CHAPTER II.
By Special Dispatch.
In nil crnn mill nil rllmrn n wotnnn of

choio Onlda.
"Nicholas," ruIiI Calhoun, turning
to ma maidenly, hut with his Invnrl
Qhlo kindliness of tone, "oblige mo to
night. I lmvo written a message hero.
.You will boo tho tuldrcHH "
"I hnvo unavoidably heard this
lady'H name," I hesitated.
"You will find tho lady's name ahovo
tho seal. Take her this meHsngo from
mo. Yes, your errand is to brine the
least ltnowii and moat talked of worn
on In Washington, alone, unattended
nave by yourself, to u gentleman's
npnrtments, to his house, nt a tlmo
jmst tho hour of midnight! That gen
tloman Ih myself! You must not tnko
any answer In tho negative."
As I nat dumbly, holding UiIb Bcaled
document in my hand, ho turned to Dr.
Ward, with a nod towurd myself.
"I choose my young aldo, Mr. Trlst
Siorc, for good reasons. He Is Just
ack from six months In tho wilder
ness, and may bo shy; hut once ho
Hind n way with women, so they toll
line and you know, In approaching
klio question ad fcmlnnm wo opernto
per homlnem."
Dr. Wnrd took snuff with vlolenco
bb ho regarded me critically.
"I do not doubt the young man's sin
cerity and faithfulness," snld he. "I
rwns only (mentioning one thing."
"Yes?"
; "Ills ngc." '
Calhoun rubbed his chin. "Nlcho
las," ho said, "you heard me. I havo
Sio wish to encumber you with uscIchb
nstructlons. Your errand Is beforo
jyou. Very much depends upon It, as
you havo heard. All I can sny 1b, keep
'your bond, keep your feet, and keep
your heart!"
, Tho two older men both turned
,now, and smiled at mc In a manner
not wholly to my liking. Neither was
'this errand to my liking.
It was true, I was hardly arrived
ttiome after many months in the went;
but I had certain planB of my own for
'that vory night, and although as yet I
had made no definite engagement with
imy fiancee, Miss Elizabeth Churchill
iof Elmburst farm, for meeting her at
tho great hall this night, such cor
talnly was my desire and my Inten
tion. Why, 1 had scarce seen Eliza
'belli twlco in tho last year.
"Ho might bo older," said Calhoun
nt longtli, spenklng of mo as though I
wero not present. "And 'tis a hard
game to play, if onco my lady Helen
Rakco It into her merry head to mako
tt bo for him. But If I sent one shorter
of stature and uglier of visage and
with less art in approaching a crino
line why, pcrhnps ho would got no
farthor than her door. No; ho will
eorvc ho must servo!"
Ho arose now, and bowed to us
both, oven as I rose and turned for
my clonk to shield me from tho raw
-drlzzlo which then was falling In the
streots.
So this, then, was my errand. My
fmlnd still tingled nt Its unwclcomo
Quality. Dr. Ward guessed somothlng
of my montnl dissatisfaction.
"Novor mind, Nicholas," Bald he, as
rwo parted nt tho Htroet cornor, where
fee climbed into tho rickety carriage
'which hlB colored driver held await-
ng him. "Never mind. I don't my-
elf qulto know what Calhoun wants;
nt ho would not nsk of you anything
orsonally linpropor. Do his orrnnd,
thcn. It Is part of your work. In nny
aae and I thought I saw him grin
iln tho dim light "you may havo a
(night which you will remember."
Thoro proved to be truth In what ho
said
CHAPTER III.
In Argument.
Tho egotism of women Is always for
two. Mmo. Do Htuol.
Tho thought of missing my meeting
with Elizabeth still rankled in my
won!. Had It boon another man who
lasked mo to carry this message, I
taunt havo refused. But this man was
any master, my chief, In whoso sorv
Sco I had engaged.
, For myself, his agent, I hnd, as I
(oay, loft tho old Trlst homestead at
tho foot of South mountain In Mary
land, to seek my fortuno in our capi

years' somldlplomutlc training when
I first met Calhoun and entered his
uorvlco as uBBistnuL It was under
him that I flnlshod my studies In law.

