New York City, July $50 the
prince caught up with Barbara-the
hard riding, dashing, charming, hand
some young knight about whom she
had dreamed in her ivory tower!
His name was Prince Alexis Midi
vani. .F1e was a prince of Georgia,
Russia, one Of three brothers whose
advent at European watering places
had affiliated feminine hearts.
Perhaps. a Cossack ancestry ac-
counted for. his passion :oraponies-
polo ponies. Princess Babbs later said
he loved his horses more than he low
ed her. The dream had begun to
crack
But not only did he love fast
horses. He loved fast motor cars
which later caused MS death.
Brothers Do Well.
Alexis had been married formerly
to Louise Astor Van Allen, q New
York heiress. His brother, Prince
David had married Mae Murray
movie princess. His other brother
Prince Serge, not to be outdone, had
married Pola Negri, also of the
screen. Divorces terminated all OF
the marriages.
The magic carpet had taken Bar
bara Hutton to Bangkok, Siam. MIDI
vani pursued her even before his di-
vorce From Bangkok came to the
world the news of her engagement

| moon in Julian's shabby car
Perhaps it was only natural.
Noel decided. Ruth couldn't work
with Julian day by day-Julian be-
ing what he was, the most inter-
esting and fascinating man ON
earth-and not fall in love with
| him.
And then Noel remembered
something she had often tried to
forget and could not. Julian's
words and the look of quiet deter.
mination on his face that evening
in the drawing room at Stone
Gate, when he had said so calmly:
1.-THE truth is, have no intention
Of falling in love with you."
He had meant it, too. Julian was
not the type of man to make idle
speeches.
Laurie suddenly broke into
Noels unhappy thoughts. WED
better get to bed, honey"
Eyes, suppose So" Noel agreed
listlessly.
In spite Of Laurie's good news
and the fact that the future was
looking up, Noel couldn't fight out
of her despairing mood.
IF she only knew whether Ruth
Chester was in New Orleans with
Julian or not, she tried to tell her
self it wouldn't matter. 1t was
the uncertainty that made her feel
so blue.
She had started on this adven-
ture to prove to Julian that she
wasn't the parasite he believed her
to be. But it seemed very useless.
even perhaps foolish, to her to-
night. IF she hadn't burned every
bridge behind her, if there had
been any possible loophole left, she
might have given UP and gonel
back. She would have to stick i'll
out, no matter If she did weaken
and want to go back, however,
There wasn't anything else she
could do.
When she awakened the next
morning. Noel had but one
thought. She had to know If Ruth
Chester had gone to New Orleans,
and If Julian had returned. There
was only one way to find out.
So Noel called Julian's Office. To
her surprise Ruth Chester's rich,
contralto voice answered. There
seemed to be slight hesitation at
her end Of the wire when Noel
asked If Doctor Paige had re-
turned. Then Ruth told her that
Doctor Paige was not back yet.
He would probably be away sew
eral days longer.
Anyway, Ruth wasn't with him,
Noel thought happily. But that
night when she came home from
the Peacock, Laurie told her that
Doctor Paige had been at the De:
Luxe for lunch. She had recog-.
nized him by Noel's description;
also because she had heard some:
one call him Doctor Paige. So
Ruth Chester had lied.

SIS. So we won't have to do with
out food"
"And we won't have to duck
out, will wee" Noel exclaimed, and
sank into a chair with feeling of
relief. "Well, we are progressing, !"
she exclaimed a minute later.
''We've both got jobs of-sorts.
We can pay the rent and still eat. "
Noel looked about the room,
which Laurie's efforts had made
far more bearable. The curtains
were back at the windows. and
were actually white and crisp, al
though a little ragged. The rug
looked more faded, but it fairly
bristled with cleanliness. Once she
had wanted to turn from the room
in horror. Now it seemed friendly,
even the grotesque old pitcher sit
ting in the bowl on the funny
washstand was like an old friend.
Laurie's news was still more sur
prising. For her job was that as
cashier in the De Luxe cafe, where
the former cashier had married
unexpectedly.
When Noel thought of Laurie
being in the De Luxe, just across
from the Medical Arts, she was
conscious Of stab of envy. Why,
every day Laurie could look out
the plate glass window and see
Julian as he went in and out the
revolving doors Of the building.
Laurie Of course. didn't realize
what privilege that would be.
Impulsively Noel decided to tell
Laurie little about Julian, so she
would at least recognize him when
she saw him.
II sometimes have lunch or din
ner with young doctor friend at
the De Luxe" she began. Then
told her his name, and gave a brief
description. you'll probably see
him."
Laura smiled. Lots of the doc
tors take their meals at the De
Luxe. And the nurses, too.

