his thoughts during Tile tong voyage. nor would it be stretching the point to say that his day dreams were of her as he sat and smoked In his bungalow porch.
 Before Chase left London Sir John Brodney bluntly cautioned him against the dangers that lurked in Lady Dep pingham's eyes.
 ''She won't leave you peg to stand on. Chase. if you seek an encounter" he said. She's pretty and she's clev- CT, and she's made fools of better men than you. my boy. l don't say she's a bad lot. because she's too smart for that. Remember. my boy. you are go- ing out there to offset. not to beset. Lady Deppingham"
 Chase was not in love with the proud Princess Genevra. He denied that to himself a hundred times a day as he sat in his bungalow and smoked the situation over.
 He had proved to himself quite be- yond doubt that he was not in love. when, like bolt from clear sky. she stepped out of the oblivion into which he had cast her to smile upon him without warning. It was most unfair Her smile had been one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome in the effort to return a fair and final yer dict.
 Could anything be more miraculous than that she should come to the un- heard of island of Japat. uness pos sibly. that he should be there when she came? She was there for him to look upon and love and lose. just as be had dreamed all these months It matter ed little that she was now the wife of Prince Karl of Brabetz. To him she was still the Princess Genevra of Rapp-Thorberg.
 In his leather pocketbook lay the ever present reminder that she could be no more than dream to him. It was the clipping from Paris newspa- per announcing that the Princess Ge- nevra was to wed Prince Earl during the Christmas holidays.
 He had seen the Christmas holidays come and go with the certain knOwl- edge in his heart that they had given her to Brabetz as the most glorious present that man had ever received.
 Now she was come to the island, and, so far as he had been able to see, there was no sign of tue Prince Bra betz in attendance. Her uncle by mar riage, an English nobleman of high de- gree, in gathering his friends for the long cruise evidently had left the prince out of his party, for what req son Chase could not imagine. To say that the omission was gratifying to the tall American would be too simple a statement. There Is no telling to what heights his thoughts might have carried him on that sultry afternoon if they had not been harshly checked by the arrival of messenger from the chateau His blood leaped with an- ticipation.
 Could 1t be possible? But, no, she would not be writing to him. What ridiculous thought. His hopes fell flat as the note was put into his eager hand 1t was from Britt
 Still he broke the seal with cOnsld- erable eagerness. As he perused the somewhat lengthy message his dis appointment gave way to no uncer- tain form of excitement. With it's con- clusion he was on his feet, his eyes gleam with enthusiasm.
 By George! he exclaimed. What luck. Things are coming my way with a vengeance. I'll do it this very night thanks to Britt. And l must not for get Browne. Ah what a consolation 1t is to know that there are Americans wherever one goes. Selim! Selim!' He was standing as straight as cor poral and his eyes were glistening with the fire of battle when Selim came up and forgot to salute. so great was his wonder at the transformation. "Get word to the men that 1 want every mothers son of 'em to attend meet ing in the market place tonight at 9. Very important. tell 'em. Tell Von Bliz that he's got to be there. I'm going to show him and my picturesque friend, Rasula. that am here to stay. And. Selim. tell that messenger to wait. There's an answer"
 Long before Q o'clock the men of Japat began to gather fin the market and trading place. Hollingsworth Chase. attended by Selim. came down from his mountain retreat He heard he sioilant hiss or the scorneo Ter ians as he passed among them on the outskirts of the crowd. He observed the threatening attitude of the men who waited and watched. He saw the white, ugly face of Non Blltz quiver-
