She Is very active In war . . relief work, at you know. She heard in tome way about the sketches I've been doing and is anxious to give an exhibit of them at her Mayfair home. She intends to charge outrageous 1 prices tor admission to raise funds for war refugees. She wanted me to be at the exhibit, but that, as I emphati cally told her, is quite out of the question. I will not face any one, as you well know, while I am still disfigured. Her lady ship Anally understood and has tome notion now of making a mystery of me to lend zest to the exhibit Having been to kindly treated as a refugee myself, I'm only too glad if I can repay the debt in a small way. In addition, as Lady Ponce-Townsend pointed out, the exhibit may lead to additional offers for me. So now, enough about me. You are on my mind constantly. 1 I wonder how you are and if all goes well.

Mary had felt an urge (to go to Mayfair and stand unseen somewhere near the mansion. : "Yes, sir," she answered meekly. i"Quite a crowd. Isn't it?' The Tommy laushed and an swered, "There's many a one that , would never get into her -lady. ship's 'ouse at all if It wasn't far a benefit like this." ; Mary didn't hear him. Her eyes draw to the door and a fminr . figure step from the car. Carla iMarchetta! On sudden Impulse, Mary joined ttn the crowd that surged around the glamorous Carla. Marv nulled the veil on her toque across her ' lace and, unnoticed, walked up :lhe steps.. i "Two shillings, Miss," an Im- fierturbable butler demanded. Mary heard the coins click on the silver tray, but kept her eyes lasienea on (Jar la. For all her alertness, Carla managed to van. ;lsh temporarily, sweeping into Lady ' Ponce-Townsend's drawing loam wiia almost insolent hau Drawing into tha hltn- cloakroom, Mary waited until A-arja would reappear. Then she neara voices. Someone was say' ing, "Shocking, that Marchetta woman's coming here!" A brittle voice nnnf hi.. 'dainfully, "If that woman isn't Jbeing watched, she should be.

The woman wiui the brittle, clipped accent was going on, "It's odd that . one of her young admirers isn't tagging along today. I hear that -lormer apanish war flyer, Vincent Gregg, Is completely gone on her." a . JT couldn't be, Mary thought, . drawing back faintly into the . protecting gloom of the room. . :Now, she wanted to shut out the 'doom of these words. Vincent a . Wave to this worldly Carla! The ivolces wont on mercilessly. : "Carla Marchetta, as she calls herself, has never explained why that young count who was so much In love with her tailed on the Moravia. Why was he aboard ship in the first place? My hus band taw him at tha rlnh tha rf.. before and, seemingly, he had no inwnnon 01 going to New York then." "Yes, and that awful story about Ma suicide. In the admiralty rec ord It was quite definitely estab ' lished that ha jumped from the deck needlessly." The woman with the clipped ac cent broke In again: "If you looked into that woman's past, I dan tay you'd find a trail of sui cides of men she has ensnared and then tossed aside." . Mary was drained of all con ciousnesa of tha . t. memory, the was back on the Moravia. She remembered the haunted eyes that had followed er the night of the tinklng. The Jnith who had returned her beret uJiad he.been shadowing her that night? Perhaps to warn her of Carla? What had happened that had made him prefer to throw himself into the tea than to be saved? With sudden clarity, Mary Car roll recalled the first night she had teen Carla Marchetta in the restaurant That strange feeling of foreboding when the woman's eyes had held Vincent's. That strange note: "At midnight" She was convinced now, beyond doubt, the not was from Carla and be hind it lay the explanation of why Vincent hadn't been on the Mo ravia. She wanted to crawl from the cloakroom and out of the Mayfair mansion in shame and horror, a a a TOUT something made her lift her head in new hope when one of the women spoke again. Dis tinctly, Mary heard her say, "I feel sorry for Vincent Gregg. They say he was almost crazy when the girl he was engaged to marry went down on the Mo ravia." A slow sigh escaped her lips. That was it, of course. Carla was making a fool of Vincent only be cause Vincent was so shocked and shattered after the Moravia dis aster that he was easy prey. Mary stepped from the room but re mained close to group of women nearby, anonymous among them. She had a job to do now and she was going to do it There was something entirely questionable about Carla, and Carta's activities. When Carla emerged, Mary fol lowed her cut the door and to the street where Carta's car awaited. She was close enough to see the chauffeur whisper something to Carla as he helped her into the limousine. A startled, ugly ex pression crossed the flawless face. "Why did you wait, you fool?" she hissed. The chauffeur shrugged and got di ma tne wneel. Mary stood un certainly and then taw another car pull out of the waiting lin and follow tha limousine. Mary walked back to her Soho rooms, mapping quick, perhaps foolish, plans. But when she reached home, everything else In her mind was swept suddenly away. A message had come from Dr, fj cannon.
