PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. w "a M, A WOMAN. OF WILES. vw A Story of Hearts and Diamonds. 1 ■ ■ 11 ■ 0 By ALICK MUNRO. [COPYRIGHT.] CHAPTER XIV. "LES DEUX CHATS." No I hadn't heard it. Five minutes ago I was being refused by the girl I loved. I had no ear for such trifles as carriage-wheels. The servant asked whether there was anything eise that the senhor wished. I said no, and then hesitated, and called her back. Should I ask to see Neenah again? But it would be useless, since a repetition of the charge of insult was all that I was likely to gain. I had stood that when it was accompanied by sobs and distress; but I couldn't stand to have it repeated coldly, and, perhaps, with a quiet disdain. Besides, in any case, she wouldn't come. "My hat, please," I said. The servant brought it. I followed her to the door, and left the houee, fuming. Now a lover who has just been rejected by the girl he loves is popularly supposed to let his mind wander among thoughts of watery graves, and prussic add, and verdicts of "suicide during a fit of temporary insanity, brought on by a disappointment in love." But I don't believe he does. In nine cases out of ten, he does just what I did; he loses his. temper. What business—confound her!—had Hetty to say anything about me to Neenah? There was one curious thing: that little burst of what she called foolish honesty. At the moment she seemed genuinely to wish me well in my wooing, and yet five minutes after- wards she had played me a nasty trick-ø. trick. moreover, which stultified -her own advice to me about asking Neenah to marry me. She was in earnest when she told me to do that. and I don't think she was lying either when she told me also that she liked me a little. Well, the night before she had tried to mur- der me! "I really believe." I said aloud, and came to a dead stop in the middle of the pavement to say it, "that every woman is a mixture of angel and devil, and the treatment she gives you just depends upon which ingredient hap- pens to be uppermost for the moment." "Quite eo!" said Bloxham's langhing voice behind mo; "but you needn't block up the whole pavement, you know. Who's been hit- ting yo*. old man? You look glum." "I am," I explained, as I took his arm, "merely philosophising. You caught one of the pearls of philosophy which fell from my lips. Think of your own female acquain- tances. and say, if you dare, that I'm' not right." Bloxham shot a side-look at me, remarking: "Don't the proportions of the mixture connt for something? Now Neenah Monct'iefi' I "Is nearly all angel; nearly, not quite! No. confound it, not quite all angel!" "And Mrs. Wcdderbnrn-" Bloxham began again. "Is nearly all devil," I finished for him. "Then," said Bloxham confidently, "it is Mrs. Wedderburj who has been hitting you." "Both of them," I said. "Come and have a peg. and I'll teU you." We were passing the Oafe Tavarca at the moment. I took Bloxham in, and over a kum- mel and cognac gave him my diary for the last twenty-four hours. Also I told him about the diamonds and other things. Now it will be pointed out to me that last night, on the road from Cascaes to Lisbon, I had shirked telling him anything; and my reason bad been that I feared him as a. pos- sible rival. Why. then, did I tell him now, since nothing was altered between Neenah and him? Simply because things were so com- pletely altered between Neenah and me that I no longer feared Bloxham. You don't under- st. id this; you say that, since Neenah had refused me, and had really perhaps treated me rather badly-ah, but can't you see? Are a woman's tears, then, to count for nothing in the index of where her interest lies? Bloxham was indignant, and wanted to be energetic. He had impossible notions of way- laying Fraser and Fort and shutting them up in a dark room somewhere; he even went the length of suggesting that we should carry Neenah away from the house in the Rua Nova de San Francisco de Paula, by force, and put her into Lady Bantree's charge at the Lega- tion, whilst he and I busied ourselves in grub- bing up the diamonds for her. "You think, then, that she would tell us the secret?" I aaked. "Yes, since we should use it in her service." "She won't," I told him. "And you musn't lay a finger on either Fort or Fraser. They have the plans, without which Neenah's secret is useless. We haven't." "Anyway." said Bloxham vehemently. "Ncenah isn't fit to hold her end up alone against three snob blackguards as those." I leaned back in my chair, and shrugged my shoulders. "I have a