Th« story la told by Nicholas TrUt. His
chief. Senator John Calhoun, offered the
portfolio of secretary of state in Tyler's
cabinet. Is told by Dr. Ward that his time
Is short. Calhoun declares that he la not
ready to die. and If he accepts Tyler's of
fer It means that Texas and Oregon must
be added to the Union. He plans to learn
the intentions of England with regard to
Mexico through Baroness Von lit Lx, secret
spy and reputed mistress of the English
ambassador, Pakenham. Nicholas Is sent
to hrlng the baroness to Calhoun’s apart
ments and misses a meeting with hts
sweetheart. Kllzabeth Churchill. While
searching fir the baroness' house a car
riage dashes up and Nicholas Is Invited to
enter. The occupant Is the baroness, who
says she Is being pursued. The pursuers
are shaken off. Nicholas Is Invited Into
tho house and delivers Calhoun's message.
He notes that the baroness has lost a
slipper.
CHAPTER VI.
Tho Boudoir of tho Baroness.
A woman's counsel brought us first to
Woe.—Dry den.
"Wait!" she said. “We shall have
candles." She clapped her hands
sharply, and again there entered the
silent old serving woman, who, obedi
ent to a gesture, proceeded to light
additional candlea In the prism stands
and sconces. The apartment was now
distinct In all its details under this
additional flood of light. Decently
as I might I looked about. 1 was
forced to stiflo tho exclamation of sur
prise which rose to my lips.
Hero certainly was European luxury
transferred to our shores. This In sim
ple Washington, with Its vast white
unfinished capltol. Its piecemeal miles
of mixed residences, and hovels! I
fancied stern Andrew Jackson or plain
John Calhoun here!
The furniture I discovered to be
exquisite In detail, of rosewood and
mahogany, with many brass chasings
and carvings, after tho fashion of the
empire, and hero and there florid orna
mentation following that of the court of
the earlier Louis. Fanciful little clocks
with carved scrolls stood about Here
and there a divan and couch showed
elaborate care In comfort. Boyond a
lace-screened grille i saw an alcove —
doubtless cut through the original par
tition wall between two of these hum
ble houses-—-and within this stood a
high tester bed. its heavy mahogany
posts beautifully carved, the couch
Itself piled deep with foundations of
I know not what of down and spread
most daintily with a coverlid of am
ber satin, whose edges fringed out al
most to tho floor. At tho other ex
tremity, screened off as In a distinct
apartment, there stood a small couch,
a Napoleon bed. with carved ends,
furnished more simply, but with equal
richness.
One resented tho liberties England
took In establishing this manner of
menage In our simple city, and ar
rogantly taking for granted our ignor
ance regarding It; but none the loss
one was forced to commend tho
thoroughness shown. My first Impres
sion was that of surprise; my second,
as I have said, a feeling of resentment
at the presumption which Installed all
this In our capital of Washington.
I presumo my thought may have
been reflected In soma manner In my
faco. I heard a gentle laugh, and
turnod about She sat there in a great
carved chair, smiling, her white arms
stretched out on tho rails, the lingers
Just gently curving.
Sho had thrown back over the rail
of the chair the rich cloak which
covered her In the carriage, and sat
now in the full light, in the splendor
of zatin and lace and gefns, her arms
baro, her throat and shoulders white
and bare, her figure recognized gra
ciously by every line of a superb
gowning such as we had not yet
learned on this side of the sea
She did not speak at first, hut sat
and smiled, studying, I presume, to
find what stuff I was made of.
"Be seated, pray,” she said at last,
“Let us talk over this matter.”
Obedient to her gesture, I dropped
Into a chair opposite to her, she her
self not varying her posture and still
regarding me with the laugh In her
half-closed eyes.
-What do you think of my little
place T” she asked finally.
"Two things, madam," said I, half
sternly. "If It belonged to a man, and
to a minister plenipotentiary, I should
not approve It. If It belonged to a lady
of means and a desire to see the lands
of this little world. I should approve It
very much.”
She looked at me with eyes slightly
narrowed, but no trace of perturbation
crossed her face. I saw it was no
ordinary woman with whom we had
to do.
"But,” I went on, “In any case and
at all events, I should say that the
bird coailned In such a cage, where
secrecy is so Imperative, would at
times find weariness—would. In fact,
wish to escape to other employment.
