Service Bending low be whispered Into Tommy's ear: 'I need scarcely say that your lord ship will be at no expense, none whatever." Then be turned and gave a series of orders In German to a subordinate who stood near. Tommy leaned back In his gilt chair and looked round. He saw at once that he had been given one of the very best tables In the room. Tt stood at the edge of a great square carpet which covered the center of the floor. On the carpet Itself there were no tables. But diners at tables of various sizes sat round it In parties of two or four or six. Behind the tables which stood on the edge of the carpet were others. Behind these still more and these were set on a sort of platform a step above the floor of the room. Farther back among pillars and under archways in what Tommy thought of as broad side aisles, were other places for still more diners. Gazing round curiously Tommy caught sight of a woman standing up at one of the farthest tables. She was waving her hand and signaling to him. At a second glance he recse ognized her Janet Church. In vere black dress, the only evening gown she took with her when trav eling, she looked much out of place In the Mascotte. Having attracted she began to Tommy's attention, cross the room toward him, evidently with the Intention of sitting down at his table. But this was not al lowed. The head waiter caught sight of her and gave an order to one of his men. Janet Church was stopped, turned round and conducted to the obscure and distant table which she had left. It would Interest me, though per one else, to know what Tom haps--nmy had to eat and drink that night. THE PRINCESS SYNOPSIS. In London the teller of th story of tha adventure of "Kin and Tommy" known hereafter as "Uncle Bill," la Informed by Lord Norheya. on of an old friend, that Lord Troyte. head of the British foreign office, Norheys' uncle, has a schema to make him (Norheys) kin of Lystrla, in central Europe, through marriage to Calypso, daughter of King- - Wladls-law- s, deposed monarch of that country. A financier, yrocoplua Cable, knows there Is oil In In Lystrla, and with an English king-- on the throne the output could be secured for England. Norheys, In love with a stage dancer, Viola Temple, Is enthusiastic over the propojot sition. Tha patriarch, Menelaus, highest ecclesiastical dignitary in Lystrla, is heartily in favor of the restoration of the monarchy, and Cable has generously financed the sentiment. Calypso Is mak," ing a living dancing In the Berlin cabaret. Norheys to refuses entertain the Idea of giving np Viola Temple, to whom he Is secretly engaged.

Janet Church leaves for Berlin. "Uncle Bill" is again appealed to by his sister to find a oertaln curate (name not given) who has left his parish in Ireland for a visit to Berlin, and cannot be found.

