But the Lady Elise had not gone.
Passing from the cloister through the
great arched doorway leading to the
high-roofed refectory, she had stopped
at the sight of a number of people
gathered near the entrance. At first
she had merely glanced at them; then
started, as, in the somewhat dim
light prevailing there, her eyes be-
came fixed upon one Of their number.
Obviously prisoner, he stood in
the center Of the group, with head
down-bent, hard, Indifferent express
sion on his countenance. Amazed, the
girl was about to step forward to ad-
dress him-or the commandant-when
Beppo appeared from the cloister,
walked toward the officer, and, in a
low ill-humored tone, said something
she could not hear. Whatever it was,
the commandant caused him to repeat
it; made a gesture to the soldiers,
who drew back, and spoke himself to
the prisoner. The latter did not reply
nor raise his eyes, and the comman-
dant laid a heavy hand on his shoul-
der, whereupon the prisoner moved
forward mechanically, through the
doorway.
"You are sure his Excellency said
'alone'?" asked the commandant.
LAS sure as l have ears" answered
Beppo.
But her ladyship-see! She is
walking after him."
Beppo shrugged his shoulders. "She
always does what she pleases; no or
ders apply to her"
In the shadow of the cloister roof,
at a corner where the double row Of
pillars met, the girl paused; looked
out through the columns, her hand at
her breast. The Governor was un-

Excellency."
For some time the Governor, with
frowning brows, slipped silently from
a glass of liquor at his elbow, and,
stiff, motionless, the commandant
waited; close at hand, a dove plumed
itself on the roof Of the cloister walk;
beyond, the girl again began to sing
ftfully.
Out Of the corner Of his eye the COM
mandant dared look at her, leaning
now against the wall, the clear-cut,
white features outlined against an H.
limitable blue background.

Involuntarily he started to raise a
