CHAPTER XX He ascended the stairs to the upper hall. A dim light shone beneath the door of a room half-way down the corridor that must of necessity be Vanya’s quarters, since the other two girls were still downstairs. Shene’s room was on the ground floor, and Hong slept, if he slept at all, Heaven knew where. He paused at the door; probably had no more lock than his own, he thought. “Trial by Fire!" he murmured, and rapped sharply on the panel. “Yes?" called a voice—Vanya’s voice! He deliberately turned the knob; the door gave and he stepped in. Vanya looked up in startled surprise as he closed the door behind him. He glanced about the room, very similar, save for the single window, to his own—furnished with a narrow bed, a single straight chair, a bureau with a mirror, and a wooden wash-stand with a pitcher and basin. Vanya sat on the bed. with the long evening gown she had worn the preceding night crumpled in her lap; she was apparently mending it. The single chair was bedecked with a scanty litter of other clothes. The girl, as she stared wide-eyed at Mark’s unceremonious entrance, still wore the tattery costume of her last dance; in the room’s heat she had discarded the flowered robe across the foot of the bed. She sprang to her feet and reached for it as if to drape it about her semiravealed figure. “You again!" she exclaimed. “What do you want here?” Mark made no answer; as she fumbled with the scarlet-flowered* robe, he suddenly advanced a step, swung his arm about her waist, and pressed his lips against her full, pouting ones! Vanya neither screamed nor struggled, nor did she yield; her body was pressed rigidly against his by his arm, but her soft lips, except for their warmth, were as unresponsive as those of a stone statue. A moment only Mark held her, then he released her. She pressed her fingers across her lips and backed slowly away from him, sinking to the bed with her eyes fixed dazedly on his face. “Well,” said Mark, “why don’t you call for help? Why don’t you scream?" “Scream?” said the girl dully. Who’d come? Your friend Loring? Or Hong? Or Pearly Shene? Aren’t you a paying guest?” She tried to shift the rags to cover her bare white knees. Mark made no answer to her words, but seated himself on the bed beside her. Suddenly he again drew her to him, bending her back across his knees; he leaned forward and once more pressed his lips to hers. There was a violence in this second kiss that he had hardly intended; he was suddenly involved in his own plan in a manner somewhat unexpected. Vanya was rigid and unyielding in his arms, but someliow Mark felt, or thought he felt, a change in her. Then suddenly she was struggling, twisting, writhing in an attempt to escape from the circle of his arm'. lie withdrew his lips, and she lay motionless, her eyes closed, and her breath sounding in little gacps. “Why don’t you scream?” Mark repeated. “Please,” she said in a low voice. "Please—let me go.” Byway of answer, Mark cupped his great brown hand beneath her chin, aad holding her firmly against her struggles, kissed her again. And in the midst of this procedure, she ceased to struggle; she was passive in his embrace, and a curious and unexpected thrill moved in Mark’s own being. , Had she responded? Had he imagined a scarcely perceptible flutter of the warm lips? He wondered,

for no one, except clever Loring, could have read the real reason for Vanya’s hauteur and coldness to him i —that her attitude was a mechan- , ism of defense against the love she . feared. Out of the bitter circumstances of her life had grown the j distrust of men that led her to erect her shield of disdain, and from ] her first meeting with Mark had I come the fear of the very thing that . was now occurring to her. Her defense was cracking, and even though Mark could not know her feelings, he sensed enough to do no more than repeat his kiss with added fierceness. This time he was certain! This time he felt her response. And still she lay passive and unresisting in his arms, with those dusky eyes of hers now gazing seriously into his own! Again he kissed her, with an ardor that was quickly outrunning that carefully engineered plan with which he entered the room. He recalled himself. This wouldn’t do! Not while the Trial by Fire remained to be given. But the warm throb of the girl’s halfrevealed body, the silky feel of her black hair on his arm —. He pressed one final kiss on her now responsive lips, while her arm slipped softly over his shoulder and drew him still closer. He placed her upright on the bed, and stood erect. Vanya sat with her face buried in her hands, her ebony hair cascading across her bare arms. “You didn’t scream,” said Mark in a half-choked voice, “because you didn’t want to!” She made no answer, but raised her head until the dark eyes met his. She looked at him with a