Lanyard thought the matter over a little. “Obviously, it would seem, you have not gone to all this trouble lured me aboard this yacht—merely to amuse vourselves at my expense and then knock me on the head “Absurd!" Liane declared ig: nantly. “As if T would permit such a thing, who owe you so much!" “Or look at it this way, monsieur,” Monk put in with a courtly gesture: “When one has an advers: whom one respects, one wisely prefers to have him where one can watch him.” “More than that,”” said Liane with Ter most killing glance for La *a dear friend.” Sut Lanyard was not to be put oft by fair words and flattery. “No.” he said gravely {s some deeper motive He sought Phinuit's Phinuit unexpectedly gave open-faced return “There is,” he stated frankly “Then why not tell me—?" “All in good time."

Captain Monk rang for the stewardgss and gallantly escorted the lady to her door Lan- yard got up with Phinuit to bow her out, but instead of following her suit helped himself to a long whiskey and soda. ‘I'mr afraid vou've got a tendency to overestimate the gullibility of people in general,” remarked Phinuit “Why this funny story of yours about wanting to get hold of the Montalais loot simply to slip it back to its owner?” Lanyard felt a spasm of anger con- strict his throat Nevertheless his courteous smile persisted “T presume, ain Monk, it's not too late to se a note ashore posted?

Lanyard accounted that quartet un- commonly clever, resourceful, aunda- cious, unscrupulons, and potentia ruthless, utterly callous to compunc- tions when their interests were Jeopardized. But it was inconceivable that he should fail to outwit and frustrate them, who had the love and faith of Eve de Montalais to honor, cherish, and requite. Trying to put himself in Liane's place, Lanyard believed that he would never have neglected the opportunity to steal away from Paris while he slept and leave him to gnaw his nails in the mortification of defeat Why she had not done so, why she had permitted Monk and Phinuit to play their comedy of offering him the jewels, passed understanding. But Lanyvard felt assured Liane would not keep him waiting long for enlightenment as to her intentions.
