CHAPTBR XXVIII. fCoSTiNt rn.i
“You are complimentary to your
friend's husband.'’
“My friend!" exclaimed the girl;
“ah, no, monsieur, she Is not that
she is too good for that and If she
used to bo his friend, tell him he
ought to help h'r. She wants some
one’s help."
■'Probably," returned the Scotch
man; “but U’s a dangerous thing, my
girl, to Interfere between husband and
wife, and my friend ’’•ill do well to
keep out of It. There, that will do for
Mils morning, Adele,” he added, as she
leaped from the rostrum; “take my
advice, and say nothing of this Inci
dent to madatne your friend. It may
unsettle her, and make the end of her
married life rather more unbearable
than the beginning of It.”
He lit up his pipe again and strolled
carelessly about the studio until Adele
hail left. Then Ills manner suddenly
changed; he left the studio, rushed up
a flight of stairs, and entered the lit
tle snuggery above, where his com
panion was silting, and clapped lilrn
on the ' boulder.
"Sutherland, my boy,” lie exclaimed,
^ “good i i vys.”
Sutherland, awakened suddenly from
bis day-dream, started from his chair.
"About Marjorie?’’ he cried.
“Yes,” returned his friend with a
smile, “about Marforie. I have been
talking this morning with a woman
who is o re of her intimate friend*."
“Where is she?" exclaimed Suther
land. "Let mo ne her."
"Now. look here, tny good fellow,”
returned the other, "you must sit
down and C’asc to excite yourself.
Moreover, you must work cautiously,
or my prize may turn out a blank.
Yes, I have discovered in the model

the house with Marjorie, who knows
exactly how happy or how wretched

said, for she is a rough creature, and
might turn stubborn. She is gone
now, but she will return tomorrow,
and you shall talk to her. Think it
over, and decide for yourself the best
way to act."
He descended to the studio, while
Sutherland sank again into his chair
to think of Marjorie.
He spent a singularly restless night;
the next morning he looked pale and
harassed. But after breakfast when
^ he entered the studio he was quite
calm. He was working with his cus
tomary ardor when the studio door
opened and Adeie came in.
The moment she appeared he sprang
up and accosted her.
"I am glad you have come," he
said, in doubtful French, "i I wish
to speak to you about a lady whom
you know well. Yes; Nairn, my
friend, has told me that you know
her.”
Adeie fixed her wild eyes upon the
young man, and then, with a curious
smile, pointed to a portrait.
"You mean her?” she asked.
"Yes, yes! Teil me all you know
concerning her. I am interested In

house, though how or why 1 cannot
guess. What takes you there?"
"1 carry a message sometimes from
the cabaret," answered Adele.
"And you see her? you speak to
her?"
"Why not?” said the girl, somewhat
defiantly, for she read In the young
man's face no little astonishment that
Marjorie should see such company,
i “Yes, I see her and the child. She is
like that picture, but changed, older,
ltut there, perhaps you sometimes see
her for yourself,”
y "Only from a distance," answered
Sutherland. "I have not spoken to her,
she dm* not know that 1 am in Haris.
Hut I have seen enough," he added,
sadly, "to suspect that she Is unhap
py and neglected. Is that no?"
Adele looked at hint for some mo

the low, hursh laugh habitual to her
"You know little or nothing, mou

"Not exactly. He simply prefers her

gives Seraphlne a little supper, and
leaves his wife to mind the baby at

She turned as If about to leave lilm.
but Sutherland called her lia'k.
“Mademoiselle Adele, 1 I am not a
rich man, hut Madame Caussldlcre has
friends who will not see her want. You
have access to her, I have not; yon
can give her some money ”
Adele laughed aloud.

