SYNOPSIS.
Lord Wilfred Vincent and Archibald
Terlitinc are Introduced at tho ojicnlnp f
the Ftory, In EnKlutui, tho latter rolntliiK
tlio tale. Tho pair on im oiitlnR mlnn
their train and seeking recreation moot
"tho Honorable Agatha WyckhofT. "
CHAPTER I. Continued.
This proved to he tho case. As 1
addressed myself to her tho girl roso
with dignity and replied: "I am the
Honorable Agatha WyckhofT and I
own these grounds. So, you see, you arc
trespassing." ,
Hut her tone was laughing and her
expression not nt all severe, so I
promptly told her who wo wore, and
wo shook hands, tho Honorable- Agatha
smiling nt mo somewhat tho way sho
had smiled nt Vincent, though perhaps
a trlflo more appreciatively.
"Wo didn't mean to," said Vincent,
"and I hope you don't mind. You'll
forgive us, won't you?"
Tho girl laughed, and it was a laugh
that I liko to hear, not the silly, re
pressed giggle of a London debutante.
"She'll very' nearly do," I thought,
"even If sho Isn't more than 20."
"Forglvo you?" she repeated. "Of
course I will. I think It's great fun.
I haven't seen a new man for six
weeks."
1 was wondering what she meant
by using the word "now" and waiting
for Vincent to reply, when, Instead of
answering her, ho suddenly pointed
over my shoulder with a look of hor
ror. "The train," ho cried, "tho train!"
Sum enough, when I turned I saw
our train had started and, although
moving slowly, was well on its way
to tho llttlu town in tho distance
Wo were three-quarters of a mllo
from tho tracks by this time, and of
course pursuit wns useless.
"Left behind," cried Vincent, tlra
matlcully, nnd burst out laughing.
That's Just llko him he always
laughs at everything. For my own
part I couldn't see anything funny
about It. Horo wo were set down In a
llttlo town thnt probably did not con
tain nn Inn, while our luggage traveled
merrily' on to Cuppstonc, all because
of a foolish whim of his. The girl
laughed, too, so thero wns no uso in
telling him what I thought of him then.
"Well, what nio wo going to do?" I
asked sharply.
"Do?" echoed Vincent. "Why, with
her permission, we'll play a gamo of
gold with tho Honorable Agatha, and
then go on to tho station, whatever Its
numo Is, and tnko another train for
Cuppstonc."
"Its name Is Wye." said tho Honor
able Agatha, "tho town of Wye, and
that's a very good plan. That's just
what we'll do."
And It wns Just what wo did do. And
you should havo seen that girl play
golf! Hy the tlmo wo had beon around
tho 18-holo course I felt a little fatigued
one has to keep In training to do
that sort of thing nt a minute's notice
but Vincent and tho Honorable
Agatha seemed as frosh as when wo
stnrtcd and proposed a raco to tho
station. I told them to run on uhcad
nnd I'd meet them lator, so away
thoy dashed, with Rudolph leaping nnd
barking In front of them, never doubt
ing that tho wholo thing was planned
for his especial benefit.
When I reached tho station at last,
Instead of seeing about our train or
telegraphing to Guppstone about our
late arrival, thoro was Vincent sitting
on tho luggago-truck with that girl,
nnd, I am ashamed to say, he wns hold
ing her hand. When thoy spied me tho
girl trlcjd to pull her hand away, but
Vincent held on.
"That you, Archibald?" he called, as
if It could havo been anynno else.
"Come on up hero. Wo'vo been telling
fortunes, nnd Miss Agatha's hand Is
very interesting."
"No doubt," I nnBwered, dryly; "but
what havo you dono about telegraphing
to Cuppstonc, nnd whnt train havo you
found wo can take?"
"Thero Isn't any train," said Vin
cent, as cheerfully uu If he woro tell
ing mo n bit of good nows. "Only two
trains a day run through Wyo from
Iondon, and ours was tho Inst. Any
way, your friend, tho guard, thought
wo ought to get off hero nnd put off all
our luggage."
I looked around In consternation and
thoro were our boxes, all piled neatly
at tho far end of tho platform.
"For gosdness' suke, Wilfred" I
call him Wilfred whon I urn angry I
said, turning on Vincent, who was
again busy telling fortunes "do tnko
some Interest. What are we going to
do? Isn't thero a station master hero
who can tell us about the luns of this
The
1A2a
11
place, If there arc any? I'm starving."
Vincent looked up and again
smiled that irritating smllo of his.
"Don't get hot," ho drawled; "it's all
right. Tho Honorabfo Agatha has In
vited us to the castla nnd she's tele
phoned for tho dogcart nud n wagon for
our luggage. Haven't you, Angel?" ho
ended, turning his hnntlsonio bronzed
face to the girl, with one of his best
smiles, ono of tho kind he reserves
especially for tho fair sex.
1 frowned. Vincent really makes
advances too quickly.
"Why didn't you say so nt, first?" I
said, rather peevishly, ns 1 sat down
on tho steps to await the dogcart which
ono could see already, a black speck
In the distance on the winding road
from tho castle. The speck finally dis
appeared behind a clump of trees, and
when It emerged nnd drew up nt tho
station we saw what a stunning llttlo
turnout it was. Tho horso wns as
lino as any jou'il meet on tho Lady's
Mile, tho harness was clinking and
Bhlnlng with ornnmentn, nnd tho cart
and tho groom's livery wero faultless.
Tho Honorable, Agntha mounted the
box scut. "Christopher," she snld to
tho groom, "I'm going to drive. You'd
better lido back with tho 'trunks.' "
Then, bofore I had lime to Interfere,
Vincent leaped nimbly tip to tho sent
beside her nnd I was obliged to tnko
the rumblo with Rudolph, who leaped
tip beside mo ns If to his accustomed
Beat. I was too anxious 1o got to tho
castle and get comethlng to eat, how
ever, to mind, nnd the Honorablo
Agatha proving to bo as good a whip
ns slio was golfer, wo wero soon
winding up tho last gentle slope that
led to the big building. Ah we drove
down tho long avenue another dogcart
approached us rapidly, and as It camo
almost abreast, to my mirprlso I
recognized the young man who was sit
ting with the groom as young Murray
Drnncepeth. lie saw us nt tho samo
moment nud both dogcarts stopped.
"Hullo, Murray!" said Vincent and 1
together.
Rut ho never paid the slightest at
tention to us. Instead, ho jumped
lightly from his high cnt nnd camo
around to tho Honorable Agnthn's sldo
of our cart. Reaching up he caught
her hand.
"I don't enre whether you'ie tho real
Agatha or not," ho said, his dark face
flushed with the intensity of his feci-

