She felt a severe bump â€" and looked around to gee Bates, pcr.spiring and apologetic, piloting a Strang wo..:an awkwardly nearby. De Loma's start and quick leap aside startled her more than the colli- sion between the two coupleg. Though Bates bemoaned his clumsiness and begged a thousand pardons, De Loma's look would have slain him if it could. It was not until she and Bates were left alone together at the tab'e while De Ixjma, to whom there was no dance but the tango, went to speak to the orchestia leader, that she learned the little incident had been intentional. "He's got a gun," Batts whispered to Mary. "He carries it on the right side. Did I step on you?" "Some," Mar>' confessed, wriggling a bruised toe, "but anything for the cause." The press of so many extra guests had made service slow. Mary noticed that their dinner as still in its early stage.s. Unless he chose to walk out and leave his food uneaten, Dirk was- ctmmitted to remain where he was for some tiiv.,^ ^ least. Well, she would make thai lime memorable for him, she resolved fiercely. Mr. Jupiter, who had ben learning restle.-.sly along the low wall that edged the roof, csten.sibly looking at the Ambassador's famous "view," now cr.me back and leaaod down to speak t) her. ".Mary, I'm goin,j down to the Gyp- sy. I can't sit here and .see that fel- low gyrating around out there like a â€" like a damned top. He ought to be dancing <jn the end of a rope. I'll put him there, too! It makes mo sick to watch him." He did look as if he were imder a .severe strain. Mai7 <aid she would follow .soon, and addeii in an under- tone to Bates, "lliidn'l you better go with him?" Bates npjieared worried. The old man looked far 'rom well, but there was the necklace 10 think of. "I'll put him in a cab, anyhow," he finally decided, "and be right back; a d I want to stop and see how the boys are coming with the searching of De Ix)mn's room. "I'm i.ot afraid, hut hurry back!" "Listen! You better give me that!" Bates leaned forward. "With that gun The Fly's liable to ,hink he can stand 'fcm all off and tiv something desper- ate." "But 1 can't give it to you here!" M'iry whispered impatiently. "Pull your wrap up while you un- fasten it. Drop it in your napkin an-d lay the napkin on the table, and I'll pick it up. I'll .vutch." Mary did as he said. Mr, Jupiter was tramping around the room to the exit. Mary suddenly saw De Ixrnia and the orchestra Icatier end their confab, and De I>onia turn and walk swiftly toward their table. "He's coming!" Bates r. se hur- riedly as she spoka, gr.nbbing the nap- kin and stuffing it in his inside pocket quickly. He cut straight across the room and caught up with Mr. Jupiter at the door. De Loma dropped into the chair beside her. â- 'Ah, these American orchestras! " ht scoffed. "They kiiow nothing but the jazz. Would you believe he has not a single tango on the program for tonight? I told him, 'Play me the tango, and you will see .something!' Il3 will play it, but he thinks not many in this crowd can dance it- â€" they : re older folk, mostly. For them he plays the waltz!" He shook his head in amazement. "What good \a riches if you can only d: nee the waltz?" He wa.s deadly in earnest about it and in her relief at having the neck- lace out of her possession and safely tucked away in Bates' pocket, Mary almost laughed. She as seeing a new and strange side of the man. Then he noticed that the other p!;.ces at their table '.ere empty. "They have gone and left us, eh? The old one? And ? tes, toe? Ah. but the night is young!" He tumad toward her, switching on his passion- ate manner as if it had been an elec- tric light. He made as if t^. take her hand, but Mary moved awcy convul- sively. So long as he did not try to make love to her, she could endure himi â€" bvt not that. Now she became aware ol some- thing under the napkin on which ht?r right hand rested â€" the necklace! Bates hndn't taken it after all! In his hurry he had .seized an empty one and stuffed it in his pocket without k-oking â€" and the Jupiter necklace was still here, underneath her hand. Sh<5 might have picked it up and put it on again- â€" afterward it occur- ed to her that that had been the sen- sible thing to do. But at the moment she was too panicky. Almost as if he read her thoughts, De L-jma suddenly noticed the absence oi" the rubies. "You have â€" lost your necklace?" he. a;;ked in a choking voice, pointing to her throat. "Oh, no,'' she managed to laugh. "X was so warm, r.nd the stones are so heavy, I just UhA: it off." His sinister face