—— — — — ~ — THIS HAS HAPPENED Ashtoreth Ashe, Boston stenog- rapher, traveling to the West In- dles, meets two fascinating people Jack Smythe, a young Englishman who looks remarkably like the Prince of Wales—and kisses her thoroughly—and Mona de Musaset, with whom she rooms. Mona is & beautiful terious tady. Smythe warns Ash- toreth against her, saying that she is unmoral. But Mona has been very sweet and generous — and Ashtoreth hates to disrupt thelr pleasant little intimacy. Then Smythe accuses Ashtoreth of being a gold-digger, declaring that she cares for Mona only be- caurg of the gifts she has re- celved. Ashtoreth is very indig- nant, ‘but realizes that there may be a little truth in what he says 8he walks way from him angrily and goes to find her roommate. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ¥ CHAPTER XVIII Mona, when she came on deck, had changed hor white drese for a complete outfit of green. She had dressed, as usual, with complete disregard of the conventions. There were large single pearls in her ears, and a triple string of them about her throat. $he sank gracefully in her deck chalr, and crossed her slim ankles, Mona seldom wore stockings. Her legi weére brown and very slender, She smiled luminously at Ashto- reth, and, leaning forward, kissed her swiftly. “Y have meen Meester Smythe, she sald, ¥and he told me what he bad already told you. He sy, also ~Mona wrinkled her brows per- plexedly—"Oh, yes—he say you are my trumpery little triumph. -But, 1aa cherle, that is not so, He tell ma I flaunt you in the faces of the fat ladies: That I have embar- russed you, because now they will not spcak to you when I go to Guadeloupe, And you will be all alone." Ashtoreth Mona's knees. “I am sorry,” she sald, “that he distressed you, hecause, honestly, Mona, I don't give a darn about these women, I like you heaps bet- ter. I'm sorry you're leaving at Guadeloupe, because it's becn lovely having you for a roommate. Mona dear—trily—if all these cats came crawling on their knees, I wouldn’t speak to them, I shan’t mind a bit Being alone.” A suspicion of tears dimmea Mona's eyes. She jumped quickly to her feet. “Then,” she cried, “we shall go ashore together, Thers Chiness shop there, and I shall buy my little friend 2 Mandarin’s coat, because she is a good girl, and I love her. And a little trimket of jade, for good luck. Then you may say, T Xnew . Mona de Musset, and she brought me good tuck. " She was excited as & child. “Come ~ quickly,” she begged, *and you shall wear a dress to give thd fat ladies pains. One I have not ever worn, It was made for you, ma cherie.” and mys- taid her handson That evening Mona stayed ashore. Ashtoreth had dinner brought on deck. And there Jack Smythe join- ed her. “I hope you're not angry with me,” he began. “But 1 am,” Ashtoreth told him. He took the chair by her gide, and began, leisurely, to till his pipe. “That's too bad,” he remarked, “because I've only one more night on board. And you know you haven't kissed me yet.” “Kissed you!” she ecried. “Why, T wouldn't kiss you if you were the last man on earth.” He it his pipe before replying. “Oh, yes, you would,” he assured her. “Mona won't be back till late. She has lots of friends in port. S8he didn’t ‘ask you to stay ashore with her, T notice." “She did, too!™ lled Ashtoreth. Smytha looked at her sharply. “Y don’t believe it,” he retorted. “But that's all right. You can’t blame the girl. It makes it very much nicer for us, besides. I'll have vou all to myself now, up on the top deck. The moon is absolutely full tonight, and the sky will be #imply brimming over with starn A perfect night for romance.” Ashtoreth poured another cup of tea, and dropped a slice of lime in it. She would be just as casual sbout it as he was. “A perfect night,” “But not for you and me, you know I don’t like you?"” “Well, T noticed that T hadn’t exactly slain you,” he admitted “But you couldn’t help lowing me a little tonight—the moon, you know. and the stars. The tropics begin to get in your blood. This sultry cli- mate, don't you know, is awfuily conducive to love.” Ashtoreth dimpled. “Yes,* she said, “T suppose it must be. I hope I meet somebody nice before the trip’s over. It's just to0 bad you're the only man around.” He laughed good naturedly. “We’ll have a dance after din- fier.” he proposed. “And then when it gets a little dark, we’ll leave their old orchestra flat. We'll go up and talk to the stars.” she agreed. Don't Mona had not returned. and Ash- toreth was bored At eight o'clock Jack knocked on her stateroom door. And she greeted him in a swirl of chiffon. pink as the heart of a rose. Mona had insisted it dia not suit her. and was a little tight besides. It was perfect on Ashto- reth. “You're gorgeous.” Jack told hey *T told you you were beautiful.” “It's Mona's,” she informed him pertly. “The dress, T mean. It's so flattering. anyona would look pretty in it. The beads are hers, too. and the earrings T wish T could wear her shoes, but they're just a little too big for me.” “Gold digger,” he retorted. “Yon're Incorrigible — and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.” “Il go up on deck with you,” she countered, ‘hecause it's alto- gether too wonderful to miss. But > —— =g — \»(5 — “You'ro gorgeous,’ .
