.. ..SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER I Jack Hilliard,
wealthy New York clubman, hears a
mysterious voice singing in the night
under his window.
II He inserts an advertisement in
a personal ccohiron to find the singer.
He receives a reply.
Ill, IV, V, and VI He visits the
mysterious singer, but she wears a
mask. He falls desperately in love
with her, but he has not seen her face.
The unknown woman gives her name
as Mme. Angot, which is assumed.
They have dinner. She refuses to
see him again.
VII nilliard and Dan Merryhew
decide to go to Italy. Merryhew
loves Kitty Killigrew, a comic opera
singer, who has gone to Italy. Hil
liard receives a black mask in an en
velope. " VIII and IX Hilliard and Mery
hew arrive in Italy and later dine
with Mrs. Stanford, an American So
ciety woman, who tells Hilliard con
siderable about the mysterious wo
with whom he is in love. She is now
posing as an opera singer in Kitty
Killigrew's opera company.

CARABIXIERI. ,
'IGXORI," began Hillard calm
ly, "before you act will you
not do i;ie the honor to ex
plain this visit?"
"It Is not her' s.-id one of the cara
binieri. "It is the master, and not the
servant. This is Signur Ililfnr. is it
not?" he continued, addressing himself
to Hillard. "The slgnor lias a servant
by the name of Giovanni':''
"Yes. And what has lie done to war
rant this visit?"
"It is a matter of seven years." an
swered the spokesman. "Your serv
ant attempted to kill an otlicer in
Home. I.uixi hero, who was then in
terested lu the ease in Home, thought
he recognized Giovanni in the street
today. Inquiries led us here."
"At any rate, it looks as though Gio
vanni hud been forewarned of your
visit," answered Hillard. "And may I
ask what is the name of the officer
Giovanni attempted to kill?"
"It is not necessary that you should
know."
Hillard accepted the rebuke with be
coming grace.
"And now, slgnor," with the utmost
courtesy, "permit us to apologize for
this Intrusion. We shall wait in the
hall, and if we lind Giovanni we shall
gladly notify you of the event."
"Hello! What's this?" exclaimed Hil
lard, going to the table when the of
ficers had gone. It was a note ad
dressed to him:
My Kind Master The carablnlerl are
after me. But rest easy. I was not bom
to rot in a dungeon. I am going north.
As for my clothes, send them to Giacamo.
the baker, who lives on the road to El
Denerta. He will understand. May the
Holy Mother guard you should we never
meet again!
Hillard passed the note to Merrihew.
"That's too bad. I've taken a great
fancy to him. It seems that the peas
ant has no chance on tills side of the
water. His child a painted dancer in
Paris and a price on his own head!
It's hard luck. And the fellow who
caused all this trouble goes free."
"He always goes free, Dan, here or
elsewhere."
"Why, we'd have lynched him in
America."
"That's possible. We are such an
Impulsive race," ironically. "Vcs, no
doubt we'd have lynched him, and
these foreigners would have added an
other ounce of fact to their belief that
we are still barbarians."
"I hadn't thought of that," Merrihew
admitted.
Merrihew became Impatient.
"Now out villi it. Where and how
did you learn that Killy Is in Venice?"
I Lilian! told him brielly.
"A ml so they are all in Venice,
broke? I'.y George, here's our chance
cvrlaBfJng gialitiile and all that!
iVo 11 bail 'cm out and ship 'era home!
iIr.T that tor a bright idea?"
"lAt me see," said HilUird practical
ly. "There tiro live of them five hun
dred for tickets and doubtless five bun
flrcd more for unpaid hotel bills. It
would never do, Dan, unless we wish
to go homo with them."
"But I haven't touched my letter of
EEcdit reL I could get nloDg on two
.
thousand."
"Not with the brand of cigars you
are smoking, 30 cents each."
"No; we can't ball them out, but we
can ease up their bills till money
comes from home. Not one of them by
this time will have a watch. O'Mally
will remain soler from dire necessity.
Toor Kitty Killigrew! All the won
derful shops and not a stiver In her
pockets!"
Merrihew paced the floor for some
time, bis head full of Impossible
schemes. He stopped In the middle of
the room with an abruptness which
portended something.
"I have It. Instead of going directly
to Venire, we'll change the route and
go to Monte Carlo. I'll risk my four
hundred, and if I win"
"Then the announcement cards, a
house wedding and pictures in the
New York papers. Dan, you are Im
possible. You have gambled enough
to know that when you are careless
of results you win, but never when
you need the cash. Hut it is Monte j
Carlo if you say so. Two or three j
days there will cure you of your beau- j
tlful dream. After all," with a second
thought, "it's a good cause, and It j
might be just your luck to win. The '
masquerading lady! Monte Carlo It
is."
Merrihew danced a Jig. Hillard j
stepped to the mirror and bowed pro-
foundly. The jig ceased.
"Madame, permit me, a comparative ;
stranger, to offer you passage money j
home. We won It at Monte Carlo.
It Is yours. Polite enough," . mused i
Hillard, "but hanged If it sounds j
proper."
"To the deuce with propriety!" cried ;
Merrihew buoyantly. "We'll start to
morrow?" From her window Kitty looked down
on the Campo, which lay patched with
black shadows and moonshine. How
still at night was this fairy city in the ,
sea! There were no horses clattering I
over the stone pavements, no trains, no
omnibuses. The stillness which was of
peace lay over all tilings. And some
of this had emen d Kitty's heart. ,
P.ut for one thing the hour would 1
have been perfect. Kitty, ordinarily j
brave and cheerful, was very lonesome
and homesick. The dismal failure of it
nil! She had danced, sung, spoken her
lines the very best she knew how, and
none had noticed or encouraged her.
It was a bitter cup after all the suc
cess at home. If only she could take it
philosophically like La Signorina!
And there were so ninny things she
could not understand. Why should La
Signorina always go veiled? Where
ilid she disappear so mysteriously In
the daytime? And those sapphires and
diamonds and emeralds? Why live
here with such a fortune hanging
round her neck?
"Kitty?" The voice came from the
doorway. Kitty was startled for a
moment, but it was only La Slgnorhja.
Kitty furtively wiped her eyes.
"I am over here by the window.
The moon was so bright I did not light
the lamp."
La .Signorina moved with light step
to the window, bent and caught Kit
ty's face between her hands and turn
ed it firmly toward the moon.
"Y'ou have been crying, cara!"
"I am very lonely." said Kitty.
"You poor little homeless bird!" La
Kignorina seized Kitty Impulsively In
her arms. "If I were not" She hesi
tated. "If you were not?"
"If I were not poor, but rich Instead,
I'd take you to one of the fashionable
hotels. You are out of place here in
this rambling old ruin."
"Not half so much as you are," Kit
ty replied.
"I am never out of pho e. I can live
comfortably In the Uelds with the
peasants, in cities In extravagant ho- I
tels. My mind Is always at one height. I
Where the body is does not matter !
much." j
There was a subtle hauteur in the
Toice. It subdued Kitty's inquisitive
ncss. ".Sometimes," said Kilty, drying the
final tear "sometimes I am afraid of
you."
"And wisely. I am often afraid of
myself. I always do the first thing
that enters my head, and generally It
Is (lie wrong tiling. Never mind. The
old woman hero w ill trust us for some
weeks ye t." She leaned from the win
dow and called, "I'onip-e-o!"
From the co.mil the gondolier an
