"Splendid!" she cried. "You are r>>
vivlng. I feel better. If you are <co
ing to be nice I'll let you stay."
"Thanks. I'll do my best."
She seemed to be weighing some
thing ID ber mind.
"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

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.

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.

poonful of soda with one-half a cup of

ot water to (ill the cup; stir this and
tdd to the other ingredients with a cup
if honey. If honey is not strained heat
I. until the comb is melted. Heat this
cry well, then sift three cups of flour
vith one tablespoon of ginger and stir
t in. Add enough more flour to make
1 dough that can be rolled out. These
<ikes are very rich and they improve
with age. If this recipe is doubled you
will have a supply of excellent lea

added if liked.
Ginger Cakes
In some homes snaps are liked bet
ter than bread mixtures; they, too, are
made in quantity.
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. They are
very crisp when fresh but soften up
after a day or two.
