question: CHAPTER XL 

"For once," Lady Carey said, with a faint smile, "your 'admirable Crichton' has failed you." 

Lucille opened her eyes. She had been leaning back amongst the railway cushions. 

"I think not," she said. "Only I blame myself that I ever trusted the Prince even so far as to give him that message. For I know very well that if Victor had received it he would have been here." 

Lady Carey took up a great pile of papers and looked them carelessly through. 

"I am afraid," she said, "that I do not agree with you. I do not think that Saxe Leinitzer had any desire except to see you safely away. I believe that he will be quite as disappointed as you are that your husband is not here to aid you. Some one must see you safely on the steamer at Havre. Perhaps he will come himself." 

"I shall wait in Paris," Lucille said quietly, "for my husband." 

"You may wait," Lady Carey said, "for a very long time." 

Lucille looked at her steadily. "What do you mean?" 

"What a fool you are, Lucille. If to other people it seems almost certain on the face of it that you were responsible for that drop of poison in your husband's liqueur glass, why should it not seem so to himself?" 

Lucille laughed, but there was a look of horror in her dark eyes. 

"How absurd. I know Victor better than to believe him capable of such a suspicion. Just as he knows me better than to believe me capable of such an act."

A BOB SLED RACE 

"Whoop! hurrah! it's snowing!" 

Thus shouted Tom one day, as he burst into the library of the Hall, where Dick, Sam and a number of others were perusing books and the latest magazines. 

"Hard?" queried Sam, dropping the magazine he held. 

"No, but steady. Peleg Snuggers says it is going to be a heavy fall, and he generally knows." 

"And he loves snowstorms so," put in Fred, with a laugh. "Do you remember the time we made a big fort and had a regular battle?" 

"Indeed I do!" cried Larry. "It was great! We ought to have something of that sort this winter." 

"I was hoping we'd get skating before it snowed," put in Songbird. 

"Well, we can't have all the good things at once," answered Dick. "I think a heavy snowstorm is jolly. Somehow, when it snows I always feel like whistling and singing." 

"And I feel like making up verses," murmured the poet of the school, and went on: 

"Oh, the snow, the beautiful snow, Coming down when the wind does blow. Coming down both day and night, Leaving the earth a wonderful sight! Oh, the snow, the heavenly snow!----" 

"Wetting our feet wherever we go!" 

continued Tom, and added: 

"Oh, the snow, When the wind doth blow, It sets a pace And hits our face And we are froze Down to the toes And in the slush, That's just like mush, We cannot stop, But go ker-flop!"