Tommy and Janet visit the Mascotte that evening. pro-fusl- "Mas-cotte- CHAPTER VIII o n 1,1 Continued In evening A small dapper man clothes came up to him and bowed. Tommy saw that thin gray hair was carefully brushed across a bald patch on top of his bead. He was by no means a young man. He had small twinkling eyes and a rounded paunch. But he bore himself with a certain dignity. Even when he was bowing low there was no sign of servility In bis manner. This was the head wait er of the Mascotte and he did Tom my high honor by granting him this personal reception. "Tour lordship's table Is reserved. one of our very best tables." He spoke with an excellent Eng lish accent. He waved his hand in the direction In which he wanted Tommy to go and then walked In front of him. There was no mistake bout the dignity of the man's bear ing. It was almost kingly. Just such bearing and manner as suited the head waiter of the Mascotte. Following the man's lead. Tommy passed between two lines of Inferior waiters, all bowing low. From tables to the right and left revelers looked him pass. They up and watched whispered to each other, inquiring who It could be who was received so Impressively by the head waiter and his staff. Tommy came at last to a small table set a little apart. The head waiter pulled back a large gilt chair. Tommy noticed a small card on a silver stand In the middle of the table. It bore his name, Norreys ; but not the Rev. T. A. Norreys. He was described on the card as the Markgraf von Norreys. It seemed to Tommy well worth while to be a Markgraf whatever a markgraf was If , the title secured so much consid eration and respect Tommy felt rather glad that Count Caslmir had niade his mistake. The bead waiter murmured conflflentially In Ms ear: "If your lordship will allow me to rder the dinner and choose the wine I assure you that I thoroughly un derstand wine." Ills English was perfect, far bet ter than Count Cstlmlr's and he spoke It with the Intonation and ac cent ft a gentleman. Tommy felt sure that tie might be trusted to order the very best food and wine obtainable In the Mascotte. Bat he had an un comfortable feeling that the bill for the entertainment might be startling. Ills pockets were fall of marks. ttaffed with them. But It might trunk full of marks very well lake to pay for the dinner which the aris rder. tocratic head waiter would grab Tommy hesitated and made t the mean. Intending to make rare mt the worst that could befall him. The bead waiter, a mil of quick ap-fraks-urlorn eased his tboajbU. t. --- - The Princess' Turn Was Evidently the Chief Performance of the Eve without surprising him very much. The princess turn was evidently the chief performance of the evening. Conversation ceased. Men sat down their glasses and leaned forward In their chairs. The music of the band sank to a soft rhythmical throbbing. A drum muttered softly. A girl In a dress shining with sequins stepped daintily down among the tables, stood In the middle of the carpet and curtsied low to Tommy. He could have sworn that It was to him alone that she curtsied, that she took no notice of any one else In the room. He also had an unpleasant Impression that she disliked, or per haps despised him, and only curtsied to him because she was forced to do it. The managers of the Mascotte, having secured the cervices of a real princess, made the most of her, and gave her every chance of making the most of herself. The higher lights were extinguished all over the room. Only the small shaded lamps on the diners' tables still burned. A bright beam from some hidden lamp fell on the princess and followed her wher ever she moved. The twitching of The the violin strings grew faster. players drew their bows across the strings and the music came loud and tempestuous. The girl on the carpet with the light on her looked younger, fresher, more beautiful than any of the others who had danced before r her. Unfortunately she could not dance. Her performance would scarcely have won applause In a second-rat- e theater. Her steps and attitudes were graceful enough but were easy There was no of accomplishment. kind of spirit or any delight In her dancing. Even Tommy, who knew realized nothing about the art, that this girl was greatly the Inferior of those who had gone before her. Her dancing meant noth ing, conveyed nothing except a feeling that she disliked doing it and despised the people she was doing it for. It seemed to Tommy that she was dancing specially for him and that she disliked and despised him more than she did the others. The music rose to a climax of sound. The dance came suddenly to an end. The lights blazed out again. The girl sank to the ground in a low curtsey with her skirts spread out round her. right In front of Tommy's table, within a couple of feet from him. There was a burst of applause. Men stood op and shouted. It was not the dancing they approved. Not a Jewess among them, not a slant- eyed Russian lady, not a profiteer, or even an American but knew per fectly well that the girl could not dance. Their applause was for themselves, not for her. It was the new rich proclaiming their triumph over the old aristocracy, over royalty Itself. Risen from the slime of the war period, they acclaimed themselves masters of the old order which was there, like Samson among the Phil istines, to make sport for them. The band blared Into a noisy march The girl remained crouched at Tommy's feet, flushed and panting, the fingers of her right hand twitching at the bodice of her dress. Suddenly she rose. With a quick nod and little motion of her hand she flicked a note across to Tommy. It fell on the plate In front of him. The girl, without glancing at him again, look ing neither to the right nor to the left, walked through the applauding people and disappeared. pet ning. Unfortunately, he can give me no account at all of his meal and does not know the name of the champagne be drank. Shortly after eleven o'clock Tom my discovered wmit the stretch or carpet in the middle of the room was for. The band, which had been playing some of the music of Tosca suddenly struck up a dance tune. Two girls appeared from a curtained re cess at the far end of the room, ran down among the tables, pirouetted In the middle of the carpet, and began to dance. Tommy had seen dancing before. on the stage at the Uayety theater In Dublin at the time of the Christmas pantomime. But this was a very There he viewed different thing. the dancers from a distance, with an orchestra and a row of footlights be tween him and them.

He could smell the scent from their clothes and see the hesvlng of their throats as they caught their breath And the music was far more excit ing than any he had ever heard. The waiter who attended him filled his glass with champagne. Tommy sipped It as he watched the dancers. Others took the places of the first two, dancing wildly, sometimes danc ing well.

H T FACTS SURFACE COOLER IS BEST FOR COOLING - Prompt cooling to 60 degrees Fahrenheit is absolutely essential for producing milk of low bacteria count, warns F. C Button, professor of dairying at the New Jersey College of Agriculture in New Brunswick. The quickest and therefore best way of cooling milk is to run it over a surface cooler. On such a cooler the milk passes over the outside surface In a thin layer. Cold water Is circu lated through the Inside and thus chills the milk. By this means the of the milk can be temperature brought within two or three degrees of the temperature of the water. Ice water will be needed in hot weather to bring milk to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Morning's milk should be cooled to at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Night's milk may, however, be cooled within two or three degrees of the temperature of spring or well water, since it Is afterward placed in the cooling tank where further chilling can take place. The water in this vat should not be above 45 degrees. After milk has been cooled by a surface cooler It can be held at 50 degrees Fahrenheit by placing In the vat two to two and a half pounds of ice for every gallon of milk. If the milk Is not before being placed In the vat, four pounds or more of Ice are needed to cool each gallon of milk. will cut In half the This amount of Ice required In the tank. milk pails and The use of small-to- p and the clean, sterilized utensHs, milking of clean, healthy cows help to keep bacteria out of milk.

Rutabagas and turnips do affect the quality of milk, and especially if fed Just before milking. If they are fed after milking.
