were Dyaks or Malays, however, I had
not sufficient experience to determine
and for more than one reason I did not
like to ask.
But at that moment my reyerie was
interrupted by the appearance of a neat
ly clad steward, who in broken English
presented me with an invitation fron,
her ladyship to tiffin in the saloon in
half an hour. This was an unexpected
honor, and one which. you may be sure
l did not hesitate to accept. l wanted

picked out in white and gold, found
myself in her ladyship's own quarters.
There was no one present, and l must
own l was glad of that, for wanted an

my story must endeavor to give you
some description of it. In the first place,
you must understand that the compan-
ion ladder opened directly into the sa-
loon itself. This otherwise common
place effect was, however, rendered
most artistic by heavy pile of carpet
which covered the steps and by the cur
aims which draped the entrance and the
portfolios. More of the same noiseless
carpet covered the floor, while light
