' why the hotels there have so many of them. For a long time scientists did not know where this peculiarly dry and Intensely hot air over the Great Plains came from. It did not come from the Gnlf of Mexico, they knew, for the warin air down there Is usually wet. Then. too. only a few of the bright day* over the western plains developed hot waves.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO At the Villa Rose, two women faced each other in the gray and eoral room. It was toueh-and-go for Mane, and she didn’t know it. For when the Baroness La*car had said so softly, speaking of Northeim, "May I congratulate you?”, there had been bate for the girl in her heart “Northelmf" Marie exclaimed, staring at the woman in black, whose eyes were haunted. “Why, that’s too ridiculoust Why, it’s insane—" She stopped, because she saw it all now. Ever since that time In Corfu, the Baroness had been jealous; Marie put out her hand impetuously. "There's simply nothing to it. .Madame Lascar t” she ened. "I couldn’t —You see. Northeim wants me to marry Nino Lippi.** “Ahl" Color spotted Madame Lascar’s cheeks. “And you refuse?” Mane turned to the older woman. “I was crazy about Nino," she admitted, "but I'm not any more.” The Baroness looked at her and laughed. It wasn't a happy laugh. She threw her head back, the line of her throat convulsed, as though she stumbled over sobs. “And I would have killed you a moment ago, because of Felix." She touched her lips with her handkerchief. "You're in love with Tony Worth. Os course—of course." Marie’s head went up. “Tony? Why I—hardly know him. I thought you and ho—" “Tony doesn't care for me. child." Madame Lascar walked to the window, her tall, graceful figure outlined in the light Presently she said, tonlessly, “1 love Fchx. And ho is eviL So tvil that I am — afraid." Marie ran to her. “My dear, I want to be your friend.” La Lascar raised her head. She stared out of the window, gripping Marie's shoulder. The yellow car was coming up the hill. “Luigi told Feliz where you were!” she whispered. “He and Lippi are after you, and they’ll Marne me!” She pushed Marie back from the window calling “Anna— Anna!" The maid came running, white as Northeim's carnations that spelled death. “Anna, take Miss Schuyler through the garden, down the little footpath to the road. Get her away I" “I won’t leave you," Marie declared. Her chin was stubborn. "I’ll stay and see this through I" There was so little time to decide The lovely room grew quiet, except for the low hum of the yellow car taking the hill to the villa. "I won't gol” Marie stressed once more in her high, dear voice. “You’ve just told me that Northeim la—evil." She hesitated aver that last word. "I don’t see how you can love anyone bad—really bad. And you admit being afraid of him. So I’ll just stay with you. I’m not afraid." Theresa Lascar gave her a quick, eearching look, then took the firm young hand in both of her Icy ones. “If you really knew mo and Aim, you'd run—you’d run for your life!” “1 don’t care — I’m eticking." Marie was post live, “But, my dear —you don’t know. Few—we’re both in danger. Please “Th<-y are very near, Madame." Anna spoke from the window. With one of her impulsive movemenu, Marie kissed La Lascar's pale cheek. Sudden strength and renewed beauty flowed through the older woman. "Come, then — eome quickly Into my bedroom. Anna!” she called, "Coffee and little cakee for two—- — I Keep Mr. Northeim and the Marchese waiting in the sitting room. Say I’m busy. Then bring eoffee in for Mademoiselle and myself, just as if 1 didn't expect other visitors." The bedroom Uy across the hall from the sitting room.

A feeling of repulsion swept . over her as she saw Felix Northeim, e so dumpy in his elegance, his short legs prancing up the path; and Nino e Lippi, svelte, in white, lagging beg hind him. Madame Lascar drew her back. . “Don’t let them see you," she whist pered, gripping Marie's shoulders. , "My dear child, I’m not joking. Felix is one of the most ruthless , egoists in the world. He'd murder ~ me if he could. And you too, if he doesn’t get what he wants — your

- money!" ‘My — money?" Marie’s eyes widened. Northelm—Nino Lippi—- * things ahe hated to believe, flashed ■ into her mind— They heard Anna in the hall, j opening the door. t “Watch me—don’t be surprised — I follow everything I say,” Madame Lascar urged. Then suddenly, be- ' fore Marie's astonished eyes, she slipped off her black dress and took, i at random, a gray sequin dinner . gown from the pile on the bed. Her long white hands fumbled among . the other models. She choae a white , one, thrust it at Marie. "Go over to the mirror. Hold it in front of you. , Quick!” I It was a beautiful, fleecy gown with a wide corselet belt, studded with rhinestone designs. Mane went over to the mirror. Behind her Madame Lascar snatched one of the red silk earnations out of the vase, ' cut its artificial stem with scissors, and pinned the flower to the gray dinner gown. Then her voice rose vibrantly: “You can judge the lines better by seeing thia gown on me.” She glanced at the door. “I think this red earnation is quite stunning with gray, don’t you?" Her tone accented the red earnation. She paused, and went on gaily. “Oh. my dear, white is very becoming to you. By the way, t have the elevcrest eouturidre in Paris. She—" Someone creaked outside, in the hall. Listening I Theresa signa&d Marie to speak. “You must give me her address.” Marie’s eyes sparkled as she caught the spirit of the little act they were putting on. “Let me see that woolly white sport suit I want one like IL” She darted back to the bed. whispering, "Am I doing all right?” “Splendid.” Madame Lasear barely moved her lips. She was trembling. Aloud she said, "Slip on the coat You’re slimmer than I, and about five feet, six inches, aren't you? I'm at least two inches taller. Still, it’s your style.” “I’m crazy about it!” Marie put the coat on over her pink linen. It flared from the shoulders and bad two broad deep pockets. Her hands instinctively reached in. There was something in the right-hand pocket She drew it out It was a small knife, sheathed in black velvet For the first time something strange—not fear, but an inner shrinking—caused Marie to step back. People didn’t usually leave knives around like that— The Baroness Lasear snatched , the knife from her and tucked it under the yellow taffeta cover of the , bed. A shuffle came once more from , outside, as If the listeners were | growing impatient Madame Lascar , heard the sound. She nodded to ( Mane and saiil quite loudly."
