 Leaving the dining room she caught sight of Q dark face in the lobby--a face with two wings of black hair on the cheeks. She drew back into the dining room and slipped behind Q screen. She stayed there a long time. When she lock- cd out again the girl was not in sight. She asked Q waiter to show her the service elevator, gave him handful of francs, and landed in Camilla's suite again, white and breathless.
 "Being blaclmailed is incon- venient," she said. T came up with two breakfasts and Q reading lamp"
 The telephone began to ring. Camilla answered. For you," she signaled to Marcia, but Marcia shook her head.
 Miss Cunningham is not here. You may find her in her own suite," Camilla said casually. "Or I'll take Q message" A second later she replaced her telephone. "The impatient young lady hung up. I think 1t was your black. mailing friend. I want some break fast now. Have some more with me-"
 Later, trying to read the news- papers, Marcia came across soTI1e tabloid headlines. Suddenly she began to see the possibilities Of the headlines that could be put over her own picture.
 Paying the 60,00O francs -blaclE. mall though lt was--would be bet. ter than having her name linked with Pierre's for all the world to see.
 She damned the green hat on her red curls.
 "Where are you going9" Camil- 10 asked lazily from the deep chair where she sat reading new book and swinging silken.covered legs under Q violet negligee.
 "Just-outl"
 The nonchalant attitude disap. peared. Camilla, small and slim and sturdy, was in front of the door. Marcia, just as small and slim and Q little less sturdy, sur. veyed her ruefully.
 "Listen, Marcia, mon enfant, you aren't paying one cent of that money. I'll be your keeper till the boys get back"

 Camilla, curled up on the long couch, was thinking of Q remark that had been made ct dinner--a remark that she was independent self f-reliant; that she didn't get her- self into scrapes from which she needed to be removed. Men liked tc do the rescue act-it made them feel big and manly. She walked to the window and watched the lights for e minute.
 When she turned she spoke tc Marcia. T have twin beds. Let'i have your night things brought up. You spoke of being frightened in your rooms"
 "Thank you, Camilla. You're grand" Marcia answered, reliei suddenly making her Q little weak She had been scared to 90 back tc the suite and had been wondering if she could ask to have another room tonight, or if that, too, would be known.
 When the lights were out at last and 6 cool, wet wind was stirring the curtains, she did not sleep. Sht thought of Bob - funny that hC was growing 50 much less impor- tant. Then she thought of Phil She tried not to. He was Camil. las. He had wanted her for c long time and came to get her Anyway, Camilla was splendit person.
 Tn the bed across from her, ca. milla was thinking about Bob ant wondering why his dark face in' sisted on squeezing in between hel and the white sheep she wal counting in order to 90 to sleep.
 "Oh, drat itl" she spoke out loud, and Marcia, hearing, said nothing. But when she repeated the words, Marcia spoke.
 "Can't you sleep, either?" .
 "Oh, Marcia, I'm sorry. Did waken you? I'm counting white sheep and c black one keeps get- ting into the picture"
 They talked for 0 little while but Camilla fell asleep long before Marcia did. !. When Marcia walk ened 1t was broad daylight ant the hands of the clock said i( o'clock.
