CHAPTER III IN DISGUISE. AN hour later Mariano, the maitre d’hotel of the Regina Marglie rita, stepped out upon the ter race aud began to lay a cloth upon one of the small round tables that stood close to the white marble balus trade. On Hie other side of tile wall could be beard the mandolins anil gui tars of the fishermen, anil Mariano glanced up crossly as the song arose upon the morning air. “Sileuzio!” he cried, aud for a mo ment the music died down. Mariano went at once to the table upon which be bad spread the cloth and placed silverware and delicate china upon it, and be was thus en gaged when Michele, the couiiiiission- nalre, appeared at the top of a flight of marble steps that led into the eastern wing of the hotel, fronting on the ter race. “Here is M. Ribiere to see you, sir,” he said softly, with a backward glance over Lis shoulder, and Mariano straightened up instantly, with a smile of welcome, for Ribiere was an old and valued accomplice in the gentle art of soft Italian legal stealing. A tall, alert young Frenchman, clad in an English walking suit of gray and carrying a portfolio beneath bls arm, ran lightly down the steps and approached tlie maitre d’hote). “Ab, Mariano!” he cried as he up- preached. The genial Mariano bowed graceful ly aud rublied bis flexible hands to gether. “M. Ribiere!" he chattered gayly. “This is one of the days of days”— The music burst forth again, and he whirled about angrily in the direction of the lemon grove. “Stlenzio!” be cried, with waving hands. “Slletizlo!” and turned again to Ribiere. Michele, with a glance nt them, went back within the hotel. Ribiere turned a warning glance to ward the hotel and whispered in Ital ian: "Let us 8|>eak Engleesh. Fewer un derstand.” Mariano again bowed and spread out his hands in assent. "I hope m’sleu still occupy the ex alt’ position of seeretar' to monseigneur the gran’ duke.” The Frenchman walked quickly to one of the little wicker tea tables that were scattered about, sat down and opened his portfolio. "We will not mention either the name or the rank of my employer," he said gravely. "There are reasons of state. You understand?” The maitre d’hotel threw up his hands in despair, and his round eyes rolled heavenward. •• Again Incognito!
