caused a considerable interruption of

She laughed a little, almost hyster-

Of course It isl How stupid Of me!
You will forgive me, Senior de LimaY
The Mexican recovered admirably,
stepping back with a bow.
The music ceased their flying feet
were stilled; Patria awoke as from a
dream. A faint suggestion of APP
plause made her appreciate that they
had had the floor practically to them
selves.
Her embarrassment was such that
she never knew just what it was she
said to Captain Parr as they hastily,
by way Of another window, sought the
refuge of the veranda.
She never, indeed, could quite re-
call what passed between them in the
course of the next few minutes.
A footman found them with the in
formation that Patria was wanted on
the telephone: Long distance calling
from New York.
A little dazed by the conflict of her
senses, she responded mechanically.
A moment later she was in the IL
brary-quite by herself-with a re-
ceiver to her ear. Then a voice fall
tered through the night, a voice most
clear, yet strangely faint, iterating her
name-"Patria"-over and over.
She managed to make the speaker
understand that she was Patria.
"Peter Ripley speaking-your guar
dian. The nations welfare rests with
you. And l am dying"
On the echo of that last word the
report of a pistol shot r%everberated
over the wire, st loudly and seemingly
so near at hand that it might have
been fired in the room adjoining that
wherein Patria stood.
Almost instantly it was echoed by
another report.

Parr pondered the adventure sober

Donald Parr.

there was NJ answer from the other
end-said Mr.. Ripley wouldn't answer

He nodded sympatl etically. "All

might urn the trick for u.s.
"Oh. thank youl Wait for me-
Patria pointed-'over there-half way

"As you wish"

She darted swiftly into the house.
Parr had just brought the roadster
to a standstill at the point indicated
by p. ria when another car, a llmOu-
