CHAPTER VIII.
Harry felt that there was nothing
he could do which would gufilcienly
show his gratitude to the Count.
Everything was straightening out
nicely. To git rid of the Count would
be simple. As his German tutor,
what could be more natural than for
the Count to put on his hat and walk
away? And then there was the quick
manner In which the Count had ral
lied to his support Evidently, In
spite of his grievance, the Count was
a man who would not stand or sit
Idly by and see a fellow man suffer
because of a mistake, or a combina
tion of mistakes.
With a quiet wink to the Count,
Harry said to Lucy and her father:
"I want to take you around the
grounds a bit, now. Count von Kit
will excuse us, I know."
"Most certainly," the Count replied,
grandly, "t'nd I vill pursue my
studies."
Hut more noise was heard from the
hallway, and Harry flinched. He
could not lin.afrine what further trou
ble fate had In store for him. but he
had export need so much in this brief ;
time, and his nerves ere on such a
wire edge, that he knew any unusual !
noise meant trouWe, and any unusual !
silence might mean worse.
"What can it be?" Lucy asked In
alarm. 1
"Let us go and see," Medders said, j
They were saved the effort, for Car- j
olyn came running in. her eyes big 1
with alarm, and her face white with j
fright. She rushed to Harry and '
clung to him.
"Oh, Harry!" she cried. "That ter
rible old General!"
"Gott!" the Count exclaimed. tnn.
Ing toward the library. "He hass dis
covered me!"
"What is it Carolyn? What about
the General V asked Harry.
"There, there, my girl." soothed Mr.
Medders. "Calm thyself.".
"Do tell us what has frightened
thee," Lucy begged, taking Carolyn's
hand in hers and patting It
"General Biases." Carolyn said,
straightening herself up and catching
her breath. "General Biases is com
ing, and he swears he will do desper
ate things. Harry. Oh. I am so
afraid."
The deep voice of the General
boomed from the halt
"Where Is she?" he shouted.
"Where la she? t want my wife, I tell
you!"
He stormed Into the den and con
fronted them. He stalked on to Har-
tybrandlshing his cane. .
"Where is my wife?" he clamored.
"You scoundrel! Where is my wife?"
Harry waited until the General had
cm out of breath: this procedure also
al'owing him to collect his wits. Then
ho asked:
"Why, General, what In the world Is
wrotiR?"
"Everything's wrong! You're a scam
doundrel; I'm a fam dool! My wife
is a ticked wirt I mean a wicked
flirt!"
"It's comin?; in bunches." Harry
f-.o.vht to himself. He determined
that, even though tho General had
reason to believe his wife was in tho
I1011.se, ho would affect to misunder
stand him and thus disarm him.
"Why, General," he said, "you're
excited."
"You bft I'm excited!" the General
ye'.'ed, shaking his ,cane in the air,
while Lucy nnd Carolyn shuddered

Ve'lders, and the Count stood ready

to jump into the library if the fury
of tlie General should be directed at
him.
"You bet I'm excited. I'm as loozy
as a crane I mean crazy as a loon.
I want my wife, I tell you. Where li
she?"
"Well, General," Harry replied stir
fly, "I'm not running a guessing con
test you know."
"None of you nam donsense! You
know where my wife is."
Mr. Medders stepped forward with
bis hand raised to calm the General,
and, speaking to Harry, asked:
"Knowest thou aught of his wife,
Harry?"
"I don't know what can be the
matter with hint," Harry evaded.
The Count sidled toward the door
into the ball, saying meekly:
"I think I am going, now."
The General stopped him with a
flourish of hU rane, and shouted:
"You stay right here! You may
know srraethlng of this."
Lucy now found a chance to ask
something.
"What is it the man sayeth of thee,
Harry?" she asked.
Hefore Harry could reply to her the
General dciup tided:
"Has my wife been here today?"
"I can answer for him." Lucy re
plied, gently. "No strange woman
has been here."
The General looked puzzled. He
took off his hat. tucked his cane under
his arm, and mopped his brow.
"That's remarkable," he said. "My
wife telephoned from this house not
half an hour ago. They told me so at
the millinery store down the street
I stopped there to Inquire for her."
"They must have been mistaken,"
Harry said. "It Is just possible that
they had the number mixed. I dont
believe they even know who we are
here. We don't deal with them."
"Well, Harry." the General said,
slowly, looking from one to the other
of the faces before him, and realising
that he had been In error. "I'm sorry

about a wife yet Toull pardon me.
wont you?"
"Why, certainly, General," Harry
amM. grasping his outstretched hand.
"Let bygoaee be bygones aad all that
t know bow you feel I've been wor
ried eace or twice myself but not
about a wife."
"Well, ay boy, your time will
