There had been a wireless mes- sage on the boat from Jack Moore, lacking altogether in detail. “Everything fine,” he had radioed. “Of all the dumb messages!” uttered Sybil, and showed it to Mabel. “It do-sn't mean a thing.” “Oh, ves, it does, and I thi. sorry 1'm Rarb's a | sec_your face again cpined Mabel coolly, “that Jack is | auite worthy of being trusted.” PR That was the day the able Mr. Moore, fortified by a few drinks, dropped round to the e for the avowed intention of telling Richard what he thought of him. He delivered himself with scant forbearance and considerable elo- quenc2, saving his finishing touch for his grand finale. “Sybil and Mabel,” he proclaim- ed, wiping his forehead, for the strength of his endeavors had made him hot and moist.

Jack Moore had written that he understood Eustis had moved from the Seville to a smaller hotel in the suburbs, where John Arnold had taken a permanent residence. Arnold had become friendly with an American widow and had fi- anced the opaning of an Ameri- can Tea and Gifte Shoppe, of which they were to be co-partners. Richard was probably in on it too, wrote Moore. Living expenses were high in Havana, and he had reason to believe that Kustis had already found himself in debt. Away from the glamour of his presence, Sybil put Richard calm- ly down as an adventurer and a philanderer. “I don’t care that for him!" &k vould say, and snap her fingers derisively in the lonely darkness friend. “I reckon I'm world! minded, but it takes a mighty good sermon to up lift me much if I'm the only woman there that ain’t got on a new hat.” (Copyright, 1928, Publishers Syndicate) “Betty’s new beau is a worthless fellow, but I'm not sayin’ anything against him.

The carrings he had given her she hal left on her dressing table at the Seville. They had been lhis only gift.
