"If you do not want me-" "Oh!" The sight of her distress unnerved him; his love was at his very lips. But he could not say anything without saying everything. When they reached the hotel it Was so late that he had no more than ‘time to make his train, and she less than time to dress for the Opera, which begins at seven in Vienna. So their good-by was a mere exchange of hearty promises to meet again, and a short hand-grip in the crowded hotel corridor. Mie LN .e NS aa) SS I (ON "I am Madame Miruma Janghir.

As she crept into her bed her heart was full of pity for her beloved, wrestling like another Jacob with a ghostly enemy, but her heart rejoiced, too, with a radiant happiness, since now her intuition told her that this, and no other cause or person, was the reason for his asperity with her. Also in Pest there is a Hotel Jebb woke there tol, and Bris- the next morning. He had not been long in Budapest before he learned that the Margit-Szigel was, as Miruma had imagined, an island-in English, fMargaret's Island. But, though it split the Danube, it lay so far to the north that he could not see it from his window. He took his breakfast at one of the coffee-houses on the promenade, one of the coffee-houses that have never closed since they first opened. It gave Jebb untold relief to find English the favorite language of the town, the affectation of the Magyar. He had not finished his breakfast when a man at the next table addressed him in a rather thick dialect and introduced himself as a fellow-American, though his name was unpronounceable, even when he handed Jebb his card with a legend like a line of pied type: Gyorgy Czeklesz.

After some desultory conversation Mr. Checkless rose with a: "‘Excoose, please. I got to go and hear de newspaper." ‘‘Hear "Sure. paper. the newspaper!" Ve got a telephone news- Ain't you heard him?

He dined with Checkless at the Hotel Bristol. When they had ordered dinner, Checkless went to telephone to the telephone-paper. He came back beaming: "A man has called up the paper and says he knows somet'ink. They give him this address and he comes here any minute."' At last a hotel servant brought a man who had asked for Jebb at the desk. Jebb asked Checkless to ask the man to sit down and feast. The stranger answered rather petulantly for himself: *"You are not Mr. English? Ain't many times?" Pogodin, 1 then."' ‘‘Me him? If I was I should yoomp into the Donan.
