I know that you do not feel so bitterly toward me as you did at first." I was resolved to make a last deter-' mined stand for my original convic tions. "But our own papers—the New York, Boston. Philadelphia, Chicago journals —still voice in a way my principal con-! tentlon In the matter, countess. They' deplore the wretched custom among the Idle but ambitious rich that made, possible this whole lamentable state of affairs. 1 mean the custom of getting! a title into the family at any cost." "My dear Mr. Smart." she said seri ously. "do yon really contend that all! of the conjugal unhappiness and un-j rest of the world is confined to the American girls who marry noblemen?] Has it escaped your notice that there' are thousands of unhappy marriages and equally happy divorces In Amer ica every year in which noblemen do n<»t figure at all?" Then suddenly she changed the sub-! ject "I have some pleasant news for yon." i sbe said. "My mother will be here on Thursday. Von will not like her. of course, because yon are already preju diced. but I know she will like you." "1 hope she will like me." I added, feeling that it was necessary. "She WHS a Oolingraft. you know." "Indeed?" The Colingraft family ! was one or tin? oltfest and most exclu sive in New York. i j. | "You will like uiy father." she said. | "He loves uie more than any one else in tiie world—more than all the world. I He would buy off the count tomorrow I it' I would permit him to do so. Of • s , late 1 have been thinking very serl n ! ously ol' suggesting It to him. A mil j lion is nothing to my father." I There came a sharp rapping on the e door at this Instant. "Goodness! (i You'd think Sherlock Holmes himself e was at the door!" she cried. <l' I went to the door. ;e "Can you come down at ouce, Mr. e' Smart?" Poopendylv said In a voice not meant to reach the ears of the countess. ?. "What's up?" I questioned sharply, ii "The jig. I'm afraid." he whispered, 't | "Good Lord! Defectives?" | "No. Count Taruowsy and a struu f-j ger." ej "Impossible!" 1. J The couutess. alarmed by our man ! ner. quickly crossed the room, d . "What is it?" she demanded. " j "The count is downstairs." 1 said, y "Don't be alarmed. Nothing can hap if pen. You"— She laughed. "Oh, Is that all? My j dear Mr. Smart, he lias come to see I you about the frescoes." [ "But I have insulted him." ■* "Not permanently." she said. "1 ° I know him foo well, fie is like a leech. 1 He has given you time to reflect and e | therefore regret your action of the oth er night. (Jo down and see him." € j Poopendyke volunteered further iu- I formation. "There is also a man down ! there, a cheap looking person, wlio 1 says he must see the Countess Turnow i sy at once." • "A middle aged man with the upper ; i button of his wastcoat off?" sbe asked j sharply. | "I—l can't say as to the button." ' I "1 am expecting one of mv lawyers, u | : It must be lie. He was to have a but-! j ton off." I "I'll look him over again." said Poop : I endyke. "Do. And be careful not to let the |. count catch a glimpse of him. Thai' |. would be fatal." j; "No danger of that. He went af! e i once to old Conrad's room." J "Good! I had a note from him this x J morning. Mr. Smart. He is .Mr. Bangs D J of Londou." "May 1 inquire, couutess, how yot! j manage to have letters delivered tc L | you here? Isn't it extremely danger ~ j otis to have them go through the t | mails?" "They are all directed to th< r Schniicks." she explained. "They art t; Passed on to me. Now go and see the . | count. Don't lend him any money." . I The count was waiting for me in! J the loggia. /I "It is good fo see you again, old fel- j i low." lie said, with an amiability thai I ? | surprised me. "1 was afraid you might t' hold a grievance against nie. You | Americans are queer chaps, you know." j . Consummate assurance! I had not' i touched a drop of anything that night. I I "I assure you. Count Tarnowsy, the! )i little tilt, as you are pleased to callj, ■ I it. was of no consequence. 1 had quite ij forgotten that it occurred. Sorry you .! reminded nie of it." >! The irony was wasted. He beamed. » "My dear fellow, shall we not shake . hands?" ) There was something irresistibly winning about him, as I've said before. We shook hands with what seemed to ' | be genuine fervor. ' "1 suppose you are wondering what' brings ine here." he said as we started toward the entrance to the loggia, liisi arm through mine. "1 do not forget j a promise. Mr. Smart. You may re member that I agreed to fetch a man 1 from Munchen to look over your fine old frescoes and to give yon an esti mate. Well, he is here, file very best i man iu Europe." "I am sure 1 am greatly indebted to j you. count,'* I said, "but after tbiuk ; ing it over I've"— j "Don't say fhat you have already engaged some one to do the work." he cried in horror. "My dear fellow, j don't tell me that! You are certain to make a dreadful mistake If you listen ' to any one but Sehwarfamuller. He in ' ! the last word in restorations. He ls"- I Checked liiiu. "1 have virtually de- ' cided to let the whole matter go over | until next spring. However. I shall be ' i happy to have Mr. Schwartznitiller's ' j opinion. We may be able to plan ! 1 ahead." A look of disappointment flitted ' ! across his lace. The suggestion of | hard old age crept into his features ' for a second and then disappeared. ' j "Delays are dangerous." he said. 1 My judgment is that those gorgeous ' paintings will disintegrate more dur- 1 Ing the coming winter than in all the years gone iy. They are at the critical stage. If ot preserved now—well. 1 ' cannot bear to think of the conse i quenceß, Ah, here Is Herr Schwartz- 1 ! mnller." Just inside the door, we came upon r a pompous , yet servile Gertnau who could not by any means hnve beeu mis taken for anything but the last word in restoration. For ten minutes I allowed them to expatiate on the perils of procrastl- " nation in the treatment of rare old F canvases and uiuments. and then. ' v- d HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel English Ginger Cakes We are quite accustomed to speak ing of "old-fashioned ginger bread," and this is right, for ginger is the moat ancient flavoring. For years and years cakes were baked without any special character, it being thought quite enough that they were sweet and of finer texture than the coarse bread of those earlv davs. However, spices were esteemed from the beginning of civilization when they were brewed into refreshing drinks and served with many foods. At last China's preserved ginger root was brought to Kngland by travelers who told of its wonderful medicinal prop erties. At first only royalty was able to secure it, but Queen' Elizabeth, who seems to have been a housewifely sort of a maiden after all, had it made into small cakes to be eaten when her house hold had dined on too rich foods. Whether the sweets were so tempt ing or living so rich we cannot tell, but the court ladies and lords kept up such a constant demand for the tarts that a special baker was appointed to make "Queen's Ginger Cakes." As the pleasant remedy was found to be as soothing to the digestions of everyday folks it was soon England's most popular cake. There is probably small resemblance in our manifold gin- K cr cakes to those of Mem Old Eng land, but even to-day there' is no cake that is better liked.

The count was watching me with an eager light in his eyes. He looked away as 1 shot a quick glance at Ills face. The whole matter became as clear as day to me. He was to receive a handsome commission If the contract was awarded. "Nearly $40,000. In other words," said 1 Vreflecrtiveiy.

Mix five cups of light brown sugar, one tablespoon of ginger, one table spoon of mixed spices, one tablespoon salt, one level tablespoon of soda and eight cups of flour together by sifting. To this add one piut of shortening or butter and a pint and a half of New Orleans molasses. This must stand sev eral hours after it is well mixed. Bake on oiled or buttered paper and drop the mixture on by tcaspoonfuls. The snaps like to spread out thin while baking and must have plenty of room between one another; if they run together it is hard to free them from the paper. Bake in moderate oven.
