Or was It wholly recognitionf In
the manner with which the head wait
er greeted them, Patria thought to de-
tect something like bewilderment
promptly dissembled. The impression
persisted that the sensation she ex-
cited was less curiosity than astOnish-
ment.
This impression was deepened by an
odd incident shortly after they were
seated. Patria's first glance was drawn
as If by hypnotic magnetism, directly
across the room to the face Of young
man who, alone at a table for two,
had swung squarely round to stare at
Patria as If he could not credit the
testimony Of his vision.
It wasn't long after that the orches-
ira struck up waltz, and Patria
nodded gayly in answer to PARIS quick
invitation. She was very fond Of dan
cling, most of all fond of waltzing
with her Captain Parr.
Surprisingly, then, there came a
burst of handclapping from the ten
ants Of other tables.
Patria hesitated, with an inquiring
glance up into PARIS face. He shook
his head.
IT understand no more than you,"
he averred, laughing. Lets pretend
we notice nothing, dare say We'll get
some sort Of clue to the mystery be-
fore very long,"
They danced, but they danced alone.
By common consent all others turned
to watch them. And when they paused
with the music and moved back to-
ward their table, applause again pur-
sued them.
Embarrassed beyond measure, Pa
tria gave over trying to conceal it.
"Do let's CO." she begged. II can't
stand this sort Of thing"
Patria was waiting for Parr to hold
her cloak when she felt her arm i'm
prisoned in the brutal grasp Of one
who had stolen up on her from be-
hind. Instantly she was swung round
and identified her assailant with the
man at the adjoining table who had
been glaring at her so disconcertingly.
what D. foolishness is this?" he
demanded, thrusting bloated face SO
close to hers that Patria was almost
sickened by the reek Of the alcoholized

Fanny Adair. provided sop sufficient
unto the conventions, Miss Claiming
and Captain Parr recognized no ex-
cuse for failure to prolong this day to
Its extreme, and then bit beyond.
The luncheon at Claremont seemed
merely n natural prelude for motor
jaunt out Westchester way to escape
the whitening heat of town. Then af-
ter tea ut quaint roadhouse there
was n homeward drive to edge their
appetites for n little dinner on Del
monico's roof, In the course of which
it transpired that Parr happened (oh,
most adventitiously to have been
presented with three seats for the
premiere of famous summer revue.
an annual theatrical event not lightly
to be ignored.
1t was an hour past midnight when
Patria was admonished by Fanny
Adair that she really ought to return
to the hotel.
Almost pouting, the girl assented.
From that betrayal Parr took his cue.
''It seems altogether too tame an
end Of perfect day." he protested.
"Couldn't we go some place and have
dance-just one?"
Patria's sympathy was instant. I'D
love It,"
"Then where shall we go?"
Over question SO weighty the
young woman knitted her brows.
'I know!" she declared, after n mo-
ment-sedulously ignoring Fanny's re-
monstrances. Lets go to u good roof
gardenp
So they TAXED over to the roof Of
one of the theaters, and thanks to the
lnteness Of the hour, had little difficult
ty in securing table; for the per-
formance was over by the time they
entered.
Almost Immediately, Patria repent
ed her impulse. Well aware that she
figured prominently In the public eye,
she was unprepared to find herself SO
promptly recognized by SO man. peo-
pie.

You can't sit with swells and cut me

He broke Off with an oath as Parr,
striking his wrist smartly forced him
to free Patria's arm, and at the same
time stepped between them.
Pale and trembling with rage, as he
was, Parr did his best to pass the af-
fair Off without further trouble.
"You've made mistake" he told
the man sternly. "You're drunk, or
I'd punish you for It. Get out of our
wayr'
For reply he got sudden blow on
the jaw. Half-staggered, he stepped
back and retaliated with telling effect

ing doors to the roof Patria sank weak
ly down In chair, while Fanny Adair
moved or toward the dressing room
and disappeared.
A shadow bulked large between her
and the lights. She looked up with a
start. The drunken brute who had
created that scene stood over her, In
his eyes n baleful glare, which froze
the cry of fright on Patria's lips. She
looked up, petrified with terror.

