The two young men sauntered care

soon disappeared from the deck. A
few minutes later Totten entered the
luxurious parlor of r. Schmidt and
laid an unopened wireless message on

Count Quinnox looked at the prince
rather pityingly. 1T appears to be his

He has loaned us something like $780,

purely business transaction, but he

Moved by a sudden restlessness, he
decided that he was in need Of exer-
else. After completely circling the
deck once he decided that he did not
need the exercise after all. His walk
had not benefited him in the least.
He returned to his chair. AS he turn
ed into the dry, snug corner he came
to an abrupt stop and stared. Miss
Guile was sitting in her chair, neatly
incased in a mummy-like sheath of
gray that covered her slim body to
the waist.
She was quite alone in her nook,
and reading. An astonishing intrep-
idity induced him to speak to her aft
er lapse of five or six minutes, and
so surprising was the impulse that he
blurted out his question without pre-
amble.

ed cold rebuff. "You must have
