CHAPTER XVII—Concluded. Lady Lambart had the boot of ex. cui.es for paying a visit to Countess Radepolskoi, as by this time she had heard of the robbery, the sole subject of conversation among tho guests of the hotel. When they first made acquaintance, Lady Lambart and the Countess Rade- poLkol had seen a good deal of each other. The countess had been Interest ed In Lady Lambart because she was a friend nf John Kenrlth, and Lady Lam bert had been Interested In the countess because she was a friend of Mr. Trow bridge, the handsome American mil lionaire of whom everybody In tho Hy dro tens talking. Of late a feeling of constraint had arisen between them, sad Lady Lambart guessed that the muntess had become Jealous of Hilary "HI. Trowbridge. Knowing nothing of * bond between them which Elspeth hsd . ,rly suspected, she knew no great to - to fear tho countess. Trow- brldgo was In love with Hilary, and rather amused Lady Lambart to see the pain nf another woman. Now, she de termlned, after sympathizing duly with Countess RadepolBkol on the loss .'of her Jewels—quite famous throughout the hotel—she would casually mention Hilary's engagement, perhaps asking with all Innocence whether the countess had been told of It nlready by "her friend, Mr. Trowbridge.” Lady Lambart found the door of the countess' sitting room ajar. She knocked, and when there was no an swer, pushed the door farther open. No one was thero; but as she hesitated on tho threshold, tho countess' French maid looked out hurriedly from an In. ner room. 'Where Is your mistress?” asked Lady Lambart. Tho woman was folding up a hand some tea gown, and Ludy Lambart noticed that she was very pale, with a curious, strained look In the eyes, If she were momentarily expecting something alarming to happen. But, perhaps, this was the effect upon her drink a BOTTLE EVERY WHERE rather like that. "Madame la Coun- tesoo hoe been called away very sud denly, mlladl," she said. "I am pack ing her things, and will follow as soon as I can,” "Hone!” exclaimed Lady Lambart, “That Is Indeed sudden. Is It on ac count of the robbery?” The maid’s dark face quivered for an Instant. . , "Yes, mlladl; It Is on account of the robbery." she replied. "Surely she will come' back?" ques tioned Lady Lambart "She has said goodby to none of Iter friends”— "I know, mlladl. It Is mosj unfor- ttinnte, and Madame regrets much; but I doubt If she will come back; though. of course, I do not’know all her plans.' A flash of enlightenment darted Into Lady Ixtmbart's brain. She imagined that Trowbridge must have told the countess of his Intention to marry Hilary, and that In a rage she had left Lochraln. "Tho Jewelry Is only an excuse," was her thought. "The countess must have felt she couldn't see the two together, and so she has vanished, making some pretense. I daresay, about Scotland Yard. But perhaps Lady Ardcllffe will know something about It. They were always In each other’s pockets lately, and now the fact that they have both been robbed will have drawn them even closer together.” In any case. Trowbridge was certain to be aware of the coumeps’ departure. Lady Lambart told the maid that If Mr. Trowbridge knocked at the sitting room door he was to be Informed that Lady Lambart had gone on to Lady Ard- clllfc's room. , , A babel of voices greeted her ears _j she knocked at Lady Ardclllte’s door, and one broken sentence came to her clearly. "Of course. I can’t prove anything now, but all the same Fm morally certain that"— The voice came nearer; the door was opened by the speaker. Lady Art- cliffe herself; and at sight of Lady Lambart she gave a little start, grow ing red. and breaking off suddenly. ■’How do you do?” said the elder woman, somewhat stiffly, looking so mnch embarrassed that Lady Lam- ba ”ve—*—that*bi, we were all talking over the robbery." she went on. “Will you come InT’ "Thanks, yaa; I’ve come to sympa- other, with a quick but eloquent glance 00000000OO0000O0OO0000000O o o O IMAGINARY KING QIVE8 O O ORDERS ON POSTAL CARD.

"It Isn’t that I care for the girl particularly," he had said. "If I have given people any reason to tjilnk so. It was only to shield her In her affair with Oxford, and also be cause you have been unkind to me late ly.

Lady Ardcllffe had Anally yielded re luctantly to Trowbrldgo’s arguments, but she had not told him how she and the Countess Radepolskoi had both been talking In the hall of the hotel the evening before against Hilary Vane and Lady Lambart. Lady Ardcllffe had said, what she had already aald to Elspeth Dean, that the two were In drendful Money dlffl- cbltlee, and that, Unless one or both of them could make a rich marriage (as they were striving heart and orain to do), she did not see at all what would become of them. Tho countess had added that she would not be In the least surprised If the mother and daughter descended to actual theft to relieve them In their dosperatlon. as already they must have pawned all their own Jewelry which was worth pawning. She would not trust Hilary Vane alone In the room with hers, she had continued; and though she h.id laughed and pretended to be half In Jest, naturally everybody who had heard the speech remembered after the robbery.

A select party hail been discussing the situation In Lady Ardcllffe’s sitting room when Lady Lambart arrived, and not a wom an there but was conscious of a quick ening of tho pulse when the mother of Hilary Vane appeared at such a dra matic moment. “I shouldn’t be surprised, myself, It ■he hadn’t left the hotel after all.” "U'li-it flu vmt moan?'' naUrwl T, What do you mean 7" asked Lady Lambart.

She was unable to resist the temptation to tell something which perhaps the others did not yet know. "And really. It’s very odd; no one saw her leave the house.” "No doubt she had her own reasons for wishing to get away so secretly," said Lady I-smbart, with a veiled sneer. Had she but known how these half dozen women were regarding her, even her proud spirit would scarcely hava ventured a sneer at the absent enemy. Lady Ardcllffe, who had lately inode common cause with the once despised "foreigner," against Lady Hilary Vane, flushed with anger. “No doubt she had her reasons for not letting some of us know the meaning of her actions,” she retorted.

The countess had said thla morn ing, before Trowbridge had come and separated them: ”1 have absolute proof against the gtrl by which I can de nounce her when she comes downstairs. I won’t tell you what It la, for If I did you wouldn't be surprised, and It'a bet ter that you should be surprised.

But If It were not In her power at the moment to have the girl slie hated arrested, she would at least so damage her reputation that Trowbridge, no matter how much in love, would hardly dare to face the world with Hilary Vane aa his wife.

Lady Lambart, on healing Lady Ard cliffe's astounding accusation of Lady Hilary, though marble pale, buret Into laughter. “After all, you are mad!” ■he cried. And then, turning to the half dozen women sitting in a silent group, she said, “What ought I to do?
