"It wiui ruuioied In diplomatic circles, of course, that you were In touch with tlio ministry of NiikIiuuI," I ventured. "I myfielf saw that much." "Naturally. Of Mexico also! At least, as you saw In our little carrliiKo raco, Mexico was desirous enough to establish Homo sort of communication with my humble Holf!" "Calhoun was rli;hl!" I exclaimed. "Ho was entirely rlht, madam, In In nlstlng that I should bring you to him that morning, whether or not you wished to go." Sho chuckled at tho memory. "How did he recelvo you, madam?" I askod. "I never knew." "Why, took my hand In both his, nnd bowed as though I Indeed were quoon, he 11 king." "Then you got on well?" "Truly; for he was wiser than his ngent, monsieur. lie found answers by asking (mentions." 'Tor Instance, he asked " "What had been my ball gown that night who was there bow 1 enjoyed myself. In a moment we were talk ing as though we had been friends for years. Tho grand vizier brought In two mugs of elder, In each a toast ed apple. Monsieur, 1 have not seen diplomacy such as this. Naturally, I was liolpless." "You told him Mimowhat of your self?" "He did not allow mo to do that, monsieur." "lint bo told you somewhat ol this country?" "All. yes, yes! So then I saw what held him up in ills work, what kept him alivo. I saw something I have not often seen 11 purpose, a principle, in a public man. His love for bis own laud touched even me, how or why 1 scarcely know. Yes, we spoke of tho poor, tho oppressed, of tho weary and tho heavy laden." "Hid ho ask you what you know of Mexico and Kngland?" "Rather what I knew of tho poor in Kttropo. I' told him some things 1 know of that hopeless land my own land. Thou he went on to tell mo of America and its hopo of a free democracy of tho people. Ileliovo 1110, I listened to Mr Calhoun. Never mind what wo said of Mr. Van Zandt and Sir Ulchard l'akenham At least, as you know, I paid off a little scoto with sir Richard that next morning What was strangest to mo wns the fact that I forgot Mr. Calhoun's at tiro, forgot tho strangeness of my er rand thltluir. It was as though only our minds falked, ono with the othor. I was soiry when at last camo (rand Vizier James to tako Mr. Cal houn's order for Ills own carriage, that brought me home my second and more peacoful arrival tlieio that night." "Then I did not fall as messenger, after alll You told Mr. Calhoun what ho desired to know?" "In part at least.

Was It not tieacheiy enough to rebuke him for his attentions to Pona LucreIn?" "lint you promised to tell Mr. Cal houn more at a later time?" "On certain condlllotiH I did," sho assented. "I do not know that I may ask those?" "You would he Hurprlsed If I told you the truth? What I leiptlred of Mr. Calhoun wns permission ami ndi still further to study his extraordinary country. Its extraoidlnaiy ways, Its extraordinary Ignorance of ItHoIf. I have told you that I needed to travel, to study, to ohservo mankind and thoso governments Invented or toler ated by mankind." "Slnco then, madam," I concluded, stepping to assist her with her chair, as she signified her completion of our repast, "slnco you do not feel now Inclined to bo specific, I feel that I ought to make my ailleux, for the time at least. It glows Into. I Bhall remember this little evening all my lire. 1 own my defeat. I do not know why you aro here, or for whom." "At what hotel do you stop?" "The llttlo place of .Inclines Rcrtll Ion, a square or so beyond tho Place (i Amies. "In that case," said she, "hellovo me, It would bo more discreet for you to reinnln unseen In Montreal. No matter which Hag Is mine, I may say that much for a friend and comrado In tho service." "Hut what else?" Sho looked about her. "fin mv guest tonight!" bIio said suddenly. "There Is danger " 'Tor me?" I Inughod. "At my hotel? On tho streets?" "No, for me." "Whero?" "Here." "And of what, mndam?" "Or a man; for tho first tlmo I am afraid, In Bpite of all." I looked at her Btralght. "Aro you not afraid or me?" I asked. She looked at mo rairly, her color coming. "With tho fear which draws a woman to a man," she said. "Whereas, mine Is tho fear which onuses a man to flco from himself!" "Hut you will remain for my pro tection? I should fool saror. Resides, in that caso I should know tho an swer." "How do you mean?" "I should know whether or not you were married!" CHAPTER XV. With Madnm the Baroness. It Ih not for good women that men haVO fotlullt IlllttleH. i?lven llu.lr- llvnu ,i,l Htalu'il their soiilH. Mih.

