"She has no sweetheart Of that I
am positive." said she with conviction.
••She must hare had an array of ad
mirers. They were legion after her
martinfje, 1 uiay be pardoned for re
minding you."
She started. "Has she never men
tioned lord Amberdale to you?" she
asked.
"Amberdale?" I repeated, with a
queer sinking of the heart. "No. Mrs.
Titus. An Englishman?"
She was mistress of herself once
more. In a very degage manner she
Informed me that his lordship, a most
attractive and honorable young Eng
lishman. had been one of Aline's warm
est frieuds at tile time of the divorce
p. jceedings. But of course there was
nothing In that! They had been good
friends for years, nothing more, and
he was a perfect dear.
But she couldn't fool me. I could sec
that there was something working at
the back of her mind, but whether she
was distressed or gratified I was not
by way of knowing.
"I've never heard her meution Lord
Amberdale." said 1.
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Had I
but known, the mere fact that the
countess had not spoken of his lord-1
ship provided her experienced mother
with an excellent reason for believing
that there was something between
them. She abruptly brought the con
versation to a close and left me, sayins
that she was off for her beauty nap.
CHAPTER XXII.
The Dual.
I.ON'E. I soon became a prey to
certain disquieting thoughts.
M Summed up they resolved
themselves* into a condition
of certainty which admitted of but one
aspect—the charming countess was in
love with Amberdale. And the shock
ing part of it all was that she was in
love with him prior to her separation
from Tarnowsy! 1 felt a cold per
spiration start out all over my body as
this condition forced itself upon me. >
He was the man. He had been the
man from the beginning. My heart 1
was like lead for the rest of the day,
and very curiously for a leaden thing
it was subject to pain.
.lust before dinner Britton. after in
specting me out of the corner of his
eye for some time, advised me to try a
little brandy.
"You look seedy, sir," he said, with
concern in his voice. "A cold setting
in perhaps, sir."
I tried the brandy, bnt not because
I thought 1 was taking a cold. Some
how it warmed me up. There is virtue 1
in good spirits.
The countess was abroad very early ;
the next morning. I discovered her in j
the courtyard, giving directions to j
Max and Rudolph, who were doing
some' spading in the garden. She j
looked very bright and fresh and eu- i
ticing in the light of an early moon,
and I was not only pleased, but as-;
tonished. having been led to believe
all my life that a woman, no matter
how pretty she may be. appears at her
worst when the day is young.
I joined her at once. She gave me a J
gay. accusing smile. f
"What have you been saying to
mother?" she demanded as she shook
hauils with me. "I thought you were
to be trusted."
I flushed uncomfortably. "I'm sorry,
countess. I—l didn't know it was a
secret."
She looked at me somewhat quizzi
cally for a moment: then she laughed
softly. "It is a secret."
"I hope I haven't got you into bad
odor with your"—
"Oh. dear me. no! I'm not in the
least worried over what mother may
think. I shail do as I please, so there's
the end of it."
I swaßowed something that seemed
to be sticking In ray throat. "Then it
is true that you are going to marry?"
"Quite." she -said succinctly.
I was silent for a moment. "Well,
I'm--I'm glad to know it In time," I
said rather more gruffly than was nec
essary.
She smiled too merrily I thought.
"You must not tell any one else about
it however."
"I can promise that." i said, a sullen
rag» in my soul. "Devils could not;
drag It out of me. Rest easy."
It occurred to me afterward that sin
lanrrhed rather Jerkily, you might saj
uneasily. At any rate, she turned away
and began speaking to Max.
"Have you had your breakfast?" I
asked stupidly.
".No.",
"Neither have I. Will you join me?"
"Isn't It getting to be a habit?"
"Breakfast or—you?"
"Breakfast aud me."
"I confess, my dear countess, that 1
like you for breakfast" 1 said gal
lantly.
"That is a real tribute," she said
demurely and took her place beside
me. Together we crossed the court
yard.
On the steps Colingraft Titus was
standing. I uttered an audible groan
and winced as if in dire pain.
"What is it?" she cried quickly.
"Rheumatism." 1 announced, care