serious, frightened, puzzled face; Mark had to steel himself to continue his designated course. “Will you deny that?” he muttered, wondering how to proceed. Vanya shook her head silently, with her puzzled eyes still fixed on his. Mark, for his part, was himself more or less at a loss; though he had burst in upon the girl determined to carry through his plan, yet her bewildered, half-reluctant yielding to him seemed entirely at variance with the attitude he might have expected. Still, he told himself, what of it? He was here with a definite purpose; he was going through with it. A burst of sound from below in-’ terrupted the progress of Mark’s plans. There came a racket of shouts and a crashing of chairs and tables — Shene’s bellow, sailors’ shouts, and keening through the hubbub, a familiar voice raised in song! “I sing a song Os men unclean, To Ho Li Hong And Pearly Shene! Their liquor’s strong, And so's their smell! So send them both along To Hell!” “Oh!” said Vanya, passing her hand dazedly through her black hair. “Again—now! I can’t sta<)d this!” The hullabaloo rose to a crescendo of shouts, oaths, rending wood, [ and crashing glasses. Loring’s song shrilled again above the brawl. “For decent men i Wil) hardly seek The filthy pen Where such men reek! For Hong is fat And Shene is big— But Shene’s a rat, [ And Hong’s a pig!” r Mark heard Vanya’s distracted t murmur, still missing the hysteria 1 in her voice. s “Oh God!” she whispered. “No i more of it!” 1 The fracas broke into the open; > Mark saw from the window the group of sailors, Loring in their - midst, stagger toward the beach, r And a final fragmentary melody , floated back.

“Let long, eool swells 1 Os ocean clean Wash out the smells Os Hong and Shene.” The voice faded. Mark turned again to the pale face and haunted eyes of Vanya. “I’ve got to leave,” she said, “or go mad!’’ Mark perceived his chance —the opportunity to further his plans. “Leave?” he said. “Whera? Singapore, Canton, Harbin? Or Saigon or Shanghai? I’ll give you passage money, if they’re better than this. “But I have a plan,” he continued, noting the girl's shudder. “I’m not proposing marriage, but I can slip you into the United States —as my wife! Get you past the immigration people. You’d like to enter the States, wouldn’t you? Clean cities, cultured people, wealth —you know the details!” Vanya still looked up at him with that hopeless, silent gaze. “I’ll be fair,” said Mark. “I won't collect until I deliver. The mail packet leaves Taulanga for Honolulu in about three weeks; we’ll sail on that as a married couple. Once in the States, you belong to yourself; until we dock at Frisco, you are my wife. There’s my offer; yes or no?” Mark stared down into the dark eyes. “There it is!” he thought “Trial by Fire—and I hope to Heaven she slaps my face!” But she didn't. She just gazed at him with the same dazed, hopeless expression, and then closed her eyes and sobbed quietly. • • • “Looks like a typhoon passed through the bar!” said Mark to Loring, as the latter sat munching his morning quota of bananas and breadfruit. The beachcomber showed some effects of the evening’s fracas; his lower lip bore a ragged cut, and his eyes were more than ' asually red-rimmed. His unkempt | beard concealed any other damages . his face might have suffered. “Good party!” replied Loring. “Must have been, for I’ve had the only headache I’ve acquired for several years. . . . Though that might have been the bottle itself instead of its contents!” “Hong looked normal this morning.” ‘He should; the pig ducked out when the excitement started.” “What happened?” "Couldn't say," grinned Loring. “Just began, I suppose. These little affairs have a habit of starting when I get spiffed around Hong or Shene. Just a minor peculiarity of mine!” “At that,” said Mark, “you and your friends appeared to come off second best, from what little I saw of the affair.” “That Shene!” said the beachcomber with distaste. “He did in the five of us; took most of it out on me, of course; he was really very gentle with the paying customers.” Mark stared out to where the Ellice was slowly rounding the last curve of Tongatabu. It sailed jauntily, with full sail spread to ths mild Trade Wind, notwithstanding the fact that a good portion of the small crew must have been feeling their two-days’ dissipations. “There goes Shene’s clientele," he observed. “No show tonight." “Oh, the lady will have a free evening, if that’s what you mean,” replied Loring. “And by the way, did 1 I win that quart?” “You did not!” snapped Mark. He strolled away, leaving Loring , gazing after him with an expression of mingled amusement and regret. He did not heed the sarcastic call. “There’s also a Trial by Com- ; bat! came Loring s irrepressible voice. “I’ll wager another quart on that!” (To Be CopnUht, 113 4. by Klnt Feature* Syndket*. Ir/
