into which she proposed to change in the stable dressing room. The man gazed dubiously down the Cap Martin slope and estimated the thickening blanket of violet haze. “It’ll be coming up fast, Mademoiselle, after a while,” he said: “It’s troublesome to ride through wheruit gets too heavy. I shouldn’t advise Mademoiselle to go too far.” “Just along the sea road, to Mr. Kenilworth’s,” she Informed him. “The lights there are never lost.” The groom would have liked to voice more insistent caution, but his mistress was abrupt with him. There were times when the servants at Villa Ameite were afraid of their Mademoiselle Joanna. The groom shook his head but decided not to venture a further protest. He reflected that, after all, she was a good horsewoman and that a horse usually is dependable. Kenilworth, whose villa nestled at the base of the hill, shut off from the majestic boulevard which skirts the shore by a dense hedge of semiI tropical bush, met her, with his own groom, at his gate. She stepped lightly from his hand to the ground I and tossed her bridle to the man. I “Just an hour, please,” she com- ' manded. Kenilworth immediately expressed | dismayT “You haven’t braved the I mist to give me but an hour! It i will take me quite that long to get accustomed to the vision of you , among my things.’’ “Just an hour, Ruddy,” she lni sisted, nodding to the groom, who accepted her order as final and led ! the horse away. “You see, I’ve made plans for the evening, and I mustn’t i interfere with them. I shall have I to get back to Amette and change.” It was the first time Joanna had , granted Kenilworth a tete a tete j hour “in the midst of his things,” !as he expressed it. She had always made a pretense of “being afraid” of him, which, he customarily retorted, was flattering but untrue. He assured her, at such times, that she was one who wouldn’t be afraid of anybody. He had desperately proposed Lady Weymouth as a chaperon, but with no success. Joanna asserted that she’d never resort to a chaperon-—“ln these days.” He was. then, puzzled by the sudden whim which brought her, uninvited.

and strangely vibrant. He knew her well enough to sense a purpose. Joanna, he had discovered long ago, usually concealed a purpose behind whatever was unexpected of her. He had made a profession, almost, of discovering those hidden purposes and fathoming them. "Confess to me,” she challenged him when she had settled In a gl’eat chair before tjie log fire •which baffled the cool dampness of the Increasing mist outside, “you are wondering why came so unexpectedly.” “That I wouldn't do,” he declared promptly. "If you have any other reason than a sudden desire to enjoy my admirations without interruptions, I don’t want to know It. I am jealous of my vanity.” “Then you shall be flattered,” she returned gaily. “I am in the mood for you. Someday there’s got to be a battle between us, between you and me, Roddy. Let’s have It now.” • • • Hi—— 1 E was on his feet in an Instant and standing over her. k__J She stopped with her eyes, and held him half bent down to her. She did not stir, nor put up a hand: it was just the Indescribable something In her eyes. “No, not just now,” she said, her lips shaping Into the utmost of their provocativeness. “You mustn’t be too literal. But tonight, perhaps, or tomorrow night—or when the moment arrives. But as soon as we can I want to know how I’m coming off.” “Dam you! Are you playing with me?” \ “No, Roddy. I’ve never played. Not since my money came. Someday I want to play. After we’ve had our battle, perhaps. What shall we do first? Let's go through the mist —to some place. Why not up La Turble?” “Tonight?” “Tonight. That's what I must hurry home to change for. I shall want to look very alluring." He straightened and looked down at her cooly for 9 moment. She did not flinch under his gaze, nor did her lips uncurve. He turned away and looked out a window. It was already darkening outside, and the lights of Monte Carlo were vague pin points.

OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS

“If we drive carefully we can make it,” he concluded. “I’ll take the wheel myself. You won’t be afraid to trust yourself with me, shall you?” “That’s what I want to find out, Roddy. So many people are skeptical of me, I want to know If they’re right or wrong.” He laughed. “I shan’t ask you to stay beyond the hour,” he declared. “I’ll need some time alone to try and figure you out. What’s happened? Something has, I am certain.” “Nothing,” she assured him. "Nothing, that is, that wasn’t expected.” A servant notified * them that Mademoiselle’s mount had been brought to the door before either of them realized that the hour had flown. She had induced Kenilworth to tell her some of the histories of the souvenirs which were strewn about* the room In which their tea had been served, and she was enthusiastic about them. • • • l_ a HEN she went out to her horse \J U she found that the groom - also had brought a mount. Kenilworth nodded his approval. Joanna begged to be allowed to ride back to Amette alone, declaring her faith In the lights along the sea boulevard and her horse’s instinct, but Kenilworth was firm. “I should take you along myself,” he explained, “but I shall want a look at the car. It’s a stiff climb to La Turble. I always want to be satisfied about my brakes.” At Villa Amette, Joanna found Brandon awaiting her. “I have invited myself to dine,” he explained, “and no one seems to object. Perhaps you will go along for an hour or two at the Casmor, afterwards. There won’t be a crowd and we can drop In for an act at the theater. Yvonne seems to have other plans for the evening.” “And so have I.” she told him. "I’m going up La Turbie with Roddy. He’s often wanted me to go up with him, and now I've promised. Sorry.” She did not wait for the inevitable protest against climbing the narrow, winding road that ventured up the steep La Turbie mountain to the isolated resort above La Turbie

village, but tripped on up the stairs. Brandon looked after her. Even women who were careless seldom went up La Turbie to dine or glance at the famous roadhouse atop the hill, unless in groups, .. The gayest of the hidden rendevouz along the coast. It was, in some respects, also the most iorbidding. One always went up La Turble but one did not, customarily, talk about it. After he had stood for a time In deep reflection, Brandon went onto the Amette veranda and peered out into the damp fog. Accustomed as he was to the Riviera he estimated the feel of It to his nostrils and his fingers. He appeared to gain, from his conclusions, some definite satisfaction. • • • I. |“j E summoned a servant and inquired if Mademoiselle CouJ tant was still 6ccupied In her boudoir. The maid reported that her mistress was and would not be down for some little time. "You may tell her,” he ordered, "that I shall not be staying to dine, If she won't mind.” A half hour later, when he had dismissed the Amette car which had taken him back to Monte Carlo, Brandon summoned his valet and demanded that a suit of heavy tweeds be laid out for him. When the man had complied his master ordered: “Go at once to the garage of the Italian in the Boulevard du Midi and ask for Antoine. If he Is nto at hand find out where he can be reached Immediately. When you have him say that I tvant him to drive me as soon as he can be ready up the mountain. If he objects to the mist, tell him the thicker the fog the heavier his purse will be, and that much more for his men. Be sure, however, that it is Antoine himself you find. Otherwise refurn quickly." On her way to her own boudoir Joanna stopped at Yvonne’s. She. too, it seemed, was particularly painstaking at her evening’s toilette. Her maids were flushed and nervous under the temper of their mistress. That they were having difficulties in pleasing her was evident from the litter of glittering gowns nngrily ossed into heaps on the chaise ounge. chairs and, even, tables. For i brief Instant Joanna stood in the boudoir door, beneath the curtains

that shut off Yvonne’s sitting room; just long enough for her eyes to harden and narrow. Then she announced brightly that she would be going out with Kenilworth and that she hoped her running away would not Interfere with any plans for the evening Yvonne might have made. Yvonne glanced at her sharply. She concluded, however, that there had been nothing hidden in Joanna’s tpne. “I hnve no other plans than a run into the Casino, perhaps,” she said. “Betty Weymouth Is having something or other tonight at her place, and I did promise that you and I would drop In, but that Is not important. If you are running away by yourseOf, I shan’t trouble.” Joanna went over to the other woman and, stooping, lightly brushed her cheek with her lips. “Then I shan’t be seeing you till omorrow sometime. It will he early, though, for I,shan’t be able to sleep with tomorrow night so close.” She stopped again at the door as she went out, to say, as if It were an afterthought: ‘ Tonight I’m going up La Turbie-—with Roddy.

girl had dropped the curtains behind her. She waved both of her maids away, when the bore down upon her with Joanna’s departure, and sat quietly In a study. Presently she looked up and into the mirror before her. She examined the reflection she saw there with an intent, abstract scrutiny. From her face her gaze wandered to her throat, around which hung her most magnificent pearls, anti then to her gown—she had chosen a thing of pink in orchid hues that had come that day from her Paris couturier’s. She shook her head, In response to her mental conclusions upon the ensemble tho mirror reflected. “You may take off the pearls,” she commanded a maid, "and bring me diamonds. A lot of them. And I shall not wear this gown after all. It’s too innocuous. I’ve sometliing in burgundy: bring that.” As If to herself she added, in a murmur that neither maid could overhear: "Burgundy and diamonds. If I’m not mistaken that will do the trick.” (Copyright, 1925, H. L. Gates.)) (To Be Continued)
