while prima donna. 81 might have
known that when one is unlucky one

of shadow.
"I?" She paused with indecision. The
question was not expected. "Oh. Italy
is my home. I shall find a way some
how. Put me out of your thoughts en-
tirely. But I am sorry to bring you
this bitter disappointment. for It must
be bitter. You have all been SO good
and patient in your misfortune"
Forget it," said O'Mally. Sure,
we're no worse off than we were be-
fore. And here we've had a whole
week of hope and fine air-castles. I've

But there is one thing 1 wish to

slowly.
And that?" La Signorina was never
sure of this man. He was deeper than
the others; he had more polish. more
knowledge of the world at large: he
was a gentleman by birth. He was a
puzzle, and at this period she was not
overload of shifting puzzles into an
swers.
"You have guaranteed our credit at
this hotel. By what means?" Worth
held her eye with courage.
MY word" she answered, finding
that she could not beat down his eye.
"I know something of these foreign
hotel nag Words are all right,
but they must be backed by concrete
values" Worth's y was still steady
and unwavering. "If, as I believe, you
have guaranteed our credit here by
means of Jewels, we must know"
She appealed silently to O'Mally, but
he shook his head determinedly.
Its only right that we should know
he said, wondering why this thing HAD
never entered his thick skull before.
Let us not indulge in fine senti-
ment. I have guaranteed your credit
here; how / have dom so, ought not to
matter much"
"But it does" countered Worth. 'It

knowing" Worth spoke with feeling.

But IL she's broke, what the devil

"She said h had another plan" said
Worth.

wrinkles.

Positively, no. added Worth.
O'Mally unused. "a bill from your
tailor will reach you here in eight-days,
but money! Looks as if they had sent
it via Japan"
1.-THE one thing I'm sore about Is the
way she buncoed us into giving up our
retur tickets to the chorus"
Shame on you!" cried the generous
O'Mally. "What chance had any of

When he was out of the way O'Maily
nodded wisely to his friend Smith.
Il hope he won't make a fool of him

He has the symptoms. I've seen
'em before" replied Smith jocularly.
But he's an odd duffer, and there's no
knowing what he'll do before the round
up. It's a fine go, anyhow. Here we
are, handsomely stranded thousands of
miles from home. The only chance
have of finding money in a letter is to
sign for next season and draw down
enough to pay for a steamer ticket.
AS for a bank account, Lord. I never
had one. 1 have made two offers for
my versatile talents. but no line yet"
O'Mally laughed. Same boat. I've
written to my brother. who has always
held that I'm a good-for-nothing. And
he may see in this predicament of mine
a good chance to be rid of me perma-
nently. But I believe Worth has a
bank account at home. He is close
mouthed about his affairs. He received
some letters yesterday. but when l
quizzed him he made out he didn't
heal me. I didn't crowd him. Hope
he won't make "a fool of himself over

The door opened and Worth beck
oned. 'They are in the parlor, waiting.
I don't know what news they bring"
There was q brightness in his eyes
that meant unmistakable things to his
two companions. They laid aside their
pipes, tidjed up a bit. n went down
to the stuffy salon. The two women
rose as the men entered. There was
good cheer and handshaking. O'Maliy's
heart sank. however, as he touched the
hand of La Signorina. There was no
joy In the pressure, nothing but SYM
pathy and subtle encouragement.
Come he said cheerfully, put us
out of our misery. Confess that you
are both broke, and that Monte Carlo
is still on the map"
AS a preamble La Signorina raised
the inevitable veil to the rim of her
hat. Worth sat down in the darkest
corner whence he could without I'm
convenience feast his eyes upon her
beauty. Her tale was short and lightly
told. with an Interpolation now and
then by Kitty.

women I yer saw or care to see." He
rose and walked over to the window and
gazed down upon the quay, bright with
morning sunshine and colorful with
two human currents.

Smith.