nip an expression oT torture. I an
not a pbysieal coward, kind reader.
The faet that yotniir Mr. Titus carried
in his hands a set of formidable look
ing bosiny; gloves did uot frighten uie.
Heaven knows, if it would give Uliu
any pleasure to slam me about with'
a pair of gloves I am not without
manliness aud pluck enough to eudure
physical pain and mental humiliation.
It was diplomacy, cunning, astuteness
—whatever you may choose to call it—
that stood between me and a friendly
encounter wiih him. Two minutes'
time would serve to convince him that
he wns my master, and then where
would I be? Where would be the
prestige I had gained? Where triy
record as a conqueror? "I must have
caught cold in my arms and shoul- ■
dors." I went on. makius worse faces ;
than before as 1 moved the afflicted
parts experimentally.
"There." she exclaimed ruefully: "I
knew you would catch cold: Men al
ways do. I'm so sorry."
"It's nothing." I made haste to ex-;
plain—"that is, nothing serious. I'll!
get rid of it in no time at all." I cal- 1
culatoil for a minute. "A week or teu
days at die most. Good morning, Col
ingraft."
"Morning. Hello, sis. Well?" He
dangled the gloves before my eyes.
My disappointment was quite pathet
ic. "Tell him," 1 said to the count-1
ess.
"Hes all crippled up with rheuma
tism, Colly." she said. "Put tliose ugly
things away. We re going in to break
fast."
He tossed the gloves Into a corner of
the vestibule. I felt a little ashamed
of my subterfuge in the face of his
earnest expression of concern.
"Tell you whnt I'll do." he said
warmly. "1 know how to rub a fel
low's muscles"—
"Oh. I have a treasure in Britton!"
said 1 hnstlly. "Thanks, old man. Ho
will work it nut of me. Sorry wo
can't have a go this morning."
The worst of it all was that he in-1
sisted. as a matter of personal educa
tion. on coming to my room after
breakfast to watch the expert maneu
vers of Britton in kneading the stiff- \
ness out of my muscles. He was look
ing for new ideas, be explained. I
first consulted Britton atid tbeu re-1
signedl.v consented to the denioustra-,
tlon.
To my surprise. Britton was some- !
thing of an expert I confess that he
almost killed me with those strong,
iron-like hands of his. If I was uot
sore when he began with the I certain
ly was when he finished. Colingraft
was most enthusiastic. He said he'd
never seen any one manipulate the
muscles so scientifically as Britton and
ventured the opinion that be would
not have to repeat the operation often.
Tc myself I said that he wouldn't have
to repeat it at all.
We began laying our plans for ths
14th Communications arrived from
Italy addressed to me. but intended
for either the countess or the rather
remote Mr. Bangs, who seeuied better
qralified to efface himself than any
human belug I've ever seen. These
letters informed us that a yacht, one
of three uow cruising in the Mediter
ranean. would call at an appointed
port on such and such a day to take
her out to sea. Everything was being
arranged on the outside for her es
cape from the continent, and precision
seemed to be the watchword.
Of course I couldn't do a stroke of
work on my novel. How could I be
expected to devote myself to fiction
when fact was staring me in the face
so engagingly? We led an idle, dolee
far niente life in these days, with an
underlying touch of anxiety and ex
citement that increased as the day for
her departure drew near. I confess
to a sickening sense of depression that
could not be shaken off.
Half of my time was spent in play
ing with Rasemary. She became dear
er to me with each succeeding day. I
knew I should miss her tremendously.
I should even miss .linko. who didn't
like me. but who no longer growled at
me. The castle would be a very
gloomy, dreary place after the> were
out of It. 1 found myself wonderisig
how long I would be able to endure
the loneliness. Secretly I cherished the
idea of selling the place if I could find
a lunatic In the market. I didn't sup.
pose there anybody in the whole
world crazy enough to buy it.
An unexiiecteo Aversion came one
day when, without warning and fig
uratively out of a ci<-ar sky. the Haz- ;
tards and the Billy Smiths swooped !
down upon me. They had come up j
fhe river in the power boat for a final :
September run and planned to stop J
overnight with me.
They were the last people in the
world whom I could turn away from
my door. There might have been u
chance to put them up for the nigtic

Smooth Housekeeping
Our neighbor makes a thousand dol
lars a year and in this lie is like one
third of our young married men, but
his home is running so smoothly and his
wife and he seem so contented and hap
py that it is a pleasure to see how they
manage.
They do not keep help, for they be
lieve that health can only be the resu It
of agreeable, pleasant labor. The young!
wife is strong and well: able and anx
ious to do her household duties herself. I
They could keep a maid, but the;
wages, the board of the servant, and,
the fact that she would be less saving
than tile mistress would increase their
living expenses by one-third. They)
have 110 reason for haviug servants ex
cept to gratify a foolish pride they do
not possess. As it is, they have many
small gratifications each day; they buy
books and artistic furnishings that are
giving the true touch of individuality
to their home. They have the great.es
capacity for enjoyment and they ar
learning something new all the tim
about household administration. The
are constantly saving expense and it
trodneing variety into their lives.
There is no other country on th
globe where so many women are doin l
this same way, daring to be independ
ent in the management of their homes
here, out of every one hundred fam
ilies, ninety-three are doing their ow;
work, without servants.

The dough should be softer than for
vhite bread and after it has risen stir
'•t down and put it into very well
sreased pans and let it rise ag.in. Bake

oven than white bread. If you mix
whole wheat bread heavy enough to
