"With the most dangerous suitor.
Who Is ho?"
"Well," replied PopofF confidentially,
"Pvo had my eye on her, and it seems
i to mo that He Jolidon"—
"He Jolidon r exclaimed I>anilo.
’'Impossible!"
"Why Impossible, pray? I think 1

put In Nish, shuttling nervously, "1
think I could tell you »»f a ’single’ thing,
or, rather." he added, chuck Hug, "whou
I say ’single’ I menu 'married.*"
"Mr. Nish," Interrupted Popoff, "if
you can stop wriggling around like on
Inebriated ccutl|>ed long enough to
tnlk plainly, will you do mo the honor
to put your hlltherlugs Into plain
words?"
“Well, your excellency," stammered
••Nish,** observed the prince, "do you
suppose It's possible IK* Jolldon inn 1m*
In love with Mine. "Nova Kovltch a**
well ns with Mine. I'opofTV*’
"I'd I’d like (o think so,” murmured
Nish ns he started fulthrully off In the
wuke of his chief. "I’d like to think so.
It-It would make It less exclusive,
less of n uiono|K>ly. And to think hla
excellency never recognl?<>d his own
wife’s fan! Where Ignorance Is bliss
why read up ou d I tons* laws?"
Laying the fan on n nearby table,
Hsidlo was turning away when n voice
behind him culled mockingly:
"Still In retreat? So you are afraid
of me!*’
Whirling about, the prince faced
SouIm. She was Ucwttchlugly pretty In
the black AO«l gold Marsovhiu dress
that snowed to fullest advantage every
willowy Hue of her figure
"I’m not retreatlug,” lie contradicted,
"only skirmishing In light cavalry
fushlon.”
“And you are going away like flint?
Oh. you stupid man!”
![ .

by the ilrst train forever!”
"Then you won’t 1k» here, nfter nil, to
(lance at uiy wedding?”
"Nor
"ltut you iiromlocd. And now. I imp
|H»ne, 1 shall never see you agnln, for
when I’m married I shall live lu Paris."
“I thought you were more patriotic,’’
he sighed. "It rcciun hard that you
should turn your back on your native
land, marry a Frenchman and settle
here.”
"Yet It Is what 1 havo decided.” she
answered. "This Is probably the last
time I shall wear our native costume
or dance our wild national dances. To
day’s fete Is a sort of farewell to old
times.”
“No; our dances and costumes would
not nppeul to a Frenchman. Who Is
It you nre going to marry?”
“The engagement. Isn’t announced
yet," she evaded.
“Then,” he returned, with a shrug.
”1 sii|)pn*c i shall never know*, for 1
leave early tomorrow.”
ALL HER MARSOVIAN GUESTS WORE THEIR PICTURESQUE NATIVE COSTUMES.
Nish, "I happen to know M. do Joll
don Ih already bend over heels in love
with a lady who tins a husband. He”—
"Mr. Nish," thundered PopofT, "you
nro demeaning yourself to the con
temptible act of tnlking scandal! Are
you aware of that. Mr. Nish? If so,
go on talking It and tell uie who she
Is."
"You fool!" whispered Dnnllo In
Nish's ear. "Everybody hut the am
bassador himself knows It Is Mme.
Popoff whom De Jolldon loves. lie
cnrefoir
“Well, Mr. Nish,” repented Popoff
majestically ns ho eyed the s«|u1rmlng
clerk with lofty majesty, "Pm wait
ing to hear the name of the ludy that
De Jolldon Is In love with.”
“Ho—ho neglected to tell me, your
excellency,” sputtered Nish.
"Then," decided the ambassador, *i
shall discover her by diplomatic means,
and when I And who she is she shall
use her Influence to Jure Do Jolldon
away from the widow. Prince, will
you ^10 Ip me In this?”
"J^oove It all to me," suggested I>a
nllo, with startling willingness. "Don’t
try to learn her Identify yourself. I Ant
mo attend to the whole matter."
"All right,” consented Popoff. ‘it
will be a good lesson in diplomacy for
you. Perhaps 1 can put you on the
right track ”
The ambassador drew an Ivory fan
from hlg pocket.
"bast night at the embassy hall,"
said he, "Nova Kovltch, who used to
he one of my attaches, brought me
this. He was crazy with Jealousy.
He’d Just picked up the fan; ssI<1 It
wns his wife's and that some man hud
written i love you* on one of the
stleks. He was going home to beat his
wife and make her confess who the
villain was when 1 persuaded my wife
■ to save poor Mme. Nova Kositeh by
pretending the fun wns her own. Ah,
hut my wlfo Is a tiorn diplomatist!
Nova Kovltch wns convinced, and I
pocketed the fan for future reference."
Dnnllo took the trinket from PopofT*
hands and read the iiencthsl Inscrip
tion.
"Why," he said on Impulse, "this Is
I>e Jolldon's handwriting! How does It
: happen that he’’—
"Then," squealed Popoff In triumph,
”jt Is Mme. Nova Kovltch he loves.
The whole thing Is absurdly simple
when s brain like mine Is brought to
bear on It!"
Delighted with his own astuteness,
the ambassador pattered off to Join the
other guests, leaving Dnnllo. fan In
I hand, blankly facing the astounded lit
tle Clerk.
“I can’t toll whut you mean,” he un
nwered, puzzled.
“And I shan't tell what I menu," Hhe
rejoined. “Hy the way,” she added,
"how do you happen to t>e here? You
i declined my Invitation.”
"I’m here,” he repli<*d bluntly, "be