ing. "You've got to marry mo somo
time. I'm not after money. I've somo
of my own and I'll lpako Bomo more.
When you're tired of this folly I'm
coming back for you. Good-by.' And
ho wrung her hand till tho Honornblo
Agatha winced. Then ho was gono in
a rattle of gravel and dust.
Wo couldn't help hearing what ho
said and ho didn't seem to caro
whether we 'did or not. Rut wo could
hnrdly believe our ears. Young Mur
ray Rrancepeth, that glided idler, de
claring himself tho victim of n mighty
passion, nnd, more astounding still,
Bwcarlng that ho would mako somo
money! He. who hnd never dono any
work in his llfo besides that necessary
to bleed his rich old uncle of his living
expenses.
"What was It he tmid." I thought,
"about the 'real Agatha' and 'folly?'"
What did It all mean?
As wo drove up to tho castlo en
trance two girls of about 19 and 20, I
should say, came tearing around tho
corner, tennis racquets in hand, and
BhrlekQd nloud, evidently with sur
prised delight nt seeing us.
"Oh, Agntha," erled the foremost
of tho two, a tall, brown-eyed, brown
fiujeil sylph, with a profusion of wnvy
and very disorderly brown hair. , "Oh,
Agatha, whero did you get them? I'm
bo tired of Rrancepeth."
"Yes," cried tho othor one, "whero
did they drop from? 1 thought you
were playing golf." Sho was a Jolly
Utile thing, this second one, small, but
plump, with fair skin and bluo eyes,
really very attractive.
This waB somewhat ombarrnBBlng
to mo, but Vincent stood thero, utterly
uuperturbed, bowing with that easy
graco of his, as tho Honorablo Agatha
Introduced ns. Rut Imagine our sur
prise when sho preponted each of
thoso two young things ns "the Honor
able' Agntha WyckhofT!"
"Rut I thought you were tho Honor
ablo Agatha," I cried, unable to ro
presB my nBtonlshment.
"So I am," sho nnswored, smiling,
and we followed her into tho house,
silent but wondorlng.

