stoutly and will he come to me here
When Paul came Into the room a
few minutes later Stelnmetz was
standing by the Are He turned and
looked gravely at the prince
I have Just kicked De Chauxvllle
jut of the house he said
The color left Pauls face quite sud
denly
Why he asked with hard eyes
lie had begun to distrust Etta and
there is nothing so hard to stop as the
growth of distrust
Stelnmetz did not answer at once
Was it not my privilege asked
Paul with a grim smile There are some
smiles more terrible than any frown
No answered Stelnmetz I think
not It is not as bad as that But it Is
bad enough it is bad enough I horse
whipped him first for myself IIow
pleasant that was And then I kicked
him out for you
Why repeated Paul with a white
face
It Is a long story answered Steln
metz without looking at him He
knows too much
Paul walked away to the window
He stood looking out his hands thrust
Into the side pockets of his jacket his
broad back turned uncompromisingly
upon his companion
Tell me the story he said You
need not hurry over It You need not
trouble to spare me Only let it be
quite complete once for all
pression of the face that was looking
out of the window
This man has hated me all his life
he said It began as such things usu
ally do between men about a woman
It was years ago I got the better of
him and the good God got the better
of me She died and De Chauxvllle for
got her I have not forgotten her but
I have tried to do so It is a slow proc
ess and I have made very little prog
ress but all that is my affair and be
side the question I merely mention it
to show you that De Chauxville had a
grudge against me
This Is no time for mistaken char
ity Interrupted Paul Do not try to
screen anybody I shall see through
it
There was a little pause Never had
that silent room been so noiseless
In after life Steinmetz went on
it was our fate to be at variance sev
eral times Our mutual dislike has
had no opportunity of diminishing It
seems that before you married De
Chauxvllle was pleased to consider
himself In love with Mrs Sydney Bam
borough Whether he had any right to
think himself ill used I do not know
Such matters are usually known to two
persons only and imperfectly by them
It would appear that the wound to
his vanity was serious It developed
into a thirst for revenge He looked
about for some means to do you harm
He communicated with your enemies
and allied himself to such men as Vas
sili of Paris He followed us to Pe
tersburg and then he had a stroke of
good fortune He found out who be
trayed the Charity league
Paul turned slowly round In his
eyes there burned a dull hungering
fire
Ah He knows that he said
slowly
Yes God help us he knows that
And who was it
Steinmetz moved uneasily from one
foot to the other
A woman you know said Stein
metz slowly
Good God Catrina
No not Catrina
Then who cried Paul hoarsely
His hands fell heavily on the table
Your wife
Paul knew before the words were
Bpoken
He turned again and stood looking
out of the window with his hands
thrust Into his pockets
Steinmetz watched Pauls motionless
back with a sort of fascination He
moved uneasily as if to break a spell
of silence almost unbearable in its in
tensity He went to ttie table and sat
down From mere habit he took up a
quill pen He looked at the point of it
and at the inkstand But he had noth
ing to write There was nothing to say
He laid the pen aside and sat leaning
his broad head upon the palm of his
hand his two elbows on the table
Paul never moved Steinmetz waited
At length Paul moved He turned
and coming toward the table laid his
hand on Steinmetzs broad shoulder
Are you sure of it he askeil In a
voice that did not sound like his own
at all a hollow voice like that of an
old man
Quite I have it from Stepan Lano
vitch from the princess herself
They remained thus for a moment
Then Paul withdrew his hand and
walked slowly to the window
Tell me he said how she did it
Stelnmetz was playing with the quill
pen again
It was an organized plan between
husband and wife he said Bambor
ough turned up at Thors and asked for
a nights lodging on the strength of a
very small acquaintance He stole the
papers from Stepans study and took
them to Tver where his wife was
waiting for them She took them on to
Paris and sold them to Vasslli Bam
borough began his journey eastward
knowing presumably that he could not
escape by the western frontier but lost
his way on the steppe You remember
the man whom we picked up between
here and Tver with his face all cut to
pieces He had been dragged by the
stirrup That was Sydney Bambor
ough The good God had hit back
quickly
How long have you known this
asked Paul in a queer voice
I saw it suddenly in the princess
face one day in Petersburg a sort of
revelation I read It there and she saw
me reading I should have liked to
keep It from you for your sake as well
as for hers This might have been one
t
y
o them But De Chauxvllle found It
