lady was given a long colored ribbon,

With sudden, low command to Sas-

pressed the muzzle of his gun to his

De Spain stopped halfway through
his sentence. The figure revealed in
the half-light puzzled him at first. Then
it confused and startled him. He saw
it WAS not man at ALL but woman
and a woman than whom he would
rather have seen six men. 1t was Nan

never more attraCtively outlined In
Spain in the morning gray. His face
reflected his chagrined perplexity. He
could already see Mans eyes. They
were bent keenly first on him, then on
his companion, and again on him. De
Spain kept his face down as much as
he dared, and his hat had been pulled
we'll over it from the beginning.
They were now almost abreast. The
very instructive knowledge that her
eyes were bent on his made him steal
glance at her in spite of himself. The
next instant he was shamefacedly
touching his hat. Though nothing
was lost on her, Nan prOfessed not to
see the greeting. When she spoke her
tone was dry with suspicion.