ovory linnglnnblo luxury wns provided.
After n llttlo Intorchango of pleas
antries tn tho spacious hall our black
hatred friend raised her voice in n
stentorian shout, In answer to which
it brisk, elderly Indy camo down tho
mahogany stairs anil welcomed us
cordially. Sho was Introduced ns "our
aunt and chaperon, Mrs. Armlstend,"
amid peals of laughter from tho girls,
although wo couldn't boo any Joke. Wo
thon went to our rooms, which con
tained everything wo could possibly
havo desired, and when wo enmo down
.to dlnnor tho footman told us thnt
Mrs. Armlstend nud tho young Indies
were awaiting us In tho drawing room.
Wo crossed the hall, nud when tho
heavy curtains that separated It from
tho huge drawing room weru lifted to
admit us, wo saw at least 20 girls
ranging In ago from IS to 23, stnndlng
or sitting around the room In attitudes
o! expectancy. I found out Inter that
thoro woro really only six of them, but,
at tho time, thero looked to bo 20.
They wero all pretty, nil woro evening
dress, and nil were talking nt onco;
hut ns Vincent ami I entered they
stopped nnd Mrs. Armlstend enmo for
ward and presented us to tho thrco
girls wo had not yet seen.
Tho first of tho new three, Agatha
Fourth, as Vincent nnd I called hor
later, was tall and very fair, with won
derful bluo eyes nnd a beautiful figure.
That our bewilderment nnd nslonlBh
ment Increased when sho iiIbo was pre
sented to us ns tho Honorablo Agatha
WyckhofT may bo easily understood.
Tho next one had light-brown hair
with gold lights In it nnd her eyes
were n golden hnzel. As bIio, too, wns
introduced as tho Honorablo WyckhofT
I bowed mechanically, as did Vincent,
not dnrlng to trust myself to utter a
word or repent tho nnme. Then, turn
ing from Agatha Fifth, wo mot tho
Honorablo Agatha Sixth and last, and
I thought sho wns tho prettiest of all.
Dollcato and small sho was, but overy
inch nn nristocrnt from her small
charming head to her dainty little feet.
Her eyes wero dark brown, her com
plexion clear olive, nnd her hair
straight and Boft nnd jet blnclc. I took
to her nt once, though I thought sho
looked rather sarcastic.
Tho Introductions over, wo wont in
to dinner, nnd such a meal ns that
was! At ono end of tho tnblo sat
Mrs. ArmlBtoad, whllo I But nt tho oth

and noxt to him, Agntha Fourth tho
tall, falr-haircd beauty. I havo de

not difficult to keep them npnrt. Noxt

girl with tho bluo eyes, Agntha Third.
Then on my right oh, fortunate mo!

n costumo of pink nnd white. I should
havo thought that these girls wero
American had I not had reason to be
lieve that they wero English; thero
wns that .breezy simplicity and becom
ingness about their gowns which
Rcems to be distinctly American.
But I have omitted from my cate
gory Agatha Fifth, tho Agatha of tho
hazel eyes. I will not now tako tlmo
to do justice to her many chnrms, but
shall do so later for reasons which will
soon appear. Mrs. Armlstead's sec
retary, who camo In lato and slipped
into the sent at Mrs. Armlstead's left,
completed tho nilmber of persons at
tho table. Sho was a quiet young woman
dressed In a severely simplo gown of
gray, and her hair, which wts dono
very plainly, was distinctly red In
color. Mrs. Armlstend introduced her
to us as her secretary, Miss Marsh.

Great Man Broke Up the Most Pro
found Social Frost.
I wob lately told n delightful story
of a great statesman staying with a
humbio and anxious host, who hadln
vltcd a pnrty of simplo and unimpor
tant peoplo to meet tho great man.
Tho statesman camo in lato for din
ner, nnd was introduced to tho party;
ho made a series ,of old-fashioned
bows in nil directions, but no ono felt
in a position to offer nny observntions.
Tho great man, at tho conclusion of
tho ceremony, turned to his host, and
said, In tones that had often thrilled a
listening Hcnnto: "What very con
venient Jugs you havo In your bed
rooms! They pour well!" Tho social
frost broko up; the company wero de
lighted to find that tho great man
was Interested in mundano matters of
a kind on which every ono might bo
permitted to havo an opinion, and tho
conversation, starting from tho
humblest conveniences of dally life,
melted insensibly into moro liberal
subjects. Arthur C. Benson, In Put

Last year a German association

Recently Bcveral official experts
have made an examination of about 40
of these artificial gems. In tholr re

"Of all tho stones wo examined, wo
