Churches, dropped hints about Tommy
which set Calypso wondering. Shs

not the man he PROGRESSED to be. 50

fessed to be Lord Norheys. and tia
thought that be might be somebody
else gave her a queer little thrill o.
pleasure. II he were not Lord Nor
heys, then he was not bound IN honor
to marry Miss Temple.
She began 70 look at Tommy with
Interest. at first as 4 man whom u
might be her duty 70 marry. later On
as man whom she might be content
to marry even II II were not her duty.
Her view OF Miss Temple changed II
an odd way. Il occurred to her aa
possible that this London dancer
might be one OF those wicked women
who lure young men into enfangle-
ments and then hold them to their
haif-made promises. She came By de-
grees to think OF Miss Temple as 9
nuisance. some one who had no right
TO be there at all. certainly no right
to interfere with Lord Norheys' life.
Tommy could not fail to observe the
change In Calypso's manner. and the
thought that her feelings toward him
were becoming more friendly flled

Tommy was not Colonel Heard any /
more than he was Lord Norheys; but /
he knew he had Colonel Heard's pass
port in his pocket and his party were
entered IN the hotel register as Col.

borne. The king had done that for
them before he went back TO Berlin.
