SHE rami' suddenly into his sight,
dispelling his brown study and in
terrupting his pipe. She stood be
yond tin- table, beside the door, tall
and slight, in a white gown that
clung to her nrins anil shoulders and
rounded waist, and swept about her
feet in heavy folds. A cross swung
from her neck by n long silver chain,
and she wore u broad-brimmed hat
with a gauzy while veil, so her face
was in shallow. She leaned slightly
toward Ashe ns he clutched the arms
'of his big chair and sat forward in
;aniaement.
"I am the 1'rincess Constantia
Cregorius," she said gently.
"Of of IJussin?" he asked stupidly,
trying to fan away the haze of to
bacco smoke.
"There are oilier lands," she said
indifferently. "And not so far awny."
"Great Caesar!" he breathed, be
wildered, and his pipe dropped from
'his astonished fin ire rs. With the
.feeling that it was the only bond be
tween him and rationality, he stooped
'to pick it up, and ns he rose he
struck his head sharply against the,
corner of the library table. Dizzy
from the blow, he staggered to his
feet and looked toward the door.
She was gone, as mysteriously as she
lad come. He rushed blindly around
.the table and across the room, stum
Ibling over easy chairs and footstools,
nnd sending a revolving bookcase
spinning round. The hall was bril
liant after the sinolcy library, and it
was also empty. ' trailing gown
nafl turned tip the edges of the rugs
nor could he hear any hurrying steps
on .iftie polished stairs, Ho blinked
tit the gtin pouring red nnd purple
through the pninted window for
moment, and then turned back and
sat down on the nearest chair. Good
heavens! what a dream! Who was
she? What was her motive in np.
rearing and announcing herself in
that royal way? And he hadn't seen
her face! Well, if it was as pretty
as her figure oh, confound his head!
and he was still feeling of it gingerly
too dazed to think of more than
one thing at a time, when he heard
his friends cheerful whistle in the
hall.
"Well, old chap," said Thurston,
coming in.
"I'hew! but that pipe of yotir's is a
fright! If we don't air this room
before the mater gets into it, your
goose is cooked!"
"Why, what will she do?" cried the
other, uncertainly.
"You'll never get another bid for
Sunday," said the first, throwing
open one of the windows, "(ice! I
didn't realize bow rank Cissie is get
ting, lletire her, Hilly, and get an
other. l!ut say, what's the matter
old man? I left you composing a
sonnet nnd going to sleep over it.
What's wrong?"
Ashe looked down at his maligned
pipe, and then up at his friend.
"Say, do you suppose she thought
it was rank?" he asked.
"The mater?" said Thurston, puz
zled. "She hasn't been here already,
has she? If so, we'd better go back
to-ni'lit. Did t-he wake you up?"
"No, I just dreamed it," said the
owner fpf the pipe, ami began to feel
of his bump with a frown of pain.
His friend looked at hitn for a mo
ment curiously, and then aimed a
hea'.y leather cushion from the near
eft Morris chair at him.
"Wake up, voti idiot!" he said.
"This is no bleeping car." Hie idiot
parried the cushion.
"Dick, has your sister a friend
visiting her?" he inquired.
"No," taid the other.
"Well, there was one here, any
way," pursued Ashe.
"On': what?" demanded Thurston.
"One princess," said the other. His

minute longer. For beyond Mrs,
Foster, nnd standing just outside the
ring of light from 11 tall lamp, was
the lady of his dreams, with her white
gown that clung to her shoulders and
rounded waist, and ilared with heavy
folds nt her feet. This time she
wore a fan on the long silver chain
around her neck, and she had 110
hat nor veil, so Ashe could see that
she was regarding him with the
frankest interest from a pair of most
attractive brown eyes. He flushed
with surprise, and his remarks to
Mrs. Foster died on his lips. She was
not n dream, then, his princess! A
sudden recollection of the check from
the "Hundred Years" made him
warm, and as a corollary came the
realization of his narrow escape
from the Society of l'sychic l!e
scarch good heavens!
Meanwhile Mrs. Foster was saying
graciously, "So good of you to come,
Mr. Ashe, and not forget your old
friends, now you are such a celebrity.
And to reward you, I am going to in
troduce you to a very tlear young
friend of mine. Miss Gregory, who ad
mires your poems so much." And
Ashe found himself before his prin
cess, while Mrs. Foster went on
fluently, "Constance, my dear, this is
Mr, Ashe," and turned to greet an
other guest. All remnants of his
self-possession vanished nt tlm
sound of the names, and interrupt
ing Miss Gregory's polite expres
sions of delight at making his ac
quaintance, Ashe risked abruptly:
"Are you a princess?"
She opened her brown eyes wider
and looked at him in surprise,
- "Do do you believe in telepathy
nnd astral bodies?" he went on after
a moment's pause. "Or are you only
a dream?"
"Dear me!" ald the girl. "Mrs.
Foster said you were so nice, and
not stajfling that no one would
know that you were a poet or any
thing else awe-inspiring, and here you
have called mo three alarming names
in as many minutes. Is tl)is poetic
license. Mr. Ashe?'"
"Did you really mind Cissy I.oftus?"
lie asueil anxiously. lou see she s
my favorite pipe, but she's rather
old, and I'm afraid she's a little' too
strong to he pleasant to strangers.
Hut 1 didn't expect you, you know,
when you came In so suddenly."
The girl's face was gravely puz
zled, but her eyes looked amused.
"I'm afraid Mrs. Foster has a mis
taken idea of you," she said with a
shake of her head.
"Where do you live?" Inquired
Ashe. "When you are not in dreams,
you know when you are not in
Thurston's library."
"Well," said Miss Gregory. "I'm re
lieved. I am glad to find that I
can at last take an Intelligent in
terest in the conversation. The
Thurston's library isn't it a fasci
nating place?"
"You wern't in it long enough to
find out," objected Ashe. "And do
you think it was quite kind of yon
to make me bump my head?"
"Long enough! I've spent hours in
Thurstons' library," said the girl in
mock indignation. "And I never
made you bump your head."
"Well, perhaps not consciously,"

"Don't you remember the painful mcnt,

sternly.
Miss Gregory counted on her fin

aid. "Oh, fie, Mr. Ashe!"
,"I have $30 that belongs to you,''
said Ashe, irrelevantly. t
"I beg your pardon?" said the girl,
blaikly.
"15y rights," asservated Ashe, with
a nod. "Half of what I got for that
poem, you know. I calculate that
my thought and labor are good fot
half, but you furnished the idea,
you see." Miss Gregory sat down
on the nearest chair and laughed
aloud. Ashe sipped his chocolate
meditatively nnd watched her.
"For n poet," she said nt last, "you
are most unexpectedly practical."
"When I've offered to share my in

did not see her again until just as he
was leaving. lie had looked for her
to say good-by, but in vain, nnd Mrs.
Foster did not know where she had
hidden herself, so he was starting
off, disappointed, but resolved not
to let the thing drop, when her voice
stopped him with his hand on the
door.
"An revoir, Mr. Ashe," she said,
leaning toward him from the lowest
step of the stairway. "An revoir."
"Thank you," he responded,
heartily. "And very soon, most fair
lady of the realm of my dreams."
"That Is really a loving thing, Mr.
Ashe," she said, "and I am very
proud to think that you think thut