eyes, I know" Noel nodded.
Laurie's words naturally made her
think Of Ruth Chester, so COM
petent, so crisp and immaculate in
her white uniforms and white
square-heeled shoes, and so darkly
pretty.
She wondered if Ruth Chester
was with Julian in New Orleans.
She probably was by now. she de-
cided. And New Orleans was such
a romantic city with it's French
quarter, and the old, old houses
with their little balconies and "iron
lace" and all the beautiful century,
old trees with the Spanish moss
hanging SO gracefully from their
branches.
New Orleans was an ideal city
for lovers. And no matter whether
Julian realized how Ruth Chester
felt toward him or not, she would
press every possible advantage. In
her minds eye, Noel could see
them together there. driving
around under the soft southern

Then, on her magic carpet she took
her prince around the world. They

Mdivani told newspaper reporters.
The Dream Fades.
The year after that gala party
Barbara's first dream faded. The
knight who had come out of the east
returned to the east. He went off to
India with his ponies-to play polo.
Barbara returned for the moment to
reality to the harsh reality of the
Reno divorce court.
Meantime, the prince, wearying OF
India, returned to live in splendor in
Paris. He spent thousands of dollars
on a pair of servants imported from
India. Dressed in white ray silk, and
towering turbans, they guarded the
entrance to his living room. That
room was furnished with low white
velvet touches, no chairs. Guests re-
clined against red velvet cushions. 1t

Meanwhile a stern-visaged knight
from the north was riding toward
Reno and Barbara.

she took the liner Chitral from the

CHAPTER 10

THE MAN who had followed
Noel home the night before was at
the Peacock the next evening. He
sat alone in the opposite corner of
the divan from where Luigi usual
ly sat.
When the Peacock closed that
night, he followed her again, keep
ing a distance behind her Of some
IS or 20 feet, not making any at
tempt to catch up with her.
This time Noel was convinced
that the stranger was following
her. It caused her more anxiety
for him to walk behind her, keep
ing the same distance, than it
would have if he had walked up
and accosted her Then she would
have known that he was just an
ordinary masher and would have
quickly put him in his place. She
couldn't imagine why he should
shadow her. Did he have designs
on her precious So?
Noel went into the house, her
breath coming rapidly. She hadn't
dared look behind her when she
had come up on the porch Of the
Court street house, but she had a
feeling that the man had stopped
on the street in front and was still
standing there.
Laurie was in bed, but she was
awake, and she knew at once by
NoePs expression that something
was wrong. When Noel told her,
she got up and peeped through a
tiny slit she made between the
shade and the window. It was
true. A man was standing on the
sidewalk gazing at the house. But
It was too dark to see his face.
what do you suppose he
wants? ?" Noel asked, her voice
tremulous.
''Now, don't worry, Noel"
Laurie said comfortingly. 'He's
just probably got a crush on you,

lved-just somebody from the
Peacock who danced with you."
But Laurie's words were not
very reassuring. Noel thought she
had recognized the Ran she had
seen at Luigi's tonight as the same
man who had followed her last
night. She still couldn't be sure.
But she couldn't help feeling there
was a sinister purpose behind it
all. Everything was going wrong.
Nick Luigi had come out boldly
and asked her to have little din
ner with him in his apartment
which was on the top floor Of the
dance palace.
That had happened just as Noel
was leaving. She had told Luigi
that she was very tired and wanted
to go home.
~All right then, baby" he had
agreed. II can be patient, but
don't make me wait too long,"
Noel had felt that there was a.
threat in his low, tight-lipped
voice. She felt worried about it.
And then there was the rent.
Listen. Laurie" she began,
there's the 81 for tonight, and
with the two from last night, Mrs
Blarsom ought to be satisfied for
while. We can do without eat
