The Eastern woman could be only a maid,
of course, as Sir Peter had said; but,
shrouded as she, was in her white ORA
peries, SHE was an impressive figure. No
doubt, Eve told herself, it was the cos
tune which gave an air Of stateliness and
mystery to woman commonplace enough
in herself; still, even while the girl greet
ed her guests. she thought Of the white
form seated with the dignity Of a captive
queen in the boat with the luggage.
"Well what an adventure you have
had!' exclaimed Lady .Drayton, shaking
hands with Sir Peter: and kissing Eve
with enpresseme emit. ''That telegram you
sent to Ian this morning was so exciting.
And some of the government people must
have wired, too, for the news about your
derelict is all over Tangier. Everybody
seems to be talking about it. It appears
she called here only yesterday-at least,
she sent in a boat and bought things;
but no one knows anything about her;
it's the most extraordinary mystery. Eve,

CHAPTER Viii.
The Bell Dancer.

"A sudden fear, small and cold as a
crawling adder, crept into Ewes heart,
but she would not give 1t room. What
nonsense, she said-scolding herself for a
foolish thought-to suppose that this
Moorish woman, selling jewels for her
mistress, could possibly have any real
knowledge, of Dick Knight or the xenia!
She wanted money, that was all, or per-
haps she was anxious to go to Gibraltar
on her own account, and was schemine
to have, her fare paid. It must be one OF
the two motives which moved her; still
it would be stupid not to take advantage
Of such wonderful chance to send a
word Of encouragement to Dick. Another
opportunity like this might never come
and Eve had not promised her father that
she would never write to Dick.

girl asked, more cautiously.

The Woman In the Luggage Boat.

1t was getting on towards eight o'clock
and dinner time when the Lily Maid
reached Tangier, having been delayed
more than twelve hours by the adventure
with the derelict. A telegram had been
sent that morning to Lord WaVerley from
Gibraltar, however, and soon after the
Lilly Maid let go her anchor, Sir Peter
knocked at the door of his. daughters

"Evie, are you ready?" he asked.
''Lady Drayton and Waverley are coming
out to us in a boat, with another full Of
luggage, and they'll be on board in six or
eight minutes
'I'm ready" said the girl and opened
the door. 49,
1t had been in Sir Peters mind that she
might have chosen to punish him by look"
ing her worst for Dick knights rival. but
she was exquisitely dressed. Perhaps.
she had been even prettier in, her simple
white frock the night before, but she was

ferently, piled on top of her. little head
instead of being coiled at the nape of the
neck, as before, and altogether she