notion," I said; ."tha-t she is, as you put it, fit to hold her end up against any- body, you and me included. Yoa admire her, don't you?" "Yea." "I was afraid of it." I said dolefully. "The widow herself warned me." "Oh." said Charles, making a. puddle with the dregs of his liqueur on the marble table, "not in the wa; you mean. In faot, I "Admire the widow, herself He blushed slightly, broke the liqueur glass with a sudden movement, laughed, and then looked solemn. "I did," he admitted; "but you seam to have put your spoke into that. too. After what you've just told me about her-" "That makes a difference?" I could not help saying. "Well, yes. you know--since sbwa & mur- deress!" "Oh, only in intent," I expostulated. "But it makes no difference to me. I still admire her." Charles shot a. questioning look at me. I think he even shrank back a. little from me as he asked: "But you love Neenah?" "My dear Charlie," I said, "does the fact that a man loves one woman necessarily pre- vent him from admiring any other woman? Tbat's a poor compliment to the sex.. I be. lieve there is really a. great deal of good in Hetty Wedderbnrn; and, what's more, I think, I have seen some of it." Rat at that Charlie only shook his head, and smiled, a trifle contemptuously. "In fact," said he, with a curl of the lip, "we may reverse your decision of a few minutes ago, and say that she's nearly all angel?" "Under certain circumstances," I returned steadily, "I believe that Hetty Wedderburn could be all angel." Nell Williams of Johannesburg! Hetty Wedderburn of the mullet-epearing expedi- tion on the TagtIB! It was, perhaps, hardly surprising that Bloxham laughed again, and murmured: "Rot!" But it wasn't rot; I mean't wha.t I said, every word of it. If Hetty Wedderburn could fascinate, and fool, every man she met, it was reasonable enough to believe that if she gave her mind to it she could fascinate, and be an angel to, one man. Under certain circum- stances I should even, I think, have been will- ing to be the jnan., But I don't want Neenah to hear me say that. "What about Neenah?" asked Bloxham pre. gently. "I shall write to her." "And I shall go and epe her," said Bloxham- "this afternoon." "Why?" "Oh. to lay my sword at her feet, you know! To lielp her to keep her end up against these I j people. I'll be your envoy, if you like. and try to find out what the widow told her about you." "Thankfl!" I said shortly. "You'll do noth- ing of the sort!" Bloxham looked at me queerly, and then laughed in my face. "Wha.t a jealous beggar it is!" he said. "You men in love always seem to think every other man wajits to eteal your girl. But I won't poach; I didn't mean that when I said I'd lay my swor^ at her feet. I only want her to; know thsit I'm the last recruit to her party, II and yours-honest Injun, that's all." "04 I know that, of course!" said I sulkily. "I didn't suspect you. You see, you've just told me that the other woman-but we needn't' discuss that. The point is that I prefer to fight my own battle myself. See?" "Yes," he said, "I see. You mean that a I man shouldn't make love by go-betweens?" "Exactly! So, of coirse-" "I musn't mention you. All right, I won't." I "But you'll have to, if you go," I reminded him. "You'll have to say who told you about the diamonds, and about Hetty." 'I "Fact! so I shall! Thien I won't go at all." "Oh, but-" I began, and then stopped. I did not want him to go. ¡ "After all, why should I go?" he asked im- pulsively. "She'd be certain to think you'd sent, me, and I see with you how that would work. No, I won't go. I'll lay my sword at your feet instead of hers; and we'll hope that that will come to the same thing." "You're a good chap, Charlie," I said grate- fully; for I really WM Relieved by his decision not to go. Why? Oh, because—I don't know! I knew he was loyal as day; and even if he, hadn't been I'vp just said that I wasn't afraid of him; but still-ah, well. I don't know what! my reason was not exactly, that is! A man in love isn't to be expected to supply reasons for everything he does. We parted at the door of the Cafe Tavares. I told Charlie that I meant to keep the II appointment with "Marie at. Leg DeIu Chats in the evening, and asked him to -change his mind I and come with me. He refused; he thought he had told me, be said, that he wasn't going to play the spy on his quests; but he would come round to my hotel in the morning to hear my report. Well, that was, surely, much1 the same thinsr as wearing Marie's white rose and going to the Deux Chats; but I believe