You, madam” —I looked at her direct
ly—“are a woman of so much Intellect
that you could not be content merely
to live.”
“No,” she said, "I would not be con
tent merely to live.”
"Precisely. Therefore, since to
make life worth the living there must
be occasionally a trifle of spice, a bit
of adventure, either for man or worn

In the Splendor of Satin and Lace and Gems.
faring amusement, this little Journey
with me to-night to meet my chief.
You have his message. I am his mes
senger, and, believe me, quite at your
service In any way you may suggest
Let us be frank. If you are agent, so
am I. See; I have come into your
camp. Dare you not come into ours?
Come; It Is an adventure to see a tall,
thin old man In a dressing gown and
a red woolen nightcap. So yon will
And my chief; and In apartments
much different from these.”
She took up the missive with its
broken seal. "So your chief, as you
call him, asks me to come to him, at
midnight, with you, a stranger?"
"Precisely. Could you go to the
office of a United States senator and
possible cabinet minister in broad day
light and the fact not be known?
Could he come to your apartmenta in
broad daylight and that fact not be
known? What would ‘that man
Pakenham’ suspect in either case? Be
lieve me, my master is wise. Great
necessity sets aside conventions, sets
aside everything. Come, then!"
But still she only sat and smiled at
me. 1 felt that purple and amber
glow, the emanation of her person
ality, of her senses, creeping around
me again as she leaned forward final
ly, her parted red-bowed lips dis
closing her delicate white teeth. I
saw the little heave of her bosom,
whether in laughter or emotion I
could not tell. I was young. Resent
ing the spell which I felt coming upon 1
me, all I could do was to reiterate my
demand for haste. She was not in the
least impressed by this.
“Come!” she said. “I am pleased
with these Americans. Yes, I am not
displeased w'ith this little adventure.”
I rose Impatiently, and walked apart
In the room. "You cannot evade me,
madam, so easily as you did the Mexi
can gentleman who followed you. You
have him In the net also? Is not the
net full enough?"
“Never!” she said, her head sway
ing slowly from side to side, her face
inscrutable. "Am I not a woman?
Ah, am I not?”
"Madam,” said I, whirling upon her,
"let me, at least, alone. I am too
small game for you. I am but a mes
senger. Time passes. Let us arrive
at our business.”
"What would you do If I refused to
go with you?” she asked, still smiling
at me. But I saw that her attitude to
ward me held no more than that of a
bird of prey and some little creature
well within its power. It made me
angry to be so rated.
“You ask me what I should do?” I
retorted savagely. "1 shall tell you
first what I will do if you continue
your refusal. 1 will taka you with me,
and so keep my engagement with my
chief. Keep away from the bell rope!
Remain silent! Do not move! You
should go If I had to carry you there
In a suck —because that Is my er
rand ! ”
“Oh, lie vet at him threaten!” she
laughed stilt. "And he despises my
poor little vastle here In the side
street, where half the time I am so
lonely!. What would monsieur do If
■ monsieur were In my place—and If I
I were In monsieur's place? But, bah!
you would not have me following you
in the first hour we met, boy!"
I flushed again hotly at this last
word. “Madam may discontinue the
thought of my boyhood; I am older
than she. But If you ask me what
I would do with a woman If I followed
her, or If she followed me, then I will
tell you. If 1 owned this place and all
in it, I would tear down every picture
from these walls, every silken cover
from yonder couches! I would rip
out these walls and put back the ones
that once were here! A house of logs
far out In the countries that I know
would do for you, madam!” I went on
hotly. "You should forget the touch
of silk and lace. No neighbor you
should know until I was willing. Any
man who followed you should meet
me!”
"Excellent! What then?”
"Then, madam the baroness. I
would In turn build you a palace, one
of logs, and would make you a most
excellent couch of the husks of corn.
You should cook at my fireplace, and
for me!”
She smiled slowly past me, at me.
"Pray be seated,” she said. "You In
terest me.”
"It is late,” I reiterated. "Come!
Must I do some of these things—force
you into obedience —carry you away
in a sack? My master cannot wait”
She smiled, lazily extending her
flawless arms and looking down at
them, at all of her splendid figure, as
though in interested examination. "I
am alone so much —so bored!” she
went on. “And Sir Richard Paken
ham Is so very, very fat Ah, God!
