Still Ginnie looked down u the bare trees and the park. Pmt gave the effect from re of a country scene--so bare t was, and empty, When she sficke, it was to herself rather than Etienne. And it seemed to him strange that he should know 80 clearly what her next words would be: "Then--I'll never be able to marry anyone," she said. In the lounge of Bellage's Hotel it was the cocktail hour. Most tables were taken. A small or- chestra played, not too loud, The waiters, silent and swift, carried cocktails and, more infrequently, sherry. Round the high walls ran a row of imitation windows. The window boxes were filled with color, with hothouse flowers that trailed their tendrils and seemed here as exquisitely in place as were the exotic clothes of the women, the furs, the jewels, the light perfumes and the le of music, There was a low murmur of talk. A word spoken loudly was overheard. Therefore neither Mr. Richard Fosdyke nor Etienne, seated at a small table drinking 3poks anything but quietly. "Uncle ick" had chosen, as always, a table in a corner. It backed against a curved wall. No one could come up behind them nor hear what they said, No one, in fact, could approach the table at all without being seen, "I tell you, she's no darned use," Uncle Dick was saying. "And she never will be." "My friend," replied Etienne, "you go the wrong way to work. Remember she has received a shock, Also, in the past she has been used to quietness, kindness. But now, you and your wife--" "Truth is, she gets on Lou's nerves and min She's like e too. a darned little white-faced eat, | ays. "You make her stupid," Etienne said. - "And yet, when I give her her lessons she is not stupid." As he e Etienne saw Ginnie as she had been that morning, seated beside him, listening quietly while he taught her how to face all cir- nces of her new life; what to say, what not to what never fo say. 0 not swear at her, 5 "You swore at Jerry all right." "Jerry was a different proposi- tion, Fosdyke, I could make of Virginia something good. One could rely on her. For instance, she would never cry out, scream.

Etienne re seated. "Fosdyke," he said, "do not fear for your investment. "Ginn I guarantee that from now Ginnie shall do as you wish." "You guarantee--" "Yes. 1 will manage her, My friend, I play the piano. I do not attempt get music from it by slamming the lid up and down, And I do not press the loud pedal except when Daagsary." Etienne moved his head, He ked past Fosdyke, across the tables, to the |e entrance of the lounge. "And here she comes," he said, "Please send her to me as you go." He watched Uncle Dick's broad back wend its devious way among the groups. He saw him address briefly enough. Then he watched her come toward him, She looked like--a flower that has been uprooted, And it was strange, he thought, how he could see that and feel it; and how he could see her, too, from the pro- fessional point of view, and think: It will be difficult to make any- thing of her. She was listless. And in ti ast ten days, how many words d ,she spoken? At a guess, perhaps five hundred. He rose. Ginnie stood by the small table, hesitant. "Sit down." He smiled, so that it was difficult to know whether it was an order, "Where is Jer she seated herself, "He is out, 7" she asked as with friends," Etienne replied, And: "Here! Waiter! A dry Martini!" "But, Etienne, I don't drink." Ginnie was astonished. "You will drink this," he said. Dg TRY THIS TONIGHT!

UL And this time there was no doubt as to whether or not he gave a command, And crossed his legs, lt a cigarette and leaned back in his chair, "A friend," he said, "has rung you up. He is coming, in a few minutes to take you out. It is Mr, Christopher Stone." "No! No!" She made a little half-movement toward flight, "No ~]1 can't--" "Sit down, Ginnie," said Etienne. "Stone will not be here just yet. Now: Why cannot you go out with m i "l--ecan't,"" Her imploring gaze was fixed on him. Etienne played with the ash of his cigarette, "I think you for- get, do you not?" he said, "that you are here just for that; to go out in society? Nothing less, I as- sure you, will satisfy your good uncle, He is not satisfied now. And that, you know, means--risk for Jerry. There was a pause. Rather piti- fully, he thought, she played with clasp of her bag and looked at her hands. "Yes. 1 will go out --with other people," she said in a very low voice, "Only---only I don't want to see Kit Stone." She was still looking down, She couldn't see Etienne"s face, nor the almost imperceptible, not gay smile, "Listen, Ginnie," he said genily. "You are not thinking of erry. You are not remembering the life we lead, Or you think, pera s, it might be better, even, hat Jerry should go to prison? I do not wish him to go on in this business? Eh?" "I don't know," she whispered. "I don't know." "My. child, there is no danger of prison for Jerry. Your uncle would think: It is not safe. If Jerry should talk, the police would make inquiries. Your uncle would have to keep, perhaps for some years, to strict business. That would be inconvenient. No, 1 do not believe in the prison. But I think there might, perhaps, be --a little accident to you poth." "Accident?" "Yes. What do I know? The litt shaft, or Jerry's car--anything. It is not difficult, you under- stand, ,, ." The orchestra swung to the finale, The music stopped. There was some desultory clapping. And Etienne, too, applauded. His glance was on the musicians while his ears were straining for her reply. The whisper came at last, "I see . , , I understand." Her eyes, with all the blindness of a hunted animal's, met his. It was for a second only but in that Second, so swift is thought, he had time--in his mind--to rise from this place, to lead her out of the hotel, out into the street. To drive through the streets, through the fat green countryside of this alien land, to the harbor, to the night boat that would take them to his own France, to his own fair land of Provence, And thereperhaps, on some little hidden farm-- Ah, no! Fool, fool! he thought For that dream was as possible of realization as a dream of 4 flight to the moon. But he leaned for- ward and, as though by accident, he touched her hand, A page was approaching the table, He was followved by a man whose glance was bent on Ginnie. The stranger, Etienne saw, was tall, He hel himself well, carelessly, Yes, he was recognizably the Kit Stone of that snapshot. in the magazine, "How do you do, Ginnie?" he sald, And one could see how she started at his voice, "How do you do." Ginnie didn't rise, Indeed, at that moment she couldn't have moved, Her legs felt feeble as stems, "May I intro- duce," she said clearly, "Captain d'Alain--Mr, Stone." She looked at him and she saw he was the same. Yes, just the same, She felt at sight of him the sensation that she had known at Wanderslay, She had thought-- hoped--that under the blows of these last days it might have died, But it hadn't, Was it love? She hadn't been quite certain, But now she knew, for it had become anguish, His glance was the same; faintly mocking, as if he knew that she was his. Or as if he knew that he could make her his and might not take the trouble. am afraid it can't be dinner and a ngs lay, Ginnie," he was say- ng. " came up in such a hurry 1 hadn't time to pack evening kit. Will a film and supper do?" "I should like it very much," she answered. And her heart beat so heavily that anyone, she thought -- Etienne -- might have heard it, "Good," Kit Stone smiled, "I am due for a little relaxation. I'm+up here on unpleasant busi- ness, Do you remember my mother's pearls?" It seemed to Ginnie that there was utter silence -- no orchestra, no murmur of talk, not a sound. Only, in the whole world her own voice speaking: "Do you mean the black lovely ones?" she asked. "Yes," said Kit, "They have been stolen."
