Friendly warning or threat, that message had been meant for her, or the persan she was suspected of be- ing, and her challenge had been ac- cepted. But what did it all mean? Other passengers passed on their matutinal promenade, among them a blond, rather distinguished looking man of middle age, who glanced at her quizzically, but with a wholly im- personal regard, and Julia Deane vouchsafed him no second thought. Where was Mr. Marfott? Philip Mar- fott, the passenger list announced him. Tt was a nice name. It fitted him, somehow. What if she should accept his offer of services tomorrow? She hadn’t the least notion of the bother of getting through the customhouse even with nothing dutiable to declare, and If it did entail giving him her real name- ? Whell, she didn’'t know herself quite how big a man Daddy was in America, but it would be comforting to have this inquisitive young man know she wasn’t just any- body! Daddy! Only twice had he come to her, loaded with extravagant toys and marvelous sweets, in the 12 years she had spent with the sisters. She didn't remember much before than, a tiny mite of 7 wouldn’t, naturally. There'd been a rambling cld house, as large and stately in memory as a chateaux of France; but in grounds less arti ficlally perfect; a nurse called “Ruth and heaps of other servants as well as many guests who came and went so quietly that she only caught occa- sional, shadowy glimpses of them, ex- cept for Daddy's attorney, an old gen- tleman with a shock of silvery hair, whose name was Mr. Horace Gra) She remembered that only because of little notes he had written to her in- closed with checks for the sisters when Daddy had been away off some- where on a long trip. There'd never been any other childre nto play with, and no lingering recollection remained of the mother whom the sisters had told her was with God, but now she and Daddy would relive it all again. There was the young Cana- dian at last! No one else on board walked with that peculiar, free stride that wasn't just a swagger, nor held himself with quite that airof wholly unconscious superiority. Was he coming straight to her? Miss Deane glanced up, unaware of the sudden brightening of her blue eyes or the quick flush in her cheeks, but a moment later she was conscious of an odd sensation of blankness, for he had passed with a bow that wasn't exactly pleasant, although she could not have told why.

The Mother Superior must know that she was safe on the last lap of her home- ward journey, and that she was sorry for the anxiety she must have caused. Also there were messages to send to the girls who had been her in- separable friends in that time which seemed so long ago even now, and al- though ‘t wasn't an easy letter to write she bent to her task assiduously. Deep in the second page, Miss Deane was only subconsciously aware that another passenger had taken the op- posite place, separated by the low rack of stationery, until she looked up and met the blue-gray eyes of Philip Mariott. 'Shall I disturb you?” he asked. She shook her head, but slid the blotter over the upper part of the page. “1 was just finishing.” In evidence, she added a gushing farewell and signed “Julia Deane™ with very black, heavy strokes of her pen, then addressed an envelope to a fictitious girl on a randomly chosen street in Paris. When she had sealed it the young man bent forward and spoke again in a low, hurried tone. “May I speak to you for a moment, Miss Deane?” He stressed the name. “Will you come over to the settee beside the bookcase? - We shall be quite private there and this is ur- gent!” There was something almost as un- pleasant in his tone as there had been in his earlier greeting, and it was authoritative, actually command- ing! For an instant the girl was tempted to refuse, but curiosity got the better of her pique and, nodding coolly, she rose, strolling over to the seat indicated. As he followed she observed: “I really don't understand in the least! You were almost rude yester- day, Mr. Mariott, and now- ? What can you possibly have to say to me in private?” “Yesterday I was curious about you; today I know.” He spoke brusquely. “We anticipated your re- JOKERE than terror made every nerve vibrat but she heard herself reply coolly: “What good would that do you? They'd find you here, and even if they didn't, they would know where to look for the person who shot me.” “What do you mean?” The moutn of the revolver was lowared a trifle and a quick inspiration came to Jane:. “You took it for granted that I had destroyed that book, didn’t you? Also that I was really traveling quite alone? 