Th'n .er poae as Henorita Florce would tollapse, and with it, ehe tears, would die the love Kirk pleads iespite the marquesa's false re port of Juanito's Spanish engage ment. When the guests discuss the Fouchi and other robberies, Juan ita does not know that the mar quesa hod engineered them may now be planning to rob the Btan ard home, where they ore visiting. Meanwhile Eric's friend. Fits, warns hxn that Dick Preston sus peets him of an affair with Mrs. Prsston. Brio, ending an extended trip, had corns directly to the Cranshawt from the train, . Chapter 30 ERIC'8 UNEXPECTED TRIP RIO LEDBETTER considered Fibs' advice not to go behind the scenes ot La Petite Theatre to lee Nalda Preston. He decided not to act the tool, ,.. Perhaps Fltr was right In saying that Dick Preston was "behaving like the devil." Husbands did some times. And so Ledbetter sat during the play between Doreen Larkln and the Marques de Cabrera, He want- id to sit next to Seflorlta FloreB that he might unearth the memory ol her voice and eyes, but Kirk Btanard had maneuvered that the seflorlta sit next to him with Bobby again on ber left. The Marquesa de Cabrera, how ever, was the leflorlta's duenna, and talked quite freely about her charge luring the Intermissions. The seflorlta had never been in the Orient, said the marquesa, nor any- where In America, as yet, except New Orleans. Perbaps he bad seen her In Madrid. ... No, It was not Madrid. Memory, was clarifying Its Images sufficient ly to assure him of that. Things like that worried him. He so seldom forgot a pretty woman. "Do not let It trouble you," said the marquesa, "Come to Seville In Jane. The seflorlta Is to be married - then." . . , Trigger's play came to a close. Nalda as a sinuous and languid siren had stolen a political secret from the man she loved to enrich the Interests ot her husband whom be loved not, and rise with him to power. Nalda and the cast took even curtain calls. Trigger himself same out In response to erles of "Author!" bowing and smiling ner vously. Led better decided not to go to Antolne's for his after-theater sup per but to his own rooms. During an intermission he called up Ibo, his halt negro, halt Chinese servant, bidding him go out to the apart ment, air it and make things ready. To the surprise ot the crowd, Led botter did not go behind the scenes to congratulate Nalda, nor were Nalda and Dick among those who drove out to his apartment. The marquesa too was omitted from the party, by her own request. She did not feel well, she said, had not slept the night before. Would they drop her at Mr. Btanard s house? Kirk and Juanlta offered1 to re main there with her Juanlta ur gently, Kirk abetting ber but the crowd would not listen. "Shame on you, Juanlta, You're the guest of honor. Besides, the marquesa only needs sleep, and you two would keep ber awake." So Kirk had gone in with the marquesa, had seen her safe In the hands of the drowsy Sadie, and re turned to the car. i ' ' At Ledbetters apartment Ibo ad mitted the party as it arrived In relays. The place had been aired snd queer Incense filled the dimly lighted rooms. But there were no llgns at a feast Ledbetter had picked up his bag on the way and came In' with It about to go through to the bed room. Ibo stood before the bedroom door, his yellow-brown face tanas- ilve, his narrow eyes for a moment meeting Ledbetter's. Then he stood aside that Ledbotter might pass, and instantly shut Ue bedroom door. After another noment be too went Into the bedroom, reappear ing to go up to Fits. "Mist" Ledberr wan" you," he aid In his smooth Idiom. Fits went Into the bedroom. Ledbetter stood nervously In the center of the room. The drawers of his desk were open, their contents trewn about him on the floor. "What In" began Fits. "You had a burglar, toot" "A burglar," answered Ledbetter, "who took nothing but Nalda's let ters." "My God!" Fits spoke under his breath. He stared at Ledbetter. "Dick!" he whispered. Ledbetter turned abruptly. "I warned you," said Fits. "I Wired you not to come back." '"Shut up," Ledbetter answered "My trunk's at the station. Mj bag's packed. Get rid of the crow somehow." "You 0117" "New York," said Ledbetter "Turkey. I've got 20 minutes. Get rid of the crowd." Fits came out, looking as dls turbed as be felt. "There was a cable," said Fits. "Eric's sister. They think she'i dying. He's leaving tonight." "But that's Paris," whispered Emmy Jean. "Poor Bess! Will h make it?" "We hope so," said Fltr. He opened the door and tbey went out Into the ball, bussing, whisper ing. "Say good night to hint for me." "Say good-by." . . . "Poor Eric! And he'd just got home." Emmy Jean and Trigger rode home In Kirk's car. Emmy Jean tbey dropped In town. Trigger lived next door to Kirk. "Great success. Trigger," Kirk managed to say at parting. He would have bad the ride alone with Juanlta If they bad not climbed Into the car. He was alone with ber In the dark ball. Silently he caught her to him, firmly, thinking she would resist. Sbe did not resist Her kiss met his. In the dark and silence she clung to him. "Juanlta you are crying!" She shook her head. Again she' kissed blm. "Good-by," she whis pered. "Good-by?" he questioned huskily. "Why did you say that?" "I don't know," bewilderedry. "It said Itself. Let me go, dear. I hear some one moving." "You couldn't The marquesa's In. bed, and the servants sleep In the yard. . . . Let's not go up yet" "I must, . . ." whispering against him. "I'm afraid tonight" "Afraid?" his arms tightening. He himself was a little afraid. Tbat word "good-by." Had she really not meant it? "Afraid, Juanlta?" Sbe nodded. "I'm afraid some times." "What are you afraid of, honey?" He thought she would say, "Of going back to Spain." But she said, "Of you." "Why of me, Juanlta?" "Because I love you, . . . Let mt go, Kirk, dear. . . . No,.let me go, . i You must" "I'll never let you go, Juanlta." "You see why , I am afraid ol you, she whispered. "You try to hold me. It will be hard because 1 love you. But you can't hold me. I ought to have known that at the start I did know. I only forgot , , . Good night, darling. ... It you love me, let me go. . . . I'm so tired. I'll see you In the morning." He released her. In the dark they went up the stair; their steps noise less on the deep carpet At her door he kissed her again gently. She was tired. She would see him In the morning. Juanlta In her. room, stood an In stant leaning against the closed door, fooling Kirk's kiss still on ber mouth. Somewhere back In her mind moved the singing thought that Ledbetter was gone gone be fore be had remembered. Kirk would not know now ever anything. She put on the light beside her bed, a shaded light that would not disturb the marquesa whose room was connected with hers by a short arched passage without a door. She moved about preparing to undress. Suddenly she paused, hearing a sound. Once before standing with Kirk in the hall she had heard that sound, a sound as of some one walking In stockinged feet Then it had seemed to be in the upstairs hall. Now It came from the room on the other side ot theirs Nelly's room. The marquesa had a way ol walking about In her stockinged toet Perhaps the sound really came from the marquesa's room. Juanlta entered the arched pas sage. "Marquesa!" she whispered. There was no answer, and sbe switched on the light The bed was empty, the bath also. Juanlta, who had done no more than take off her wrap, stepped noiselessly Into the hall. Nelly's room 'did not open Into the main hall, but fronted a separata passage. Juanlta, remembering the way, felt along the wall In the dark, till she reached that passage. Nelly's door bad not been tightly closed, and opened softly. It was dark In here, but light Altered beneath the door of the dressing room beyond. There was the sound ot a drawer being shut CetsritM. Dsii, Used O.)
