if this has not something to do with it.
1t was said in Washington he spent

she was an American. At table there
was generally a desultory conversation
and many barb of malice Elsa shot
from her bow. Figuratively, the colo
mel walked about like a porcupine,
bristling with arrows instead of quills.
Elsa could have shouted at times, for
the old war dog was perfectly obliv-
ious. There was, besides. the inevi-
table German tourist, who shelled with
questions every man who wore brass
buttons, until there was some serious
talk of dropping him astern some dav.
He had shelled the colonel. but that

Upon these lrrawaddy boats the

usually sat at the purser's right, and
tonight she found the stranger sit

been vacant since the departure from
Mandalay. Evidently the purser had
decided to be thorough in regard to
her wishes. 1t would look less con.
spicuous to make the introduction in
this manner. And she wanted to meet
this man who had almost made her
cry out in astonishmenl.
