Robin remained standing for a moâ€" ment, looking after her, and someâ€" how he felt that his dregym was not yet ended. She turned the corner of the deck building and was lost to sight. Ho sat down, only to arise alâ€" most instantly, moved by a livelier curiosity than he ever had felt beâ€" fore. Conscious of a certain feeling of stealth, he scrutinized the cards in the backs of the two chairs. ‘The steward was collecting the discarded steamer rugs farther down the deck, and the few passengers who occupied chairs appeared to be snoozingâ€"all of which he took in with his first apâ€" praising glance. "Miss Guile" and "Mrs. Gaston" were the names he "Americans," be mused. "Young ledy and chaperon, that‘s it. A rcal Aimerican beauty! And Blithers.loudâ€" ly boasts that bis daughter is the prettiest girl in America! Shadea of Venus! Can there be such a thing on earth as a prettier girl than this one? Can nature have performed the impossible? Is America so full of lovely girls that this one must take second place to a daughter of Blithâ€" ers? I wonder if she knows the imâ€" perial Maud. I‘ll make it a point to inquire." _ "No," she said, and hbe fancied be ‘-- regret in her eyes. "I am going to my roomâ€"if I can find it. No doubt 1t also is lost. This seems to be a day }tu misplacing things." _ "At any rate, permit me to thank you for discovering me, Miss Guile." "Oh, I daresay Ishall misplace you, too, Mr. Schmidt.‘" She said it so inâ€" solently that he fushed as he drew himself up and stepped aside to allow ;hr to pass. For an instant their eyes met, and the sign of the bumble was uot to be found in the expression of cither. "Even that will be something for me to look forward to, Miss Guile," said he. Far from being vexed, she favored him with a faint smile ofâ€" was it wonder or admiration ? Aand, sure enouga, there were uns chairs of Miss Guile and her companâ€" on snugly stowed away in the corâ€" ner, standing at right angles b'z Jlong row that lined the deck., the rests pointed directly at the chair R. mm. had just vacated, not more a yard and a half away. "How stupid!" exclaimed Miss Guile. This is much better. So sorry, Mr. Schmidt, to have disturbed you. J abhor drafts, don‘t you?" Then she moved away, followed by the uneasy ladyâ€"who was old enough to be her mother and wasn‘t. "Not to the extent that I shall move out of this one," he replied gallantly, "mow that I‘ve got an undisputed claim to it. Are you not going to sit down, now that ‘we‘ve captured the disappearing chair?" Moved by a sudden restlessness, he decided that he was in need of exerâ€" cise, After completely circling the deck once he decided that he did not need the exercise after all. His walk had not benefited him in the least. He returned to his chair. As he turnâ€" ed into the dry, snug corner he came to an abrupt stop and stared. Miss Guile was sitting in her chair, neatly incased in a mummyâ€"like sheath of gray that covered her slim body to the waist. She was quite alone in her nook, and reading. An astonishing intrepâ€" idity induced him to speak to her aftâ€" er a lapse of five or six minutes, and so.surprising was the impulse that he blurted out his question without preâ€" amble. "How did you manage to get back so quickly?" he inquired. She looked up, and for an instant there was something like alarm in her lovely eyes, as of one caught in the perpetration of a guilty act. "I beg your pardon," she said, rather indistinctly. "I was away less than eight minâ€" utes," he declared, and she was conâ€" fronted by a wonderfully frank smile that never failed to work its charm. To his surprise, a shy smile grew in ‘lor eyes, and ber warm red lips twitched uncertainly. He had expectâ€" ed a cold rebuff. "You must have dropped through the awning?" ~ ‘"Your imagination 14 superior to that employed by ttro author of this book," she said, "and that is saying a good deal, Mr.â€"Mr."â€" & "Schmidt," he supplied cheerfully.

"Isn‘t | that the passenger list you have conâ€" ; cealed in that book?" he demanded. ; "It is," she replied promptly. "You will pardon a natural curiosity? I wanted to see whether you were from New York." "May I look at it, please?" She closed the book. "It isn‘t necesâ€" sary. I am from New York."

Of course he did not expect to find her there in westher like this, bupâ€"well, he looked, and that is the end to the argument. Quinmox and Dank were hopelemsly "I am so glad."

A half dozen unoccupiled chairs were eluttered about, having been abanâ€" doned by persons who overestimated their hardiness. One of the stewards was engaged in stacking them up and making them fast. Miss Guile‘s chair and that of Mrs. Gaston were stanchly fastened down and their rugs were in place. R. Schmidt experienced an exquisite sense of pleasure.

Then she deposited an armful of rugs and magâ€" azines at Robin‘s feet and clutched wildly at a post actually some ten feet away, but which appeared to be coming toward her with obliging swiftness, so nicely was the deck roâ€" tating for her. "Mon dieu! Mon dieu!" "You may go back to bed, Marie," cried her mistresgs in some haste. "But ze rug, i feex it," groaned the unhappy maid, and then once more, "Merci, m‘sieur!"
