SybiIs shoulders. You poor girl - don't. dear."
 Sybil contemplated the ring on her left hand thoughtfully. Why | not ?" she demanded.
 Gently Mabel drew her closer. Its so horrible" She shivered. And besides-perhaps Richard didn't go there. Maybe he just found the card"
 Sybii sat up very straight, and shaking Mabels arm away. turned her level gaze upon her friend. Don't be a dumb bell, Mab." she admonished.
 Moore shifted his incredulouS glance from one girl to the other. Perhaps" he offered lameiy, "I'd better go over and talk. to him."
 Good Lord, no! Leave him alone. What good does talking do?" SybiI was angrIy determined. "l don't mean to be rude. but you'll have to let me handle this my own way. Are you coming with me. Mab-or aren't you""
 Mabel turned to her fiance. "Could you come too, Jack?"
 Not chance. dear. l have 10 make Santiago from here. But why don't you go ahead with Syul? We'll let Eustis sleep until you get out. Then tonight could drop over there. and tell him that Sybil is through. I suppose he knows how to reach you at home. Sybil?"

 "Fll help Mabel pack" she told him. and if you'll come to take us to the boat after you make the res ervations. we'll be all ready"

Her bravado had vanished. and all Ter crisp, efficient manner. 'Oh. Mab!" she whispered and it was such a weary. defeated little whisper. "Oh. my dear - my dear whatever shall l do?" CHAPTER NNlIJ
