Smythe had devoted himself to an
amorous siege. And Ashtoreth, excit-
eddy convinced that she was playing
with fire, lent herself lf-heartedly
to his opportunities. They danced
beautifully together.
Once to Mademoiselle she said.

The Jade ornament that she wore
about her neck swung ont into the
sunshine. She beat her hands ex-

Smythe took the ornament be-
