His graceful walk was not wholly

attache OF the Marsovian legation at
Paris. AS a diplomat he had scarcely

'Tt is no joke, and I'm not mad.

The ambassadors wife glanced nery-
ously about her. She and De JolidOn
were enscenced IN an alcove OF the
salon.
It was the night OF the embassy
ball. From the adjoining ballroom
came the strains Of a waltz and the
soft gliding OF hundreds OF dancing
feet Guests were passing and re-
passing along the great hallway and
broad stairs at the rear Of the salon.
But for the moment the two had the
room TO themselves.

her fan from the table. With the
pencil that dangled from his dancing
card De Joiidon scrubbed three words
on one OF the ivory sticks OF the fan,
then handed IL to his hostess.
Natalie. with a little catch in her
breath. slowly read the words aloud:

AS a servant hurried OF with the
message the speaker waddled into the
room. He was a stout. ungainly little
man. clad in the quaint national cos
tune or Marsovia. Bald Of head, pop
ping OF eye and with abnormally long
red mus;ache. his was a personality TO
excite laughter In a mummy.
The newcomer was Nish, messenger
and clerk OF the embassy. At HIS APP
proach Natalie and De JOrdon slipped
away 20 the ballroom. A moment later
a tall, lean. fussy man with hooked
nose and mincing gait trotted down
the stairway and into the salon