out and It Is better that I should tell
you than he
Of course said Paul after a long
pause I have been a great fool I
know that But
He turned and looked at Stelnmetz
with haggard eyes
But I would rather go on being a
tool than suspect any one of a decep
tion like this
Paul walked slowly to the chair he
usually occupied opposite to Stelnmetz
at the writing table He walked and
Bat down bb If he had traveled a long
distance
What Is to be done asked Steln
metz
I do not know I do not think that
it matters much What do you recom
mend
There Is so much to be done an
swered Stelnmetz that It is difficult
to know what to do first We must
not forget that De Chauxvllle is furi
ous He will do all the harm of which
he is capable at once We must not
forget that the country is in a state of
smoldering revolt and that we have
two women two English ladles In
trusted to our care
Paul moved uneasily in his chair
His companion had struck the right
note This large man was happiest
when he was tiring himself out
Yes but about Etta he said
And the sound of his voice made
Stelnmetz wince There is nothing so
Stelnmetz winced He knew the ex- heartrending as the sight of dumb suf
fering
You must see her answered he re
flectively You must see her of
course She may be able to explain
She cannot explain away Stepan
Lanovitchs ruined life She can hard
ly explain away a thousand deaths
from unnatural causes every winter in
this province alone
Tills was what Steinmetz dreaded
justice
Give her the opportunity he said
Paul was looking out of the window
His singularly firm mouth was still
and quiet not a mouth for explana
tions
I will If you like he said
I do like Paul I beg of you to do
it And remember that she is not a
man
This like other appeals of the same
nature fell on stony ground Paul sim
ply did not understand It In all the
I years of his work among the peasants
it is possible that some wellspring of
conventional charity had been dried
up scorched in the glare of burning in
justice He was not at this moment in
a mood to consider the only excuse
that Steinmetz seemed to be able to
urge
The sun had set long ago The short
twilight lay over the snow covered
land with a chill hopelessness Stein
metz looked at his watch They had
been together an hour one of those
hours that count as years in a lifetime
He had to peer into the face of the
watch In order to see the hands The
room was almost dark and no servant
ever came to It unless summoned
We must dress for dinner said
Steinmetz Afterward well after
ward we shall see
Yes answered Paul And he did
not go
I do not want you to think he said
at last that it is as bad as It might
have been It might have been worse
much worse had I not made a mistake
In regard to my own feelings when I
married her I will try and do the
right thing by her Only at present
there does not seem to be much left
except you
Stelnmetz looked up with his quaint
ly resigned smile
Ah yes he said I am there al
ways
CHAPTER XXXV
came down to dinner smil
ing and imperturbable On the
threshold of the drawing room
she exchanged n crlnnce with
Karl Stelnmetz and that was all At
dinner it was Maggie and Paul who
were silent Etta talked to Steinmetz
brightly gayly with a certain cour
age of a very high order for she was
desperate and she did not show It
At last the evening came to an end
Maggie had sung two songs Stein
metz had performed on the piano with
a marvelous touch At last Etta rose
to go to bed with a little sharp sigh
of great suspense It was coming
She went up to her room bidding
Maggie good night in the passage In
a mechanical way she allowed the deft
handed maid to array her in a dress
ing gown soft silken a dainty tri
umph in its way Then almost impa
tiently she sent the maid away when
her hair was only half released She
would brush it herself She was tired
No she wanted nothing more
She sat down by the fire brush in
hand She could hardly breathe It
was coming
She heard Paul come to his dressing
room She heard his deep quiet voice
reply to some question of his valet
Then the word Good night in the
same quiet voice The valet had gone
There was only the door now between
her and what Her fingers were at
the throat of her dressing gown The
soft lace seemed to choke her
Then Paul knocked at the door It
was coming She opened her lips but
at first could make no sound
Come in she said at length
hoarsely
She wondered whether he would kill
her She wondered whether she was
in love with her husband She had
begun wondering that lately She was
wondering it when he came in He
had changed his dress coat for a silk
faced jacket in which he was in the
habit of working with Steinmetz in
the quiet room after the household had
gone to bed
She looked up She dropped the
brush and ran toward him with a great
rustle of her flowing silks
Oh Paul what is it she cried
She stopped short not daring to
touch him before his cold set face
Have you seen any one she whis
pered
