"W hy do you aak th is question, c o u n t ess?" "B ecause a man like you ought to he very happy." "A poor, lonesom e fellow, such as m e?" "A re you lonely? I would have sup­ posed th a t a genius, who could con­ quer th e a ir and save his oountry, couldn't be lonely." Santos Duprel put on th e autom atic lock and let the wheel go. H is Instinct was aroused; som ething told him th a t this beautiful woman w as playing w ith him, and he, th e brave Santos Du­ prel, turned tow ard th e S w itc h in g en­ emy w ith eyes lit up.

Can I help It If my loneliness has—” she did not finish h e r sentence, but fell to sobbing hysterically and poor San­ to s’ h e a rt was softened. "Can you pardon me, Mr. D uprel? Will you still be my friend, my kind- h earted friend?" She offered both h er hands to the unhappy man. The control signal rang. Santos Jumped to the wheel. H e w as excited, but autom atically slackened the H aw k’s pace. It alm ost fell down­ w ard and with a graceful curve settled on th e roof of th e C rystal Palace. A stra was aw aiting R o sltta’e arrival, and Santos w atched the two women as they walked tow ard the elevator th a t took them down to th eir room s. “At eleven tom orrow night,” called Roslt­ ta, w ith a friendly w ave of h e r hand.
