DE valette said quickly, gravely:
But he saved the fair fame Of his

Vaiette grimly.
OF a sudden came from outside the
sound of woman's voice in song-a
song that matched in melody the air
of fife and drum and that gave it
words as we'll; came with it the sound
Of dancing feet and the clinking Of
tambourine.

He rose to his feet and went 10 the
door. throwing it open. AS he did so
there dashed into the room a woman
Laughing. head held high she pi-
rouetted across the floor, finishing
song and dance together and, with a
flourish of the tambourine, she stood
gazing in mocking merriment upon the

She wore a skirt Of vivid red and her
rounded arms were bare to the elbow
Large gold ear ornaments she had. and
many rings upon her fingers. and her
shoes were dust laden.
At De Valette she looked and at the
priest. But upon Raoul she looked
longer. He turned little She
laughed.
"Who are you?" demanded De Va

awkwardly a gun that reached from

The first Of the two with long
strides advanced to the center Of the
