The girl looked up.
mo One." she said, could be of the
slightest service"
"Mademoiselle is crazy" the young man
explained. LAS for me - she is running my
chances"
Would it be too much to ask you if you
would join me in bottle of wine and perhaps
little supper?" the General invited.
Thank you," the girl replied. II do not
drink wine and do not wish for any supper"
"You won't even tell me what is wrong?"
II will" Raymond declared, suddenly.
Listen. We have contract. We are supposed
to be partners. have wonderful offer to
dance at Nice and at Monte Carlo. She will
not co.
Nothing would induce me to dance at
either place" the girl said.
Furthermore" Raymond went on, people
on the Riviera nowadays are more particular
than they were. They like dancing partners
to be married. l wish to marry Miss jose
phine and she refuses"
There was bitter smile upon the girls
lips. We'll would not anyone9" She picked
up her cloak "You will be so kind as to excuse
me, sir" she said turning to Besserley.
He held the curtain in his hand but barred
the way for a moment.
II should like to talk to you about your
future" he said. For two or three days /
shall be on my boat, the Echo, in Garoupe
Bay. You would be welcome at any time you
chose to pay me CALL Permit me.''
He drew aside the curtain. The girl passed
swiftly out without speech or thanks and
disappeared.
The owner of the yacht, at sound of the
splash, dropped his pipe on the deck and
peered into the darkness
Hello he called out. ANYONE therer
There was no direct response but he fancied
that he caught the sound of cry of terror
partly suppressed He turned on the electric
light which hung over his head Not twenty
yards away was an overturned rowing boat
and the shadow of some dark object in the
water. He tore off his coat and kicked off his
slippers.
Bring the dinghy round, Auguste," he
shouted through the open galley. Someone
is in trouble out there"
He stepped over the rail and dived in,
swimming with long powerful strokes towards
the boat. At first there was nothing to be
seen, then to his horror he caught glimpse
of white face the slim body of a girl just
below the surface. He swan round and got
his hand underneath her neck.
Don't struggle please" he begged. Lie
on your back and float if you can"
There were no signs that the person whom

her rescuer.
II will tell you, she promised, "why have
lost hope in the world"
Little fool, he exclaimed kindly. "At your
age you have not learnt yet what there may
be to live for"
II have learnt" she answered sadly, why
death is more desirable. My mother was a
singer and ddnseuse in Paris Two years ago
she died and was left alone. had hardly
been outside convent school, The only per-
son l knew was the man who procured

And very good one. should think,
when you try" he remarked you were not
trying at Cannes the night before last"
II loathe that sort of dancing" she told
him. Il have found something better to do,
dancing that love, but with it l cannot keep
a roof over my head"
why did you refuse to dance at Nice or
Monte Carlo1"
Because my mother begged me, if ever
earned my living dancing, never to dance at
those places. They were near my grandmother
home. We were all so alike that she was afraid
might be recognized"
And your name Is Josephine!

not matter. My mother was treated cruelty
by her family. would never approach them"
"Who helped you dance, produce what you
feel so wonderfully, as you did the other
night?"
1T is someone, alas who is as poor as am.
His name is Pierre Rostard. All that we had

There was sudden light in her eyes.

she explained. II would rather starve than

he was gripping either heard or understood
Her inertness, however. made BessereyS
task easier Auguste brought round the
dinghy and together they lifted her on board
the yacht and down into Besserley's cabin.
He bent over her.
''She was only in the sea a few minutes"
he declared. Get me a blanket. That's
right"
He chafed the girls hands, drew off her
soaking shoes and stockings and rubbed her
feet gently
Nov then, young lady," he enjoined,
"open your eyes, please. You will have to get
rid of those clothes"
She obeyed and Besserley knew that this
strange thing had indeed happened. Her face
was deathly pale, her hair was dripping and
her deeply set eyes had not lost that dull gaze
of despair. Nevertheless, she was easily
recognizable.
"You are the monsieur who asked me to
pay him a visit1" she murmured drearily.
II have come"
What made you fall out of the boat?" he
asked.

self rummaging in his wardrobe. Presently he
produced huge coat and couple of sweaters.
Auguste reappeared with a tumblerful of
cherry whisky.
Drink half of that slowly" Besserley
ordered. Then replace your clothes with
these things. When you are well wrapped,
call out. l shall be in the little salon beyond
Besserley sat in the salon and gazed out
of the opposite portfolio. For a time his efforts
to concentrate upon the immediate situation
were hopeless. He could see only that strangely
beautiful old lady with the unearthly light in
her eyes, as she looked towards eternity; the
girl in the barn gazing through its white
washed walls; the d0Nsense at the casino with
her scornful indrawn lips and eyes wilfully
averted from the business of the moment.
Once more, when he was summoned into his
cabin, he saw those eyes turned towards him
from the heap of the crumpled blankets upon
the bed He pulled himself together with an
effort
"Well1" he enquired. do you feel yourself
again2"
YES" she answered. with voice unex-
pectedly strong. II am sorry to have been so
troublesome. Still, you had better let me
drown 1t would have been kinder"
He took her delicate fingers in his.
Look here" he expostulated, and this
time his tone was kindlier, though still trife
gruff. There is nothing about me to be afraid
of. Take another sip of that stuff and tell me
why you tried to do this thing
She reflected for moment. Then she raised

contided, although thought that was won

| once knew"
Am to feel jealous?"
Besserley shook his head.
The woman of whom she reminded me"
he told her. had one foot in heaven"
The tOilers were scarcely at work in the
fields on the following morning when General
Besserley was knocking at the door of the
farmhouse next to the padlocked barn. The
woman who answered his summons was
voluble but dscouraging. Mademoiselle and
her maid and the strange young man who
PLAYED the music had taken their things away
after midnight She did not know their
address, She did not even know their names.
Besserley spoke to Others, who lived nearby
or in the village They knew nothing. They
cared less He left the district in disappoint
ment which amounted to disgust.
Fortune came to him that night, however
As he glanced round the restaurant of the
casino for a supper table, a curtain by the
side OF the stage only few feet away was
lifted for moment and he found himself
looking straight into the eyes of the girl whom
he was seeking!
Besserley took his seat ordered wine and
supper, which he had little intention Of eating
and waited. Presently the usual signal for a
turn was given by the orchestra. The guests
who were dancing left the floor. The girl and
young man came through the curtains and
commenced their evolutions. Besserley glanced
at programme which had been placed upon
his table and stared at it. The names of the
dancers were Josephine and Raymond. -.
The man danced we'll enough. The girl re-
sembled marionette more than human
being. 1t was obvious that some antagonism
existed between them. She seemed frozen by

when they were performing the most COM

They disappeared behind the curtain, and
almost before it dropped Besserley heard the
mans voice raised in anger. He touched

the manager. who hurried up.
Everything is all right. hope. General?"
the latter asked anxiously.

He followed the manager
behind the curtains. The two
occupants of the room looked
round angrily.

said austerely. This gentle
man is one of our most valued
patrons - General Besserley.
