"I think, Pamel had better 'come before you leave."

Mrs. Hastings greeted Pamels and her escort without enthusigsm, "My dear 'child,"' she' exclaimed, extraordinary to find you here!" "Is it?" Pamela observed indifferently. "You know Mr. Lutchester, don't you, aunt?" . Mrs. Hastings remembered her late dinner guest, but her recognition was icy and barely polite. She turned away at once and resumed her conversation with Fischer, Lut- {chester was not introduced to either of the other members of the party, He laid his hand on the bsck of an empty chair and turned it round for Pamela, but she stopped him with » word of thanks. Something had ne from her own naturally pleasant tone. 'She held her hand higher, even, than her sunt's, as she turned w little insistently towards her. - "So sorry, aunt," she announced, "but we are going now. Good night!" Mrs. Hastings disspproved. "We have seen nothing of you yet, Pam- elu," the auid stiffly. "You had ' better stay with us and we will drop you on our way home." ~ Pamela shook her head. "Tam coming with you tomorrow, you jknow," she reminded her aunt, "Tonight |T am Mr. Lutchester's guest und he will see me home." Mm. Hastings drew her niece s Jlittle closer to. her.

Mrs. Hue tings took the opportunity to try and induce Pamela to converse with Fischer "We night, Fincher has 4 other side." Pamela was primed for combat Has Mr. Fischer been telling you fairy tales' she "Taughed. "Funry: tales?" her aunt, repeated severe- ly, "don't understand." Fischer's steel grey eyes flashed behind his spectacles "T'm afraid that Miss Van Tey!'s preju- dices,' he observed bitterly, "are very firm- ly fixed." "Then she is no true American," Hustings pronounced didsctically. "Oh, T cam asture you that Tam not prejudiced," Pamels declured, "only, you see, I, too, have just arrived from the other side, und I have been uble to use my eyes and' judgment, If there is any prejudice in the matter, why should it not come from Mr, Fischer?

I cannot Jauy us much for the English people who Vare living over here. And as to fairy stories Pamela intervened, turning towards Fis- cher with a little laugh. "Oh, he can't even deny those! What about the great German victory in the North Sea, Mr. Fischer? Do you happen to have seen the latest telegrams?" "Our first reports were perhaps a little joo glowing," Mr. Fischer acknowledged. "That, under the circumstances, is, I think, only natural, But the facts remain that the invincible English and the untried Ger- man fleets have met, to the 'advantage of the Germai - Pamela shook her head. cannot even allow that,' she ob- jected.

No, Mr. Fischer! Between 'ourselves, I think that your cause needs 'a few fairy stories, and I look upon you as one of the greatest experts in the world when it comes to concocting them." Fischer, who' had risen to his feet half way through Pamela's speech, was obvious- ly a little: taken back by her direct attack. Mrs, Hastings took no pains to conceal her annoyance. "For a young girl of your age, Pamela," she suid sternly, 'I consider that you express your opinions far too freely. Your attitude, too, is unjustifisble."" "Ab, 'well, you eee, I am a little preju- diced against Mr. Fischer," Pamela laugh- ed turning towards him. "He happened to defeat one of my pet schemes." "But'I am ready to further your dearest one,"' he reminded her, dropping his voice, and ledding her a little to one side. "What about our alliance?" "You scarcely need my aid," she observ- ed, with a shrug of the shoulders. He 'remonstrated vigorously. There was a revived hopefulneass in his tone.
