CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE Prince Vaslav's hand shot out, grasped the arm of the Mount »yn Mircea. “Qui.., et!** He divided the word into alow, fierce syllables. Gladys gave a little gasp. "Don't —please! You're hurting met” He relaxed his grip. Looking intently into her eyes, ho demanded, "Why did you come here tonight? I told you I waa busy. Besides... it is dangerous." •‘Dangerous? How?" "You must know.'* She shook her head. "I don't care about that. Anyway, that's not the real reason why you told me to stay away! It's another woman. It always is ... Who is it this time?” Involuntarily Vaslav glanced to> ward the rehearsal room. Ho recovered himself. "Never be Jealous, my golden one. It is woman’s least becoming frailty. But I shall prove your suspicions are, as usual, unjust. If you will wait only a little while, until I finish thia rehearsal, I shall join you.” "Where?” "Where but our usual alate?" Ho beckoned to the skirted »slet, "Ivan!” Lady Gladys touched Vaslav’s arm. “You promise?” "Os course!” Silently the servant preceded her to the end of the hall. He touched a wall hanging and it moved aside, revealing a tiny house elevator. The assn stood aside for Lady Gladys to Cos. As the lift ascended, the wallnging fell back into place. Vaslav returned thoughtfully to the rehearsal room. A few moments later be was explaining volubly to Brinda the significance of the numbered squares on the chessboard. "It simplifies rehearsal greatly," be said, "Merely by remembering a sequence of numbers, it is impossible to make a mistake. Os course, in actual performance, the numbers will not be visible from the audience But they will be there... for you and the other dancers to fol"It sounds a little mechaateal.” "No doubt,” he agreed. "But I am sure it will prove helpful, even for you. As for thou- others—" be indicated the girls rehearsing—"for them, It io necessary. They would net remember without tt.” At the end of a half bear, he abruptly cut the rehearsal short. "My ear will take you where you wish to go," he told Brinda, after escorting her to the door. "There will ba another rehearsal the day after tomorrow. May I count on yous" "I suppose so," said Brinda, a little vaguely, her thoughts busy with the problem of her incalculable host. "I win phons you to make sure. Goodnight ... my premiere dansouse.” She sank back in the luxurious ear cushions ... Not until ths car had gone several blocks did she notice that the chauffeur was not the om who had dri'rea her before. e • e Lady Gladys waited impatiently. Thia room was known to few of Prines Vaslav’s visitors. It was a strictly private retreat on an upper Baer, so constructed that go sign of it was visible from the stpira or thalLHl contained a desk, books io

a half docen languages, an immense burnished geographical globe, a small piano, and a broad low lounge, luxuriously deep. "Quite a long rehearsal!” she said acidly, as Vaslav entered. Without answering, he picked up I an intercommunicating phone affixed to a low table beside the lounge. He spoke rapidly into the transmitter—in Russian. "What did you say?" asked Gladys as ho hung up. Vaslav smiled. "Only that 1 am not to bo disturbed ” He disposed his strong, supple figure carelessly on the divan, ordering gently, "A cigarette, my dear.” Lady Gladys drew a sharp breath. For a moment oho stood motionless, her head lifted haughtily. Then oho obeyed. "A light." She held the flame dose. Vaslav exhaled a careful ring of smoke, removed the cigarette, and with his free hand drew her face to his. Their lips merged in g long |UM. "Do you know,” ho said, "your hair is very beautiful is thio light?” “De yas know," Gladys replied, "that you are the meet heart lace, unacrupuloui, fttcinAtinff nuui IB London!" Vaslav laid the cigarette aside. "Nonsense, my darUag. I am only a very simple fallow, who penetrated your pose of British hauteur. I knew at once that you were a moot human, a most voluptuous woman... and that in spite of your attempt to impersonate aa austere society snob! So I made love to you, like a sensible man; and like a normal woman, you responded.” "But de you levo me?’’ Tbs voice of the Movntwyn heiress strove to bo casual. Ths attempt was net a signal sucasse. the went on, “You bewilder me so, darling—you are so mysterious—and there are so many other women. . . there wag a MW one tonight, wasn’t there?” Vaslav laughed outright. "Yes, my dear, there wee a now one, sad I can thank you for makin< her acauAintAnca.

I could aee she Intrigued you from the start ... that’s her special gift Even in school she had the beys making fools of rheamelves. And new you.'” “Compose yourself, my golden eno,’’ seethed Vaslav. "Your friend Brinda interacts use ody because she to really a marvel--- daaear and, even mere, because she may be extremely useful” "Useful I Hew de I knew that you 1 just don't think at me as 'useful', ' too?” “You are useful, my sweet," said i Vaslav, "but useful in a different wayFor a while there was no more speech.
