went down to the cavernous entrance
to bid George good night. They were
both difident and shy. now that the
great problem was solved. George was
puzzled as to what to do in bidding
her good night, and Fortune wondered
If he would kiss her right here, before

over his eyes, till 1t left in departing
a caress upon his forehead. He stood
up, breathing quickly, but not more SO
than she. A little tableau. Then he
jammed his battered fedora upon his
head and strobe up the Corso. He
dared not turn. Had he done so, he
must have gone back and taken her in
his arms. She followed him with
brave eyes; she saw him suddenly
veer across the street and pause at the
parapet. 1t was then that she be-
came conscious Of the keenness OF
the night-wind. She went in. Some
how, all earth's puzzles had that night
been solved.
George lighted a cigar, doubtless
the most costly weed to be found in
all Naples that night. The intermit'
tent glowing Of the end family out,
lined his face. Far away across the
shimmering bay rose Capri in a kind

was dark again.

models, quite inexpensive. Once.
George was forced to remain outside
in the carriage. It was in front of the
lingerie shop. He put away each re
ceipt. Just like a husband upon his
honeymoon. Later, receipts would
mean as much, but from a different
angle or vision. He bought 10 many
violets that the carriage looked as
though 1t were ready for the flower
carnival. He laughingly disregarded
her protests. It was the Song Of
Songs.

This oversight was easily remedied:
and then George sought the tailor
shops for ready-made clothes. He had
more difficulty than Fortune; ready
made suits were not the easiest things
to find In Naples. BY noon, however,
he had acquired a Scotch wooden for
day wear and a fairly decent dinner
suit, along with other necessities.

by a revealing thought.

How they laughed! Indeed, so high

bought up all the pennies from the
hunchback tobacco vendor. Later, as
they bowled along the sea-front,
George created a small riot by fling
ing pennies to small boys and whining
beggars. At five they went aboard the
ship, which was to leave at shutdown.

The captain himself welcomed them
as they climbed the swaying ladder.
There were a hundred first-class pas
sengers for the final voyage. The two,
however, still sat at the right and left
Of the captain; but the table was
filed, and they maintained a guarded
prattle. Every one at one assumed
that they were a bridal couple, and
watched them with tolerant amuse-
ment. The captain had ~considerate'
ly left their names off the passenger
list as published for the benefit Of
the passengers and the saloon-sitting.
So they moved in a sort Of mystery
which rough weather prevented being
solved.

They spoke no more of Ryanne. It
was as though he had dropped out
Of their lives completely, To a GER
tain extent he had. They were to meet
him again, however, in the last act of
this whimsical drama, which had
drawn them both out Of the common
place and dropped them for a full spin
upon the whirligig of life.
In due time they arrived at Alexan-
dria. There they found the great
transatlantic liner, homeward bound.
Ryanne would beat them into New
York by ten days. He had picked up
a boat of the P. & o. line at Port Said,

From there to C%herbourg was a tri-

George knew the captain, and the
captain not only knew George, but
had known Georges father before
him. The young man went to the
heart of the matter at once; and when
he had finished his remarkable tale,
the captain lowered his cigar.
