Then she smiled faintly and continued the dunce until Lady Oort rude swept down and carried her off to their cabin. ’’Thank Heaven this day is over,” sighed the Lady in Waiting as the two approached their cabin. ‘'Who said ‘Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown’?” As she spoke she opened the cabin door and switched on the light. Tlte.i both women stifled horrified screams. Lying on the floor was Darry. He was dead. Between his shoulder blades the Imudles of a pair of scis sors glittered in the light. "What shall we do?” walled the Princess. “I’ll call the Captain.” volunteered her companion, wringing her hands. “No! Don’t you see 1 Th< re’d I” (tuestions—too many questions.

strains of music from a concertina drifted through the walls of the cabin. As though moved by a spring. Olga opened the door and hurried toward King’s cabin. Mandini stopped playing and let the wind vheeze out of his instru meat as the Princess flung the door open and stood staring at him, whitefared. "Please,” she whispered at last “You come to my room—now.” Still holding his concertina in one hand, King hurried out. leaving Benton staring speechlessly after him. All expression left the musician s face as he entered the Royal Suite and beheld the body on the floor. (Juickly he closed the door and put his concertina on a stand near it Next he went to the body, knelt he side it and assured himself that Darcy was dead. Then he looked at the girl inquiringly. "Ve know nothing.” she said tin steadily. "Vilen we come in just now —be is here—like that. •■Mr. Mandini.” interrupted the older woman, "for reasons of State wo simply cannot report this to the Captain. Surely you can understand how distressing the situation is for Her Highness.'’ “How much money did you give him?” King asked softly. ti “Five thousand francs and . . . The Princess clapped her hand over her mouth, realizing that she had said too much. King unwrapped the cellophane covering from a package of cigarettes which he had taken from his pocket. Holding this between his finger, pulled out Darcy a wallet,

opened it—and found the money compartment empty. Showing this to the women he carefully replaced the wallet where he had found it. Then, without a word, he hurried out of the cabin. A moment later he returned with Benton. "Where’ll 1 put It?” His bodyguard seemed entirely unimpressed. "Anywhere ... An empty cabin.” As King stooped over to help pick up the body, he noticed a perfume boltl* which had been knocked to the floor. Automatically he picked it up and replaced it on the table. Then he and Benton dragged the corpse into the corridor. "Forget everything that’s gone on here,' tie said over his shoulder. "It never happened—understand? None of it. If anyone asks questions. Princess, give them that blank stare you handed me this afternoon. You keep your nerve. Both of you get up on Ueek —the salon ■ 1 :i n v |> I .1 •' o where people'll see you. Keep moving. Get tUo

He closed the door behind him and departed. The women put on their things and did likewise, leaving the for gotten conrertina behind

them.

"What did yon

do a thing like that for?” inquired King, when, after the Inaly had been disposed of. ho and his friend had returned to their cabin and were washing their hands and examining their clothing for

bloodstains. ‘‘If

you had to bump eft Darcy, why put him in her room?” ••.Me"’ Benton was surprised and hurt. “Do you think I'd bump him off with a pair of scissors f Not." he odiled thoughtfully, "hut what it's a good idea. How did i/o» happen to think of ttsing them.” "Using what?” demanded King. \s he realized that his friend suspoctcd that he had committed the ( l jme he started to object strenuously, then realized the futility ot su , li action and shrugged ipstead. While these things had heetrtranspiring on B deck, the five detectives and the captain hud held another conference and decided that since Petroff could not be found he might he Hie murderer, Paul Merko. T berefore they hurried out in a body to search the baggage In Petroff’s cabin. The Captain unlocked the door with a pass-key, turned on the light and gasped. Darcy’s body lay on tho bed, its hack toward the door. “Darcy!” cried Inspector Cragyafter a moment's inspection. "1 know this man: he was a notorious blackmailer. We ran him out of London. ’ ••With your permission, Captain . .” Lorel started removing articles from Darcy’s clothing and handing them to Cragg and the other detectives. "Meanwhile, mes confreres. 1 think you will agree—a woman s

"I do not t'ink so,” said Kawatl,

as he inspected the articles which bad been handed him. These were a cigarette case holding Darcy’s mono grammed brand and a folded passenger Hat on which the names of the Princess, King Mandini and Petroff
