sure that the mere announcement of it
would l>e slillicient to blast Jephsons
hopes for all time. Old Spencer Mey
rick, already inflamed by the episode
of the elder brother, was not likely to
take coolly the publication of Harrow
by's incriminating letters.
After an early breakfast Minot sent
a cable to Jephson telling of Miss
Rose's arrival and asking for iuforma
tion about her.
Lunch time came—2 o'clock. At 2:30.

And what help was this, pray? Dis
gustedly Minot read the cable again.
Four o'clock the respite he had asked
froiu the Gaiety lady was coming on
apace, and wiih c cry tick of the clock
his feeling of helplessness grew. He
mentally berated Thacker and Jephson.
They left him alone to grapple with
wild problems, offering no help and
asking miracles. Confound them both!
Three o'clock came. W hat—what
was he to say? Lord Ilarrowby, in

frantic. lie couldn't raise a shilling,

Yet iie must be faithful to the last.
At a quarter to four he read .Teplisou s

Into Miss Hose's presence determined
to try out his weak little bluff.
CHAPTER X.
Tears From the Gaiety.
i" "iHR Gaiety lady was playing on
mtlie piano—a whispering, seduc
tive little tune. As Minot
stepped to her sale she glanced
up at him with a coy inviting smile.
But she drew back a little at his de
termined glare.
"Miss Rose." he said sharply, "1
have discovered that you can not sue
Lord Ilarrowby for breach of contract
to marry you."
' ''Wi^y—why not?"..she stammered.
| "Because," said Miliof, with a trl
! uiaphant smile, though it was a shot
in the dark, "you already had a hus
i bi nd when those letters were written
to you."
Well, he had done his best. A rather
childish effort, but what else was there
to attempt? Poor old Jephson!
"Nonsense," said the Gaiety lady,
and continued to play.
"Nothing of the s irt." Minot replied.
"Why, I can produce the man myself."
Might as well go the limit while he
was about it. That should be his con
solation when Jephson lost Might as
well—but what was this?
Gabrieile Hose had turned livid with
anger. Iler lips twitched, her china
blue eyes flashed fire. If only her law
yer had been by her side then! But he
wasn't. And so she cried hotly:
"He's told! The little brute's told!"
Good Lord! Minot felt his knees
weaken. A shot in the dark had hit
the target after all?
"If you refer to your hu3band," said
Minot, "he has done Just that."
"lle'G not my husband," she snapped.
Oil, what was the use? Providence
was with Jephson.
"No, of course not—not since the di
vorce," Minot answered. "But he was
wheu those letters were written."
The Gaiety lady's chin began to trem
ble.
"And he promised me, on his word of
honor, that lie wouldn't tell. But 1
suppose you found him easy. What
honor could one expect in a Persian
carpet dealer?"
A Persian carpet dealer? Into Minot's
mind floated a scrap of conversation
heard at Mrs. Bruee's table.
"But you must remember," he ven
tured. "that he is also a prince."
"Yes," said the woman, "that's what
I thought when I married him. He's
the prince of liars; that's as far as his
royal blood goes."
A silence while Miss Gabrielle Rose
felt in her sleeve for her handkerchief
"I suppose," Minot suggested, "you
will abandon the suit"—
She looked at him. Oil. the pathos of
that baby stare!
"You are acting in this matter sim
ply as Harrowby's friend?" she asked.
"Siuiply us his friend."
"And—so fur—only you know of my
-or— ex-husband?"
"Only 1 know of him," smiled Minot
The smile died front his face. For he
saw bright tears on the long lashes of
the Oalety iady. She leaned close.
"Mr. Minot," she said, "it is I who
need a l'rlend. Not II arrow by. I am
here in a strange country, without

funds, alone, helpless. Mr. Miuot, you
could not be so cruel."
"I—I—I'm sorry," said Miuot uucom
fortably.
The huly was an actress, and she act
ed now, beautifully.
"I—I feel so desolate," she moaned,
dabbing daintily at hor eyes. "You will
help me. It cannot be 1 am mistaken
in you. I thought—di.l I imagine It—
this morning when I sang l'or you—you
liked me—just a little'/"
Nervously Miuot rose from his chair
and stood looking down atelier. lie
tried to answer, but his voice seemed
lost.
'"Just a very little?" She, too, rose
and placed her butterfly hands ou his
shoulder. "You do like nie—Just a lit
tle, don't you?"
Her ["leading eyes gazed Into his. It
was a touching scene. To be besought
thus tenderly by a famous beauty in
the secluded parlor of a .southern hotel!
The touch of her hands on his shoul
ders thrilled him. The odor of Jockey
Club—
It was at this instant that Mr. Minot,
looking past the Gaiety lady's beautiful
golden coiffure, beheld Miss Cynthia
Meyriek standing in the doorway of
that parlor, a smile on her face. She
disappeared on the Instant, but Gabri
elie Rose's "big scene" was ruined be
yond repair.
"My dear lady"—gently Minot slipped
from beneath her lovely hands—"I as
sure you I do like you—more than a
little. But unfortunately my loyalty to
Harrowby—no, I won't say that—cir
cumstances are such that I cannot be
your friend in this instance. Though if
I could serve you in any other way"—
Gabrielle Hose snapped her fingers.
"Very well." Her voice had a metal
lic ring now. "We shall see what we
shnil see."
"Undoubtedly. I bid you good day."
As Minot, somewhat dazed, walked
along the veranda of the De la Pax he
met Miss Meyriek. There was a mis
chievous .gleam in her eye. __ _
"Ueally, it was so tactless of me, Mr.
Minot," she said. "A thousand apol
ogies."
lie pretended not to understand.
"My untimely descent on the parlor."
She beamed on him. "I presume it
happened because romance draws me—
like a magnet. Even other people's."
Minot smiled wanly, and for once
Bought to end their talk.
"Oh, do sit <?.«wn Just a moment," she
pleaded. "I want to thank you for
the great service you did ETarrowby
and me—last night"
"WJia-what service?" asked Minot,
sinking into a chair.
She leaned close and spoke In a
whisper.
"Your part In the kidnaping. Har
rowby has told me. It was sweet of
you, so unselfish."
"Fierce!" thought Minot. And then
he thought two more.
"To put yourself out that our wed
ding may be a success!" Was this
sarcasm, Minot wondered. "I'm so
glad to know about it, Mr. Minot. It
shows me at last—just what you think
is"—she looked away—"best for me."
"Best for you? What do you mean?"
"Can't you understand? From some
things you've said I have thought—
perhaps—you didn't Just approve of
my—marriage. And now I sec I mis
construed you—utterly. You want me
to marry Ilarrowby. You're working
for it. I shouldn't be surprised if you
were on that train last Monday just
to make sure—I'd—get here—safely."
"Really, It was Inhuman. Did she
realize how Inhuman it was? One
glance at Minot might, have told her
But she was still looking away.
"So I want to thank you, Mr. Minot."
she went on. "I shall always remem
ber your—kindness. I couldn't under
stand at first, but now—I wonder? You
know. It's an old theory that as soon as
one has one's own affair of the heart
arranged one begins to plan for oth
ers?"
Minot made a little whistling sound
through his clenched teeth The girl
stood up.
"Your thoughtfulness h:'.s nude trie
very happy," she laughed. "It shows
that perhaps you care for me'—lust n
little—too."
She was gone! Minot sat swearing
softly to hiuiself. banging the arm of
his chair wish his fist He raged at
