ICHENDA wished she would 80 on.. | There were other fellow pas- '"F explorer, dreams. things the girl Jonged know - about’ this vivacious perfumed woman. She sat sil- ent as the little bandage with its scent of disinfectant was placed round her tingling wrist. But the other vouch- safed no information—instead she was putting a series of frank questions to the girl, vivaciously, even a little gushingly, interspersed with lquedn of\ amazement. ““And you are all alone - out hen' But how thrilling!”" Then: “Do you mean to t€ll me you don’t know yet what you are going to do?” And: “We don't even know each onger: aames yet. ' Mine is Lucille D‘an& =~Mrs.—a widow, you know." So she wasn't Brett Fairway's wife! . And now the white brow was knit- #ing in perplexity “Richenda Peterson! I've heard that name before. jow—where? And it's curious, but your face is very familiar to me, I know I've seen you before—or your photograph. I won- der where it could have been.” - She paused in a moment's thought. “I think,” sald Richenda, ‘‘you probably saw both my name and my face in the newspapers.” = She been inclined toward the idea lh:t shé would tell as little as. possible of- herself o strangers in Africa: She had not reckoned on people remem- bering the winner of the blind ballot in this way. But, faced with such a remembrance as this woman showed, Richenda realized that to refrain from | * speaking would seem o0dd to Mrs. Davenant when later she remembered the things which now temporarily evaded her. Lucille’s eves danced. ‘‘How per- fectly lovely”" she cried. “It's like meeting Cinderella ¢ome out of her kitchen! Have you come to Kenya to find"a fairy prince?” = ‘The girl reddened. “I don't want a fairy prince,” she replied a little brusquely. “I came out—well, I don't quite know why—but, but every one talks so much about East Africa nowadays, and 1—thought I might #pend my holiday here just as well as in Siberia or Japan!” Not for a ‘bag of sovereigps would she have told this or something wonderful.

Or, perhaps—- Her thoughts ran rioting in school 1 tashion along a fairy path of im probabilities, - Then she shut the door’ and went sedately on her way to the reading’ mm where she had arranged to meet Mrs. Davenant, her little head held high and the quaint red earrings wfim against her slim neck as she ked, Luctlle .was already awalting_her in a daring gown of royal blueé taffeta. Ears, neck and wrist bore equip- ments of jade. The result was star- tling but rather wonderful.

It's a bit-comforting to hear of some one else in the same boat. We might do shopping together." “T'd love to.” Richenda felt a thrill of mixed gratitude and excitement. The boom of a brass gong suddenly reverberated through the hotel. “Time to dress,” cried Mrs. Dave- nant. “O, by the way, are you sitting at a table alone for dininer tonight?” Richenda nodded with a smile. “Why, that will never do,”” criedl the fair woman. “Come and dine at my table.
