|- Mary waixec swirtiy to the ele
yator and breathed a sigh® of
deep relief when the slow-moving
operator closed the door and
started the car upward. She would
have given a great deal to know
what subject was so engrossing
Louise and De Loma, but she dar
ed not risk the chance of being
caught snooping about.,
Almost immediately she was
sorry, though. Why hadn’'t she
concealed herself and tried to
catch at least a word of what
was passing between the two?
It might be of tremendous impox'-‘
tance to her plans. If the Coun
tess guessed, or if Bruce had{
broken his promise and told her
ithe purpose of this _trip, might
ghe not pass the information on
to De Loma, either intentionally
or otherwise?
It De Loma ever had been of
importance in the Countess’ life
unquestionably she would warn
‘him if she could. The question.
mark was Bruce. Distrustful of
the whole affair, he might have!
violated his promise; Mary sur-’
mised there was not much that
the crafty Louise could not worm
out of him if she chose. |
Well, it wasg on the lap of the
gods. Whatever was happening
down there would have to happen.
No one could reasonably have
‘oreseen that those two would be
intimates. It was a bad break,
that was all, as George would
say.
Mary walked restlessly about
the room. Sleep! It was far from
her now. How couuld she sleep
with this uncertainty hanging
over her head? If she could only
ask Bruce, reassure herself!
But Bruce was incalculable. If
he knew those two were down
atairs now, for instance, he might
Ny into a rage. What infinite
help Bruce could have been if
only he had trusted her a little
more. He should have been the

| When she awoke next morning |
i the hot Florida sun was stream- |
]ing in her window and the tele- |
{ phone at her elbow was ringing |
lmadl,\'. A glance at her wrist-!
| watch showed that it was nearly |
i 10 o'clock. |
| “Aeren't ~you ever coming |
down?’ Louise’s half-scolding |
ll()nes reverberated in the tele-|

| Jungle Trail and up the coast for!
Ilunch. Hurry!” i
| “Don’t wait for me,” Mary told
(her coolly. “I shan’t go this |
time.” : !
’ “Oh, but—" Quite evidently the
other was not prepared for re
fusal., She did not know what to
gay next. She could not com
mand. Yet she knew quite well
that so far Bruce had managed to
Ithwart the giri's every effort to be
alone. . {
’ She must have turned to ‘Bruce!
for Mary heard a low-voiced col- |
loquy. Then Bruce spoke, coax
ingly: “Surely you're not going tol
spend this gorgeous day in bed?
Come along! Dad’s anxious ‘to get
gtarted!”
“Not 1, Mary rejoined unflus
tered. “Amuse yourself as you!
please. 1 have an appointment
with the hair-dresser and ‘some
books to read. I'll just stay here
and loaf.” i
“As you please,” Bruce replied
coldly and rang off.
“Now,”’ thought Mary, provoked,
“he’ll be sure to think I'm up to
mischief, and follow me!”
Cool second thought, however,
taught her it was unlikely Bruce
would forego his day’s outing be
cause of any serious interest inl
her activities. Bruce was merely
trying to make himself obnoxious,
¢o that she would find life in the
Jupiter household unbearable and
leave. :
It was pleasant to go down to
breakfast alone. The dining-room
wag cool and dark and blessedly
empty. Early bathers had break
fasted and gone. And it was too
early for lunch. Apparently she

lax, not to have to keep up the
complex game of pretense that
she had had to play, sleeping and
waking, for s 0 many tense, un
happy dayvs of late. For the time
heing, she was freed of the ache
for Dirk, even. Peace, like a nar
cotic, numbed all her senses tem
porarily. 1
The low hum of distant electric|
fans . . . .the soft-footed; low
voiced waiters . . . the hushed
room, so silent that her own
thoughts seemed to echo in her
ears . . .-it was like the laving
of cool waters on her tired spirit.
Suddenly she realized that she

Someone stood in the doorway,
looking about. She looked up and
saw him wave away the head
waiter and come toward her. Her
faint annoyance at the entrance
of another diner into her enchant.’
ed solitude changed to pleased;
surprise when she saw it was]
George Bowen. ; %
“Aren’t you taking a risk in:i

not be well if they were seen to

“3afe as a church,” he returned.@?
“! met your gang starting out for

Mary almost dropped her fork.
“Lorimor!” . Lo
Bowen eyed her in surprise.
“Sure! Big Lorimor limousine.
