CHAPTER XIII. The Cat Is Away. OBIN'S face waw glowing -with (xcitement. lln put hi.s h.-indrf in his trou.'^ers poclcets and nervously jlngli'il the coins therein, all the while regarding hi,s minister of police with speculative eye.s.
At last Robin, wiihoiu speaking, im¬ pulsively held tho letter out to the baron, who strode across the room and took it from his hand. Without a ¦word he extracted tho single sheet ot paper and read what was writtim thereon:
"My motor will call for you at 3 this aft- emoori. und we will run out to St. Cloud for tea, at the Pavillnn hleu. -Mrs. GnKton is ¦pending the day with rel.atlvos at Uham- plgny, and we may as well he mtce under tho clrcumstancfs. If you hjive anuther engaRpment inay do not let It interfere with the pleasure I n:n seeking."
"Nothing could be more exacting, my dear prince. She signs herself 'B. Guile,' and I am sure she is magnifi¬ cently beguiling, if you will pardon tho play on words."
"It's a jolly little adventure," was all that Robin would say.
The baron was thoughtful. "There is something behind this e.xtraordinary behavior on the part of a lady gen¬ erally accredited with sense and re¬ finement," said he after a moment. "I think I have it too. She is deliberately putting you to a rather severe test." "Tost? 'U'hat do you mean?" "She is trying you out, sir. Mi;;: Guile, or possibly Miss Blithers—i:- taking a genuine risk in order to de¬ termine whether you are a real gentle¬ man or only a make believe. She i.; taking a chance with you. You maj call it a jolly little adventure, but I call it the acid test."
Robin laughed. "Thank you, bar>/;. Forewarned is forearmed. I shall v main a gcnilcnian at any cost."
At 3 o'clock a big limousine swuiiu- under the porte cochere at the Ritz and a nimbh^ footman hopped down and entered the hotel. Robin was waiting just inside the doors. "For Mr. Schmidt?" he inquired. "Oui, m'sieur."
Thrilled by a pleasurable sense of excitement, the Prince of Graustark entered file car.
A delicate perfume lingered in the machine, convincing proof that Miss Guile had left it biit a few minutes be¬ fore it.s arrival at his hotel. As a mat¬ ter of fact, she was nearer than he thought, for the car whirled into the Rue do la Paix and stopped at the curb not more than a hundred yards from the Place V'endome.
Once more the nimble footman hop¬ ped down and threw open the door. A slender, swift moving figure in a blu<' linen gown and a wide hat, from which sprang t-wo gorgeous blue plumes, emerged from the door of a diamond merchant's shop, and, before Robin could move from his corner, popped inlo the car and sat down be¬ side him with a nervous little laugh en her lips—red lips that showed rosi-- like and tempting behind a thick chif¬ fon veil, obviously donned for an ex¬ cellent reason. The exquisite features of Miss Guile were barely distinguish¬ able beneath the surface of this filmy barrier. The door closed shariily and, almost before the prince had recov¬ ered from his surprise, the car glided off in the direction of the Place de rOpera. 	
'Isn't it just like an elopement?" cried Miss C jile.
"Is it really .\ou?" cried Robin, and le was surprised to find that his own raice trembled.
"Oh," she said, with a sudden diffl- Jence, "how do you do? What must rou think of me, bouncing in like that ind never once speaking to you?"
"I think that you are frightened al- nost out of your boots," said he Joldly.
"No, I'm not," said she resolutely. "I im only conscious of feeling extreme- y foolish."
"I shouldn't feel that way about stealing off for a cup of tea," said he. 'It's all quite regular, you know, and s frequently done in the very best cir- ties when the cat's away."
"You ""e, I couldn't quite scrape up
the courage to go directly to the hotel
for yen," she said.    "I know several
peoplT who are stopping there, and I—
11—well, you won't think Im a dread-
I ful person, will you?"
"Not at all," ho declared promptly. Then he resolved to put one of the Questions he had made up his mind to ask at the first opportunity. "Do you mind telling me why you abandoned me so completely, so heartlessly, on the day we landed?"
"Because there was no reason why I should act otherwise, Mr. Schmidt," she said, the tremor gone from her voice.
"And yet you take me to St. Cloud for tea," he said pointedly.
"Ah, but no one is to know of this," she cried warmly. "This is a secret, a very secret adventure.''
He   could   not   help   staring.     "And that is just why I am mystified.   Why is today so very different from yester i day?"
"It isn't," she said. "Doesn't all this prove it?"
He suddenly remembered the baron's shrewd conjecture and let the oppor¬ tunity to say something banal go by without a word. Perhaps it was a test, after all. •
"There are many things I want to speak about, Mr. Schmidt, and—and you know how impossible It is to—to get a moment to oneself when one is being watched like a child, as 1 am be¬ ing watched over by dear Mrs. Gas¬ ton.   You will understand, won't you?"
"Pray do not distress yourself. Miss Guile," he protested. "The last word is spoken. I am too happy to spoil tbe day by doubting its integrity.
As the the car turned into the Bou¬ levard des Capucines Robin suppress¬ ed an exclamation of annoyance on be¬ holding Baron Gourou and Dank standing on the curb almost within arm's length of the car as It passed. Th(> former was peering rather In¬ tently at  the two  men on  the front
occtL ami enncea miie or no mierest in the occii]iants of th(! piisslii^ ton- nenu.
"Wasn't Ihat your friend Mr. Dan!-"" inquired JIIss Guile with ini'^re^ felt that she was chiding him.
"Yes," said he, nnd then turned tor another look nt his compatriots Gou¬ rou was jotting ,something down on his cuff band. The prince mentally pronflsed him soniothing for his pains. "But let us leave dull caro behind," he went on gayly "Won't you be good enough lo take I off that veil? It seriously obstructs the view,"
She complacently shook her head. "It doesn't obstruct mine," she said "Have you been reading what the pa¬ pers are saying about your friend Mr Hlitlicrs iuid his obstreperous daugh¬ ter. Mnttd'.'"
Robin caught his breath.    In a flash he suspected an excellent reason for keeping  the  veil  in  pla'-f..    He could I now se(,' th.'it it L'avo her a distinct ad I v;intiig(- over him
"Yes. I see that she positively de¬ nies tho whole business."
"Likewise the prospective spouse," she added.   "Isn't it sickening?"
"By the way, it is reported that she crossed on the steamer ¦with us."
"I am quite certain that she did, Mr Schmidt," said she.
"You really tiiink so?" he cried, re¬ garding her keenly.
"The man who came to meet me kno'ivH her quite well, ite is confident that he saw her at Cherbourg."
"I see," said he, and was thoroughly convinced. "I may as well confess t.i you. Miss Guile, that I also know her when I see her."
"But you told me positively that you had never seen her, Mr. Schmidt," she said quickly.
"I h;id not seen her up to the second day out on the Jupiter," he explained, enjoying himself immensely. "It was after that that you"— "I know," he said, as she hesitated, "but you see I didn't know she was Miss Blithers until sometime after I had met you." There wa.s a challenge in his manner amounting almost to a declaration.
She leaned forward to regard him more intently.
"Is it possible, Mr. Schmidt, that you :iuspect mo of being that horrid, vul¬ var creature ?"
Robin was not to be trapped. There was something in the shadowy eyes that warned him.
"At least I may say that I do not suspect you of being a horrid, vulgar creature," he said evasively.
"Y'ou haven't answered my questior Mr. Schmidt."
"Well," he began &!¦ suspect you of boine K "But Vf "I was ! lation, thal'o aii. Il i. lieved fht* Ml=s Blithe; an  ^ —llterai!.v,  n^i  lis-