1 don't know what my—my friend will arrange to have done with you when we reach port, but I can promise you won't be molested till then if you go away quietly and leave me alone.” She marveled at the steadiness of her own voice and that her very teeth did not chatter from the icy coldness which was creeping all through her, but she felt lightheaded, buoyant, car- ried along by a strength greater than her own. “What if I squeal the other woman snarled. “What if I blow the whole game? You know what'll hap- pen if you're found with it? You'll disappear quietly, without any fuss, but—you'll never be heard of again™ “But I won't be found with it!" Janet retorted. “If I thought you would belleve me I could give you my word that what you seek is not in this cabin. Moreover, everybody on board could be searched and it wouldn't be found! You don't kno who my-—my friend is. and nobodv would even listen to your story, but they'd listen to another that would be told it I were injured—and my pearls discovered in your possession' “Your pearls!” the woman repeated dazed, and then burst out in a sub- dued fury. “You little baby-faced devil! You've beaten me now, but I'l take my chances with your ‘friends,’ as you call them, when we get ashore! How do I know your' pearls aren’t planted now?" She added the question with sud- den, shrewd suspicion, and although “planted” was a new word to asso- ciate with pearls in the girl's mind, Janet had heard many strange expres- sions that day and the meaning of the phrase was unmistakable. What could she reply? The single strand of tiny, perfectly matched pearls which turn to America about this time and our people very cleverly picked you up within a mile of the convent.” “Do_you mean Mr. and Mrs. Gra- ham, from America?’ Miss Dean ex- claimed in an incredulous but guarded tone. “Who are your people, Mon- sleur-who-travels-for-a-London-firm?"” “Your story of running away was clever, too.” He ignored her ques- tion. “Naturally, the sisters will neither deny nor afirm it. Slick work for a little convent girl, but the blood is in you!" He was jeering at her, actually treating her with contempt! The first person in all her life who.dared to speak to her so! Her face went very white. “Are you trying to pretend that you know who I am? I mean that I'm not Julia Deane?” “‘Still bluffing?” he sneered, but his eyes held a look of disillusionment that was almost pain. *I've been per- fectly aware all along that you were Janet Dane; I wonder a more clever alias wasn’t provided for you! I wasn't sure of the whole truth until yesterday, but I warn you now you can't get away with it. Your game's up and you're in danger; better drop it before it's too late and turn what you're carrying over to me! I can at least protect you. “Protect me?” There wrs loathing in her voice and she shrank from him as though he were some noisome thing. “You insult me! I am Janet Dane, and I'm going to my father! Do you know who he is, and what he will do to you for this? Let me pass!” She swept by him and out in the companionway, but once beyond his hateful view she fairly fled to her stateroom and, locking her door, sank dotvn on the berth, her face buried in her hands. It was “not mistaken identity, after all! Both these horrible people thought she had something tremendously valuable in her posses- sion and were trying to get it from her! But what could it be; how did they think she came by it, and what dreadful sort of creatures were they? She scarcely touched the luncheon and dinner which were brought to her, but paced the narrow cabin in a fever of resentment and fear. If only she were on land, with daddy! Wouild to- morrow never come? At ten a discreet knock came on her door and she asked, cautiously, was her most treasured gift from her father was in the purser's safe. + « . All at once she smiled. “They will not be ‘planted’ until the alarm is raised,” she assured her unwelcome visitor. “My friends—w do not settle our quarrels that way. “I ought to know that!” There was something in her. short, almost silent laugh which made Janet's flesh crawl. “All right; it’s a stand-off until we get ashore. I ought to have figured you'd be equal to this, but I didn’t, some- how; you being such a kid, and then the convent and all! T thought they'd. - keep you clear of the game, but I guess they couldn't even if they anted to. It isn’t training with you,- it's a gift! And I kidded myself into - belleving you didn't know what they - were using you for, that you were going it blind! Never mind, my dear; next time I'll have your number! Mrs. Carlin dropped the revolver into the pocket of her dark dressing gown and slipped away, closing the door silently behind her. For a few moments thercafter a slight, muffied stir came from the next statercom, and then all was still, but Janet lay as_the intruder had left her. Reaction from