The trouble of 1t all was that Dighton
was both young and possessed of con-
science. More than that, he was in
love with Greta and detested this other
business heartily. Admittedly he was
attracted to the Signorina Pasquali; but
not infatuated. The fervOr of her
whirlwind tactics left him breathless.
He could imagine Marney. witht his
uncanny knowledge of everything that
went on around him, INDUCING in an
appreciative chuckle. Taverner, mad
he been able to realize to the full the
actual trend of affairs, would have been
equally elated. When Mafalda fixed
the adventurer with her big, southern
eyes he felt that Greta was watching
him: when he wrote to her he felt like
criminal
A thousand times he was tempted to
throw in his hand to. take the hrst
train homeward with the admission to
Taverner that he was a failure. And
yet an admission of failure was. the
one thing of which he was utterly In
capable.
The moods of Mafalda were as
extraordinary as they were varied. Al
times she would treat him as her father
confessor, regretting incidents in hel
life and imploring his forgiveness.
You see. caro- mio," she would eX-
plain, "a woman is just as she is made
1t is terrible to have beauty and tenn
perament-and no money! And
could not possibly foresee that YOU
would come"
On one of their rambles along the
coast beyond the eastward extremities
of Rapallo they had come upon a
skeleton of building that for some
reason had never been completed.
It's foundations were in the cliff anC

out in normal times to meet.
so you have kept your word.' was
her greeting.
Dighton paused in front of her.
You speak as if you were sur
prised"
Mafalda favored him with a curious
smile.
1T would be both unwise and i'll
hammered" she declared, Ito show you
that was delighted"
In the days that followed Dighton
suffered many twinges of conscience.
He had looked upon the course Tav-
erner had chosen for him as difficult
and, quite probably, dangerous. 1t had
never daWned upon him Tor one instant
that Mafalda would be seriously at
tracted to him. II he had considered
her feelings at all, he had viewed her
in the light of more or less immoral
woman to whom a succession of love
affairs was part and parcel of her eX-
iStence. He did not suppose that her
affair with him would be regarded in
a serious light or that after it had run
it's brief course it would leave any last
ing mark on her. In this, as it speedily
TRANSFERRED, his calculations were at
fault.
A succession Of picnics at Rocco,
Portofino Vetta or Carasco, secret
theater trips to Genoa, drives to Chi
avari or Nervi left him fearful lest the
news Of their intrigue should drift to
the ears of the unsuspecting Ahlberg
He wondered how long 1t would be be-
fore her mine of plausible excuses to
this bearded giant would give out, be-
fore they would wear too thin to be
even credible
From the date Of their first assigna-
ton the role of hunter had passed from
him to her. 1t was she who planned
these meetings and worked herself up
into jealous fury If he demurred.

be confined in so small compass that
the one round would account for them.
No, the Villa Sabine was to all in
tents and purposes impregnable, eX-
cept by artifice Future and more
thorough surveys of this field OF en-
terprise might reveal points which
both Marney and himself had over
looked; but only Mafalda and Ahlborg
could approach the building I'M
challenged and with impunity, and 1t
was through the former that he must
eventually obtain admittance.
He would drop in at Marney's lodg--
ings that evening and see If he mad
returned. AS soon as he had found
him, he would intrust the weapon to
him for safe transit to Taverner The
recovery of the Pocket Death would
be sop to the chief. 1t would assure
him that Dighton had not been idle
and keep him from worrying over the
long period of apparent inactivity
which the adventurer felt must neces-
sarily follow. You could not walk up
to a girl like Mafalda Pasquali and
say: Il think you are absolutely
charming. Please take me nome with
you to Ahlborg's villa!" A question
of this nature had to be approached

be insinuated, rather than voiced, at
a time when she was sufficiently IN
fuenced to be unSuspecting. There
would have to be some strong reason
for selecting the place-and, at the
moment, Dighton could not imagine a
reason that would be in the least bit
convincing. The home of the other
man in an affaire de occur seemed
the last place on earth in which to
prosecute an intrigue.
He stepped from the open hillside
into road running between fisher
mems cottages, with pale sun shining
from a cloudleSS sky turning the keen
air into feeling of an English Spring.
To his left tenement buildings of mod
crate size and weather-beaten aspect
Rugged the waterSide; shabby res
taurant to his right advertised strange
beverages on uninSpiring windows, and
exposed to the open air handful
of accompanied chairs. Immediately
ahead of him. beyond the broad walk
between the houses and the sea, white
yachts and fishing vessels with russell
sails Struggled in horseshoe harbor OF
unsurpassed loneliness.
In this miniature bay OF dreams,
perched on pollard in the shelter of
a wall of rock he found Mafalda.
The sable coat had given place to a
serviceable waterproof. the evening
frock to a costume of knitted wool.
Altogether she looked more human than
when he had first seen her. more like
the type of woman he would have set