Muring the few days which followed
Sutherland was like a man entranced
utterly bewildered an to what he
should do.
Once or Iwicp he raw Marjorie walk
ing with her little hoy In the slreets
of I’aris, and he fancied that her face
! looked more careworn Ilian ever. He
dared not speak to her. It would be
better, he thought, to make his pres
erne known to Cauasldfcre, and to give
that gentleman plainly to understand
that unless Marjorie's life were made
more hearable to her, the checks from
Miss Hetherington would inevitably
cease. That would he the only way to
touch Caussldlere’s heart It was the
surest way to proceed, and* Sutherland
determined to net upon It.
One morning some two days after
his interview with Adele he left his
rooms with the determination to find
Caussidiorc. So engrossed wag lie with
this new idea that for the time being
he forgot all else, lie walked through
the streets, along the boulevards. H<
was wondering how and where he
should carry out his design, when lr*
was suddenly startled by the sound of
his own name.
Ho started, turned quickly, and
found himself face to face with Mar
jorie.
For a moment he could say nothing.
A mist was before his eyes, anil his
lislng tears choked him; but he held
forth his hands to grasp her trembling
lingers.
•‘Johnnie," she said, "it is really
you' Oh, I am so glad, so glad!"
He brushed away the mist which was
blinding his eyes and linked at her
again. Her cheeks were suffused, her
eyes sparkled, and a sad smile played
about the corners of her mouth. S!:<
the Marjorie whom he hail known
years before.
The change lasted only for a mo
ment, then her face became paler and
sadder than It had been before, and
her voice trembled as she said:
•‘Johnnie, you must tell me now how
they all are at Dumfries."
She sat down on one of the benches
which were placed hy the roadside, and
Sutherland took his scat beside her.
"1 was sitting here." she said, "when
I saw you pass. At flrHt 1 ciuld not
believe It was you, It seemed so strunge
that you should he in I’arls, that I
should meet a friend from Scotland."
The tears came Into her eyes uguln,
and her voice trembled. Turning
her face away, site beheld a pair of
eyes gazing wonderlngl) up at her.
"l.eon. moil |Hitlt," she said, placing
her hand niton her child's golden curls;
then turning to Sutherland she said:
•'This Is my little boy."
As little lasm was not conversant j

remained unchanged. A Kray, weary,
worn-out woman, she dwelt alone In
Annandale Castle.
Holding little I-eon by tbe hand, they
strolled quietly along under the *rees.
Presently they came to one of the
many m'try-go-rounds which arc to
he found In the Champs Elysect. Mer
ry children were riding on the wooden
horses, and mothers and nursery-maids
were looking on.
Here little I .eon clamored for a ride,
nnd Sutherland placet! him on one of
the horses. As he rode round and
round, uttering cries of infantine tie
light, Marjorie looked on with height
ened color, here eyes full of mother's
tender rapture; and, gazing upon her,
Sutherland thought to himself:
"Poor Marjorie! She loves her hus
band for her child's sake. I have no
right to come between them.”
When the ride was done and the
three passed on together, Marjorie
seemed to have forgotten al her trou
ble and to look her old smiling self, but
Sutherland's heart sank In deep dejec
tion.
Close to the Madeleine they part'd,
with a warm handshake und a prom
ise to meet again.
From that day forth Marjorie and
Sutherland met frequently, and walked
together In the Hols de Doulogne or on
the boulevards, with little la on for a
companion. At. her express entreaty
he refrained from speaking to Causal*
dlere, though he saw that, despite her
attempts at cheerfulness, her fare
sometimes wore an expression of in
creasing pain. He began to suspect
that there was something very wrong
Indeed; anti he determined to discover,
If possible, the exact, relations exist
ing between Marjorie and her husband.
Meantime, the meetings with hie old
sweeheart were full of an abundant
happiness, tempered with sympathetic
distress.

Hite received a communication' an
anonymous letter - which ran w.t fol

“Madame When your husband Is

Marjorie read the letter through

blood of Egypt Ih (entered who east

If ever It became bin, is Mahomet Ali,
the younger brother of the Khedive.
The Spbynx, an English newspaper
published in Cairo, the capital of
Egypt, has recently made public an
nouncement tHat Mahomet Ali, heir to
the throne, was engaged to "Miss Wan
omaker," of America, The Khedive
promptly sent forth a denial. Certain
Egyptian nev/spapt ra published tli"
denial wit It doubts and commented on
Mahomet All's devoted attentions to
Mina Wanamaker in Paris. The news
traveled to the American colony in
Paris and found I s way into the
French newspapers. Mr. Wanamaker
promptly denied that Miss Wanamaker
hail anything more than a friendship
for the young Egyptian. Mahomet AH
is a young man of twenty-two years.
He is very like his brother, the Khe
dive, and these who best know him
say he Is much more intelligent. How
ever that may be, Mahomet is very
fond of the society of foreigners, and
the bright eyes of the feminine section
of the foreign element have been to him
wondrously attractive. For an Egyp
tian Mahomet Is very cosmopolitan,
and society in London and Paris knows
him well. It was In Paris, so the story
goes, that he first met Miss Lillie Wan
amaker, and by means of the same
story we are told that Cupid scored at

