An Affable Rogue.

composure as effectlvo ns granlto. Tho

a low Kursle. ns of little) waves reced

cpoken a word; to tho Arabs It was
not necessary; In oomo manner, subtlo
and Indescribable, they recognized a
brother. Ho carried a long, cyllndrl

ere, was tho not unreasonable) conclu

lth that caution acquired by years
of experlonoo, which had culminated
fa what Is known as Swiss diplomacy,
ji brought Into being the accustomed
Salutatory smile and inquired if the
Hentleman had written ahead for res

poselblo to accommodate him.
"1 telegraphed," crisply.
"Tho name, if you please 7"
"Ryanne; spoiled R-y-a doubte-n .
Have you over been in County Clare?"
"No, sir." Tho manager added a
nueotion with the uplift of his eye
brows. "Well," was tho enlightening an
swer, "you pronounce it as they do
there."
Tho manager scanned tho llttlo slip
pf paper in his hand. "Ah, yes; we
have reserved a room for you, sir.
The French style rather confused me."
This was not offered in irony, or sar
casm, or satire; mining In a Swiss
brain for tho saving grace of humor
Is about as remunerative as the ex
traction of gold from sea-water. Nev
ertheless, the Swiss has tho talent of
fcwlftly subtracting from a confusion
ot ideas one point of illumination:
there was a quality to the stranger's
tone that decided him favorably. It
was tho voice of a man in the habit
of being obeyed; and in these days it
as tho power of money alono that
obtained obedience to any man. Re
rand this, tho same nebulous cogita
tion that had subdued tho Arabs out
side acted likewise .upon him. Here
.was a brother.
"Mall?"
"I will see, sir." Tho raanagor sum
moned a porter. "Room 208."
Tho porter caught up the omowhat
collapsed kit-bag, which had in all evi
dence received some rough usage in
Its time, and reached toward the roll.
Mr. Ryanna interposed.
"I will boo to that, my man," torse-
"Yes, air."
"Whero is your guest-Hat?" de
manded Mr. Ryan'ns of tho manager.
"The head-portors bureau, sir. I

The porter then understood that he
-was dealing not with a species of
mid lunacy, but with that kind of
light-hearted cynicism upon which
tho world (as porters know it) ha4 set
Its approving seal. In brief, he smiled
faintly; and if he bad any pleasantry
to pass in turn, the approach ot the
manager, now clothed metaphorically
in deferentialism, relegated it to
tho Umbo of things thought but left
unsaid.
"Hero Is a letter for you, Mr. Ry.

"No." Mr, Ryanne smiled, "ghall

"Oh, no, Mr!" Ten years age tae

"Will you have a boy show mo tho

"Ah, if roulette could bo played with
such a certainty."
Mr. Ryanno sighed, hitched up his
bundle, which, being hoavy, was begin
ning to wear upon his arm, and signi
fied to tho manager to lead tho way.
As they vanished round pie corner
to tho lift, tho head-portor studied tho
guest-list He had looked over it a
domn times that day, but this was the
first instanco of his bolng really In

to exclto his mental processes; so
ho fell back, as we Bay, upon tho con

nothing mysterious about It, savo that
tho stranger had picked out theso very

then, there was that word bucolic.
Ho mcntnlly turned It over and over

Ho could mako nothing of tho word,
except that It amacked of tho East
Indian plnguo.
Hero ho was saved from further
cerebral agony by a timely Intcrrup
tlon. A man, who was not of bucolic
persuasion either In dress or spcoch,
urban from tho tips of his blcnchod

Ho bustled off toward the door.

however, as if he had changed his

period at the elderly gentleman who
was watching the feluccas on tho

tho under side of the foot-rug as a

It was Mr. Barrio who quaintly said:

That Is a roolpo to learn and npply.

Ho dropped his fist dejectedly.
Where had tho first step begun? And
whero would bo the last? In sonio

phine, or starvation; he'd never havo

Ho was terribly bitter. Everything

Ho went down to dinner, and they
gave him a table In an obscure corner,
as a cub tie reminder that his stylo was

CHAPTER III.
The Holy Yhlordes.
George drank his burgundy peifunc
torlly. Had it been astringent ns the
native wine of Corsica, he would not
havo noticed it. Tho llttltf- nerves
that ran from his tongue to his brain
had temporarily lost the power of com
munication. And all because of tho
Rirl across the way. He couldn't keep
his eyes from wandering in her di
rection. She faced him diagonally.
She ato but little, and when the elder
ly gentleman pouted out for her a
glass of sauterne, sho motioned It
nslde, rested her chin upon her fold
ed hands, and stared not at but
through her vis a-vls.
It wub a lovely head, topped with
colls of lustrous, light brown hair;
an oval face, of white and roso and
Ivory tones; scnrlet lips, a small, reg
ular nose, and a chin tho soft round
ness of which hid tho resoluto lift to
it. To these attributes of loveliness
wan added a perfect form, the long,
flowing curves of youth, not tho abrupt
contours of maturity. Georgo couldn't
recollect when he had been so im
pressed by a face. From the moment
sho had stepped down from tho car
riage, his Interest had been drawn,
and had grown to such dimensions
that when ho "entered tho dining-room
his glance Immediately searched for
her table. What luck in finding her
across tho way! Ho questioned if ho
had ever seen her before Thoro was
something familiar; the delicate pro
file stirred some sleeping memory but
did not wake It.
How to meet her, and when ho did
meet her, how to interest her? If she
would only drop her handkerchief, her
purse, something to give him an ex
cuse, an opening. Ah, ho was certain
that this tlmo tho hydra-headed ono
should not overcome him. To gain
her attention and to hold It, ho would
havo faced a Hon, a tiger, a wild-elephant
T diagnose these symptoms
might not ho fair to Georgo. "Love
at first sight" reads well and sounds
well, but we hoary-headed philoso
phers know that tho phrase Is only
poetical license.
Once, and only once, she looked In
his direction. It swept over him with
the chill of a winter wind that ho
meant as much to her as a tree, a
fenco, a meadow, as seen from tho
window of a speeding railway train.
But thin observation, transient as it
was, left with him the Indelible im
pression that her eyes were the sad
dest ho had ever seen. Why? Why
should a young and beautiful girl have
eyes like that? It could not man
physical weariness, else tho face
would In some way havo expressed It.
The elderly man appeared to do hla
best to animate her; he was kindly
nnd courteous and by the gentlo way
ho laughed at intervals was trying to
bolBter up tho situation with a Jest or
two. The girl never so much as smiled,
or shrugged her shoulders; she was as
reaponslvc to Uipsa overtures as mar
bio would have been.
