It was the night porter who opened the door at Kenrlth'a “Come in," and he was holding a beautiful collie dog In leash. ”1 beg pardon,” he said, restraining the animal with difficulty, "but Prince Charlie seems half out of his senses to. night.

But be looked puxzled. He was sure that, unknown to him. Trow brldgo must have done something to rouse the Prince's enmity, and he was asking himself what It could have been when the affair could have happened. "One would think,” said Kenrlth, smiling, "that the Prince expected Mr. Trowbridge to attack you, Oxford, and that ho was standing on guard, to pro tect you at any cost. He has lust that attitude.” Trowbridge laughed again. "1 had better try to show the faithful old chap that his master and I are the beet of friends,” said he. "Now, let us clink our glasses together, and then drink, to look after till morning. ll'i been the confusion of the Are In _ _ the house or the smell of smoke, any- That act ought to prove to the dog bow he's more like a wild thing than himself. I made bold to bring him u| b»re. thinking If I saw a light still, would knock and ask the captain to see what he could do to sooth the poor bsast." "That'S right, Millar,” said Captain Oxford, who paid a porter to take care of the dog at night, the only time In the twenty-four hours when he was •operated from his master, even In a hotel. "Let him come to me.' As he spoke, Oxford put down his - ' - ' ■ untouched. The (lass with tho whisky porter fastened tho dog's leash from the ring In his collar, and the beautiful •nature bounded through the door to nil master. The young officer patted hu knee, as a sign that Prince Charlie *«s permitted to lay his head upon If: “»t to his surprise the animal did not respond us usual to this much appre- oated signal.

He held out his glass and Oxford took up hts again, Kenrlth also lifting hla to his lips once more, but as Trow bridge extended his hand toward Cap tain Oxford, each holding his glass, with a fierce growl tho collie leaped up between the two men, and striking his tawny head against his master's tum bler, dashed It to the ground. It broke with a sharp crash, Its contents spat' tcrlng the Iloor, and drenching the dog's finely marked face and glossy ruff. Both men mechanically drew back to escape tho deluge, and Kenrlth was surprised at the expression which for an Instant dlsllgured Trowbridge's tea tures. It was natural thai he should bo slightly startled, and perhaps vexed: but a look of such rage and hatred darkened his eyes for a second that Kenrlth feared In his sudden anger he would attempt to kill the Prince. Quick ly as It had come, so quickly did the strange expression fade, however, and Kenrlth was half Inclined to think It must have been a trick of light and shadow. Thero was confusion for n moment, Captain Oxford holding and rebuklm: the dog, Trowbridge wiping the spllle. liquid from his evening shirt and white waistcoat, which were plentifully be spattered, and the night porter (who had been standing Inside the door, as If to await further orders) running to nick up the pieces of broken glass. As he stooped, his back to Trow bridge, he glanced up meaningly at Kenrlth. and held out u tiny note, fold ed In triangular fashion, and crumpled aa If It had been held concealed In the man's palm.

