Engaged. to do

Eugene sat up, startled. Engaged to do
what?"
There is no reason should not tell you, Miss
Forbes now that my work Is done. Engaged to
discover the whereabouts of one Alexandra
Pascal. OF course, the silly young wife of my
employer soon confessed that her declaration
about the young singer was merely to force him
to q naison he had done everything to avoid.
Many husbands would have let the matter rest
But Pascal had disappeared his career blighted.
My employer determined to right the wrong
done, that's ALL
"But-you couldn't find him?"
"Not a trace, Miss Forbes. We discovered
by reference to correspondence with the COM
pany that his name was not even Pascal, but
we could not discover what his true name was.
After that there was nothing story of some
one singing in a Nevada mining camp as no
miner could possibly sing. When got there
he had gone. And then one time because as I
told you, was there that night in Chicago it
occurred to me that where his Manon was
there one day would find my DIES Grteux."
Eugenie's hand was against her heart. "You
found him?"
Would you care to walk few steps, Miss
Forbes? win show you just where I found
him-and how I knew. There is little lake

enough. have seen impresarios listening to
the singing in that cafe. I saw one there last
night listening to-but you shall hear"
She leaned upon Torres arm all the way
until they were within few PAGES of the place
and could see through the trees its lights re-
hected on the water and hear a babble of
argument, which Eugenie's knowledge of Italian
was just enough to make out.
There was sort of cheer in the end and
then quiet voice she would recognize no mat
ter what the tongue:
Very well, my friends, have told you do
not wish to sing. Once 1 vowed that would
not. And yet once also threw all my happi-
ness into the southern seas. because when the
spell is on me I cannot help it. SO what shall
sing? Who has the guitar?"
Eugene reached out for Torres shoulder to
steady herself but neither Torres nor his
shoulder were there. He had left her alone to
listen to that voice filling the night with
message which was meant only for her-"South
winds-blcwn from afar-whisper love you
wherever you are"
She took step forward at the end. Had she
been singing. too? Their faces all had a
startled, wondering look and the face of the
one leaning against the bar In his well worn
riding clothes and soft white shirt was as if
he had first seen light. It was Michael Hope

Soon afterward the guns were dismounted
and the magazines emptied. The sentries
ceased to patrol their well-worn beats. Finally
the garrison was paraded at the fort and the
flag was lowered for the last time. The fort
was deserted and within few years had dis
