"Stvtn o'clock!" th maid tailed through the door. Slowly Mary nt up In bed. Through her window, the aaw th uncertain light of a London morn ing and the ailver balloons guard' lng the city. Thla waa the day the and Vincent were to tail on the Moravia to Amercla. The joy of this thought suddenly swept away all the fright and foreboding of the night Gone was the haunting fear that had kept her awake half the night. She had Imagined Vincent In Carta's home Vincent, completely ensnared by the personal magnetism of this strange woman. Her blue eyes lighted on th card atop her dressing table. Its terse message "At Midnight" no longer frightened her. "What a ridiculous old Mother Worry I was," she chlded herself as she reached for her slippers. Last night, those two words had flooded her mind with nameless terror. But this morning, it all teemed far away and unlmpor- . tant The message might have meant the time of a radio broad' cast or a train departure or some thing equally harmless. And there I was," she reflected, ; "thinking up all kinds of mysteri ous rendezvous and secret meet ings.' She had barely closed her last ; piece of luggage when a knock fcjundea on her door. . "A letter, Miss." She found a sixpence for the bearer and her ' trembling finger tore open the envelope. She read: "Sweetheart; Sorry had to - dash off on last minute commis sion. Don't worry, ni make ' the boat without fall. All my love. . . Vincent" Mary's lips quivered as the studied the note. Suddenly, all the . shadowy fears of last night re ' turned. For the first time since the had known Vincent the chill of doubt struck her. Oh, of course she knew be was a gentleman ad venturer and a soldier by profes sion. He'd never denied it But ; " until this minute Mary had never questioned. Now he fought back ser suspicions.

It was nearly an hour before th moved up to th window. v"Haf..Mr- Vtocent On com aboard?" th asked the harried Britisher. He mad an expert search ,. through a pit of documents. "Hit ticket Isn't here. Miss." Seeing her disappointment, he added consolingly. "There's still an hour before tailing." MARY rushed back to the gang. plank, a thousand fears mock- - lng her. When a double blast of the ship's whistle announced only a half hour remained before sail ing the realised ther was only one thing to do. She wat not going to cross the Atlantic on the Mo ravia alone! - Turning, th fought her way through the swarming crowds. "Look smart there, Miss," a lug- gage carrier warned as she tripped over a mound of baggage. Picking herself up, the finally gained the companlonway and th three Sights to D deck, "Quick" th cried to the gray dad girl in her cabin. "Give me my bags, I'm not sailing. Hurry!" On glance about the cabin and Mary realized that Anna Winters had faithfully kept her promise to unpack Mary's belongings. "Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Carroll. I have everything put away." Help m get them together again," Mary sobbed. "IV got to get off this boat" Then sharp and clear in th passage cam th steward's call, "All ashor that's going ashore." Beating gongs sounded louder. For a minute, Anna Winters was too taken aback to make an utter ance. Then, as she flew to the cabin closet she became all sympathy. "Oh," she stammered, "I'm so sorry. Your fiance hasn't come aboard?" "No something's delayed him. t won't sail without him. We are going to be married very soon. If he's had to stay behind, Pm go ing to stay, too." From the closet came armtuls of Parisian frocks Mary's trous seau. There was a sudden inter ruption in the flurry of this frantic packing with a sharp knock on the door. Brusquely, the steward called "AU visitors ashore." Mary let the lovely gowns sUd from her hands. "There isnt time," th said. "I dont dare wait" . WITHOUT a backward glance or i goodby. she ran out of th cabin and into th passage. Th crowds had thinned. Fare wells were over. Even so, the twisting stairs seemed endless as Mary raced the three flights. When the reached A deck, the gangplank was already In the air, pulleys easing it shorewards.