vory many quests, his source of Infor

myaolf thrust through this relntlon
with a man so Intimately connected
for a generation with our public llfo.
Tor six months I hnd been In Missis
sippi and Texas studying mntters nnd
nion, and now, Just bnck from Natchi
toches, I felt that I had earned somo
little rest.
Vaguely In my conscience I felt
thnt, after nil, my errand was Justi
fied, even though nt somo cost to my
own wishes nnd my own pride. The
faither I walked In tho dnrk along
Pennsylvania avenue, Into which final
ly 1 swung after I hnd crossed Rock
bridge, tho moro I realized that per
haps thlH big game was worth playing
In detail and without quibble as tho
mnster mind should dictate.
I was, indeed, young Nicholas Trlst,
of Maryland; six feet tall, thin, lean,
nlwayH hungry, perhnpB a trifle freck
led, a llttlo sandy of hair, blue I sup
pose or eye, although I am not sure;
good rider nnd good marcher, I know;
something of nn expert with tho
weapons of my tlmo nnd people; fond
of a horse nnd a dog and a rlllo yes,
and a glass and a girl, If truth bo told.
I was not yet .'10, In nplto of my west
ern travels. At that ago tho rustle of
silk or dimity, tho suspicion of ad
venture, tempts tho worst or tho best
of us, I fear. Woman! tho voir
sound or tho word mndo my blood
leap then. I went forward rather
blithely, as I now blush to confess.
"If thcro nro maps to ho mndo to
night," said I, "tho UaronosH Helena
shall do her shnro In writing on my
Knock at the Third Door In
chief's old mahogany desk, and not
on her own dressing caso."
That was an idlo boast, though
mado but to myself. I had not yet
met the woman.
CHAPTER IV.
The Baroness Helena.
Woman Is seldom merciful to the miin
who Is tlmld, Kdwnrd Uutwer I.yttou,
Thoro wns one or our dim street
lights nt a central corner on old Penn
sylvania avenue, nnd under It, alter
a long walk, I paused for a glanco at
tho Inscription on my sealed docu
ment. I had not looked nt It beforo in
tho confusion of my somewhat hur
ried mental processes. In addition
to tho name and street number, In Cal
houn's writing, I rend this memo
randum: "Knock at tho third door
In tho second block bejond M streot."
I recalled tho nearest cross street;
but 1 must confess tho direction still
seemed somewhat cryptic. Puzzled, I
stood under tho lamp, shielding tho
faco or tho noto under my cloak to
keep off tho rain, ns I studied it.
Tho sound or wheels behind me on
tho muddy pavement cnlled my atten
tion, and I looked nbout. A enrriago
tamo swinging up to tho curb where
I Btood. It wub driven rapidly, and
as It approached tho door swung open.
1 henrd a quick word, and tho driver
pulled up his horses. I saw tho light
shlno through tho door on n glimpse
or whito satin. I looked ngaln. Yes,
it was a beckoning hand! Tho negro
driver lookod at mo Inquiringly.
Ah, well, I Buppoao diplomacy under
40
tho stars runs much tho samo In nil
ages. 1 have said that I loved Eliza
beth, but also said I was not yet 30.
Moreover, I was a gentleman, and
hero might be tt lady in need of help.
1 need not say thnt in a moment I was
at the side of the canlago. Its occu
pant mndo no exclamation of surprise;
In fact, she moved back upon tho
other side of the seat in the darkness,
ns though to make room for me!
A dark framed face, whoso outlines
I could only dimly see in the faint
light of the Htteot lamp, leaned to
wnrd me. The same small hand ner
vously reached out, as though hi re
quest. I now very naturally .stepped closer.
A pair of wide and very dark eyes
wns looking Into initio I could now
see her fnco. There was no smile
upon her lips. I had never seen her
before, that wns sure nor did I ever
think to see her llko again; I could
sny that even then, even in tho half
light, Just a trlilo foreign, tho face;
Boiuowhat dnrk. but not too dark;
tho lips full, the eyes luminous, the
forehead beautifully arched, chin and
check beautifully tounded, nose clean
cut nnd straight, thin but not pinched.
There was nothing niggard about her.
She was magnlllcent a magnificent
woman. I saw that she had splendid
JowcIb at her throat, In her ears a
necklace of diamonds, long hoops ol
diamonds and emctnlds used as ear
tings! a sparkling clasp which caught
at her white throat tho wrap which
Bho had thrown about her ball gown-
the Second Block Beyond M Street.
for now I saw she was in full evening
ilrcBs. 1 guessed she had been an at
tendant nt the great ball, that ball
which I had missed with so keen a re
gret myself the ball where 1 hnd
hoped to dance with Elizabeth. With
out doubt she had lost her way and
was asking the first stranger for In
structions to her drher.
My lady, whoever she was, seemed
pleased with her rapid temporary
scrutiny. With a faint murmur,
whether of Invitation or not I scarce
could tell, she diew bnck again to tho
farther side of the scat. Beforo I
know how or why, I was nt her side.
The driver pushed shut tho door, and
whipped up his team.
Personally l am gifted with hut
small Imagination In a very matter
of fact way I had got into this enr
riago with a strange lady. Now la a
sober and matter of fact way it ap
peared to mo my duty to find out the
reason for this singular situation.
"Madam." I remarked to my com
panion, "in what manner can i ho of
service to on this evening?"
"I nm fortunate that you nro a gen
tleman," sho said. In a low nnd soft
voice, quite distinct, qulto musical In
qunlity, and murked with Just tho
faintest tinco of some foreign accont,
although her English was perfect.
1 looked again at hor. Yes, her hair
was dark; that was sure. It swept up
In a great roll about hor oval brow.
Her oyea, too, must bo dark, I con
firmed. Yes as a passed lamp Rave
mo aid there wore strong dark brows
above thorn. Hor noso, too, waa pa
trician; her chin curvlnc Just strongly