You cannot guess how fat he is. But
you, you are not fat” She looked me
over critically, to my great uneasiness.
“All the more reason for doing as I
have suggested, madam; for Mr. Cal
houn is not even so fat as I am. This
little interview with my chief, I doubt
not, will prove of Interest Indeed” —
1 went on seriously and intently—"l
venture to say this much without pre
suming on my station: the talk which
you will have with my chief to-night
will show you things yeu have never
known, give you an interest in living
which perhaps you have not felt If
I am not mistaken, you will find much
In common between you and my mas
ter. I speak not to the agent of Eng
land, but to the lady Helena von Ritz.”
"He Is old,” she went on. “He is
very old. His face is thin and blood
less and fleshless. He is old.”
"Madam,” I said, "his mind is young,
his purpose young, his ambition young;
and his country la young. Is not the
youth of all these things still your
own?”
She made no answer, but sat mu
sing, drumming lightly on the chair
arm. I was reaching for her cloak.
Than at once I caught a glimpse of
her stockinged foot, the toe of which
slightly protruded from beneath her
ball gown. She saw the glance and
laughed.
"Poor feet,” she said. "Ah, mes
pauvres pleds la! You would like to
sue them bruised by the hard going In
some heathen country? See, you have
no carriage, and mine Is gone. I have
not even a pair of shoes. Go look
under the bed beyond.”
I obeyed her gladly enough. Under
\ 9 TlzM
J%g3? f\ wi-S r
[ the fringe of the satin counterpane I
1 found a box of boots, slippers, all man
ner of footwear, daintily and neatly
arranged. Taking out a pair to my
fancy, I carried them out and knelt
before her.
"Then, madam," said I, “since you
insist on this, I shall choose. America
is not Europe. Our feet here have
rougher going and must be shod for
it. Allow me! ”
Without the least hesitation in the
world, or the least immodesty, she half
protruded the foot which still retained
its slipper. As I removed this latter,
through some gay Impulse, whose na
ture I did not pause to analyze, I half
mechanically thrust it into the side
pocket of my coat.
"This shall be security,” said I,
"that what you speak with my master
shall be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.”
There was a curious deeper red In
her cheek. I saw her bosom beat the
faster rhythm.
"Quite agreed!” she answered. But
she motioned me away, taking the
stout boot In her own hand and turn
ing aside as she fastened it She
looked over her shoulder at me now
and again while thus engaged.
"Tell me,” she said gently, “what
security do I have? You come, by
my Invitation, it is true, but none the
less an intrusion, into my apartments.
You demand of me something which
no man has a right to demand. Be
cause I am disposed to be gracious,
and because I am disposed to be en
nuye, and because Mr. Pakenham Is
fat, I am willing to take into consid
eration what you ask. I have never
seen a thin gentleman In a woolen
nightcap, and I am curious. But no
gentleman plays games with a lady in
which the dice are loaded for himself.
Come, what security shall 1 have?”
I did not pretend to understand her.
Perhaps, after all, we all had been
misinformed regarding her? I could
not tell. But her spirit of camaraderie,
her good-fellowship, her courage, quite
aside from her personal charm, had
now begun to Impress me.
"Madam," said I, feeling In my
pocket; “no heathen has much of this
world’s goods. All my possessions
would not furnish one of these rooms.
I cannot offer gems, as does Scnor
Yturrio —but, would this be of service
—until to-morrow? That will leave
him and me with a slipper each. It is
with reluctance I pledge to return
mine!”
By chance I had felt In my pocket
a little object which I had placed
there that very day for quite another
purpose. It was only a little trinket
of Indian manufacture, which I had
intended to give Elizabeth that very
evening; a soft of cloak clasp, orig
inally made as an Indian blanket
fastening, with two round discs ground
out of Bhells and connected by beaded
thongs. The trinket was curious,
though of small value. The bareness
looked at it with interest
“How it reminds me of this heathen
country!” she said. “Is this all that
your art can do in jewelry? Yet it ia
beautiful. Come, will you not give it
to me?”
“Until to-morrow, madam.”
“No longer?”
