The man with the peculiar eyes came in languidly. “Mrs. Viney's the freshest thing| I've seen this morning,” he admitted. | “Don’t be a fool,” recommended Monica, flushing.

There was something in the ring of his volce that suggested he feared opposition on the part of the Com- missioner of Police himself; but Hewitt shot from his chair and |/ %3 my usual elaborate disguise, trying dropped both hands on the younger At Anaiaue Don't you see my|@any ordinary man. point?" man’s shoulders, “Pennington, old son,” he declared, “there's nothing on this earth that| I'd like better.” “Thanks,” sald the other huskily. “If you ask me my opinion, T ghould say you've as much likelthood the island. ~—now ?" | | went into mourning. |enough for me, and it ought good enough for you."” “Ah!" commented Chinese Penning- ton, still unconvinced. any idea where they buried him?" ;| Pennington. “What are my chances, d'you think celebrith lowing. stick up a monument over his last of being ’“"\;‘;‘“‘d;t“”;"‘l e hon | Testing-place instead ot keeping the 4 whole affalr a dead secret?” Pennington dropped wearily into chair, “I'm not satisfled,”” he told him. | “Mv contract was to get the blighter |dead or allve.

A chair—a long cane affair, with cushions in chintz covers—was drawn up so closely that its protruding arm almost touched hers. The very proximity of the thing thrilled him and he accepted the invitation it cffered. “You wanted to talk to me,” he ventured at length. The girl regarded him thoughtfully, “Yes,"” she admitted. “I want you to tell me what I ought to do. It seems so dreadful not to have some definite object in life.

That's just what I wanted to talk to you about. I've received a proposal of marriage!"” She paused to observe the effect of her statement upon her hearer, but she could only see the few unruly hairs that sprouted up at the back of his head, just where the irregular parting ended. “Verbal?" he inquired with exag- gerated disinterestedness. “No, in writing. Would you like to see it?" “Good Lord, no!"” He turned toward her, his boyish face twisted into an expression of horrified amazement. “Oh, I wouldn’t have shown it to You see, I don’t regard you as an ordinary being.” “What's his name?” asked Pen- nington grimly. “It begins with a ‘D,”” she volun- “Chai-Hung was a|teered wickedly. “Dawson!" “T didn’t say it was Dawson!” She looked down at her fingers. “Would you advise me to marry him?" she continued innocently. “Great heavens, Mrs. Viney!
