Justice Dickey refused to continue the

An appeal was taken to Justice Gay

CHAPTER vl.-contlnued.

To avoid the curiosity of passing
boats, Edwin has anchored near the
Beaulieu side of the bay. Upon this
Barnes now directs his glass. Looking
1t over, the American thinks 1t will be
much more probably the location of
Lady Chartris, as 1t has number of
pretty Villas nestled among olive, al
mond and orange trees, good many
of them having water frontage and
several being possessed of boat land
ings, as he suggested But on none of
them floats the flag of France, which
he had asked Lady Chartris to use as
a signal to locate her villa. He is al

the big dog and waving the French
flag at him. That flag, imagine, was
TO have been our signal" Then he in
spects the villa carefully and is pleased
to see that good solid brick wall of
sufficient height to exclude any but
very energetic intruders surrounds It's
pretty garden. Only on the water side
are its lawns open to view. and this
portion of the quiet bay appears ut
present devoid of boats.
A light flight of stone steps that en-
ter the water and tasty little floating
wooden landing stage indicate the for
mer owner of the villa had been
aquatic.
That's just the place to put the
ladies on shore as soon as it's dark"
remarks Edwin. for the two young men
had concluded it would be best to
make their entry into Villefranche

Very well, order the cutter away"
says Barnes, and I'll get ashore and
see that everything's all right"
In few minutes the American is at
