I was more than half-minded to go
with her, and but for monsieur's expIfc-

Claire came to her senses-I should
not have let her go off that way, even
with Billy, though l knew that so far
as devoted perfect care went, he'd give
it to her as well as I. More accepta-

monsieur's surreptiticus return for
words alone with me marked a change
in the current of events. Had he al

was he prepared to drop on her with
the law? Certainly had already no.

something he hadn't the night before
when he threw himself on my mercy
and implored me to help him.
He'd shed his pleading attitude
that was how summed him up in my
new impression; and when a person
does that it's either because he doesn't
care or holds the whip! I was bound
to see him and find out; and Claire
and Billy went away together, Billy
wearing a grim do-or-die, trust-me-ab-
solutely expression on his round young
face connecting appreciation of his
grave responsibility.

GAY AND POPULAR RESORT
Biarritz, in Southern France, Noted
as the Scene of European Fri
volity and Fashion.

One of the gayest and most popu-
lar watering resorts Of Europe is Biar-
ritz in France, about forty miles from
the Spanish border. Its nearness to
Spain has colored its language and ar
chitecture somewhat, giving it the pic
turesquenesS of both countries. 1t is
a beautiful place, with it's cream-col-
ored. red-rOofed villas, dark pine trees,
winding walks and crescent of white
sandy beach guarded at either end by
high, rocky bluffs, rising abruptly from
the sea. Before the war it was the
scene of frivolity and fashion, rival
ing Monte Carlo in its gambling, dane
ing and display. 1t was a favorite
resort with one of England's more
playful kings in his lighter moments.
Indeed, its main street is called Rue
Edouard VII in honor of him.
The war brought d sudden change
of mood TO Biarritz. Its gambling ca
sfnos and hotels were turned into hos
pitfalls for wounded French, and later
American soldiers. Grim conveys of
warships passed close to it's shores on
their way through the Bay of Biscay.
Numerous ships were torpedoed in
sight of the shore by the German sub
marines lurking along the Spanish
coast. The coast was heavily mined,
and from time to time the defamation
of a mine would shake the town.

Claire just then stirred, and we
thought she was coming to, but she

front door, indicating that If didn't

we left it." ...

knees and searching my face for the
assurance.
I responded with something very
like a glare-Billy was really taking

Billy-who answered the ring
snapped out: "Let him wait-it's

He slammed the door, for moment

at the noise with her cry: "Oh, man.
