and walked slowly aft, selecting a seques-
tered spot in the lee Of the after gun in
the moonlight.
She had been thinking fondly Of this
moment for two days. and her sense Of
beauty insisted on the picturesque. The
wake Of the Turkana streamed molten sill
yer toward the land of FL Hejaz, pushing
It away from her, as a dark dread region
which could have no part in the realm OF
light and dreams into which she and Allah
were sailing.
After a while she heard his footstep on
the deck behind her, and saw him pacing
to and fro in q puzzled way.
I'm here, Alan" she called.
He came at once and leaned upon the
rail beside her, filling his pipe thought
fully.
What was it, Alan?" she asked. Had
yoH forgotten something?'
''Er-yes-the key of my desk 1t seems
I've lost it,
What were you looking for?"
"Er-nothing-a paper. I'll get the thing
open tomorrow"
WAS it important, Alan dear?" she
asked sweetly.
"Yes, rather But it had no interest for
any one but myself"
"Oh! Not even for met"
For you! Er-Of course not-not for
you. Connie. Just private papers. It
doesn't matter" And then heavily jolly

"Yes, Alan dear-the finest moon, the
sweetest moon, the maddest moon that
ever was" She laughed and laid her fin.
gers on his arm do you believe in moon
madness, AIan?" she asked.
The Washington times., 1919-03-09

@Moon-madness! Oh, say
Because 1 think I'm going mad

What on earthT'-
But with a change Of mien she In
terrupted.
'1s Dawson somewhere SbOut?
"Why, yes, Connie"
'WouId you mind calling hint"
mot at all"
And wonderingly he walked forward and
passed the word down for the valet.
You're sure you feel quite wen. Con-
nie?" he asked, when he joined her again.
Her laughter disconnected him.
Dawson appeared, attired again In his
solemn black, pleasantly subserVient.
Would you mind, Dawson, bringing me
the key tied with pink ribbon which you'll
find upon my dressing tabIe2"
Dawson's expression did not vary BY .
jot.
"Not at all, Miss Constance. A key with
a pink ribbon, 1 think you said? Thank
you, Miss" and he disappeared.
Alan watched him depart, his brow puz-
zled. A pink ribbon and key? What did
she want with key here? What key?
He glanced at her face, which was turned
eagerly up to his iE the moonlight. It was
a very lovely face. He had looked upon
it many times before in the moonlight
tenderly-wistfully- -longingly- and hope
lessly. He knew that looking at it now
would only make the old pain the more
poignant on the morrow. He knew that he
ought to look away, at the sea, the sky,
the moon. anywhere but at the face, but In
stead he seemed to keep on looking at It in
spite Of himself.
II was such a lovely face, and tonight
there were shadows at the eyes and lips,
new shadows that he had never seen be-
fore, which somehow seemed significant Of
the dangers through which they had
passed. But the key! What did Constance
want with a key here?
With an effort he turned away, afraid to
believe the look that he saw in her eyes.
1t had never been there before. But she

like that with never a thought for your

But suppose that you had died, Alan
just suppose that you had. never would
have seen you again to be able to tell you

II was no wonder that she was sur
prised. In the very midst of her remarks
Alan had risen suddenly and was staring
very ixedly at vacancy.

What is it, Alan?"
"Er-nothing. You'll excuse me mo-

And he strobe of hurriedly and disap-
peared down the gangway.

an amused look in her eyes. one hand at
her breast where Alan's letter lay. She

to look at her again.

physical tokens were what he had wanted
Of her, she gave them to him now; her
lips-no longer adolescent, but trembling
with the vows Of womanhood.
For a long moment they stood in the
flood Of tropic moonlight, lost in the mazes
Of their madness. They did not hear the
discreet cough Just behind them. 1t was
repeated more loudly, and they drew apart,
looking at Dawson. In his hand he held a
pink ribbon from which key dangled.
-Ahem! The key you sent me for. Miss
Constance"
"Ah. of course. Thank you, Dawson"
And she took it,
'Is that all. Miss?"
Eyes. that will be ALL Dawson" she said,
smiling.
Dawson inclined his head slightly.
Thank you, Miss" he said soberly.
Connie took the key in her fingers and
handed 1t to Alan.
The key to your desk, Alan-and to
your heart Dawson gave it to me-"

"It was addressed to me, wasn't it?''
Yes, but
You won't discharge Dawson, will you,
Alan?"
He waited moment and then broke into
a laugh, a joyous, ringing laugh. deep from
his brown throat and then caught her in
his arms again.
Discharge Dawson? Oh, say. Connie.
A genius-that's what Dawson is"
"a good genius-yours and mine" she
whispered.
Good old Dawson" said Alan.
