( “They want to be alone,” he cajoled. , “Be kind to me, Marie, for a little I while. Let us take the ear and drive somewhere for tea.” He misunderstood her crisp withdrawal. “I swear I shall not make love to you. , 1 shall ask nothing. Only this small sign of forgiveness.” i But even his soul shriveled with distaste at what lay ahead: the Inn nearSuquct- -the drug—their names registered mb ,-osa—and tomorrow morning. Marie, caught in a web of scandal. humbled before Northelm, his Russian and his German. Then • only could Lippi have Mare as his Wife, both of them forever doomed to do Felix Northeim’s bidding. t Marie’s look rested upon him gravely. How had she ever trusted such a creature! f Theresa Lascar cried suddenly .from across the room. “Mane — whatever Nino asks you, don’t do it ' — don’t/** Northeim's cruel hand gripped her wrist But his voice was ,calm. “Theresa, are you ill? If Miss Schuyler chooses to go anywhere, she is free, not so?” Marie stood back from them all. , “I shall go nowhere unless the Baroness Lascar goes with me,” she said very dearly. ' “Are you sure, man—are you sure they’ve got her in Lascar's villa?” Tony asked again and again of Eric . Theime. He varied that with, “You say you know where this place is? You're sure? Suppose Miss Schuyler isn't there." I "Sure I'm sure, old boy* Eric, driving the ear they had rented in Cannes, sounded more confident than he felt He was almost sure. Where else could Marie be? The Baroness Lascar was Northern’s favorite. Everyone knew that ) Eric was a swell driver, but not so bright about finding spots and roads. He had been to Madame Lascar’s just once, a year ago, when Felix Northeim bad picked him up, dead broke, in Cannes—a eheat, an impostor—worse than that » They were on the Route de Frejus. You turned up some obscure road—a sort of hill—and there you were. But they weren't there. Eric had to find the road. Tony didn’t say anything for a while. His mind whirled....lf Kioto got to Northeim first, they would stop at nothing. "We must find her just as <?ulek as possible!” Tony urged once more. "Oh, yes, quite—of course,” Eric agreed vaguely. ’-Eric!" Tony didn’t turn his head toward the huge fellow sprawled behind the wheel. "Look, Eric,” be began, "you are one square guy to put your neck out for Marie. 1 can guess what you’ve been up against. We're none of us angels, but... somehow you shouldn't fit into the Northeim gang.” Eric swerved the long-snouted racing car, missing the ditch. "You’re darn tootin’ I don't fit” He slowed down. “Guess, I must confess,” he gulped. “Gee, Tony, I was born in Maine! My dad was of English descent, and my mother, bless her, was 100 per cent Yankee!* Eric slumped. ‘They’re dead now,” 1 * he said simply. "I wasn't content to be plain *Ed* Johnsen. I had to bet around the world, signing checks with a lot of fancy namer. And i Northeim bought up some of those checks. Get it?” “I get It.” Tony patted his arm. "All right, Eddie. Let’s find Marie.” i Eric stared ahead. "Jove, there’s the road! See the villa at the top of i the hill?” He drove on e little way. i "I was right That’s Nort heim’s car i in front of the bouse.” i "They mustn’t see us," Tony said I quickly. "Lot's find a place to hide i this bus. Then well slip upon them." I Theime edged the car back along I the main road. He avoided Tony’s i eyes. “Listen, old chap. I'd like to go thia alone.” “Why?” Tony asked crisply. "If you turn up, there’ll be an- 1 other fight,” Eric said. “See what ) 1 mean? What we want is to gqt Mam away without any trouble.” k Ton J WM with him

there. "You go in and make your report Get ’em hot and bothered. Then give Marie the sign to beat it Yell if you need me." They found another road nearby and hid the car these. “Well, good luck!” Tony said. His hand and Erie’s met Worth watched the tall figure of Erie Theime walk up the hill toward the junk villa. There was something in the way he walked that made Tony proud of the pseudo “English major” from Maine. But Tony had no intention of staying behind. He trod lightly along the side of the road. There was no sign of life around Northeim’s car or the villa. The square stuccoed pink house was all on one floor. It was fronted by coral silk curtains oa the left and yellow ones on the right Roses snd heavily scented vines perfumed the scene. Tony sprinted across the small lawn, hearing voices behind the yellow curtains. The windows were set low. He bent to peer into the room. The people inside were so engrossed that no one noticed him. Yes, Marie Schuyler was there. Tony stared eagerly at her. She stood defiantly against the white wall. She was very different from the gay, spoiled girl he had first despised. The figures were tense. Madame Lascar, deathly pale, stood to one side. The Marchese Lippi clasped Marie s wrist his head bent almost supplieatingly toward her. Northeim strutted up and down. His harsh voice rasped, as Tony reached the window, "You have disobeyed me;-Eric." The emerald in his snake ring eaught the light as he lifted a fist aad thudded it into the palm of his other hand. Erie Theime stood, enormous, In the middle of the room, topping them all. He was talking... talking too much. The booh, Tony thought, appalled. Eric was telling his test tall tab, and he waa making it good. “Yoe doublo-erosaed me!" Eric thundered. "I left Worth tied and gagged. Why didn’t you tell mo there was a time bomb planted oa that ship?” Tony gripped the window silL "You know a greet deal. Go on, Eric,” Northeim said with grim sarcasm as ho sat down. Erie stood over him, hie huge shoulders bunched, "| got blotto on shore," he growled. "1 heard a shot, and I went back to the ship.” "Ashot?” Northeim jerked forward in hte chair. He had given orders not to use guns. Marie gave a little cry. "Was Tony hurt?" ’ Worth almost vaulted into ths roc’j. Better wait and watch. Eric looked adoringly at Marie. “The lad’s all right,” he said. Then, raising hte voice, he boomed the saga of the fight in Northeim’s suite as though he were a rapid fire radio reporter analysing a current war situation. Northeim sat like a man stricken. Marie stared into space as if she, too, could see mighty deeds done that day on her yacht None of tbs tense people in the Baroness Lascar’s bedroom looked toward the window facing the harbor of Cannes. They were too absorbed in Eric Thelma's ripsaorting descriptive eloquence. No one noticed Tony outside, though part of Ms head showed shove the window ail) between the ysllow ailk curtains. He ached to jump in among them and sweep Marie away from Felix Northeim and the Marchese. But the moment had not yet come for action. That moment, Tony thought, almost with affection, belonged to Eddie Johnson, of Maine; alias Lord Burleigh; alias "Major" Brie Theime. Let the big fellow have his final Mtaehausensequo fling.
