I've got you in my arms, and I'd like to see anything or anybody take you away.” She said no more. Strange com- fort passed to her from him—blind comfort. Almost she quit thinking, in obedience to his command. The storm was lessening. Sea and wind had subsided, and they faw broken clouds and a white moon—*"Adrian’s moon,” Kirk said. They rode back. Bettina Byrnes ran out to meet them. “Come in quick,” cried Betiina “Come in and listen to the mar- quesa. I never heard such a yarn in my life.” ‘The marquesa sat cross-legged in the center of the long table. About Jer head was tied Laurie's red icarf, and Emmy Jean’s gold hoop ‘carrings were in her ears. Cranshaw was enthroned beside the marquesa and she was reading his palm. “You fall in love ver' easy.” marquesa was saying to Bobby Why had ‘Whereupon Bobby blushed and the | have | ‘noth- crowd jeered. “One time.you loss an automobile.

The marquesa looked at her cun- ningly. “Youre angry with me, Juanita,” she faid in Spanish, “be- cause I said that you were engaged. ¥es' . Don't tell them differ- ently—hear? What I tell is for your good. You must trust me.” “Why did you do it?” Juanita asked. “For your good, I say. Because you cannot marry, and there must be a reason.” ! “Why can't I marry?” |demanded. The marquesa's head drooped as she sat on the bed's edge. “Spike iwon't let you,” she said drowsily. | “Won't let me?” Juanita repeated {furicusly. “What is Mr. Divitt to {me?"” The marquesa shook her tumbled {head. She raised a hand, palm out, {with a hazy sense that she must not be questioned. “Go 'way,” she said in English. “I want sleep.” Juanita had undressed her down to a black chemise. She might have called Rhoda to undress the marquesa, except that she was ashamed. The marquesa was noth- ing to her, but she was ashamed, ijust as she had been when the marquesa had borrowed money from Kirk—money she had not repaid. | Undressed, the marquesa had found the little gold cross that hung about her neck. She took it lofl held it in her open palm, and {began to cry. ‘ Juanita picked up the marquesa’s |nigh1govm | “Go 'way,” sobbed the marquesa, sitting in her chemise on the bed’s edge.
