"Oh, don't talk drivel. 1t makes me
sick. Leave Adrian alone and listen
to a living man." he shouted all the
pentup intellectual disgusts and sex
Jealousies bursting out in mad gush.
"A real, live man, who would walk
through Hades for you!" He caught
her frail body in his great grasp, and
she vibrated like Bit of wire caught
by "a dynamo. MY love for you has
nothing whatever to do with Adrian.
I've been as loyal to him as one man
can be to another, living and dead. BY
God, have! Ask Hilary and Barbara.
But want you. I've wanted you since
the first moment l set eyes on you.
You've got into my blood. You're GO
ing to love me. You're going to marry
me. Adrian or no Adrian"
He bent over her and she met the
passion in his eyes bravely. Sc did
not lack courage. And her eyes were
hard and her lips were white and her
face was pinched into a marble stat
uette of hate And unconscious that
his grip was giving her physical pain,
he continued:
! I've waited for you. I've waited for
you from the moment I heard you were
engaged to the other man. And I'll GO
on waiting. But by God,"-and not
knowing what he did, he shook her
backward and forward-"l'll not go ON
waiting forever You-you little bit OF
mystery-you little bit of eternity

to sudden fury. He picked her up bod

CHAPTER VIII.
IT was Saturday morning. | was
shaving peacefully in my dressing
room when Jaffery, after thunderously
demanding admittance, rushed in, clad
in bath gown and slippers flourishing
a letter.
Read that"
I recognized Liosha's handwriting. I
read:
Dear Jaff Chayne:
"As you are my trustee l guess |
ought to tell you what I'm going to do
I'm going TO marry Ras Fendihook-"
looked up, But you told me the
man was married already"
He is. Read on"
I'VE are going to be married at once
We are going to be married at Havre,
in France. Ras says that because
am widow and an Albanian Ii would
be an awful trouble for me to get mar
ried in England, and I would have to
give up half my money to government
But In France, owing to different laws,
l can get married without any fuss
at all. l don't understand it. but Ras
has consulted lawyer, so it's all right
l suppose when am married you won't
be my trustee any more. So, dear Jaff
lChayne, l must say goodbye and thank
you for all your great kindness to me.
| am sorry you and Barbara and Hilary
don't like Ras, which his real name
really is Erasmus, but you will when
you know him better.
Yours affectionately,
'.BIOSHA PRESCOTT"
We didn't like the bounder. OF all
the music hall celebrities In Europe
Ras Fendihook was the least likabe
and the greatest villain.
"Of all the internal scoundrels!"
cried.
There's going to be trouble" said
Jaffery, and his look signified that it
was he who intended to cause 1t.
But why Havre of all places In the
world?" said |.
II suppose it's the only one he
knows" replied Jaffery. He must
have once gone to Paris by that route.
It's the cheapest"