enough, but not too full, nnd faintly
cleft, a sign of power, thoy say.
A third gracious lamp gave mo a
gllmpso of her figure, huddled back
among her draperies nnd I guessed
hor to be about of medium holght. A
fourth lamp showed me her hnndo.
small, firm, whito; also I could catch
a gllmpso of hqr arm, as It lay out
stretched, her lingers clasping a fnu.
So I knew her nrms wero round and
taper, hence all her limbs nnd figure
finely molded, because nature doca
not do such things by halves, nnd
makes no bungles In her symmetry
or contour when she plans a noble
specimen or humanity. Here was a
noble specimen of what woman
may bo.
I was not In SUCh a hlirrv tn nar
ngaln how I might bo of service. In
fnct, being somewhat surprised and
somewhat pleased, I remained silent
now for a time, nnd let mnttera adjust
themselves; which 1b not a bad coin so
for any ono similarly engaged.
Sho turned toward me at last de
liberately, her ran against her lips,
studying me. And I did as much, ta
king advantage ns I could or the pass
ing street lamps. Then, all at once,
without warning or apology, sho
smiled, showing very even and white
teeth.
She smiled. There came to mo from
tho purple-colored shadows some sort
of deep perfume, strange to me I
rrown at the description or such
things and such emotions, but I swear
thnt as I sat there, a strangor. I folt
swim up around mo some sort of am
ber Bhndow, edged with purple tho
shadow, as I figured it then, being
this perfume, curious nnd alluring'
It was wet, there in the street. Why
should I rebel at this stealing charm
of color or fragrance lot those name
it bettor who cun. At least I sat. smi
ling to myself in my purple-amber
shadow, now in no very special hurry.
At last I could not, In politeness,
keep this up further.
"How may T. serve the baroness?"
said I.
Sho started back on the scat as far
as sho could go.
"How did you know?" she asked.
"And who are you?"
I laughed. "I did not know, and
did not guess until almost as I began
to speak; but If It comes to that. 1
might say I am simply an humblo
gontlemnn or Washington hero. I
might be privileged to peop in nt am
bassadors' balls through tho win
dows, at least."
"But you wero not there you did
not seo me? I never saw you in my
life until this very moment how,
then, do you know mo? Spcnk! At
once!" Her satins rustled. I knew
Bho wns tapping n loot on tho carriage
floor.
"Madam," I answered, laughing at
her: "by this amber purple shadow,
with flecks of scarlet and pink; by
this perfume which weaves webs for
me hero in this carriage, I know you.
Tho light Is poor, but it Is good
enough to show one who can bo no
ono elso but the Baioness von Ritz."
1 was In the mood to splco an ad
venture which had gone thus far. Of
course she thought mo craved, and
drew back again in tho shadow; but
when I turned and smiled, sho smiled
In nnswer herself somewhut puzzled.
"Tho BaroneBs von Hit, cannot bo
disguised," I snld; "not even If she
woro her domino."
She looked dowu at the llttlo mask
wirich hung from tho silken cord, and
Hung it from her.
"Oh, then, very well!" she said. "It
you know who I am, who are you,
and why do you talk In this absurd
way with me, a stranger?"
"And, why, madam, do you take me
up, a stranger, in this absurd way, at
midnight, on the streets of Washing
ton? I, who am engaged on business
for my chief?"
She tapped agnln with her foot on
the carriage tloor. "Tell me who you
nre!" she Huld.
"Once a young planter from Mary
land yonder; sometime would-be law
yer here in Washington. It Is my mis
fortune not to bo so distinguished
In fame or beauty that my nnimj Is
known by all; so I need not tell you
my naino perhaps, only assuring you
that I nm at our service If 1 may bo
useful."

