By-the-by, however, she began to look about her in search of further excitement, and, emboldened by success, turned the corner of the street, and ventured out of sight of the hotel.

"And I reckon," said Miss Gibbons, "that he told you he kept a respectable hotel. He may have put some frills on it, but that's close enough to go on, isn't it?" Rose nodded. In her relief at finding her situation so well understood, she was turning a little limp. "Why did you come to me?" Miss Gibbons demanded. "He never would have thought of sending you here."

Everywhere work is being actively pushed upon barricades that are already formidable. This time it is more than a riot, it is an insurrection. I return home. A soldier of the line, on sentry duty at the entrance to the Place Royale, is chatting amicably with the vedette of a barricade constructed twenty paces from him. At a quarter past eight M. Ernest Moreau returns from the Hotel de Ville.

Still holding her shoulders he said: "Do something for me to-night." "What is it? What do you want?" "Oh, only a very simple thing." She felt disappointed, but she said nothing. "Let us dine together to-night! Afterwards I will take you to your hotel and leave you to think." He smiled down at her. "I am no longer afraid to let you think. Will you come?" "Yes," she said.

I'll just tell you the last count to save time, and let it go at that. I'm a suffragist because I want the rest of mankind to have what we've had in Homeburg for the last twenty years or so.

Hassan drove out of the hotel alley into a chaos of horns, pedestrians who flirted with sudden death, wildly maneuvering cars, and donkey carts that always seemed on the verge of being hit by an accelerating truck.