relaxed. She saw his eyes creeping over her, the table, her handbag, searching it iut. "But you had m- frightened for a linute!" he chided her. "Such a valu- able string couH easily become â€" lost in a crowd like this." "I asked Mr. Bai,es to lock i;, up for me," she said, deliberately, answering his unspoken quest.on. His face hard- ened, .seemed to lock together as if he vere shutting in his feelirgs with a titanic effort. At tl at moment the orchestra began to i)lay "Two Tears." Unsmiling, he tapped out his cig- arol and said, "It is the tango. Will >;iu dance it with me?" "W il you picic \ip my glove, plea.se?" Mary asked, on sudden inspiration. "I ..link I dropped it over there." Sur- prised, ho bent over and made an effort t locate the glove, which lay where she had thrown itâ€" ^under the table. There was nothing for him to do but get down on his knees and piclv it up. In that moment Mary unclasped her purse on the table, slipped the neck- lace into it and clasped H aga n. She wa.s shaking out a fresh handkerchief to account for that loud snap of the handbag's fastener when he arose. The problem was far from solved, Mary realized. Where was Bates? she wondcre<i. Reluctantly she rose and let De Loma's arm encircle her. She dreaded to dance â€" with Dirk there, watching. De Loma broke in upon her thoughts, nodding toward the table. "Do you leave your purse there like that? How careless you ar;!" "It's safe enough," she shrugged. And indeed, she felt, the danger was about the sam â-  either way- -whether Tlic Leader for Fot'ty Years "SALAM TEA ' "Fresh from the Gardens" i .she left it lying there, or carried it with her. And there wa.s the chance Bates would come bat'- in a moment and take charge of it. "Besides," she added, "thei'e's no- thing in it." He did not believe her, she knew. "Let's not dance," she said suddenly. "Not dance? But this is the tango they are playing expic-sly lor you and me. Here," he reached out and st iffed the handbag into his pocket. "I will take care of that for you. Come!" Where, oh, where had Bates gone, and why didn't he come back? Wildly her thoughts flew, devising ways to get the purse away from hm, trying to guess what he mea:it to do. To cover her fright she flirted with De Loma with a sort of feverish vi- vacity. She knew le was a hideous- ly bad actress. She read the crafty, exultant gleam in De Loma's eyes for what it was â€" a sure belief tha' he had tha Jupiter necklace in his pocket at lest. He played up to her in kind â€" look- ing down at her with veiled eyes and a mocking smile that had triumph in it and enjoyment of her terror. Dirk! It came to her as a faint g'eam of hope ... if he could be made to help. They passed and repassed the table but Dirk never once looked her way. She dared not ask De Loma for the bag, for fear of revealing its contents ' . him with certainty ... he would not give it up now without showing fight, she felt .sure. Never in her life had M^ary behaved other than decorovsl;, in public, but she was not behaving like :•. lady to- night. She let the rhythm of the music take her and do with her as it would. De Loma, catching fire from her, invented steps, rediscover<Hl old ones. They danced ;iS one^ â€" and it was a sight to stir the blood. The floor began to clear, the entire room to grow still, watching them with breathless attention. "Bravo!" someone crie<I, and someone else, un- able to resist the rhythm, began to snap his fingers. Dirk was watching now. Mary saw his eyes on her, lik-? slits, through the fog of cigaret-smoke. Cornelia watch- ed, too. Mary felt a wicked thrill o" joy. i De Loma, apparently wishing to ini- ' press the open-mouthed Ethel, now whe€le<l about and aimed thei.' steps deliberately at Dirk's table. The hov- ering spotlight incluled the thres ' watching faces in its white, revealing glow. Mary sav Dirk's hands trembl- , ing violently.. | She felt herself whirled about, her , body bent back. Above her De Loma's grinning, gloati. g face like something in a dream â€" then she felt his lips on her mouth. In the next instant Dirk, whitcfaced, his eyes blazing with murderous fury, had sent De Ix)nia hurtling backward w'ith one hard blow. From the floor, where .she sand when De Loma's arm released its grip ubout her, she saw- Dirk hurl himself at the reeling man a second time . . . saw De Ijoma t/.row back his coat and reach for his tun. "Look out!" .she screamed and threw her arm before her eyes. She crouched where she was, terror- stricken, waiting for the shot she was sure wuld tome. (To be continued.)
