"So like a play," she mused, "so like many in which I have taken part." Ah, if madame could have: sat beside Mephisto Follet as he rode in his rich limousine down the r mountain -- and read what went on in his. dark mind, she would played in any piece so starkly, ter- ribly real as this; if she could have been transported to far-off Eng- land and there "stationed on a blitzed quay to watch the embark- ation of a group of prisoners, for- mer members of the Luftwaffe, to see one tall youth among them -- ah, then .she would have known that here was no gay light comedy, no Chocolate Soldier or = pretty pastime cut fiom cardboard! But she could see none of these things. She went to her room and sat in her big clair and dreamed happily over a cigarette until she heard the light voices, the muffled laughter "of the little ones in the hall. * x =» They came into madame's sitting room quietly, the young Goujons seeming all eyes, "Ah, we shall have a gay party, my little ones! Never before have I entertained such lovely and ap- preciative guests, and I have never before been so honored. Did you have a good game on the lawn?" "We taught Emil «nd Magda how to play Bonhomme * Fricot," said Pol Martin.' "He did not want to play being the soldier who came down out of the sky in his parachute and marched up to Bonhomme Fricot's door and killed him." "It was not good," said Emil "But since this was only make- believe I did not mind after a while, But I would not like to shoot an old man." "Eh, well," said madame, "we shall soon find more cheerful games for you to play. We shall have a great many other children here as your companions, and we'll find amusements that will help you, when you grow up, to be strong men and good women." * * * Gesner, the new butler, aided by Corinne, came into the room push- ing a tea wagon whose little wheels were surely built of the best oak, such a mighty load of good things did they have to bear -- ice cream of red, green and orange coloss, brighter than any rainbow; eclairs and pates and tall glasses of le- monade and fruit salads that looked like a picture and bonbons and meringues glaces and a dozen other .trifles of which the old lady was as fond ag.any child could be, "Oh!" said the little Goujons, their eyes growing even wider, their hands moving involuntarily, and Pol Martin's eyes sparkled. Only Rosine, -who had stood up to let Gesner move her cushion, made no sound, gave no sign of rapture. She stood close to madame's tall A, LOUIS ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM have realized that she had never. dresser and she was staring up at the picture partly pushed aside and almost hidden by madame's black Jace reticule -- a photograph of a laughing fellow, framed in chrome. And Rosine's eyes held shock and vonderment and terror and ther lips opened as if she would cry out. * x 0% " "You are rot ill, child?" Madame had noticed how much slower than the others Kosine was emptying Ler plateg"Ah, perhaps you do not like my party?" "Oh, but I do, Madame Laurin, 1 do indeed. I love this party. It is only that I do not -- that I was thinking--" "Now, child, you must-not think when all this good food is before you. Eat up now. Afterwards you can think all you want. to. There is nothing bothering you?" "No -- no, madame, It is noth- ing -- nothing at all." Roger 'and Meridel came then and Rosine ran to her cousin and clung to her and hid __ her face against the pink jersey. "Ah, you have eaten too much, Rosine. -You have the stomach- ache. It is no wonder." "No, no, Meridel. I have not eaten too much. I am not ill. I could not eat. There is--" she stopped and looked about her. Meridel's hand smoothed her hair. "1 am sure it is nothing. Come! You will sit with Roger and me and see that we do nou eat too much. Madame Laurin, you will spoil them with so many good things." * 4k Madame, her mouth full of eclair, looked sharply at Rosine. "You look as if you had seen a ghost here. Have some ice cream now -- some green ice cream. I'm sure that is the kind you like." "If you please, madame. I am sorry, madame. 1 do like your party. It is zll so lovely?" "I shall always remember it," said Pol Martin sturdily, and the little Goujons nodded their heads, which was about all they were able to do, having stowed away a truly marvelous amount of food. Madame, Meridel and Rudolph sat for a while on the porch. Pol Martin and Rosine slipped up the stairs, hand in hand, to the wing of the hguse where madame had her rooms. The door was ajar. "I do not like to go in, Rosine. Suppose Madame Laurin or Uncle Rudi or Meridel were to find us-- what would they think? And what * ghould we say to them?" "I do not know. But you must come, Pol Martin, You must see it. Maybe I am wrong. But you must see this picture." "But of whom is it a picture? Someone, you say, whom I am supposed to know. But who could that be? I know so few in this country." "You must see it. On the dress- er, in a bright frame. You will know--" _ "Come then! Quickly!
