Presently, as the next dance began,
she arose.
"Mr. Holton," she said, believe me
sincerely when l say to you that
must go now. I promised father l
would leave at one o'clock, and you
see now that it is after one"
Holton got up with a gesture of de-
precation. He had taken her hand and
did not relinquish 1t. nor did she at
tempt to draw it way.
"If you ever hear anything concern
ing me-now or in the future, will
you withhold judgment until-until
you ask me about 1t and have me ex-
plain?"
Il promise" replied Holton. There
was faint pressure on his fingers, a
bright smile, and the next instant he
was standing alone.
AS he stood thus, someone touched
him on the arm, and glancing about.
Holton was confronted by thick-set
man in evening dress.

Holton thought a moment and then
there REQUIRED to him the girls parting
words: 'If you ever hear anything
concerning me now or in the future,
will you withhold judgment until you
ask me about 1t and have me explain?"
And he had promised. Well, he would
make good his word. He would have
her explain.
He turned to the Secret Service man
beside him.
:'What you have said is very inter-
esting," he said. "In good time may
have supplementary information"
Don't tell me you didn't know this
all the while?" smiled the detective.

that l enjoyed 1t immensely and my

CHAPTER III.
A Broken Promise,

While Holton was making up his
mind to ask Miss La Tossa several
questions, her father began to do that
very thing without, apparently, wait
ing to make up his mind, as soon as
the two were within the little ante
room of their hotel suite.
"Carita!" he expostulated. "You
did not attend this dance to flirt?"
She laughed. Father, and how
could l help it? He was such-such
corker."
The senor raised his hands heaven

mock dismay. Agreed, then, he was

is really valuable information. But
now tell me was he such a corker
that you forgot to ascertain that for
which you attended this ball? Was
he in reality Lieutenant Holton?"
ooh, yes, he was"
well, then, what about the Scor-
pion?"
why, IL did not recall that you"
The candor which was naturally part
of the girls nature asserted itself.
Father, he was SO fascinating that
| forgot all about the Scorpion"
"So!" Senor La Tossa shrugged his
shoulders. There was very small
doubt that he really was Lieutenant
Holton." he went on. Several of my
men recognized him. But what was
really important was why he left the
torpedo boat. and having done so,
what became Of the boat. That was
what l really wished to know, and
what you easily could have learned.

Il have heard enough to make 1t

to have to say that you are also a
trif1e foolish. You will therefore sail

Very well, father; it shall be as

him closely. THE United States is a

Yes, but not a warlike one. Our
soldiers uphold the traditions OF the

history, so filled with annals of
achievement and of conquest both on
