| , white-and I'll be here when Won Blitz and his wives are dancing to the tunes l play. Now let's get back to work. If VOn Blitz is working fin the dark. I'll compel him to show his hand. And. Miss Pelham" he concluded very slow. ly. "Pll promise to use club. if neccs. sary, to drive the Persian ladies away. So please rest easy on my account" The next morning the town hustled 1 with new excitement A trim, beau tiful yacht. flying strange colors, steamed into the little harbor of Ara tat. Every one knew that the yacht brought the princess who was to visit her ladyship.
 The enemy came down from his bun galOw, attracted by the unusua! and in- spring spectacle ot .sk.r Gt gecksr A line of anxiety marked his brow. Two figures had watched his windows all night long, sinister shadows that al- ways met his eye when it penetrated the gloom of the moonIlt forest.
 Lord and Lady Deppingham were on the pier before him. Excitement and joy illumined her face. Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation. rIe could almost see that she trembed Id her eagerness. He came gultes c;ose to them before they saw him. ExhiIara- tion no doubt was responsible for the very agreeable smile of recognition that she bestowed upon him The en- emy could do no less than go to them with his pieasantest acknowledgment His rugged face relaxed into a most charming. winsome smile, half diffi- dent, half assured.
 He passed among the wives of his clients without so much as sign of recognition, coolly indifferent to the hdmiring glances that sought his face. The dark. languorous eyes that flashed eager admiration d moment before now turned sullen with disappointment He had ignored their owners. Il have heard that you expect vis- itor," said the enemy in his most agree able manner
 Won't you go aboard with usT' asked Deppingham. at a loss for any. thing better 10 say. The enclny shook his head and smiled.
 You are very good, but believe my place Is here"
 The princess is to be with me for q month. We expect more sunshine than ever at the chateau" yentured her ladyship.
 "l sincerely hope you may be disap pointed" said he commiseratingly. flaming himself with his hat. She laughed and understood. but Depping- ham was halfway out to the yacht be- fore 1t became clear to him that the enemy hoped literally. not iiguratively The enemy sauntered back to the American bar. lonelier than ever before in his life. He now knew what 1t was that he had missed more than all else woman.
 Britt and Saunders were waiting for him under the awning outside.
 "Hello." called Britt. We saw you down there but couldn't get near By ginger. old man. had no idea your Persians were so beautiful They are oriental gems of
 My PersianS! What the devil do you mean. Britt? Come in and sit down: 1 want to talk to you fellows. See here. this talk about these women has got to be stopped. It's dangerous for you. and it's dangerous for me. It ;. Call .g.s look at them. handsome as you say they are. Do you know what l was think ing of as came over here after leav- ing one of the most charming of wom- en-yOur Lady Deppingbam? l was thinking what wrelched famine there is in women. I'm speaking of women like Lady Deppingham and Mrs. Browne. neither of whom l know, and yet I've known them all my life-the kind of women we love. not the kind we despise or pity. Don't you see? I'm hungry for the very sight of a woman"
 You see Miss Pelham often enough" said Saunders surlily. The enemy was making Il pitcher of lemonade
 My dear Saunders. you are quite right. l do see Miss Pelham often enough. In my present frame of mind I'd fall desperately in love with her if l saw her oftener." Saunders blinked and glared at him through his pale eyes
 My word" he said Then he got up abruptly and stalked out of the room Britt laughed immoderately.
 Hes lucky dog" reflected the en- emy. You see. he loves her. Britt--be loves little Miss Pelham. Do you know what that means? It means ev erything is worth while. Hello! Here he Is back. Come in. Saunders. Here's your lemo.''
 Saunders was excited. He stopped in the doorway. but looked over his shoulder into the street.
 "Come along" he exclaimed. They are going up to the chateau-the prin- cess and her party. My word. she's ripping"