I monies of a Hallelujah chorus. He was1
j jiko mo sort stone In some quarries,
easily cut and shaped when first taken
t from tho quarry, but soon hardening
into lock. Peter expresses the possi
bilities Jesus saw In the natuie or
Simon, an "Ideal which God would
mako divinely real."
I-or three years Peter was an ear-
nest pupil In Christ's school. He made
I many mistakes; he fought ninny bat
I ties on the battlefield of his heart;
j ho had some severe reproors, but he
, hnd a wise, encouraging, patient
i teacher. After a time ho wns ad vane
, ed to the highest gtade with James
I and John. "The first essentlnl for sue
cess is a soul," an awakened soul.
Ono of tho most Interesting studies
I for a teacher, Is to go carefully
I through tho (losnols. iiml utmu-:
Christ's method of teaching and train-"
ing sucn nn unruly but earnest scholar
ns Peter was.
"Thou shalt deny mo thrice, disown
mo as jour Lord and Master." Peter
was sure that he would not full in the
hour of temptation. No one knows
what ho will do in unexpected circum-
1 stances. But Jesus did all ho could,
to put Peter on his guard.
, An Interval of somo hours. Goth

apostles desert Jesus. But Peter and
John follow afar off. Tho trial before

Peter was sitting with the servants

i Then began he to curse, call dowu
1 curses on himself it ho did not snoali '
i tho truth. And to swear, to call Got
to witness that It was true. It it
moro thun probable that Poter, In hl
I earlior llfo as a fisherman, boloro hla
i conversion, had been in tho lmhlt n
using profane language, nnd now, in
tho sudden surprise of temptation, the!
oiu iiauit uroitu tortn anew, as tho lnni
1 guugo of youth, long unused, Is almosH
certain to be employed In times ol
great excitement. It Js a long am
hnrd discipline that entirely conquers
tho sins or youth.
"I know not the man." And this In
tho very nresonco of .Tobum "Tim
ways down which tho bud Bhlp Wick-
eunoss snues to a shoreless ocean
must be greased with lies." "A Ho Im
put out to interest, and tho Interest is'
compound."
It was now that Peter was "sifted)
ns wheat." Part of what he thought
was wheat was really chaff, and this,
j errlble sifting under temptation blew
away in tho roughest manner most,
i of the chnff, his lnconstnncy, his'
! fiery temper, his self-confidence, but!
, preset ved all tho good in his charac-
' ter, purified and perfected.
! Wo can bo good In spite of falls..
God can bring good out of evil. That'
in his glory, and our hope. Uut ho canj
do far moie with our victories than)
by our failures.
Then Jesus looked upon Peter. Tho.
tlreok word for "looked" occurs buti
In ono other placo In tho Gospels
It moans that "ho looked Into him "
j Into his very heart, "with eyea that)
went llko lightning to tho quick of his
conscience." Peter remembered the)
1 warning, and went out nnd wept the,
i bitterest tears of repentance.
From this time on Peter wns n now,
i man. Tho charcoal had becomo dla.
mond. Ho describes tho effect In hla
first Epistle (1:7). "That tho trial of;
your faith, being much moro precious
thaii of gold that perslstoth, though!
i it bo tried with lire, might bo found un
to prnlse and honor nnd glory at tho ap
I pearlng of Jesus Christ:" Peter re
joiced when he could express his lovo
to Jesus by Buffering In his cause. Ho
wrote a letter which has boon a coml
fort and n power all down tho ages,
Ills victory not his fall in tho greati
crisis gavo him power over men to thd
end.
"In tho pain and tho ropentnnco,
