Nothing in the whole world,” she went on, her voice trembling a little, “would give me such pleasure as to succeed.” The American—his name was Hob- son, known to his intimates as Sam Hobson—smiled to himself as he sum- moned a waiter. He was an observant person, and after that first glance he had not needed to look at her. “You couldn't even get wise as to what his game was?" he asked. “He wouldn't tell me a single thing,” she answered. “‘He may change his mind,” he sald softly, speaking as though to himself. “If only I could make him!" she murmured, in a sort of passionate un- dertone. “In the meantime,” Mr. Hobson ob- served, “I guess we'd better be get- ting along with it. Is there anything to be done with the young man?" “He might be useful,” she acknowl- edged. “I told him yesterday that you represented an American newspaper and were always willing to give a good amount for any news as to the doings of the principal people here. You will probably gain useful informa- tion from him." “I found my man over at Nice,” Mr. Hobson announced—*"found him work- ing In a garage there and living in a cellar. He's been cleaned up as far as possible, but 1 should say that he was some tough.” The woman shivered a little. “Tonight,” she sald, “I am de- pressed. Get me a champagne cock- tail and leave me. Keep that young man away, too. I am in the humor to be rude to any one. Presently I shall go home.” Mr. Hobson obeyed orders and re luctantly took his leave. Secretly, al- though he knew better than to even hint at his admiration, he considered the marchesa the most beautiful and the most attractive woman in the world. He glared resentfully through his thick spectacles at Hargrave, ing down the corridor with Mile. 5 “I'll say that there are some fools who don’t know their luck!” he mut- tered to himself. b . . . . . Stephanie Putralka pushed the drooping roses on one side and leaned forward to greet Hargrave as he brought his Rolls-Royce with a sweep to the front entrance of her villa. He came toward her, hat in hand, a little hesitant. In her cunningly slmple white gown, with the welcoming light in her eyes, she seemed, as she moved on one side and stood on the topmost step of the plazza, little more than a girl. “At last,” she murmured, as he bent over her fingers, “I have you to m self. That Is what I have hoped fo She led him down the broad balcos widening at the end into a great! winter garden, from which exotic nesses,” she sald, as he ralsed his glass to his lips. “‘You like your one cocktall the moment you arrive.
