po:ntblank question
TTTHY, yes, Senor Uompez, we're
''off tomorrow." Daphne Sumera
answered. "I'm getting married, you
(enow, and we mean to catch the aft
rnoon boat."
"That Is fortunate for me, alnce I
ihall be on the game train." He said
that direct to Alison and underlined
H with a languorous, caressing
glance that made her turn abruptly
away. But even with her head
turned, her eyeB on Daphne, she
could (eel him watching her and her
repulsion grew.
"You'll be on that train?"
Daphne's surprise was shrill, yet
Alison felt sure she had arranged
the whole thing. "You're leaving
England at once, then?" As he did
not answer, she repeated sharply,
"Are you leaving England ?"
"What? Oh, yes. I must get back
to work."
mothering, protective Instinct ot a
woman, latent In the girl, rose ati
the thought of letting Robert marry
Daphne Burners. But had she the
courage to tell him outright, chance
his anger and disbelief? Or should
she speak herself to Daphne?
The curtain fell. Robert got up
and went out to smoke. Alison sat
very still In her corner.
Daphne was lying back In her
chair, the Immense fox collar ot her
evening coat like a huge arch behind
her sleek black bead with its little
crown of curls. She sat playing with
the long gold chain ot ber mesh bag,
her gaze drifting slowly across the
crowded rows below.
It stopped at the end ot the tblrd
row, rested there, and Alison almost!
exclaimed aloud. It was as if Daphne'
had turned into another person. At
one moment hard, self-possessed,
cynical, the next her whole face soft
ening, the thin Hps drooping sadly,
the eyes filled with hungry longing
and with love. J
IT was scarcely necessary for All
son to look down and see who sat
In that end seat
"She loves Gompez, Just as I 1ot
Guy!" And with that thought her
natural generous sympathy came
uppermost. She could pity Daphne
and she wondered in a bewildered

Gompez bent low over Daphne's hand.
But though ho said thnt smoothly.
Daphne had seen him Hlart and drag
his gazo away from the girl. She
flashed a took at Allaou and a heavy
red color stole Into her bony checks.
"It's certainty a mistake not to
attend to buMnosR," she agreed;
even Alison caught the acid note be
hind that.
He rose at once.
"There Is the hell. I must get back
to my seat Au rovotr, Madame." Ho
bent low over Daphne's hand and
kissed It, "Au rovotr, Mademoiselle."
He went out with a gliding, undu
lating movement which reminded
Alison of a snake.
When the door bad shut, Daphne
satd In nor most plntntlve, nnanl
dro 'IIeB really nice, Gompez;
bo's not a Spaniard, though. 1 be
lieve he Is a Colombian or some
thing, paulsh'Amerlcan anyway,
but he was a wonderful friend to me
when 1 bad trouble over my pass
ports once. That's why I'm so glad
to be able to recommend him and
use his hotel now."
Tim curtain had gone up again;
Robert bad come back Into the
box and wus sitting between his
daughter and fiancee. Alison, shel
tered by her father from Daphne's
keen eyes, leaned forward looking
at the stage, although she neither
board a word or saw tho actors. Her
whole mind was concentrated on a
slnglo Issue: how could she warn
her father?
For It had coine to that now.
To cheat him like that! For Gom
pez and Daphne were In lore; Apart
from tho kiss. Daphne had given
herself away by the acid note In her
voice and the Hush on her faco. and
Alison found It dttllcult to disguise
her own contempt whrn Daphne
spoke to ber at nit.
How could she let ber own father
walk blindfold into such a trap. All
son asked hcrsclr, staring wide-eyed
yet unseeing at tho stage. How could
she put him on his guard?
If she told him her belief, he would
merely scoff nt the Idea and be
angry, put it down to jealousy, or be
shocked she should think such
things. Daphne had primed him too
well.
And tonuiiTOw, at half pn.t one,
they would be married. All the

way. It she loved Gompes so much,
why did she not marry him. Attor
all, she was a widow and froel
Impulsively, Alison spoke.
"Daphne?"
The hard expression snapped back
Into pluce as If released from a
spring.
"Yes?" Mrs. Sumera picked np
her glasses and looked through them
at the box opposite. "Oh, my dear!
Look nt (hat woman! Did you ever
seo such a llgure!"
"Daphne, will you tell me one
thing?"
Tho kIushos dropped.
"Hmm. What?"
"Is Senor Gompez married?"
"What an extraordinary ques
tion!" Although she laughed, there
was a hint of fear In Duphno's eyes.
"As a matter of fact. 1 don't believe
he Is. Why do you ak?"
"1 wondered . . .' Always shy, the
girl was suffering acutely under
thoso pointedly amused eyes.
"Don't tell me you've fallen In
love with him at first sight!"
Daphno's laugh was shrill and un
pleasant. "Of course not. I dldu't even
Alison stopped, confused.
"Then why do you want to knw
It he Is married?" Thero was a
faint breath lessness In that ques
tion. It was dllhYult, hideously dlllk-ult;
Alison pulled her courage round her
like a cloak, forced herself to speak
bluntly.
"I only wondered why you didn't
marry him, that's all."
"What on earth do you mean?"
Words which dropped out slowly.
"Nothing. Only well, tho day be
fore yesterday I naw you kiss him.
In your flat." Alison got H out
breathlessly. "And tonight I could
seo that you were In love with blra
and oh!"
Her votes fnlled. She shrank back
against the sllk-llned wall of the box
In sheer panic.
Kor the thin, bony face opposite
had contorted Into snarling anger,
pallid so that the reddened lips
stood out like a clown's paint. Rut
It was Daphne's eyes which made
Alison ltqncera back defensively.
