CHAPTER !.

Andrea Pellor stood on the edge Of
the cliff at the back Of the Indian
Ocean hotel and gazed out across
twenty-five miles Of moonlit bay. It
was not for lack of partner that she
stood alone. She had promised this
very extra to four insistent men. but
had excused herself to one after an.
other Of them, Just for a moment.
Just while I powder my nose."
They had all seen her run up the
stairs In the main hallway; they had
not seen her travel steadily on
through the length of the hotel and
the garden. Why had she done It?
That was q question that she herself
could not have answered but that did
not occur to her as matter for solu-
ton, so often had similar impulse
snatched her momentarily away from
q crowded world.
Andrea had a past, but very little
history. She was the only daughter
Of Lord Pellor Of Pellor, land-poor
baron who could distribute Ave titles
among his Eve sons but very little
cash. As result Andrea had lived
the life, If life you can call 1t, Of tab
, ulated impoverished English gentle.
women: Everything that the trafic
will bear for the men Of the family
and for the girl just enough frocks at
her coming out to dissemble the bait
that clothes the hook that catches the
man with millions.
During her first season offers had
come to her; not the measured ad.
vances Of buyers in the maria &c mar.
ket, for about the brow Of such bud.
ding maidenhood as had been hers
there hangs q guardian halo that
blinds the eyes Of sane-aged mep, but
the o'erleaping onslaughts Of youth
maddened hearts.
It was In her fifth season that the
arbiters Of her fate raised the shears
Of destiny and clicked them. He who
fell to her lot was a man of humble
ori(in who had reached the ripe age
Of ffty-eight without ever having had
time to marry. His life, with DIFF.
ference. had been Just as narrow, hide
bound and conventional as had hers.
The difference was that he had trav-
eled the stereotyped Dick Wilmington
trail, to high finance rather than the
social highway. He had started out in
Africa with pack Of cheap jewelry,
an open mind and an easy conscience,
and had emerged after twenty-five
years as one of the few Gentiles in the
combine that controls the worlds dia-
mond output. His wealth was so great
that an ultimate peerage was almost
q matter of course. But, rs usual, an
aristocratic marriage had to come
first.
The contract was as cold-blooded as
any ever perpetrated by royal house.
Allowances, carefully graded. were
stipulated to be paid at fixed times to
Andrea's parents and to each Of her
i've brothers. She herself came in for
. large and inalienable marriage set
Element and was further secured in
such details as to where the town res
idence was to be located as well as to
the number and nature Of the country
places which were to be maintained!