I have made It my plan never to fatigue my self. It Js my hour now tor my bath, my exercise, my bed, If you pleaso. I fear 1 must bid you good night, ono way or tho other. You will bo wel come here none tho less, If you caro to remain. I trust you did not Hud our llttlo repast to night unpleaslng? Relievo me, our bieaklast shall be as good. Threlka Is expert In omelets, and our coffee Is such as perhaps you "Were You Then Married?" Sho Asked. H'tlXJ Ull.UL.i may not find general In these prov inces." Was there the Hllghtest mocking sneer In her words? Hid she despise mo as a faint-heart? 1 could not tell, hut did not like the thought. "Relieve mo, madam," I answered holly, "you havo courage, at least. I)t mo mntch It. Nor do I deny that this askB courage on my part too. If you please, In these circumstances, I shall remain." "You aro armed?" sho asked simply. I Inserted a Jlnger In each waist coat pocket and showed hor tho butts of two derringers; and nt tho back of in-' neck to her smiling nmusement at our heathen fashion I displayed Jimt tho tip of tho hart or u Hhort howlcknire, which went Into a leather caBO under the collar or my coat. And again I drew around tho bolt which I woro so that sho could boo the bar rel or u good pistol, which had been suspended under cover or tho boll skirt or my coat. Sho laughed. I saw that sho wns not umiHod to weapons. I should havo guessed her the daughter or a sol dier or nciiualnted with nrms In some way. "Or course," sho said, "there might be need or these, although I think not. And In nny case, ir trou ble can bo deferred until to-morrow, why concern oneself over It? You Interest mo. I begin yet more to ap prove of you." "Then, as to that breakfast a la fourchctto with madam; ir I remain, will you agreo to tell mo whnt is your business hero? Sho laughed at mo gaily. "I might," sho said, "provided that mean time I had learned whether or not you woro mnrrled that night." I do not prorcss that I rend nil that was In her race ns bIio stopped back toward the satin curtains and swept mo tho most graccrul courtesy I had over seen In nil my lire. I relt llko reaching out a hand to restrain her. Then I recalled my mission; and I lememberod what Mr. Calhoun and Dr. Wnrd had said. I was not a ninn; I was a government agent. She was not a woman; bIio was my opponent. Yet, but then Slowly I turned to tho opposlto sldo or this long central room. There wero ourtnlns hero also. I drew them, but ns I did so I glanced back. Again, ns on that earlier night, I snw her race framed In the amber folds a faco laughing, mocking. With an exclama tion or discontent, I threw down my henvy pistol on tho lloor, cast my coat across tho foot of tho bed to pro vent the delicate covering from be ing soiled by my boots, nnd so rested without further disrobing. In tho opposlto apaitmout I could hear her moving about, humming to herself somo air as unconcernedly as though no such being as myself exist ed In tho world. I henrd hor present ly accost her servant, who enteted through some passage not visible from tho central apartments. Then with out concenlment there seemed to go forward the ordinary routine of madnin's toilet for tho ovenlng. At last she called out to me: "Mon sieur!" I was at my own curtains at once, but hers remained tight folded, al though I heard hor voice close behind them. Th blen?" I answered. "It Is nothing, except I would say that If monsieur feels especially grave IM UH I " l"" IIJIWII.M Mll'l. I and reverent, ho will find a very com fortable prle-dleu at tho foot of tho bed." "I thank you," I replied, gravely as I could. "And thoro Is a very excellent rosary and crucifix on tho table just beyond!" "I thank you," I leplied, steadily as I could. "And there Is an Kngllsh Rook of Common Prayer upon the stand not far rrom the head or tho bod, upon this side!" "A thousand thanks, my very good rrlend." I heard a smothered laugh beyond the amber curtains. Presently sho spoko again, yawning, as 1 rancled, rntlior contentedly. "A la bonne heure, monsieur!" "A la bonne heure, madam!" CHAPTER XVI.

