LUCILLE LOVE, The Girl of Muster,

From here her resolution was always clear
before her, her purpose indomitable- Looking out
upon the courtyard from her grated window,
there was something o1ninous about the striped
Spanish sword grass, the giant cacti with its
huge fingers pointing heavenward. the stone
patio that suited the mood of resolution into
which she had forced herself and against which
the heavy odors of the flowers, the blossoming
citrus and orange trees made but scant Roadway
ldling here, yet always plotting the first
move to be made when she escaped she noticed
the slightest triAe, grew acutely sensitive to
every incident
Thompson seemed upon his masters depart
ure to have lost pose as thoughts of the ruby
necklace his fingers had touched scared itself
upon his brain
She recalled how he had served in her
fathers house SO long with never suspicion
from anyone that he was other than the perfect
butler with thought outside of his work. And
then she recalled the incident Of the necklace
the manner of his entering the room when he
thought her under the influence of the drug, the
nimble fingers that caressed her throat without
touching it Always would she shudder at the
recollection, then deliberately drive it from her
mind.
It was the fourth day since the departure

Before the great crystal ball that was set
upon the tagging beside the patio fountain, be-
side which stood the monstrous, hoary, grey
palm tree, he halted, staring through the Sits of
his mask into its clear depths. She trembled as
she looked upon the flaming eyes close to the
reflection of her face. Suddenly he tore the
mask from him and tossed it to one side, closing
his arm fercely about her waist and drawing her
soft cheek against his swarthy one. Together they
stared into the ball, his eyes luminous with
wild love- hers moist with mingled sympathy and
fear. Gently she disentanged his fingers,
prised at the numbness of them, the with
which they responded to her will.
"You must go back" he murmured hoarsely,

CHAPTER XXXII.
A Thief Is RudclU Fooled.

0(TIETLY Lucille allowed herself to be con-
Y Quoted back to the room from which she mao
inst made her escape. Her heart was SO heaNy
she did not care what happened. Remembrance
of her mission had faded into blank before
the omnipresent horror of the grotesqne dcatn
of the ships captain who, out OF The ch'aiiy "
his own nature, had volunteered to save her.
Beside the broken window she sat- piottne'
planning, scieming, doing anything to drive
away the morbid thoughts which BARRED her.
the terrible visions that lowered everywhere
ground her. She had tried her best but stlli iau,
ire logged her footsteps. Her sweetheart had
:esigned from the army under such cloud as
must have broken his spirit completely His
heart she knew was already broken by h"r
seeming disbelief in him; her father was en-
tangled in the same net with his aide And she
held the KEY to the situation, key with no
lock to fit She alone knew where the papers
that would clear up the entire mystery were To-
Gated and she was prisoner OF the man who
had not only woven but had also cast the net
about him.
~Mr Loubeque's compliments, Miss Lucille"
murmured the butler, as he noislessly approached
with a tny glass of liquor, "and he thought
tiny sip might prove beneficial to the nerves.
Thank you, Thompson" she murmnred
sweetly. "Tel your present employer l shall
gladly do SO. But" she added, her eyes flashing
maliciously, Il forgot Mr.. Loubeque has been
your employer right along"
The man showed by no sign that the arrow
had pierced his perfect armor of Difference. He
merely bowed. :,
"Quite so, Miss Lucille. Thank you"
Before his perfect aplomb, Lucille stood un-
decided Her nerves shattered and the
drink she knew, would do her good. But there
had been that look in the mans eyes. She could
not be mistaken in it. Still, how would he dare
attempt anything in the house of Lcubeque? She
touched her tongue to the delicious, fiery stun
and waited A sensation of comfort slowly APP
preached her weary spirit, feeling of lassitud-,
delightful after the narrowing thoughts that had
annoyed her. She fought the sensation away,
confident that such tiny sip would have no
such effect unless it had been doctored.
Pouring out the liquor carefully, she lay
against the pillows in posture of dreamlcss
sleep 1t was half an hour before her patience was
rewarded. Then Thompson slipped stealthily into
the room, q smile Of eager triumph breaking the
mask Of his face he glanced toward her
Lucille Aexed herself, steel spring wound to its
last notch.
:, Thompson approached swiftly, silently. with
q surety that she had always identified with hira
which had made her regard him perfect
seryant before, but which appalled, her now. He
was beside her. leaning over her, his hand crop

about to close his fingers upon her throat. bat

could scarcely feel their weight A lttls ex-