the hideous strairf had brought faintness and a deadly nausea and she shook as with an- ague, gasping and fighting down an insensate desire to scream. She had warded off the imminent peFll, but what could the future have in stors before she succeeded in reaching her father? She would be safe then, of course, but'nwhah 't -.Tnerlm to lwu': greet him ! To run away bad enough, but to be hounded by criminals who thought she was just like themselves, that she had in her possession something so terrible that it it were found she would “dis- appear” and never be heard of again! . .. Why hadn’t she gone straight to the p\i.rurr Then Janet recalled that until the last few minutes she could accuse neither the Carlin woman nor - Philip Mariott of anything definite, and to have made the attempt would mean divulging her own identity: daddy could never forgive her if the story of her escapade reached the papers, and she would hate to have him think her helpless, unable care of herself! The woman, as well as Philip Mariott, had known her identity -and who was there. - “A steward, miss,” came the re- spectful answer. “I have something for you from the doctor.” Janet Dane opened the door. A steward indeed stood there alone, proffering a jug and a glass on a tr: ’ he ex- claimed. “The doctor missed you at lunch and dinner, and thought if you were not feeling quite all right this might help you to sleep, miss.” Janet took it, thanked him and re- locked her door. She didn’t know ship’s doctors were so thoughtful when their services were not called in, but the concoction sounded de- lighttul and worry had given her a ‘burning thirst. At the first sip, however, she eyed the glass askance. It had an odd taste, not quite like any hot lemonade she had taken before. Could it be ‘Hot lemon squash, miss, ? Rut she mustn't let her nerves get the best of her! Of course the doctor had sent it! Still, she didn’t really need it. Janet hesitated a moment longer, then poured it impulsively down the handbasin, and brepared for bed. If she could sleep a little it would bring the day that much nearer and then she would be free from those odious people forever! How long she did sleep Janet never knew, but she awakened to find a tiny, sharp gleam of light darting around the stateroom and to hear the rustle of garments and tinkle of toilet articles being thrown about. A thief! Instinctively her hand sought the button in the woodwork beside her and, in the sudden glare of light which flooded the room, a crouching woman rose and whirled Janet faced Mrs. Carlin's fu- rious, desperate eyes and the glitter of a revolver pointed at her breast!

Jlotel because, even with that knowledge, they still belleved she was in pos- session of some dreadful, mysterious thing, she could never have convinced them that she knew nothing about it. There was something very strange about all this—that Richard Dane’s daughter could be connected, even in thought, with such an affair. Daddy must know as soon as possible, for there could be nothing! Then, suddenly, Janet started up and stared vacant-eyed about the dis- ordered stateroom, her thoughts wing- ing back straight as an arrow to five years before, on the occasion of her father’s last visit to the convent, when he had given her the pearls! He h‘d. given her something else besides, a tiny, square platinum wrist watch on a narrow, gray ribbon, and his words, gruft with feeling, seemed to ring again in her ears. “Never wind it, Janie; never change the hands from where they are now. The sisters won't let you wear it here, but if ever you're outside these gray old walls, alone and in trouble, and you want help, put it on. Some one'll come—I can’t tell you how quickly—and ask if you're sure it's seven o'clock. Whether that's the right time or not, you ask, ‘What hour do you wish it was?" and if the answer is, ‘It's always seven,” you'll know it is a friend to trust. You won't forget, Janie? ‘It's’ always + seven? " Forget? Janet Dane smiled to her- self, the childlike faith in her father no surer than her trust in the tnlmunmnv&m that still ml,:l:: passed, the come before she reached home faded suddenly into insignificance. She had a charm against them all! Just before noon the next day the great ship floated mejestically up the bay and, leaning over the rail on the starboard side, well forward, Janet rested her arms upon it with clasped hands and eyes fixed upon the tower- ing shafts of buildings still vague and misty in the distance, but glistening like falyy turrets with the sun on myriads of windows. ‘The lace had fallen away from her left wrist and a narrow, gray ribbon, faded and a trifle frayed now, e circled it, holding in place the little platinum watch with its motionless hands.