Only De Chauxvllle he answered
this afternoon
Indeed Paul she protested hastily
It was nothing A message from Ca
trina Lanovltch It was only the usual
visit of an acquaintance It would
have been very strange if he had not
called Do you think I could care for
a man like that
I never did think so until now re
turned Taul steadily Your excuses
accuse you You may care for him
1 do not know I do not care
She turned slowly and went back to
her chair Mechanically she took up
the brush and shook back her beautiful
hair
You mean you do not care for me
she said
I do not think said Paul judicially
that you can have cared very much
whether I loved you or not When you
married me you knew that I was the
promoter of the Charity league I al
most told you I told you so much
that with your knowledge you must
have been aware of the fact that I was
heavily interested in the undertaking
which you betrayed You married
me without certain proof of your hus
bands death such was your haste to
call yourself a princess And now I
find on your own confession that you
have a clandestine understanding with
a man who tried to murder me only a
week ago Is it not rather absurd to
talk of caring
He stood looking down at her cold
and terrible in the white heat of his
suppressed northern anger
The little clock on the mantelpiece
in a terrible hurry ticked with all its
might Time was speeding Every
moment was against her And she
could think of nothing to say simply
because those things that she would
have said to others would carry no
weight with this man
I suppose she said without looking
at him that you will not believe me
when I tell you that I hate the man I
knew nothing of what you refer to as
happening last week his attempt to
murder you I mean You are a prince
and all powerful in your own province
Can you not throw him into prison and
keep him there Such things are done
in Russia He is more dangerous than
you think Please do it Please
Paul looked at her with hard unre
sponsive eyes Lives depended on his
answer
I did not come here to discuss
Claude de Chauxville he said but
you and our future
Etta drew herself up as one under
the lash and waited with set teeth
I propose he said In a final voice
which made it no proposition at all
that you go home to England at once
with your cousin This country is not
safe for you The house in London
will be at your disposal I will make a
suitable settlement on you sufficient to
live in accordance with your title and
position I must ask you to remember
that the name you bear has hitherto
been an unsullied one We have been
proud of our princesses up to now In
case of any trouble reaching you from
outside sources connected with this
country I should like you to remember
that you are under my protection and
that of Steinmetz Either of us will be
glad at any time to consider any ap
peal for assistance that you may think
fit to make You will always be the
Princess Howard Alexis
Etta gave a sudden laugh
Oh yes she said and her face was
strangely red I shall still be the Prin
cess Alexis
With sufficient money to keep up
the position he went on with the
cruel Irony of a slow spoken man But
there are certain stipulations which I
must make in self defense I must ask
you to cease all communication of
whatever nature with the Baron de
Chauxville I am not jealous of him
now I do not know why
He paused as if wondering what the
meaning of this might be Etta knew
it The knowledge was part of her
punishment
But continued her husband I am
not going to sacrifice the name my
mother bore to the vanity of a French
coxcomb You will be kind enough to
avoid all society where it Is likely that
you should meet him If you disre
gard my desires in this matter I shall
be compelled to take means to onforee
them
What means
I shall reduce your allowance
Their eyes met and perhaps that
was the bitterest moment in Ettas
life Dead things are better put out
of sight at once Etta felt that Pauls
dead love would grin at her In every
sovereign of the allowance which was
to be hers She would never gat away
frgm it She could never shake off its
memory
Am I to live alone asked Etta
suddenly finding her voice
That is as you like answered Paul
perhaps purposely misunderstanding
her You are at liberty to have any
friend or companion you wish Per
hapsyour cousin
Maggie
Yes answered Paul For the first
time since he had entered the room his
eyes were averted from Ettas face
She would not live with me said
the princess curtly
You need not tell the circumstances
which have given rise to this arrange
ment
Etta shrugged her Hbocders
That went on PajJ rests entire
ly with yourself You may be sure
that I will tell no one 1 cm not likely
to discuss it with any cuj whomso
ever
Ettas stony eyes softened ftt a mo
ment She seemed to 1C alternating
between hatred of this man and love
of him a dangerous tat tot any
woman It is possible that if he had
held his hand out to her sb would