"l:^ tiiere any reason why you shou! ¦ imagine that my name is not Guile?" "Yes.   Your luggage is resplondenll marked with the second letter in th alphabet—a gory, crimson B." |
"I see," she said reflfctively.    "You e.xamined my luggage, as they say in the customs oDlce.    .\nd you couldn't put B and G together, is that it?" "Obviously."
"If you had taken the trouble to look you would have found an equall? resplendent G on the opposite end o" each and every trunk, Mr. Schmidt," she said quietly.

Which Do You Prefer?
It is important for reasons of health and practical economy for every housekeeper to ask herself this question:
¦' Do I prefer a pure baking powder like Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from grapes, or am I 'willing to use a baking powder made of alum or phosphate, both derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed on the label show whether the kind you are now using or any brand., new or old, that may be offered is a genuine cream of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate or alum compound.
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum nor phosphate.

protested, "it really isn't fair to Miss Blithers. She was justified in follow¬ ing ao illustrious example. You for¬ get that the Prince of (rraustark was the first to rush into print with a flat denial. Wliiit else could the poor girl do?"
"Oh, 1 am not dCi. ni'ing ihe Prince ot Graustark. He behaved abomi¬ nably, rushing into print, as you say. E.xtremely bad taste, I should call it. Still, I would be willing to make a small wager that the well advertised match comes off iu spite of all the denials. Given a determined father, an ambitious mother, a purse filled daugh¬ ter and an empty purseil nobleman. and I don't see how tha ine .Mble can be avoided."
Robin's face was fiaming. It was with difficulty that he restrained the impulse to pui her riijht in the mat¬ ter without further ado.
"By ihe way, what would you have done had you been placHl in her po¬ sition?"
"I think I should have acted quite as iiuiependently as she." .
