way from home, lie sighed and turned
to where the sun was sinking tn a
haze of red across the bay. Then he
heard the voice of Horace and chim­
ing with it the cultured accents of
Lord Hawcastle. Apparently they
were coming to neck him. She had
reiterated his refusal.
Wearily he turned again to the au­
tomobile and leaned against it. As he
did so he heard Horace say:
“But Etliel says Mr. l'ike positively
refuses."
In return he heard Hawcastle reply:
“Leave him to me. In ten minutes
he will lie as meek as a lamb.”
I'umbly l’ike wondered what fresh
argument the earl had to offer and
mentally steeled himself against 1L
As he looked up he encountered the
steady glare of the earl.
"My dear l’ike.” began the latter,
“there is a certain question"—
”1 said I would not discuss that with
you. I meant what I said.” observed
Daniel quietly.
“This is another question.” went on
the other, heedless of the warning or
nt least unaffected by it.
“Late this afternoon I developed a

of the nobleman.
“Two years at least In prison for
the Americpui”
"Looks bad for—that American, eh?”
Pike inquired whimsically
Ix>rd Hawcastle stepped close to
him.
“If this fellow countryman of vours
were assured that the law would be
permitted to take its course if a favor­
able answer to a certain question were
not received in an hour within that
hotel, what, tu your opinion, would
the answer tie?"
Pike looked up from the letter he
was twisting in his hands, and his
thin shoulders took on a squarer atti­
tude He looked Ills antagonist square­
ly in the eyb. but he did not raise the
tone of his voice.
"It would depend a good deal on
which of my countrymen you caught
If it depended on the one 1 know best
he'd tell you he’d see you in hades
first"
For an instant the earl looked fixed­
ly at Daniel, and his face went red
and white by turns. There was a dan­
gerous flash tn bls eyes, and he step­
ped a trifle closer and half raised
his walking stick. Then, with a mut­
tered oath, be dropped It, picked up

’•That’s It, and It’s the name you
want. Nobody could look at you and
not know It wasn’t him! It’s the name!
And I’d let you buy It If It would make
you happy—if you didn’t have to take
the people with it.
Don’t you see
they’re counting on it? The earl he’s
counting on living on you.” The Iti-
dianlan became excited. “Why, a Terre
Haute pickpocket could see that! And
this old Lady Creech she’s counting
on It, and this Frenchwoman that’s
with them Isn’t she trying to land
a
your brother? The whole kit and boo­
dle of them nre on the track of John
Nimjison's money!"
"1 gave Almeric my promise It was
forever, ami I shall keep It." she an­
swered slowly, as if she had been im­
pressed with Ills earnestuess lie look­
ed at her quietly.
"Fin not going to let yon." lie re­
plied.
“Then Fl) throw your interference to
the winds. I shall marry without your
consent.”
“Do you think they'd let you?” Fike
asked quickly
For a moment she
stood still, and then enme the sound of
the guitars from over the wall. Pike
went on after a time.
“Sounds kind of foreign and lone­
some.” lie said “I'd rather hear some­
thing that wounded more like home—
‘Sweet Genevieve,’ for Instance You
know It, don't you?”
“1 used to,” she answered, hanging
her head “It's old fashioned and com­
mon, Isn’t It?”
“That's why I like It, I guess," he
answered. “I couldn’t get you to sing
It for me before I go home, could I?”
She looked nt him thoughtfully for a
moment
“I'm afraid not,” she answered and
went quickly Into the hotel, leaving
him looking after her curiously.

great anxiety concerning the penalty
prescribed by Italian law for those for­
tunate and impulsive individuals who
connive at the escape or concealment
of certain unfortunates who are want­
ed by the police."
I»aniel looked at him. with a smile.
“So you're all worked up about that,
are you?” Hawcastle glur,*d at him,
but went on,
.
“So deeply that I ascertained the
penalty for it. For the person whose
kind heart has so betrayed him the
penalty is two years in prison, and
Italian prisons. I am credibly informed,
are unpleasant.”
l’ike rii mina tod and folded his letter.
"Being in jail ain't much like an
Elks’ carnival." he observed.
"Even a citizen of your admirable
country could not escape If Ills com­
plicity were proved if hr were caught
in the a< t I will be ptaklp wIMi you.”
These last words had an ominous
note. “Let ns imagine that a badly
wanted man appeared upon the per­
gola here and made an appeal to one
of your countrymen who. for the pur­
poses of argument. Is al work upon
tills car Say that the too amiable
American conceals the fugitive under
the automobile and afterward, with
the »connivance of a friend, deceives
the officers of the law and ¿‘'»Iters the
criminal, say. In a room of tn».» tower
suit there"
He looked nbout In the growing twi­
light and pointed dramatically to tne
window l’ike, now thoroughly Inter­
ested and with Ills pulse beating a [
rapid tattoo, followed Ills flnger The
earl went on:
"Imagine, for instance, that thesliad-
ow which appea'rs upon that curtain
were that of the wanted man Would
you not agree then to a reasonable re­
quest?"
Daniel swallowed painfully, for he
saw In some manner that that away-1
ing window curtain which had caught
his eye an hour ago had held a dis­
tinct menace. It seemed too bad ttatt
this should lie the end of it all all the
defenses he had raised for the girl of
his dead friend should be swept away
in an Instant by a bit of folly.
"What would be th«* nature of that
request?" lie asked
"It would concern a certain alliance
-might concern a certain settlement '
the earl replied softly
"if the request were rvtused what

’ You have an hour," lie said, menac­
ingly turning.
' At I lie eml of that
time-we will know what to do “
Daniel must have stood there ten
minutes after Hawcastle had gone,
and the twilight came’down ami envoi
oped him with its softness. As the
lights came out here and there he turts
ed and looked over at the windows of
Von Grollerhageti's suit and noted the
shadow stlfl on the window blind.
"Looks to me like doe's in this tiling
and ought to be told," ho murmured.
He found his way slowly across the
grass and up the steps and in another
moment tapped upon the door of the
German's rooms. The door was opened
by llibiere, who informed him that
Von Grollerhagen was dressing. He
found hfs friend adjusting his white
cravat before a mirror.
Within five minutes lie had acquaint­
ed the other with all that had passed
and had received a smile in return
Von Grollerhagen refused to take the
matter seriously.
“Pouf!” he said. "Surely you can
trust this Lord Hawcastle not to men
tion it. He must know that the conse­
quences for you ns well ns for me
would be, to say the least, disastrous
Surely you made that clear to him."
Daniel smiled gently.
“No,” he answ ered grimly. “He made
It clear to me. Two years in Jail, and
If 1 don't make up my mind in fifty
minutes from now to do what he
wants me to do”—
“What is it that he wants you to
do?' asked the German.
"The young lady's father trusted me
to look after her, and if I won't prom­
ise to let her pay ilfsi.tloo for that—
well, you've seen It around here,
haven't you?"
