A Novel by. Harold MacGrath

The conspicuity of the freckles alone
would have marked the high tide Of
his anger, none the less deadly be-
cause of the bantering smile.
And she had patronized him. casual
~ accepted the gift Of his friendship
as one accepted book, box of
candy, or a bouquet of flowers! She
could not have been more astonished
If she had seen a lazy house-cat sud-
denly transformed into a lord of the
jungle. The ridiculous complacency
of her previous attitude came home
to her forcibly; and instantly she
knew that William Grogan was be-
come an integral part of her future.
She was able to grasp this fact hazily.
Strange are the inconsistencies of hui
man nature. An hour ago he might
have passed out of her life and left
only a negligible ripple of regret be-
hind. And now she wanted to hold
this loyalty in hoops of steel
AS William stared into the dark,
handsome face of his prisoner his
heart seemed to drop down, down into
some bottomless pit over which the
winds played gypsy music. Gypsy
music! He saw Il quiet restaurant, a
young woman in fight, man in
evening clothes pursuing, his own in
tervention. The smile on his face,
however, did not waver.
"Well, Sir Hirlbert," he drawled,
I'VE meet again."
Take your hands off my shoulders"
cried the stranger, angrily. There
was something vaguely familiar about
this truculent though smiling face so
close to his own, but in that moment
he could not recollect where he had
seen it.

can you? Listen. If you ever see me
again, cross over to the other side of
the street. That's all for this morn

William dropped his hands and
stepped back quietly, ready in case
the other made hostile move, which
William naturally hoped he would.

CHAPTER XII.

At the side Of the doorway leading
into one of those amazing Venetian
glass shops stood two carabinieri.
They were watching the little scene
curiously, wondering II they would be
called in to take part. In st. Marks
the carabinieri are always watching.
There Is at least one spot In Italy
where a woman may walk alone, as
sured Of protection. So these two
watched and waited. The smile on
williams face puzzled them. They
did not see his eyes as Ruth did.
To her the smile was not puzzle.

behind 1t. The eyes seemed actually

settled his deranged coat-collar and
turned to the carabinieri. who had
moved forward. His Italian was
good. The carabinieri listened pas
sively.
Ruth knew only few Italian
phrases, not enough to permit her to
follow this monologue; but instinct
warned her that a very bad case was
being made out against william.
She interrupted. Non g vero! non
vero!" CIT is not truee) She laid
her hand upon Williams arm and
smiled with a confidence she did not
feel.
One of the carabinieri smiled back
at her, looked calmly into the
strangers face, and made a simple
gesture with his white-gloved hand.
There was protest. The second ges-
ture was imperative. Recognizing
the futility of further argument, the
stranger shrugged and walked away.
Then the carabinieri turned their
backs upon William and Ruth and
strolled across the square. They were
always reluctant to arrest these mad
Ameicans, with their strange ideas Of
personal liberty, their utter disregard
of the laws of the countries they
rushed into and out of breathlessly.
If they could settle such encounters
with simple street justice, it was suf-
ficient. Besides, the young woman
was pretty.

and started off, the old familiar smile
wrinkling his cheeks. He measured
his steps with hers and talked irrele-

faced him. She had been crying, and
he had not suspected!

evidence Of that time Of trial. The
box adjusted to its upper part to re-
ceive prayerbooks had been brutally
forced open. The first Of the cross
bars of the headpiece displayed this
inscription. in heavy Gothic charac-
tiers: "Onkel lebe! Hoch! 3 Nal Hoch!"
Evidently the surname "Onkei'
designated some massive Teuton gen.
eral. AS for the three "hochs'' which
were added, they doubtless expressed
the gratitude of pillagers and van
dals to the chief Of their band. How
ever that was, these barbaric words,
written on the prie-dieu, gave it
grotesque and irritating air. They
made one think of a German free
booter overawing a nun.
One winter evening in the dugout
Ave officers were grouped about an
improvised table-a board on four
stakes. The captain sat on the prize
dieu. on which they had piled some
squares Of tent canvas. Three lieu
tenants and a cadet sat on cartridge

into the game the mechanical inter-
