His expression betrayed no anxiety. He knew his worth. knew the pregnahility of the safe in which his master placed so great confidence and to which he had consigned the papers and orders he had just received from Washington until the ball was over and he had time to study the in- structions at his leisure. The cracksman heaved a sigh of re- liet as his sensitive finger tips told him the last tumbler had fallen.

As the butler‘s face framed itself on the threshold theldoor was opened that led to the ballroom. a burst of music vibrated there. then all was silence. The butler closed the door swiftly behind him and glided across the floor. stopping before the safe. his dexterous fingers manipulat- ing-the knobs with a careless certainty with disreputable houses that leaned at drunken angles toward one another. the filthy windows winking blearily to their neighbors. he paused before the largest of these places.

Then he sighed heavily as he realized he stood on the threshold of another change; that the courtship of his aid had finally been SUCCeSSful and another household would soon be occupied in Otficers‘ row. leaving him alone in this great house. Faintly sweet the tantalizing perfume lingered in the room, and the rustle or Lucille Love‘s skirts seemed still to sound against the walls or the tiny room which General Sump- ter Love used as his private otfice; the echo of Lieutenant Gibson’s pleading tones had not departed when the door leading to the servant’s quarters moved. In print, as on the moving pic- ture screen, “Lucille Love” is a thrilling, rapid fire story. It takes its heroine, a young woman of charm and beauty, into the strangest of situations. There she braves the perils of sea and land for the sake of her love. As the situations unfold, with the swiftness and ease of the moving picture, the reader finds himself following, as he would the living movements of the reel, the fortunes of Lucille, her foe, Loubeque, the interna- tional spy, amid scenes of ship- wreck and the wildness of na- ture, on sea, among the islands of the cannibals and elsewhere. But Lucille and her arch foe are not the only two in the pic- ture and story whose movements are followed with the tribute of intense interest. The old gen- eral, Lucille’s father,- her lover, Lieutenant Gibson; the chief of the savages and others all stand out distinctly in the panorama of picture and story. THE GIRMt MYSTERY W559.
