Dimly she felt she ought to warn Jugpita against the marquesa, merely because they spoke the same language. But for Divitt's sake Molly could not do this. Molly had missed Juanita to- night. Divitt had put a girl in her place, one Fifi, with a pretty little face as hard as an alley cat's Fifi took the tray about with a yakish step. “She jazzes it,” sald Molly bitterly. Divitt had told Molly about Led- petter's behavior to Juanita. Ga- breau had also been told and in- structed not to admit Ledbetter hereafter. Gabreau had kept a hopeful watch at the gate, but Jeabe! had not appeared. “Poor Juanita” thought Molly. “If he had snatched off her veil in the par- Jors she could never have gone to the Comus ball.” Molly had felt no apprehension regarding the marqguesa's presence at the ball. appraise the jewels worn by the ladies, but the theatre held no fam-, ily gold or silver for her to place.| “0ld red buzzard” thought Molly. The marquesa was aware of Moily’s antagonism. “Funny about these wives,” she told herself. “They may not know what it is, but if you've been in their husband's past, they've got their fur up.” The suite had a parlor, a bath, and one large high-celled bel- room with two great four-poster beds, canopied and having curtains, that could be drawn for privacy. The marquesa sat on her bed un- dressing. She had danced a hole in her; stoeking. No matter. Spike was pay- ing for it. She had done a lot tor Spike tonight.

Every detail of the ball interested Molly, the names of the men with whom Jua- nita had danced, the costumes they wore, the f s, the queen, the| ladies’ gowns, the supper . “That was good about your no( knowing who Adrian Fouche was. If you had. Of course he didn't [know you. How could he? And Eric Ledbetter wasn't there. But you may rtun into him, honey- ’ and if you do, don't you care.

I just remember _ hearing my voice—and striking at him.” Molly was silent a moment, then she patted Juanita’s hand. “It's all right. He was drunk. He won't re- member. Anyhow ,if you meet him —face him, don’t run.” The marquesa found the cigar she had selected at supper, and be- gan to smoke. “Hell's bells!” yelled Molly. “Can’t you find some asafetida?” The marquesa got into bed and drew the curtains. Get into be Molly said to Juanita, and opened the window, letting in the drowsy dawn-rattle of Royal street. Juanita smiled up at her sleepily from a tumble of dark hair. “Poor kid!” thought Molly, put- ting out the light, closing the door softly. “She’s not much younger than me, but she seems like a kid —my kid . . . Lord, I'm getting soft.” The door of Divitt's office was locked and she went home by way of the Tijon patio and through the little gate. Gabreau in his short bed heard Molly as she came through the gate. There were few sounds these nights that Gabreau did not hear. Many the draught of sedative had Conchita given Gabreau. “You got slip or you be seeck. How dis place goin’ ex-eest—eef Gabreau seeck?” | “But he kees her, Maman! He jerk 'way de veil and he kees her mouth. It mo' worse dan when she kees him light—thoo de veil.” Conchita knew how keenly Ga- breau had watched at the gate (hoping that Ledbetter would come. Gabreau would forbid his entrance as he had been instructed, and Ga- breau would do more. He would Ifollow Ledbetter into the dark |street, and on some pretext—per- haps with the hint of a message from Juanita—would lure him into an alley and have it out with him. But even Conchita believed that lclchay would soften Gabreau's de- |sive for vengeance. Even Conchita 'did not guess that Juanita's en- |trance into the world under the |wing of the marquesa—for what |purpose she surmised all too ac- | curately—conjured up such visions lof her meetings with Ledbetter as |tossed him like driftwood. “He will see her close. He will | mebbe not know her. He mebbe ]wnL Anyhows, he will love her. He | will spik soft. He will give her mooch flowers and presents. She . will listen. Oh Madre de Dios!

Gabreau awoke in a darkened room. It was his office to wait table for Molly and Divitt and to be on; call for any errand. But it was no' thought of these duties that sent him from his tumbled bed and in-! to his clothes. This was the day for which he had waited a week. Tonight he would not be in the parlors.