FOURTH EPISODE
DoubIe-Crossed

Though not a sound disturbed the
rooms tranquility, the tenant of its
silk-clad couch was not asleep. And
yet she was by no means awake. Nor
NAL youth had had its fill Of slumber !;
now she rested in delicious state Of
drowsiness, less than sleep, little II
any less than dream, vaguely aware
Of her identity and Of the familiar
gloom of her bedchamber, but still with
brain bemused by the glamour Of that
romance which colored her every
thought were she waking or sleeping,
who for the first time loved and who
knew her love was not wasted.
The little French gilt travelling clock
upon her dressing table chimed once,
softly and sweetly.
simultaneously the door to the ad-
Joining drawing room was opened just
far enough to frame the amiable fea-
lures of her maid.
The girl in sleepy voice inquired
the hour.
Informed that 1t was just half after
eleven she sat up smartly with little
exclamation of dismay:
"And Captain Parr calling at one to
take me to lunch Mt Claremontw
Immediately Patria slipped from be-
tween the sheets and into gossamer
garment so exquisite that 1t were sheer
profanity to name 1t bathrobe.
So 1t was nearly midday before, once
more abed but now wide awake, and
all a-tingle with the vitality stimu-
lated by cold plunge, she disposed
of poor apology for a breakfast, and
skinned through her mornings mail.
In 1t was note from Rodney's
mother, Mrs. Gilbert Wrenn.
Her complaints were gentle but in
cessant. They must be answered.
Patria selected telegraph form and
wrote swiftly:

Athwart the Rail.
to journey to Newport, Parr was ar
rested on a warrant charging him with
assault and battery on the person Of
one Jules Edouard
Protestations and credentials alike
availed Captain Parr nothing. He was
without choice other than to accom-
pany the detectives who served the
warrant. And by the time brief talk
with magistrate had set him free
(the complainant in the case being no.
where to be found) he had missed his
boat.
He did not for an instant doubt his
arrest had been deliberately planned
in order to prevent his accompanying
Miss Claiming.
But it was too late to do more than
send her wireless explaining what
had detained him, promising to be with
her in Newport the next morning, and
warning her to be on her guard.
Patria wandered uneasily, unhappily,
about the decks long after the major
ity Of passengers had sought their
staterOoms.
Even after midnight Patria fingered
on deck, rather than return to the
stuffiness of her stateroOm.
Resting her forearm on the rail, she
stared blindly into the clear darkness
Of moonlight night.
A light football started Patria out
Of the somberest Of reveries.
Without the least warning a thick
soft cloth, like heavy woolen band
age, enveloped Patria's head.
She essayed to scream, and the
folds Of cloth settled between her
teeth, well-nigh choking her.
Other hands seized her legs. She
fought desperately. in blind panic, to
no avail. Relentlessly she was lifted
and thrown bodily athwart the rail.
Then she was free Of the hands,
but hurtling down the side of the
ship.
Shouting waters leaped to receive
her. She went under, came up stran-
Cling then let the waves have
their will of her while she fought to
free her head of the bandage.
By the time this had been accom-
plished she was far astern.
In the stateroom adjoining that oc
cupied by Fanny Adair, a woman in
nurses garb consulted wrist watch,
then nodded brusquely to girl who
stood supporting herself with both
hands on the foot of brass bed
stead-a girl whose eyes, watching
the nurse, were as the eyes of Patria
Charming, wide with fright, even rs the
rest Of her was Patria Claiming to this
life.
you'd best shift now," said the
nurse with nod toward the forward
stateroom. I'm two minutes more"-
she grinned grimly-"Tm going to
whoop and carry on about your sui
cidew
With u short dry gasp of terror
and disgust, the girl who looked like
Patria tore herself away from the bed
and reeled out to the deck.
The door to the next stateroom was
open. The light within sllhouetted
the form Of Mrs. Adair-Fanny with
CHASTITY face and every limb trem-
bling beneath her frivolous silken
negligee.
Blindly the girl stumbled in and shut
the door and put her back to 1t.
For moment the two stared at
each other with eyes Of horror.
Then Fanny gasped one word:
"Elaine"
The other interrupted with passion
ate protest informing her In tremulous
accents:
Don't call me Elaine! Don't you
