CHAPTER XIV
On the Brink

Vt WAS during the last week of their stay
l in Panama that the inevitable happened.
dinner dance at the hotel precipitated
matters and that night Anne seemed more
than ever irresistible.
She wore a dress of shimmering irdescent
green, a dress that made her blonde lowell
ness more than ever misty and unreal, and
for the first time Steele found it impossible
to maintain his usual attitude of gay CANA
raderie
During dinner their table was surrounded
constantly by gay young officers in crisp
white duck uniforms. While one carried
Anne off to the dancing floor, the others en-
gagged Steele in conversation, but he was
grimly aware of the fact that each man was
awaiting his turn to dance with Anne, and
where in a different mood it would have
amused him, tonight it filled him with an
intense fury.
To look at him no one would have dreamed
of the conflict of emotions seething in him.
Outwardly he was cold as ice, his dark
eyes were inscrutable as they followed Anne S
figure around the room, but conversation
Jagged at the table and more than one man
looked at him curousy and wondered what
he was made of to be able to look at a
woman like Anne with such apparent indif-
ference.
The officers were nearly all young, and in
Panama women were scarce. woman with
as strange a loneliness as Anne possessed
was bound to be besieged with attentions
from the very first day of their arrival; it
had rather delighted Steele to see the men
swarming like moths around her.
But tonight everything was different. To
see her in the arms of another man only
intensified the fact that her love not his,
that actually he had no more privileges than
any of these strangers, and reason as he
would with himself, he could not contem-
plate the thing saneIy, he was in the grip Of
something stronger even than his will.
Anne drifting back to the table after one
of the dances, accOsted him suddenly. "Aren t
you going to dance with me at all tonight?"
But her eyes fell before the flaming look that
he turned quickly on her, and when he rose
a few minutes later and took her in his arms
little shver ran through her and she avoid
ed his eyes.
Toward the end of the dance she suggested
lightly that they go out on the breakwater.
81 must have a rest from those clamOring
men," she said with a ripple of laughter,
land just think how soon we'll be leaving
all this
wistful note had crept into her voice,
and Steele who had been on the point of
refusing her request because he dimIy real
lied that it would not be safe to be alone
with her in the soft-scented darkness, sud
denly yielded to the feeling of recklessness
that had taken possession Of him.