the fact that it was so never even occurred to him. I refrained from drawing his attention to this point, because if I had I believe he would have been quite capable of refusing to profit by any information which I brought; and if it turned out that Marie had anything of importance to tell that would have been a pity. I spent the rest of the day in writing and tearing up letters to Neenah. I could not turn out anything that satisfied me. The first was indignant, impetuous, and somewhat incohe- rent; the last was formal, stilted, and wholly inadequate; and the others were anything between these two extremes. Finally I wrote: "Give me an opportunity of defending myself. I do not yet know why you say I insult you. But I love you. At the risk of adding to my offence, I tell you go once more." I posted this letter on my way to Les Deux Chats, and I laughed as I dropped it in the box; for it was my first love-letter, and I could not honestly say that it was a good one. A man ought to learn the art of this sort of correspondence before he is thirty-three. A boy of nineteen would have written something much more convincing. Les Deux Chats was an establishment of a kind which is, perhaps fortunately, not known in England. It did not open its doors till dark- ness had given its frivolity a cloak, and it did not close them till-well, I never yet met any one who could, or would, tell me when it closed its doors It did not advertise itself as a respectable family restaurant, and it. would not have been believed if it had. Con- sequently when I pinned the white rose in my button-hole, and pushed open the swinging doors with their device of two blaok cats fighting across a gas-lit transparency, I felt desperately and delightfully wicked. But the scene inside was sordid enough. There was a long, low room, whose walls were hong with trophies of fairly good African arms and armour, which were worth perhaps about a. tenth of the price for which the manageress would have sold them to you. The room was partitioned off, by Japanese screen-work, into little compartments, each of which had its table, its waitress, and its groap of three or four men drinking and smoking cigarettes. The waitress sat with bar customers, and drank with them; and it was etiquette, when you ordered your own drink, to order one for her too. This. if she chanced to be hungry, she would probably convert into terms of poached eggs and bread. I saw no fewer than three of the girls thus regaling themselves at the same tables at which their patrons were sip- ping their vinbo verde or cerveja. de Bavaria. Poor things! their wages depended upon the number of glasses they could charm their ad- mirers into drinking; and, judging by the tally of little saucers which lay on the tables, busi- ness had not been brisk to-night. I looked around for the companion to my white rose. The hum of a polyglot conversa- tion, morrentarily checked at the tables nearest the door by my entrance, rose again as -each group decided that I was uninterest- ing and thai it didn't know me. At one table three or four Portuguese were disputing about numbers in the last lottery, while their hand- some Spanish waitress ate with every sign of hungry enjoyment the plate of eggs for which one of the disputants had no doubt paid; at another a little fuzzy-haired girl was narra- ting something (presumably naughty) in French to a group of very young men, who bent their heads over the table to catch what she was saying, and punctuated each clause with a delighted chuckle; a little further on two young Germans were noisily chaffing their attendant nymph in their own language, and being answered by her in pure and singularly melodious Castilian; and as my glance roamed round the groups, and felt at last on a face I recognised, a purely English exprenion of astonishment cut sharply across the hum of more alien speech towards me. "Well. I'm blessed!" was the man's remark; and as he caught my eye he grinned, with an expression which seemed to say that he hadn't expected to meet me here, and hinted further that he was mildly shocked at my wickedness. The fellow was Sir Francis Bautree's English valetr-a privileged servant at the Legation. Old Sir Francis called him the most amusing scoundrel who had ever taken liberties with his master, and was in the haljit of threaten- ing to sack him for impertinence two or three times a week on an average. The man wu. the most accomplished goesijj in Lisbon. I strelled across to the table at which "fee was sitting. (To be Continued on Ifcwtda*}