was nothing to prevent these beasts
hurting themselves at him from the
bank. Half wild as they were, how
ever, they did not attempt to cross
the boundary line allotted them for
protection, but coursed up and down
it. reminding the traveller at every step
that any attempt at entering the
grounds of the Villa Sabine would en-
tail fatal consequences.
He did not pause at the gates. The
ceaSeleSS din above him was too deaf
ening, and he had no desire to at
tract more attention to himself than
was necessary From a metaled road
which branched presently to his left
he obtained view of the villa and
outbuildings. interrupted only by a, line
of tall trees and the low roof of
porter's lodge.
The one thought at the back of
Dighton's mind when he dropped
down the steep path to Portofino
was that the Villa Sabine was not
going to be broken into too easily.
There was at least a hundred yards
of gravel drive to be traversed before
the square-fronted main building was
reached, and the finest sprinter on
record could not hope to outstep those
hounds. Without the dogs. and assum-
ing Ahlborg had not concealed a bat
terry of his guns in the bushes, access
to the property could be gained from
innumerable points. and there was
ample cover to enable an intruder to
approach the house without being OBJ
served.
Marney had declared that the dogs
could not be poisoned. From a bust
ness point of view, this was a pity.
1t certainly prevented Dighton from
employing methods which went against
the grain. At rough calculation, the
grounds of the villa ran into three acres
and the Alsatians had a free run over
the whole area. Nor was their num-
Der restricted to four for he had de-
tected distant baying of other dogs
from kennels at the rear
of the building. 1t was conceivable
that during the dark hours at least
dozen of these powerful brutes per-
formed guard duty along the fringes
of Ahlborg's territory.
The roofs of Portofino were below
him when he framed the idea of re-
tanning the Pocket Death. repairing
the place where the electrical con-
trivance that fired the charge had
shorted and using the last round on
the dogs when attacked by them in
the midst of desperate raid. The
flaw in this was so obvious that he
discarded it almost Immediately. 1t
was improbable that every dog on the
place would make for him at one time
or, even if they did so, that they would

~ IGHTON nodded.

They both laughed.
AS he pressed his lips to her hand
he remembered something.

all of it. We will say nothing about
our assassin, my struggle with him or
his gun. His body will be washed up
tomorrow, you understand, and it is
better to know nothing about these
things"
A white forefnger rested across her
tips.

absolutely sealed"
Ten stairs above him she turned

bow who that man waS?"

She glanced out to sea.
1T is strange that he should have

mask, too! I shall dream of It'll
Buona notte, carol"
She was gone with that, and Digh-
ton watched her slim form passing
from one flight to the other until the
summit was reached.
Before following her example he
3lled and lit pipe. Scanning the
entire coast line within view, he found
no trace of his recent antagonist
Unless he managed to see the body
after fishermen had brought it in, the
= identity of the Lizard would never be
revealed. The realization of this left
him disappointed. Unsolved mysteries
were always unsatisfactory. And yet,
after all, the only thing that really
mattered was the fact that his enemy
had ceased to exist.
Dighton did not go back for an
other dance. He crossed to the hotel
by the bridge and ordered a drink
from his room. He ordered double
whisky-and felt that he, had earned
1t. 1t was the remedy Taverner would
have advised-a nightcap to an adj
venture of which Taverner would have
approved.
With the Pocket Death locked in a
suit case, he slept soundly-as soundly
in fact, as any ordinary guest who
had travelled south for his health. He
had not dealt with Ahlborg yet, the
Lizard was polluting the Mediterranean
, and he had rendezvous on the NOR
row with the bewitching Mafalda!
His last waking thought concerned
Marney. He wondered how long it
would be before the little American
made his way to the room at the back
of the fruiterer's shop in the Via Emilia.
When that worthy did come to town
he would have news for him.
On the following morning Dighton
breakfasted early and went out. Half
an hours stiff walking over wooded
hillsides brought him to lane that
was little more than cart track
which led him between high banks
toward a formidable iron gateway just
visible ahead.
He was within score of yards Of
this when he caught the sound of
heavy bodies crashing through the
bushes to his right. Suddenly, almost
on a level with his head, four enor-
nous wolfhounds came into view,
snarling and barring their fangs in a