“I cannot promise it longer. I must,
unfortunately, have it back whep I
send a messenger—l shall hardly rdime
myself, madam.”
“Ah!” she scoffed. “Then It belongs
to another woman?”
“Yes, it is promised to another."
“Then this is to be the last time we
meet?” •
”1 do not doubt It”
“Are you not sorry?”
“Naturally, madam!”
She sighed, laughing as she did so.
Yet I could not evade seeing the
curious color on her cheek, the rise
and fall of the laces over her bosom.
Utterly self-possessed, satisfied with
life as it had come to her, without il
lusion as to life, absorbed in the great
game of living and adventuring—so I
should have described her. Then why
should her heart beat one stroke faster
now? I dismissed that question, and
rebuked my eyes, which I found con
tinually turning toward her.
She motioned to a little table near
by. “Put the slipper there,” she said.
“Your little neck clasp, also.” Again
I obeyed her.
“Stand there!” she said, motioning
to the opposite side of the table; and
I did so. “Now,” said she, looking at
me gravely, “I am going with you to
see this man whom you call your
chief. The favor may mean as much
on one side as on the other —I shall
not tell you why. But we shall play
fair until, as you say, perhaps to-mor
row. After that —”
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
Not as Bad as Ha Had Feared.
"I should think,” said the beautiful
young widow, “you would resent Mr.
Brown’s remarks concerning you.”
“What has he been saying about
me?” asked Senator Piffle.
“He says you are a politician and
not a statesman.”
“Oh, pshaw! I don’t mind that I
was afraid you were going to tell ms
he had been saying 1 was not true (#
my party."

OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL
Pretty Safe to Say That Doctor's
Diagnosis Was “Away Off”
in This Case.
The pretty daughter of a physician
Is engaged to a college student of
whom her father does not altogether
approve. His daughter is too young
to think of marriage, the doctor as
serts; the college student Is too
young to think of it, likewise. It is
out of the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night.
“Father says,” she summed It up;
"father says, dear, that I will have to
give you up.”
The young man sighed. "Then It’s
all over?” he murmured, with gloomy
interrogation. And the girl laughed
and blushed.
"Well,” she said, “well, you—you —-
know that when the doctor gives you
up that’s just the time for you to take
more hope. Isn’t It sometimes that
way?”—Reboboth Sunday Herald.
As It Appeared in Print.
Senator Newlands of Nevada was
soaring in debate one day, soaring so
high he “hit the ceiling.” He realized
he was getting a trifle fowery and to
excuse himself said: "Indeed, Mr.
President, perfervid oratory may be
pardoned, for this subject furnishes
all the food eloquence needs."
That sounded pretty good to Mr.
Newlands, but he was a bit abashed
when he read In the Congressional
Record next day that he asserted his
topic “furnished all the food elephants
need.”
Very Tortuous Indeed.
The late Hugh J. Grant of New
York once talked at a political ban
quet, about a noted corporation law
yer.
“Oh, yes, he’s a grand mind.” he
said. "A grand legal mind. He’s got
the most tortuous mind in America.”
Mr. Grant shook his head.
“A tortuous mind indeed," he re
peated. “Why, if he swallowed a
nail, he’d bring up a screw."
RESULTS OF FOOD.
Health and Natural Conditions Come
From Right Feeding.
Man, physically, should be Tike a
perfectly regulated machine, each
part working easily in its appropri
ate place. A slight derangement
causes undue friction and wear, and
frequently ruins the entire system.
A well-known educator of Boston
found a way to keep the brain and
the body in that harmonious co-opera
tion which makes a joy of living.
"Two years ago,” she writes, “being
in a cendition of nervous exhaustion,
1 resigned my position as teacher,
which I had held for over 40 years.
Since then the entire rest has, of
course, been a benefit, but the use of
Grape-Nuts has removed one great
cause of illness in the past, namely,
constipation, and its attendant evils.
“I generally make my entire break
fast on a raw egg beaten into four
spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little
hot milk or hot water added. I like
It extremely, my food assimilates, and
my bowels take care of themselves.
I find my brain power and physical
endurance much greater and I know
that the use of the Grape-Nuts has
contributed largely to this result

I write this testimonial, and trust It
may be the means of aiding others In
their search for health.” Name given
