Blade had seen her evening after evening,
gazing in at his window. He had scraped her
acquaintance and discovered that she was the
daughter of an old friend. He'd wanted to do
something for her. He'd paid for her cruise
to help her snatch husband. The only
trouble with this solution was Blade. His
manner in seeing her off had been distinctly
not honest. And why the box? What was in
the box2 Had anyone else told him the story
of the box, he would have branded it as
preposterous. To prove to himself his utter
faith in her, impulsively. he sent wireless to
his uncle: WOULD LIKE TO BE DIS
MISSED FROM CASE. WILL REFUND
EXPENDITURES"
There was no reply.
In the days that followed he made no
Roadway with Polly. Sometimes he thought
she regretted having given him her con-
fdence. Or was it that his unwillingness to
listen to her had offended her? Or was it
merely that she was popular? She was never
alone The moment Ross attempted to walk
off with her, someone would join them. He
took to sitting little apart and watching her.
Their first island of call was Martinique.
The evening before they landed, while he
danced with her on deck, he asked, What
are your plans for tomorrow"
i've made none
Then will you come ashore with me?'
I'D love to-
But the launch was packed with her ad
mrers. In the automobile which they hired,
he rode with rivals. Wherever they halted, her
court drew up behind them. They sat in the
cafes of Fort de France, bathed in the bril-
liant sea of liquid glass. dined beneath palms
and danced in the Savanna by moonlight; but
always as mob Back in his cabin that night
he was desperate. She had shown tenderness;
but it had been the impersonal tenderness of
HAPPY child.
After Martinique they arrived each morn
ing for the next two days at new island.
Then after longer sail, they reached La
Guaira That evening as he was watching the
dancing. Polly approached him.
1--WE scarcely seen you all day. Won't you
ask me to dancer"
Rising with alacrity, he led her back to
the floor. As his arm went about her, he
could feel her excitement.
There's no privacy. Where can we TALK"
she whispered. "Ill slip away. as though |

Partly business" She clucked her tongue
but that's something l was requested not
to mention"
I'm partly on business. too" he confided.
"Ill bet we're the only passengers aboard
who're not taking this cruise solely for pleas
ure The chance was flung at me quite
suddenly"
so it was at me-" she nodded. II can
still hardly believe - I'm afraid I'll wake up.
Before that happens, l intend to snatch every
inch of gladness."
IF you're free this evening, let's take
coffee together" he suggested when she left
him to dress for dinner.
I'D adore it."
He was the first passenger at his table,
As he dawdled over his meal he felt ridicu-
lousy happy A miracle had happened -
love at first sight!
He glanced across his shoulder She was
entering, wearing black evening gown,
which made her golden head and fair skin
dazzling A steward came forward and seated
her at the table that had been pointed out to
Ross at lunchtime as Miss Maddoxs.
Ross spoke to his steward. Isn't that Miss
Maddox's table'"
The man promised to find out, and dis
appeared.
That's Miss Maddox herself, sir" he said
upon his return.
Ross felt inclined to laugh. Here was
uotesque mistake; he'd been sent on a Wild
goose chase. Every day of Polly Maddox's
life would bear inspection. He'd make a clean
breast to her, invite her explanation and
wireless it to the Office.
He tried to imagine what explanation she
would make. She was on Jim Blades business
obviously. Julie Blade had discovered that
he'd paid for her passage and had grown
suspicious If the busines7 were explained,
everything would be set right. But would it?
What business could girl with Polly
Maddox's qualifications transact in the West
Indies? 1t must be extraordinarily profitable
for lin Blade to have out-laid upwards of
thousand dollars.
Then he considered how the girl would
react to his confession that he'd been hired
to SOY on her. He stole glance in her
direction. Two male passengers had joined
her, and were paying her good deal of
attention.
In the smoking room, while Ross waited for

minutes later follow me to the
boat-deck."
The boat-deck was dark and
deserted. He had almost passed
her when she called to him. Seat
ing himself beside her, he CROPPED
for her hand.
"At last" he said. why have
you avoided me? Is it because of
something I've done, Cinderella"
you've done nothing, Ross"
Then why?'
Because didn't want to
drag you into this. But l need
advice. I'm frightened. You re-
member the box. 1t has to be
delivered. received the address
by wireless this evening. Just the
address and nothing more. Here
it is, a street number in Willem-
stad."
That's where we land to-
morrow the capital of
Curacao, the Dutch island. But
what's so frightening?" he tried
to soothe her.
Everything. Something's not
straight. Why should MIR. Blade
have gone to all this expense to
have me take a box for him to
CURACAO? Why didn't he tell me
the address before we sailed?
What's more odd, he signs his
wireless James, a name by which
never called him."
IF one chose to be suspi-
cious," Ross spoke thoughtfully.
There are other questions one
could ask. For instance, why he
selected you to be his messenger"
Because no one knows that
he and l are acquainted" she
guessed promptly. "And Viii

Nothing will be examined that

her, he was still debating whether
to tell her. The moment he saw
her approaching, he decided that
to reveal to her that she was the
target of such ugliness would be
insulting.
did you see those two men
at my table?" she flashed at him
as she seated herself. The white
headed one is Mr.. Croft. the
banker. The younger one is Phil
Maxwell, the polo player. Phil
Maxwell and l discovered that
we'd ridden horses in the same
shows. That was before my
father crashed"
"How long ago?" Ross asked
sympatheticaliy.
Five years. 1t was the end of
Daddy. Everything had to be
sold. Since then But why talk
about it?"
why not2"
Because on this trip" she
said smilingly, I'm Cinderella
at the Ball. When the clock
strikes midnight, which will be
at the end of the voyage - But
I'm talking too much"
Where does Jim Blade fit
into the Cinderella story3" Ross
inquired.
"You disapprove of him." she
accused him. IF you -" She
broke off. There are Phil Max
well and Mr.. Croft. Let's ask
them to join U.S." That was the
end of privacy.
As the evening grew late.
Maxwell asked the girl to take a
stroll on deck. Ross waited IN
vain for her return; then took
himself off to his cabin with the
disquieting knowledge that he
had a rival.
In the morning he was awak-
ened by his bedroom steward.
