The man was so obviously not mere
ly seeking to scrape an acquaintance
that the girl had no hesitancy in reply
ing.
''In the hotel, l think" she said cool
ly.
"You intend sailing almost immedi-
ately, do you not" persisted the man.
The girl was surprised, but the oues-
toners manner was thoroughly re-
spectful and vet seemed to demand a
reply.

turned away
The questioner bowed.
'Thank you" He half turned to 20,
then stopped and, turning back, said
coolly:
"By the way, it may interest you,
Miss Durant, to know that the Roa-
Eoke anchored in the harbor an hour
ago and that Lieutenant Sommers is
expected at this hotel any minute"
Then, bowling coolly, be turned and
walked off, leaving Frances staring
after him in establishment.
A slight noise back of her brought
the girl to her senses. She looked up
c%uriously.
