The Signorina sat there, looking very
thoughtful and troubled, but 1t seemed to
me as if she were rather undergoing a
conflict of feeling than thinking out a
course Of action. Once she glanced at
me, then turned away with a restless
movement and a sigh.

"You don't mind that?"
"Yes, I do. Nobody likes to be called

What, about settling the government"
he asked, grinning. "Not just yet. Wait
till I've got the Signora and the money,
and then We'll see about that. You think
about the money, my boy"
Much to my relief he then departed,
and as he went out I vowed that neither
Signorina nor money should he have. In
the course of the next twenty-four hours
l must find way to prevent him.
Rather early for a CALL" said L, "but

On my way up met several people and
heard some interesting facts. In the first

that they had embarked on The Song

doctor. Secondly, Johnny Carr was still
in bed at the Golden House (this from
Madame Devarges, who had been to see
him) but his men had disappeared, after
solemnly taking the oath to the new gov

any step that promised me the fulfllment
of my own designs. It was pretty evident
that there would be no living with Nc
Gregor in his present frame of mind, and
1 was convinced that my best course
would be to cut the whole thing, or, if
that proved impossible, to see what bar
