CHAPTER e Then, with a desperate effort to placate him: "I did my very best In the card- room, Jose. You said at the time how well I'd done!" He nodded, grudgingly. "You're a wonder, when you really cy! But lately it seems as though you'd got religion, You'll be wanting to go into aconvest next!" "And leave you? I--I couldn't!" He could beat her and {ll-treat her, as Indéed he very often did, but-- like a faithful dog--she would crawl back to him. Some women are like that. Jose was a double-dyed rogue, but he had hypnotized Deirdre. And he realized his power. He changed his tack now. "Jake and Andy and I have fixed up a little job for you. Nice, lady- like, refined," he chuckled nastily. "You know the Beau Regard hotel in Biarritz? The Countess of Blank. shire is stopping there, and Jake has engaged the room next to hers, on your behalf he can't take it for himself," because the Countess fis 80 terrified of burglars that she pays the manager to put only ladies og that floor--and I want you to go on over, and get friendly with her, Deirdre. You can do it perfectly, so don't start Jewing. Wear the quiet brown 'transformation,' and pose ae a titled French widow. You'll pull it off all right!" He patted her reassurringly on fer bruised arm, and she gave a little cry of pain. "If I don't pull it off, I'll get tive years in quoid, maybe," she mur: mured. '"The police 'ud rake ° up everything. Sometimes. Jose, I think Scotland Yard's watching me, and Just waiting, waiting--" . "Nonsense, girl, don't jose your aerve! D'you remember the last time you were of French nobility, when you bored the hole in the wall into thé English madam's dressing room, and chloroformed the matd was asleep fn a chair, for fear she'd wake; and cleared the whole place out?" And he chortled appreciatively, Her dog-like passion for him mere. ly bored him, but he turned it to 800d account. He fully realized skill in sleight of hand! Deirdre drew him on a divan that Was gay with multi-coloured cush- || fons, and slipped a hand about nfs neck, "Listen, Jose. 1 have a plan." She rabbed her cheek against his olive tinted one. Her voice as low and very much in earnest. "I've been round the managers and agents, and they're all on the lookout for a clever dancing cottple, as you and I used to be, and we could easily land a job on the halls, at--say-- thirty quid a week." Then, hurried- ly, seeing his face harden: "I'd sleep easier at nights, Jose, if you and I were running straight! Time and again I wake up, all of a tremble, "thinking the 'tecs' are here." "Aha! So that's why you take the sleeping-powders? Fine excuse, my dear!" he sneered. She flushed sensitively, "1--1'd 'give 'em up, Jose, honest I would, #t I had an easy con- science! And---and I love you 80 Taistently to that faithless ad it'd kill me if the police were to put you away=-or maybe catch me first and lock me away from you, 1 --we're swell dancers, Jose--we could draw down big money. No one can get near our class" "Shut up, you fool!" the man sald, irritably, pushing her away, and rising. "I'm- after bigger " fish than your beastly jobs. If you don't do as I tell you, don't be surprised one fine morning to find me gone-- for good--or maybe I should say 'for evil'! And he chuckled grimly. Deirdre buried her face In the garish cushions, with a heart too sad for tears. "How beautiful Marcella!" 'Warwick Treman leant across the table in the crowded grillroom of the restaurant Marcella had select- ed, and gazed appreciatively at his lady-love, She had been rather silent and "distralte" throughout dinner, but of course the constant banging of the orchestra had prevented talk. (Marcella had chosen this place partly for that very reason, had he only known it.) She tried to smile at attempt. "Flatterer!" she retored. Someone else had used those very words to her, hardly. more than a week ago. How happy she had been! And how wonderful if the map opposite could have been transtorm. ey into that fascinating, handsome "someone else." What & painful thing love Really one suffered far beyond compensating pleasures! She must drag Miles Holden from you look to-night, him, a wan was! its her mind and. heart. Warwick was talking eagerly. Something about a car. She nodded at intervals, as if taking in the gist of everything he said, although her thoughts turned. painfully and per. 'someone' who had wrought such havoc to her peace of mind. What was Miles doing at this ment? Where was he? "We'll go for a trial spin to-mor- row, shall we-" Warwick Was say. ing. "It has no differential, but I'm sure you'll love it." Marcella stared. "The little car I'm mo- giving you,» sald he, explaining. "Oh, mo. I couldn't, 1 mean--it's much too soon--'" she stammered. She scanned the big room quickly, hoping to Hght on a brand-new topye to distract his mind. Her gaze rest- ed on a yellow-haired woman who Seated alone at a distant table, had her elbows stuck out before her, and her two hands propping up her chin, in an attitude of hopeless dejection. There was something familiar in the woman's pose. . . ' "Why, that's a Birl T met on boardship. Deirdre was her name. Poor soul, how miserable ghe looks!" eried- Marcella in quick pity, Then. to her companion: "Id like to run over and talk te her for a moment. I'm sorry ( for her." x Warwick Treman's gaze followed Marcella"s, "The blonde woman over there?" "Yes. Awtully down on her luck, at the table POOF creature!" ra "| "And halt dollars! 1rring Serial of Primitive Passions byMay Christie The man rose at once. He had al- ready paid .the bill, and-- "I'll get my hat and stick from the coatroom, and meet you out- side," he said hast, in a queer, strained voice, staring at the yel. low-haired woman with a growing conviction. Was it. . could it de . «Good God!. . , , "All right. I shan't be more than a moment," said Marcella. She did not see that Warwick Tre. man's face had turned a sickly green, and that beads of 'perspira- tion had mantied on his forehead. (To Be Continued.) | The Market Report | LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
