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

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.
