Karovsky hastened to open the door for her. and boxmd low as she swept out of the room. 2 ‘ M. Karovsky was a tall, well-built man. to all appearance some few years over thirty in point of age. His short black hair was parted carefully down the middle; his black eyes: were at once piercing and brilliant; he had a long and rather thin face, a longish nose, 8. mobile and flexible mouth. and apar- ticularly fine arrangement of teeth. He wore neither beard nor moustache. and his complexion had the faint yel- low tint of antique ivory. He was not especially handsome; but there was something striking and out of the com- mon in his appearance. so that people who were introduced to him casually in society wanted to know more about him. An enigma is not without its attractions for many people, and Karâ€" ovsky had the air of being one whether he was so in reality or not. He was a born linguist, as so many of'his coun- trymen are. and spoke the chief Europ- ean languages with almost equal flu- ency and equal purity of accent. “That, man is the be and Gerald knows it,’ wife's unspoken thong two together. “Fortune has been kind to you. my friend. in finding for you. so charming a. wife." he said; as he lounged across the room with his hands in his pockets. after closing the door behind Mrs Brooke._ ‘Bun Fortune has been kmd Lo ygu m more ways than one.:’_ ,- A... “Karovsky, you have something to tell me," said Brooke a. little grimly. "You did not come here to pay com- pliments, nor without a motive. But Will you not be seated 2" Karovsky drew up a. chair. “As you sayâ€"I am not here without a. motive.” he remarked. Then. with a. quick ex- pressive gesture. which was altogeth- er un-Engliah, ue added: "Ah, bah!

He got up.
