The words, "The Kings Blues will

lips before Gil had turned and given
a command to lorraine. He found
the fellow (and he was not the only
one) staring in open-eyed and open
mouthed admiration at Lady FELTON,;
at her lovely shoulders and arms
cleaning like ivory through the yel-
low lace OF her gown. Her cloak had
slipped from off them. Small blame
to him; does not strong man al

1t required sharp kick, which Gil
meant to be secretly given, but was
only too evident, to make him pull
himself together and drop his eyes
abashed before Gil's stern ones. His

caused the men to laugh; even the
lady smiled. Upon which he heart
ened himself to another peek, but
Gil would have none of that. He
marshaled the men quickly and has
tened their exit from the room.
Gil was following, but when he
heard the next words of Lady Felton's
he stopped.

she said.

cried. and he put himself through the