Ail this was in accordance with the
wishes of the plotters unutterably op
posed to foreign domination and to all
which savored even of foreign influ
j ence. It stamped Mahomet in their
i minds as a friend of tiie foreigner, al
| though they had always believed liiru
to be this. Now, however, they said to
themselves that here was proof posi
tive that the heir apparent to throne
of Egypt was hand In glove with the
hated foreigner, evidence sufficient as
to what his policy would be should
fate ever grant him the honor of being
the nominal ruler of Egypt. The Egyp
tian native party is well organized. It
has keen emissaries throughout Eu
rope. its leaders know the state of
feeling in every country where the peo
ple are In the least interested from a
personal standpoint in the nation by
the Nile, They are fertile In expe
dient, and they well understand the
necessity of steadfast action regarding
any plan which they have determined
to carry out. Tills explains why the
story of Mahomet's engagement has
so often been repeated repeated Iti the
manner which carries conviction. In
fact, It Is absolutely true that In Eu
rope today the belief is very strong
that tome day, before so very long, Ma
homet will issue Invitations to wltne
tiie marriage to the young woman
whom tiie Parisians call “La Belle Ani
crlcalne.” Both Mahomet All and the
Khedive himself are wi ll aware of de
plan to ruin tils political aspirations
through a pretty girl, a girl who Is ss
innocent of knowledge of even tli"
faintest suspicion of the truth as sli'
Is charming of face and of manner.
He knows, of course, that his enemies,
who are those of his brother ns well,
are constantly plotting the overthrow
of hlm.-i lf and the Khedive. He also
knows that at tiie present time the
anti-foreign feeling In Egypt is very
itrong and constantly gaining. The

resented and neither Is the possibility
of French rule relished.
Hence when Mahomet spends weeks
In Paris for the purpose, ;ih the emis
saries of Ike native party have caused
It to be declared, of courting un Amer
ican girl, an argument against the heir
apparent is furnished which, In the
eyes of the foreign hating element of
Egypt, is irresistible In point of show
ing the unfitness of Mahomet to ever
properly fulfil the duties which devolve
upon the Khedive.
Miss Lillie Wanamaker is now at her
father's home, No. 2b.'i2 Walnut street
Philadelphia. When she returned
from Paris, a few weeks ago, the story
Immediately appeared In European pa
pers that Mahomet All was going to
pay the United States a vb-lt. Coupled
with this rumor was the statement that
upon the result of this visit would de
pend his future happiness, so far as L
could he affected by the American girl
who It had long been stated was to lie
offered the opportunity to become the
wife of tho heir apparent. The weeks
have passed and Mahomet has shown
no signs of saying even adieu to the
gayeties of Parisian llifo for the pur
pose of a brief sojourn in the United
States. Rumor, fed by the Egyptian
conspirators, continues busy, and with
in a week the positive announcement
has been made in Europe that “Miss
Wanamaker of Philadelphia” was to
weil Mahomet. Tho vigorous denials
of Miss Wanamaker and her father
can by no means keep pace with the
plotters of the native party of Egypt.
Miss Lillie Wanamaker is one of the
leaders of Philadelphia's Four Hun
dred. Before the marriage of her sis
ter, Mrs. Barclay Warburton, the
‘‘Wanamaker girls,” ns they were
called, were considered ihp most desir
able of the marriageable young women
which the Quaker city contained.
Therefore in the Philadelphia fashion
able mind, if Mahomet Ali sought Miss
Wanamaker he showed wisdom. Par
isians say he did seek her. Miss Wan
amaker says he did not. Mahomet says
nothing. The world wonders if it can
possibly be true that for even a little
moment the Philadelphia beauty
