in O broad band Of shadow under the stars. His eyes became as still, china eyes, trying to pierce the blackness.
 Two indistinct shadows lay be- hind the fog horns. Tino Rossi, the baritone, was talking there in the darkness with Jane.
 "There is no spot on the globe as lovely as the Italian Alps" the singer said. "You should see Cor tina D'Ampezzo under the moon- light-ahl Giant spiny pink peaks soaring into Q blanket of stars"
 Dirk saw an operetic palm lifted heavenward, and two glistening, eager Italian eyes. The light went out, but the voice, as soft as Q caress, went on.
 Kisses and moonlight!" the singer said, signing. We used to 90 there when I was studying sing ing at La Scala. Do you think I am terrible type-speaking of past loves to young girl like you? But you are 50 exclusive. You should know something of romance and gaiety."
 Again Dirk saw the hands flung upward with an impressive, con- tinental gesture. He couldn't budge without disturbing Tino's talk.
 Shall we go back to the bar now?" Tino asked. "The cabaret should be over. I can't sleep with all this moonlight. The islands are ahead. We reach them in the morn- ing. Tomorrow at this hour we'll be high up on the harbor shore, reach- ing for the starsl"
 Dirk could listen no more. He knew that he was in love with Jane and he was jealous.
 He stood by the rail as the pair got up to go. Jane came 50 close to him that he caught the scent of jasmine in her hair. He gripped the rail hard. When he thought the pair was out of sight he lit cig- aret, shielding the flame before his face. After few puffs he walked slowly down the deck, tossed the cigaret away and went back to the ballroom.
 People were beginning to leave. Dirk went straight to Snowshoes and Nora Lane and said, "This party's dying. Let's go aon to the bar"
 Nora Lane laughed. "1'll go" she said, If you'll let me sit quietly in a corner, sip milk punch and talk about shooting ducks with this amazing detective. We're getting along swimmingly."
 What 8 remarkable woman" Snowshoes breathed. "Her husband used to take her along to the blind, and she beat him shooting ducks. It was their first quarrel"
 They all arose, laughing. Dirk looked at Nora Lane. He could see her, walking over the moors toward the duck blind a gun in the crook of her arm. She was the amazing creature

horizon, the baritone, Signor Tino Rossi."
 Again applause rang out. Tino flushed but he did not rise. Instead he looked annoyed.
 No, mol" he said. At last he stood up, bowed and sat down again. T can not sing tonight" he said to Jane.
 "sing, Rossi!" a man called in- sistantly.
 "Singl" became the refrain.
 Tino stood up angrily and put a hand to his throat. T have slight ailment of the larynx. came on this cruise to cure 1t, and am un- der strict orders not to sing. must beg you to excuse me-"
 Nora Lane started the applause, because she couldn't see 8 fellow professional humiliated. But the answering applause was weak, When the orchestra began to play Tino stood up and made as If to leave. Jane had no alternative but to follow.
 T am greatly annoyed" he said. Tt is regretable. We will go up on deck under the stars. We shall be alone"
 Dirk watched them leave, then turned to Nora Lane, at his side. She had an appeal which, to Dirk, was beauty and talent combined. Tn her face he saw a spiritual and intellectual quality he had never met before.
 That man on board" she was saying to Snowshoes, the detective, "The one they call Mamie Jackson I'm sure he's @ notorious black mailer"
 Snowshoes nodded in agreement.
 Unfortunately" the actress went on, my troubles seem to be in headlines all the time. There's no secret about them. But. I have to face extortion and blackmail threats, just the same. They terrify me. I'm afraid I chose the wrong place for a rest"
 For a house detective" Snow shoes put in, "this cruise is about as restful as 8 typhoon. Take a look around you"
 Dirk laughed suddenly. I'm sorry, but a ridiculous thing has happened. My foot has gone asleep"
 Nora Lane smiled. That isn't very complimentary to us, do you think, MT. Blake2"
 ITO be exact" Dirk added, "the whole leg, the one injured on that ski jump, has lost all feeling. It happens occasionally. I'll have to go out on deck, massage it a little and walk up and down. I won't be long. Please excuse me-"
 Dirk walked slowly across the room, trying the leg, putting his foot down with soft tread, all his weight on the other member. It was an ordeal and when he reached the cool deck his forehead was beaded with the sweat of throbbing pain.
 He sat down in 8 deck chair and rubbed the calf of his leg to restore circulation. It didn't take long. He got up then and began to walk out on the open deck under the stars. He stood by the rail and watched the black sky and then the faint phosphorescent glow in the water.
 He threw his head back in the wind and breathed in the air. It was less salty than before. There was a smell of jasmine and of coral reefs; they were nearing the Bahamas now, he knew. He began to pace up and down until he for got that his leg had given him any discomfort. Suddenly he saw a pair of deck chairs that had been placed

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XI

It was the ships gala or cabaret night. More than 200 guests sat at small tables in the great ball. room, surrounding square of poll ished floor. Lights were dimmed. Walters in white mess jackets wove their way in and out, with dunce caps and noise-making favors of red and blue paper. The pas Bengers sat with ships champagne at their elbows.
 The noise rose crescendo until the music began. Several couples were already on the dancing floor when Jane entered with Tino Rossi.
 There was clap or two for the opera star when he took his place at Q choice table, but 1t was as nothing compared with the adula- tion heaped on Nora Lane, when she came in with Dirk. Nora Lane, grand trouper that she was, hadn't let the passengers down. At the ships gala she was one of theml
 Why doesn't the enttainment begin?" Jane asked, and Tino, re- spending to her merest wish, nodded his head to Ken Martin, the master of ceremonies.
 Ken sang. That was not a nov city, for he always sang with his orchestra. But tonight he sang to Linda Bayes. By every note, by his gestures and pantomime, Ken Martin showered love on Linda who sat ct her table, looking up at him.
 Everyone in the room seemed to sense the young couples devotion Do each other. Not even the ap- plause at the end of the song broke bhe spell.
 But the applause brought Jane but of her reverie. She wondered if her eyes were moist. She was afraid that they were.
 Tino smiled at her. "You are 50 like lovely child" he said. And 90 much of Q woman, too"
 Ken stood up to make an an- nouncement. We have with us this evening" he said, lone of the worlds most famous dramatic ac- Dresses. It isn't often a master of ceremonies can introduce such an international star, but tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I have the great pleasure of introducing to you Miss Nora Lane"
 When the actress arose the ap- Plause broke like a clap of thunder. Miss Lane smiled and bowed. Ken Martin Stilled the tumult.
 Miss Lane," he said, "wed be pleased if you would give us a num- Der on our program"
 Nora Lane spread her arms gra- eiously, took long breath, and said, But what can I do for youp"
 A man called, "A bit from your East play!"
 "The PortentP" She laughed. seThat's much too deep and dark but-all right. I'll give you the scene ct the end of the third act"
 The room was breathlessly still. Lights were lowered. Nora Lanes voice was resonant and clear and charged with emotion. She made every listener feel the despair and stark tragedy of her role.
 And then the lights were back and Nora Lane was smiling, and lowing. She sat down amid ap- plause that filled the room.
 Ken Martin tried to talk and eventually was able to be heard. "We have with us this evening an- other international figure" he said "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you . brilliant star on the operatic
