Sarto set to work on the motor, the sharp exercise of pol­ ishing heating his chilled pulses and fur Dishing some outlet for the fierce rest lesspess that was consuming him. He was on his knees beside the rar. manipulating the oil can with artistic nicety, when step« sounded on the pave­ ment outside, and a colossal shadow fell acrons the chauffeur’s line of vision. "My ward, Sarto, that you?” came in a hated English drawl; then, as there was no response from the garage, after a mo­ ment Buist’s massive head and shoulders shot up above the gateway. "I say.” he observed sardonically, “thought you were by way of bein’ n chauffeur! How many hours does it take you to put on a new tire?” Sarto did not reply, and for an Instant the Englishman silently eyed the shirt ■leered figure before him with cold aver ■ion. It was this common workman, re­ dolent of petrol, that Mrs. Waring had ■een fl’ to constitute her cavalier for six insane hour« ! The sooner he was shown hie proper place the better. Gerald’« teeth closed vindictively on his i cigar , “bse that you give that machine a jolly The C^athfeur and the Jewels ♦ th Ldltll Horgan Willett gxswl poliahin’ while you’re about It." he ordered at last, with a harsh authority that was almost arrogance. "She’s got to be in decent shape for shlppln’ by to­ morrow mornin’ at latest." lie turned on h.s heel, aud then, with added aharpueaa. "Hear what I say? Have her ready to go on to Southampton by the next boat.” What happened next was a complete surprise to Gerald Buist. Up to this point, by a superhuman ef fort the chauffeur had kept himself in hand, but now his face had beew»iue livid with suppressed fury, and between his curie«! black lipa his teeth gleamed sug- festively. It was a somewhat terrifying figure that shot up suddenly not a foot away, with brawn. sinuous finger* writhing un­ pleasantly near the Englishman’s throat. "I take my orders from Mrs. Waring, and no oue else," came iu a sibilant whis­ per. From his overpowering vantage of height and bulk the Anglo-Saxon looked down on the fiery Latin with blank aston­ ishment. which gradually gave place to a dawning amusement. "You little foreigner, here." raising his voice, "get out of my way ’." Forth went-his huge arm with unex­ pected directness. brushing the slight Southerner contemptuously aside, much as a self-respecting house »log might dis pose of a vagrant cur. Then turning on !iis heel, the Englishman sauntered netr chalantly towards the hotel, trolling one of t’havalier’s Coster songs in his sten­ torian baritone. Staggering back against the garage door, a dusty, oily figure straightened it­ self with a muttered curse and looke»! after the retreating one. "An apoplexy on thee!" it sobbed in Venetian patois. "Dog of an English man ! I will remember this forever !” Gone was Annette’s gentlemanly com­ panion of the tonneau. Gon« Mrs. War­ ing’s ramantic lover. «Alas! It was a very plebeian chauffeur that some time later crawled abjectly into the garage The next morning dawned overcast, with a soggy wind blowing off the Chan nel. and a chill «altiness in the air that suggested to the shiverv Sarto an ova sional glass of absinthe at the cafe around the corner. However, h« kept himself for the most part in the garage, from which the back windows of the Maritime were visible, varying the monot­ ony of his work at intervals by a saunter into the lobby of the hotel, haunting es­ pecially that region around the telephone, in restless expectation of a message which did not come. It was about noon that th* machine stood ready for «Kipping, packed by the chauffeur’s experienced hands into a shapeless, hide-bound mass, and not un­ til then did Sarto let himself out of the motor shed and make off with stiff alac­ rity for a much-needed bath and shave. Some time later, obedient to th* long expected telephone message, the chauffeur presented himself at Mrs. Waring’s sit­ ting room—to find, with an odd mixture of regret and relief, that Annette Ban croft was the only one to be seen. "Come right in.” the girl said at once her genial «mile making him realize re­ morsefully how utterly he had forgotten of late his little comrade of the tonneau. “As you see. I’m in the depths of pack­ ing:” she waved her hands towards a collection of trunks and their contents scattered promiscuously around the room. "Won’t you sit down?” But Sarto remained standing. "I came to r*;>ort about the car. sig norina." he said, with a certain somber dignity. "It’s all ready for shipping.” "Oh. dear!" The girl’s face fell uncon sciously. and as unconsciously Sarto found himself watching her, his bruised senses reviving under h*r friendliness with a startled sudden consciousness of something about her which he had felt before. Just a waft, subtle, elusive, intangible, of that divine essence which has been labelled <’harm! "Oh, yes,” she «aid, with a quiver in her voice. “The poor car! Mr. Buist s going to find a purchaser In England. \Ve shall never s*e it again. Well,” with a fatalistic shrug of her shoulders, "there’s no use lamenting the inevitable! I must tell Mrs. Waring you’re here. Just wait a moment,” and she turned away, the complete unconsciousness of her manner assuring the chauffeur more strongly than words that Gussie had kept her own counsel thus far. There was a sense of relief in this dis­ covery, and. as the door closed behind her, he was able to glance around, tak­ ing sto^k of his surroundings with a faint, detached interest and curiosity. Th* room was a comfortable one, boast­ ing of a writing table, lounge and vari­ ous ea«y chairs, the last heaped with fem­ inine effects from the trunks, which, rang­ ed around the four walls, had overflowed in every direction. A driving rug which the chauffeur recognized as flung casually on the floor, and a well-known khaki motor cloak lay Ix’side it in a huddled, human-looking mass. In fact, the whole place was overwhelmingly suggestive of Gussie, and, stung by a hornet host of recollections, Sarto began to pace up and down, "realizing again with intolerable distinctness the full bitterness of last night’s humiliation—his own mad reck­ lessness and folly! Self-disgust added fuel to his fury, fanning it by degrees into a burning, unreasoning malevolence towards Gussie which craved some outlet. In the man’s supersensitive stat« every feature of his present position—even such minor annoys n«-*s as the jangling clock on the mantle-piec«, the uncomfort­ ably roaring fire beneath—contributed to th* sum of his misery, exasperating his nerves beyond bearing. It was with a sens* of positiv« injury that he glared at th* small prim grate opposite, and then, rapidly crossing the room, dashed open th« window next to it. 11« leaned out heavily.
