Il, too, love you," declared the doc
tor. "And if Toni dies, 1 shall protect
you with my life.
Anita stared at the ground and was
silent. And Graves turned once more
toward the door.
81 shall come again tonight" he re-
peated
All the afternoon, Anita thought
over what the gorgio had told her;
and, while the memory of his words
brought strange joy to her heart,
she ever and anon shook her head
gravely.
"Gorgios make love lightly she
said to herself; yet the handsome face
of the young doctor haunted her.
Toni was no better at night, and DR..
Graves sat long time by his bedside.
Anita sat little distance away and
looked from the face of the doctor to
that of her grandfather and back
again. And outside, beyond the dim
glare of the candle light that came
from the tent, a pair of glittering
black eyes, from beneath the brow of
a swarthy countenance, looked in up
on the group.
At last, the doctor arose. Toni had
gone to sleep again, and was breath
ing quietly.
''Old Toni has a chance to live

The girls eyes beamed her thanks
For moment the man stood and
looked down into these eyes. Then he
caught her hand passionately-
q love you, little Romany maid,' he
said. mo gorgio maiden has made
my heart beat like this. Think about
it until old Toni gets well. and see if
you cannot love me for more than the
fee you promised"
Anita's heart beat quickly, and she
lowered her eyes submissively, when
he kissed her hand.
The camp was located in the edge
of a bit of old forest half mile from
the village; and just as DIR. Graves
was about to emerge from this wood
into the open highway, sudden whir
in the air above his head caused him
| to spring back and throw up his hand
| just in time to catch in his grasp a
/, brown sinewy wrist and prevent the

had been aimed at his heart. The pow

that the gypsy dropped to his knees in

hand. 1t was Costello, and his eyes
