Lucille followed him quietly, almost meekly They had but little to say to each other. Both knew the other's thoughts too well to waste time in words; both knew the other's relent lessors of purpose. And, more than anything and everything else, both knew that the fight between them must be settled very shortly, thttt any move must be made quickly. Lucille slipped out of the hotel the second day, undecided as to what to do and earing little to plan or plot. For always there wbb to be paekOMd with Thompson, who had turned against his former master. Ibompson was the man upon whom she convinced herself with feminine intuition she must depend Thompson would lay open a way. And the hate of Thomp son would turn Itself against the hate of Ixmlieque and then her own great love would have Its innings. And In this mood, for the first time since leaving Manila ho abruptly In the aeroplane of llarley, her thought turned from the sweetheart she felt was In the city to the thought of meet ing blm.

"If i pay you well," ahe whispered eagerly, "would yon let me dance In your place tha next time pay you pay you $Ui lTiOur she added aa tha girl regarded her suspiciously. "Five hundred dollars!"

"What line, miss?" Lucille slowly recalled an old Span nth dance she had learned years before, one ahe had danced In private theatri cals Tin- 1 ibarct dancer whispered to a young man In the corner who took his guitar from lis caeo and thrummed lightly until Lucille nodded "You'll do." th,. girl said fire mluutea later, then, with n tinge of envy la In 1 voice and eyes, "dead sure you ain't after no J0I1V" I. ii- 111,- pressed the money upon her, warmly assuring her over and over again thai such waa nut her Intention. "All right then You're due lu half an hour I II lit It wllh tha manager and put the orchestra leader wise to the game Ihe dress ain't quit tho tuff fer " Lucille nodded gnyly.

A gasp of nurprl.se followed ber appear ance, men and women leaned forward, forgetful of their dinner, lured by bar Info. tloiiH grace and charm. But oho bad eyes for but one man, tha Inter national spy, who, a surprised, pas zled expression on hla face leaned fur forward lu Ids elinlr, watching this woman who danced ao wonderfully. Then suddenly the music changed. Lucille Unshed 11 glauce at Loubeque nd from thai moment danced te blm and blm alone It was perfectly ob vious to every one in the room.

For Just u second bla splendid mouth gaped, than, wllh eyes that ahot strange II res at her, Ms palnni crackled vigorously together as be led off tho whirl wind of applause that not tho glasses mid cutlery dancing. Tho or chestral leader waved bis baton toward Lucille for an encore, and from her chair nppusiic lyiubeque, into which ha hud sunk, she half rose to re spond with a bow. "My Hod!" Tbe voice waa bourse, terrifying In Its MltcruesH, Its scum Lucille turned, afurtled; then, Involuntarily, bar haado reached out toward the man who waa standing, tense, n horrified expression of disgust sod unbelief upon his coun tenance. "Dick!" ahe quavered. Lieutenant Hlhaou moved away aa her slender figure awayed toward blm. Her bauds were upon hi wrists. Ha looked at I hem a second then alowly delaehed them and turned away, leav ing the grout room, leaving behind tho woman whu hud dared everything for him And Lucille, the radiant face of a moment before gone Into a mask, a frigid, icy mask, watched blm aa, with out turning, be left ber alona to tight flu- buttle for blm. lambcque touched her shoulder sympathetically. "I'oor child. Lucille!" ba murmured. "It wua Qibaon. After all you might have believed of him, to have him turn that way distantly" "Dick Is a man," ahe smiled sadly. "Man la full of uiplcloo.