feigns of proposing to you.”
"But WhyV” Bbo asked In wonder.
“For my own amusement; that’s all.”
“You- you don’t happen to bo In love
ivltli me yourselfV" she naked, a tinge
of w 1st fill uchm In the light mockery of
j hef tone.
"Certainly not!” he retorted, with
suspicious promptitude.
"You’re very, very rude!” she re
proved. "Hut since you don't love me
you ought to Is* able to give me good
advice about accepting a man I really
want to inurry."
"Oh!” growled Danllo, chagrined.
| "Then there Is some one you want to
marry?”
Hhe nodded.
“Whoever tlie man Is, ho's after
your money,” he sneered.
"No,” sis? contradicted. “Ho Is not
not tills one.”
"You said all men wore alike.”
"This man Is different lie loves me.”
“Then marry him! What Is it t<> me?
Mnrry sny one you want to. I don’t
care. And I'll dance at your wedding
I’ll dame till I wear holes through
1 both my shoes."
“You silly boy!" she scoffed. “You’re
Jealous!”
“Jealous?" be raged. "Jealous? I
Jealous? That's a good one!”
Words failed him, and he stalked
away to n nearby summer house,
when- he paused, hist In seeming con
temptation of the little building * archi
tecture.
The neglected fan lying op the table
r-anght Honla's eye. Hhe picked It up
Idly and opened It. The words "I love
yon” met her gaze. Quickly she glanced
at Iranilo.
"I understand," she murmured to
herself. "He vowed he'd never sny It
to me, so he’s written It.”
Xotlng that Tmnllo's hnrk was to
ward her, She furtively lifted the fan
to her lips and klsm-d the written
words. Then ns she restored It to the
tsble she whlsjiered;
"Just the same. I'll make him say
It. He shallT’
Hhe erossed to where he stood
"Hare you nothing to say to me,
prince?" she asked
"Only one thing goodby!”
"Hood by!" sb»- echoed. “You're—
you’re not going?”
“And >oil won't dunce at my wed
ding?"
"I’ve told you I would not."
"If you won’t,” Bln* cried, a Hiiddcn
inspiration Hashing through her mind
and lighting her pah* face to dazzling
beauty, "dance with me now!”
Hhe stretclwd out her slender white
arms with an allurement that no mor*

Choice of n majority of the dele
