cabaret, and what was the meaning OF
his watchful investigation Of Muriels
face?
He looked from Ravengar to Muriel,
and, to his establishment and Joy, re-
allied that Muriel was looking at him.
Moreover, there was an invitation in
her glance. She seemed, in fact to
have eyes for him alone.
Louie licked his lips. He knew. He
was not mistaken.
: The thought that this beautiful
dancer was interested in him almost
overcame him. He was so absorbed In
| his reflections that he hardly noticed
the man and woman who came to the
table and sat down until the dancer
had disappeared.
She was to dance again later that
evening. Afterward Louie would go
to her.
When he looked at the newcomers
he discovered that they were Sebastian
and Leontine.
The recognition between Louie and
the Argentine was simultaneous.
won't you introduce me to
madam?" inquired the little crook
blandly.
'Leontine, let me introduce Mr..
Lamb an old acquaintance Of mine
muttered Sebastian.
"A business acquaintance" said
Louie, smiling. LET me, in turn intro
duce my friend, Mr.. Ravengar.'
Sebastian introduced, in turn,
looked obviously at Louie's distin-
guished companion.
In the dressing room Murie Mason
waited for her final turn. The thought
of her project filled her with very
mixed emotions.
The second turn came, and Muriel,
dismissing her troubles, hurried onto
the stage
When the dance was over Muriel
waited in the hall.
A cluster of chorus girls, each car
rying a lighted brazier, came out of
the dressing room and stood chatter
ing together, waiting for their turn.
Muriel drew back little from them.
She wished her meeting with Louis
to appear as accidental as possible.
A moment later she saw Louie come
quickly through the swinging doors
and glance about him. He saw her.
The dancer drew back toward one of
the lounges and stood there, apparent
ly absorbed in thought.
Louie hurried up to her and took
her by the hand urging her to sit down
beside him.
