for a minute, that he should even call
himself IA middle-aged man. The thrill
of youth was in his veins as he
thought of the possibilities of her sug-
gestion, the certainty that she would
be close to him, her arm through his,
those lips, whose fire he had denied
himself, so eager to give, so impatient
of his self-control. He dropped the
blind with a little sigh.
'An enchanting idea" he admitted,
"but I think 1t would scarcely afford
an occasion for serious conversation -
"Why should we talk seriously?"
she demanded. mo one else does
here. Why-why?"
He looked down at her little sadly.

she exclaimed resentfully You al
ways do. / am old enough to know

being treated like a sacred trust"
He led her away, his arm passed
affectionately through hers. Even the
sense of his touch soothed her, and
her anger died away. Passing the

suddenly TO d standstill, looking in

eyes, and q firm mouth. He sat with
a pile of plaques before him and a
somewhat obvious companion by his
side.

and has run it five times-biggest
bank I've seen this season."
Hargrave stood for a moment be-
hind the croupier. Trentino. who had
not noticed his entrance, was watch
ing his stakes with immovable face.
Hargrave leaned forward.
"Banquo," he announced.
There was a little thrill round the
table-an audible murmur of voices.
The croupier, glancing up and recog-
niZing Hargrave, looked across at
Trentino, who made no immediate re-
Spouse. There was something more
than ordinarily grim about the figure
opposte-the figure of the man whom
he had been silently praying might
by this time be lying with a sheet
over his face in that mysterious room
of secrets. There was scarcely a per-
son at the table who expected to see
him accept the challenge. The
throaty murInur of voices was follow
cd by an intense silence as Trentino
nodded almost imperceptibly. He
threw two cards to Hargrave and
laid two in front Of himself
Carte" Hargraye demanded.
Trentino disclosed his own-a 10
and Z. He threw an across the
table. Hargrave threw down two
kings.
HUT" the croupier announced.
This time there was no question of
a throaty murmur, there was a babel
of voices. Trentino sat quite still for
a moment and Hargrave leaned across
toward him.
Your luck this evening is not quite
as usual" he remarked
Trentino inclined his head politely.
If ever murder lurked in mans eyes,
1t looked out from his.
That may yet change" he said.
Hargrave strolled away with Violet
by his side. They passed the trente
ct quarante table, and in the roulette
room Violet peered through a chink in
the blind and looked downwards. She
motioned to her compan Mon with a GEES
ture Of ecstasy. A full. yellow moon
was making fairyland of the little
scene below; the harbor with it's sele0
company of lantern-hung yachts, the
rock of Monaco opposite, the two light
houses, fantastic, like toys from a
child's playbox, the glittering expanse
of sea beyond.
Il think" she suggested wistfully,
that we take the car and drive some
where. Fancy what it would look like
up at La Turbie.''
1t was absurd, Hargrave reflected

LONDON DEBT PACT
WINS ITALIAN 0. K.
Count VoIpi Lauds Generosity
of U. S. and Britain in
Urging Acceptance.
By the Associated Press.


ROME. February 6.--The London
agreement for settlement of Italy's war
debt TO Great Britain was approved
by the Chamber of Deputies yester
day with only one dissenting vote
after Count Eolpi. minister of finance,
and negotiator of the agreement. had
recommended its acceptance.
Count Folpi described the settle
ment as IAN equitable and honest
transaction between nations allied in
war and intimate CollaboratorS in
peace He said it had been made
after the most friendly discussion
and was not connected with any other
economic or political problems or
engagements.
England. he asserted. had taken
into consideration 1taly's need to
limit her sacrifice because of the re-
QuirementS for reconstruction OF the
country and the impossibility OF
placing further burdens on already
heavily taxed citizens.
Because of the spirit of cordial
friendliness shown by the United
States and Great Britain" said Count
Nolpi. "Italys finance has been freed
from a burden of many billions of
lire and her obligations reduced 20
an effective sum of 1S,0OO.0OO.00o lire,
payable over 50 years. Italy has no
more debts: instead she has war
credits to a certain amount.
He pointed out that the early pay
ments under the debt funding agree
nents would be covered by Italy's re-
ceipts under the Dawes plan.
With the Washington and Lon
don accords," he continued. the
Fascist government is the first
among the great powers, except the
British to pay its war debts.

would contest the Will when IL was
filed for probate.
Senator Hincklev asserted that Abe
Hummel, in describing himself in the
will as a bachelor, nullified its terms.
He said young Hummel could prove
the statement false, and thereby
have grounds for a contest OF the
Will. If Abe IIummel had not so
classified himself, Senator Hinckley
said, Henry D. Hummel probably
would not have had grounds for a
successful claim to the estate.

SPRING BONNET MODELS
ARE APPEARING IN PARIS

Wide Enough.

PARIS. February 6.-The Paris Mil
liners never rest in their quest for
new designs, and the aim of many Of
Them seems To be a hat a week. even
in dull seasons, or 81 new models a
year. The rate of production is great
err at the beginning of each season.
but new ideas are produced through
out the year and new hats spring up
like gaudy mushrooms on the Paris
bouleVardS.
The Spring models already are APP
pearing. to meet the longing for new
headwear which every woman seems
TO feel at the first faint indications of
Winters breaking. The choice is wide
enough. There are beretS. turbans,
hats with pokes in front and dips al
the sides. cloches, toques, hats with
twisted brims or folded crowns.
Green and many shades of red seem
to be the predominating colors. sim
plicity is the prevailing characteristic.
although there is much use of ribbon
trimming.