In these singular surround ings I round myseir not wholly trail mil. ... At last toward morning, I must havo slept. It was somo time arter daybreak when I relt a hand upon my shoulder ns I lay still partly clad. Awakened suddenly, I aroso and almost overthrow old Threlka, who stood regarding mo with no ex pression whatever upon her brown nnd wrinkled countenance. Sho did no nioro than point tho way to a door, whero presently I round n bath-room, and so refreshed myself and mnde tho host toilet posslblo under the circum stances. My hostess I found awaiting 1110 In the central room or tho apartments. Sho was clad now In a girdled peig noir or rich rose-color, tho sleeves, wide nnd full, falling back from her round arms. Her dark hair was coiled and piled high on hor head this morn ing, regardless of current mode, and confined In .1 heavy twist by a tall golden comb; so that her white nock was left uncovered. Tho llttlo table In tho center of tho room was already spread. Madam filled my cup from tho steaming urn with not the slightest awkwardness, as sho nodded for mo to bo seated. We looked at each other, and, as I may swear, wo both broke into sav ing laughter. "I was saying," she remarked pres ently, "that I would not havo you think thnt I do not appreciate tho suf rerlng In which you wero plunged by tho haste you round necessnry in tho wedding of your jeuno lllle." Rut I was on my guard. "At least, I mny thank you for your sympathy, madam!" I replied. "Yet In time," sho wont on, gone reflective the next Instant, "you will seo how very unimportant is all this turmoil of love and marriage. That torcli of lire!" she mused. "Seo! It was only that which you woro so eager to pass on to another genera tion! That was why you wero so mad to hasten to the side or thnt woman. Whereas," she mused still, "it wero so much grander and so much nobler to pass on the torch of a principle as well!" "Do not philosophize with me," I said. "I am already distracted by tho puzzle you offer to me. You uro so young and beautiful, so ralr In your judgment, so kind " "Iu turn, I ask you not to rollow that," sho remarked coldly. "Let us talk of what you call, I think, busi ness." "My dear lady," 1 began, "my rela tion to the affairs of tlio American republic Is 11 very humble one. I am no minister of state, and I know you deal with ministers direct. How, then, shall 1 gain your friendship for my country? You aro dangerous to havo for an enemy. Are you too high priced to have for n friend for a friend to our union a friend or tho principle or democracy? Como now, you enjoy large questions. Tell me, what does this council mean regard ing Oregon? Is It true that England plans now to concentrate all hor traders, all her troops, and rorco them west up the Saskatchewan nnd Into Oregon this coining senson? Come, now, madam, Is it to bo war?" Her curved lips broke Into a smllo that showed again her smnll white teeth. "Wero you, then, married?" sho snld. I only went on, Impatient, "Any moment may menu everything to us. I should not ask these questions if 1 did not know that you wero closo to Mr. Calhoun." Sho looked 1110 square In tho eye nnd nodded her head slowly. "I may say this much, monsieur, thnt it has pleased me to gain a llttlo further In formation ' "You will glvo my government that Information?" "Why should I?" (TO Ufi CONTINUED.)

In ray work as a nurse, many skin dlsonso cases camo under my observation, nnd in every In stance I nlwnys recommendod tho Cutlcura Remedies as they always gavo cntlro satisfaction.
