Tell his excellency I have come back," broke In a voice at the door. As s servant hurried off with the mesas ue the speaker waddled into the room. lie waa stout, ungainly little man, clad In the quaint national costume of Marsovla. Bald of head, popping of eye and with abnormally long red mustache, his was a personality to excite laughter la a mummy. The newcomer was Nlah, messenger and clerk of the embassy. At his approach Natalis and Do Jolldon slipped sway to the ballroom. A moment later a tall, lean, faaay man with hooked noae and mincing gait trotted down the stairway and into the salon. Well, Mr. Nish." he asked peevishly, did you find Prince Danllo at home? No, your excellency, faltered the little man. lle"-D- ld you go thence, as I told you, to I fancy It will be cheaper than filling him Sip. Ill do my best, your excellency." But the ambassador at a whispered word from a servant had already puttered out of the room as fast as his somewhat shaky old legs would carry him, and the voluble Nish ran along In hia wake.

Fopoff and Natalie came hurriedly in to pay their respects to the guest upon whom Maroovlaa hopes so depended. At a sign from the ambassador the others drew back. 80 you were shocking some of our Paris gallants? beamed the auibassa-doWhat a chlljl of nature you are. Yon mean, countered Sonia, that I am a peasant dressed up. How I wish sometimes that I were a real peasant again! Ah!" chuckled Popoff.

Then, nob ing her change of expression, he added with apprehension: I hope It waa not on one of hli wet days a chiming, lovable youngster In spite of me" I sin not Interested In hearing shoot him, broke in Sonia In curiously lefel, emotionless voice.

Down the stairway from the dressing rooms and into the salon swept a woman young, lieantlful, vivacious. A light of mischief danced In her great dark eyes. Her masses of auburn hair shone like an aureole above her rather pale, delicate face. About her hovered a half score of gallants, all vying for word, a look, from the beauty (and fortune) of the Paris season. Two men the Marquis of On scads and the Count de BL Brioche were lucky enough to claim for a moment please. or two her attention.
