The slim wrist lifted; a white hand moved to the' hair, pushing It away. , Sbe sat up,' a pale girl, gazing at the lid of itlie chest,, beside her, then slowly her eyes moved about the room un til .they rested on. Umberto, She sprang from the chest, staring at him front storm-dark eyes, Umberto's relief was such' tbat he felt taint. He stared at the girl who, to his' recovering senses, .qeemedn apparition. She . was perhaps not more than '20. Her eve ning dress a jeweled slip with a Ypse halt torn from' the1 shoulder was stained and crumpled. ' Her black' hair fell about her. In their gold slippers her feet were the smallest he bad ever seen.. - , Whother because she was dark enough to have been his country woman,' or because In excitement be lapsed Into his mother-tongue, had been ailing for. a mouth.,. Um berto knocked softly, feeling It well not to disturb her. . Bllence, and presently without a sound, the opening of the door. Jason DIvItt locked like a little black ant, Umberto .would hav made three ot him. but he rulod Umberto as effectually as Umberto ruied Gabreau. He had come' to New Orleans from what was vague ly known as "the Weal." What lay back of hlra no one not even Mol ly) perhaps knew.

' Umberto Jerked his head toward the stair in an urgent gesture, and Ulvitt In evening clothes follow ed blm upstairs and Into the' room, i The girl stood by the. window. In Umberto's absence she bad fas tened up tier hair and thrust a high ; black comb Into It She confronted the men with no semblance ot fear In qer stormy eyes, yet the close observer might hare seen the' trem bling ot her clenched bands, the quick rise and fall' of her breast '; uivui turneu aprupuy 10 umuerio. Would ' r Umberto baeke'dr iconrae," alie had answered. "Tou1 are two times as strong. "Halt," he mumbled now, "I want halt." , , . . , "You got half," Umberto growled. 'Half, dollar." . , i Ho i pushed Gabreau ' out da- ibreaur who was stronger than he iahut and locked the door. Ha lis 'tened till he heard the flat tread, re cede down, the balcony, then he .closed the Inside shutters ot the .window a'n3 lit the lamp: '""" I A square room with a bare floor, a. table, a cot,' a chair, an' old armolre ot carved rosewood, a ker osene stove. Smoke from the stove had atreakod the walls and dimmed jthe rich oil portraits, the long gilt framed mirror. i Umberto set the lamp before the mirror that he might baVe a strong er llcht . Ha draw tiil'tha smaller chest it w'nV nailed; but It. carnal open quickly. Opals crystallised rainbows, sleek and oool. He turned to. the, larger chest, Gabroau had grumbled at the load when they carried It stealthily' from the Dolores to Umberto's boat. Not often be called on Gabrea' to'help him carry things,, Gabreau was needed as a lookout. Tonight. how everIt was a. heavy chest and too beautiful to leave. He had abandoned a doion entailer chest to take It , ..' - .. . . , I Umberto examined , the chest. Ebony, exquisitely carved In an open-work, design, so that one ssw through It something that gleamed. The lid fitted tightly,' but aa he ' Jerked the handle It opened and Umberto looked on the thing tbat gleamed. Silk, yellow,'' translucent, shot with Jlttle black gems. , A rope of pearls, a bracelet set with emeralds i Umberto drew back, reached tor . the lamp, bold It close. The bracelet glowed on a wrist, slender, ivory colored; Under the folds nf silk a woman's form lay In the chest. Her dark, unbotind . hair covortid her face, and there was no sign of breath. ' The lamp shook so Umberto set awV' as' she'' sprang frorn the ch'et staring at him, Umberto could not,, know,: but her spoke to her In Italian a voluble flow that rose to the'belghts ot re pressed wrath. , Her pallor grew deeper and she spread out a hand against the wall, closing her eyes. There was no water at hand, but there was wine priceless; wine that bad been mourned by Its owners. Umberto opened the old armolre, poured a glassful. She drank In gulps, steadied herself by the table, re sumed her stormy gase at him. Apparently she had not under tnnd lha Italian. - TTmherto trans lated It Into the only other tongue he knew. . j ,"How you getta that way?" point ing to the chest "I brlnga you here and thluka'you dead, I got 'nough troubles. What for you, do theest" Hor eyos moved to the door be hind, him. , r ,.,"Nb, you don' go," stated Umber to. Spanish! was probably hor lan guage and, there were tuoso lu New Orleans who would understand her wliotV she related the atory of her removal from the Dolores. . He might even be nccused ot kidnap ing as Well as theft "Walt," be ordered "1 come back." The room had one vlndow that Ilka Ita one door, opeued upon the balcbiiyV Except at' the front there are no windows In the outer walls of the old French quart'or ot Now Orloans. Umberto' made certain that the window was fast he had nailed It against Gabrean's prying some time before then' he went out, locking the door. The balcony framed a flowered court' centered by a fountain and reached by a slender stair. Not far from' the stair-foot was a door be hind which the gambling rooms ot Jason' DIvItt housed their activities till three o'clock In the morning. It was now tour. Ulvitt would have counted Ills earnings and gone to' his. wife's room, the room directly beneuth Umberto's with lis groat bed , and Spanish lace curtains which Nolly. plvltt had picked up. In the shops on Rnval street. Molly "What's, thlajff he demanded. ! "Lady," Umberto Informed bin. "She In da chest."" Umberto point ed. "I take It oft da Dolores. Lady Inside. I don' know how she getta that way. Stowaway maybe." . DIvItt looked through the chest's contents. Laces,' mantillas, a black cape which the girl, watched aa lously as he pulled It out . "Theos getta me In trouble," com plained Umberto. "I think she dead, at Drat I ask why she do such' thing." She no onderstnn' Italian.? "Get Conchlta." said DIvItt He' threw the things back Into the chest while Umberto w'ent down the' balcony , to the last, room on that, side. Gabreau' and Conchlta, lite mother, looked, at htm darkly.