Ho guessed that aho had asked tho night porter to deliver the note secretly. If ho were not alone In tho foom, and that very likely tho man had cleverly mado the restlessness of Prince Charlie his excuse for so late a call. Hastily, while the attention of Ox ford and Trowbridge was too complete ly engaged for them to guess that any thing was going on behind their backs, he unfolded the note, and rend, with Intense surprise nnd bewilderment the few words Elspeth had scrawled there, CHAPTER XVII. Lady Lambart’s Day: It had been a strange and terrible day for Lady Lambart, one of the most terrible of her llfo, which, of late years, had not been lived all In sunshine. In the first place, the morning had been begun by a hideous shock. She had hoped to wring a proposal for her self from Kenrlth, and to have matters settled between Hillary and Trowbridge before the bursting of tho storm which had been threatening so long. If she had dared Bhe woulir have spoken dl rectly with Kenrlth of her financial troubles, but Instinctively she had * ” that. If she seemed even to hint help from him, though Bhe would doubtless obtain all the assistance needed, she would lose forever any hops of him as a husband. He had been brought up In a differ ent world from hers, and the woman ‘ asked to marry him must be—or seem to be—like Caesar's wife. Though he admired her and was perhaps fasci nated by her (or she hoped It), he was not enough In love to forgive her for the follies and almost criminal extrava gances, which he would certainly find out If she appealed to him for help In this crisis. Her one hope had been that she might be already engaged to Kenrlth before her troubles reached extreme Issues. Then, when she could Inform her creditors that she would soon bo the wife of the well-known millionaire from the North country, they would be willing, even glad, to wait for their money. If Kenrlth made awkward dls. coverles before their marriage he would be far too honorable, too old-fashioned In his code of morality, to break hls promise. To Lady Lamb-irt's bitter disappoint ment and chagrin, however, Kenrlth had snld no word of love, and he nei ther listened nor looked at her in the old Interested way which hod given her hope. Sl(e attributed the change large ly to Elspeth .whom she—herlsew. an arch-schemer—regarded ns a designing little trickster, a kind of Becky Sharp: and nothing would have given her more delight than to hear that the young stenographer had been killed or disfig ured for life In the motor car accident. As fate had not relieved her of the ene my, she had done her best to assist des tiny, and was enchanted with the news that through her Elspeth Dean had lost her place at Lochraln Castle Hydro. For tho present, nevertheless, the girl remained, a detested Incubus; and It had been a hateful humiliation to Lady I.nmljart that she and Hilary should have received a warning from Elspeth. It was a warning for which to bo thankful; still It seemed to Lady Lam bart that she would rather not have had It at all than to have received It through the girl. It was a great relief that tho emer gency had driven Hilary to capitulate at “last; yet Lady Lambart was not easy In her mind that Elspeth Dean should be the bearer of her daughter’s message to Trowbridge. Whether Els peth had or had not acted In the affair of Captain Oxford as she had been ac cused of acting, was a detail of alight Importance to Lady Lambart;, she fa vored hls cause, and might never de liver tho note to Trowbridge. Matters being desperate at tho mo ment, Lady Lambart had tacitly con sented to let Elspeth take the letter, rather than there should be any delay, for even if Kenrlth failed, If the other millionaire wero secured, everything might yet be well. She had done her best for him with Hilary, and she In tended to have her reward. When there came no disturbing news from downstairs, Lady Lambart took It for granted that Trowbridge had had the note, and that he had kept hls promise to save her and here whenever the time of need might come. The two ladles breakfasted In their room, Instead of going down os usual; but when an hour had passed In peace. Lady Lambart felt thankfully certain that the coast had been cleared.for her, and was anxious that Hilary should descend for a talk with Trowbridge. But Hilary obstinately refused to leave her room. "He must have hnd my letter long ago,” she said, might answer It. It is enough excuse that I hava a headache. I’ve done what you asked of me. I've consented to make the sacrifice, and I shall be miserable all the rest of my life; but know you don't care for that, mother, ve done enough for this morning. .v’trfcfm’Sfsv.v --rx-xrrMa^ mean to stay where I am and keep out of Mr. Trowbridge's way." "He will think It very strange, and ho will have a right to be angry," said Lady Lambart. '•He knows I don’t love him," the girl answered. Still, you have promised to marry the man now. You have no right to avoid him." •'Oh, mother. I must have one more day to myself,” Hilary cried, her eyes brimming with tears. "I've promised myself to him, but In the mood I'm In, If—If he should try to kiss me I feel that I could strike him across the face.” Lady Lambart was startled. There was a look In Hilary's eyes which told her that the girl was In no state to be coerced. 8he dared urge her no further, for Trowbridge was certainly not a patient man, and If Hilary should for get herself and be rude to him he might repent hls bargain. The best thing, she thought, would be Jo go down and sec the man, make op some pretty message from Hilary, with apologies for the headache, and also to talk of the engagement as of a settled thing tc every one whom she might meet. She found Trowbridge In the ball, look ing pale and anxious, but he bright ened visibly on hearing from her that Lady Hilary had definitely decided to accept him. As It happened, while Lady Lambart was engaged In giving the news, the man with the dreaded •'blue paper" arrived, Trowbridge was called upon to keep hls promise, and the flew, but not to her own room. Bhe dared not wait In the hall, lest there should be some dispute, and she should called upon to see the "dreadful per- whose expected coming had so shaken her nerves. But hastily scrib bling a line to Trowbridge. ”1 will go to see Countess Radepolskot. Please come to her sitting room, and touch your right cheek If all Is well,” she handed the sealed envelope to a waiter with Instructions to give It to Mr. rowbrldge os soon aa he should come back.
