Kitty. Smith had already necn
It. ITo waved It nsldo moodily.
La SIgnorlnn's oyes roved as In nn ef
fort to find somo way out
"It's a pretty kcttlo of flsli," said
O'Mally, rather pleased secretly In
having created so dramatic a moment
"There's nothing for 'us to do but to
clear out hog and baggage."
Then La Slgnorlnn roso to her feet
8ho took tho card from Kitty's An
gers, toro it Into many pieces and flung
them over tho wall.
"Wo hovo boon hPtraycdl" sbo cried,
a storm In her eyes.
"Betrayed? In what manner?" asked
nillard.
"Her highness has had no hand In
this. I know. Some ono with malice
has dono this."
La Slgnorlua, her arms folded, her
lips compressed Into a thin lino of
Bcarlet, tho anger In her eyes un
abated, began to walk back and forth.
O'Mally gripped Smith by tho nrm
and pointed to tho gates.
Two carablnlcrl and an Inspector of

camo up tho .path. The Inspector came
on. Without touching his can a bad
sign ho laid upon the ten table a card
and a nowspaper, familiar now to
them nil.
"Slgnorn," he snld politely, but coldly,
to tho whilom prima donna, "will you
do mo the honor to explain this? Wo
havo somo doubts as to tho uuthorlty
upon which this Invitation was Is
sued." She spoko evenly, almost Insolently.
"Tho Invitation Is perfectly regular."
Everybody experienced n chill.
This tlmo tho Inspector bowed.
"Then her highness will occupy her
villa?"
"She is already in possession. I am
tho Prlncipcasa dl Mouto Ulaucn,"
calmly.
Unci an enrthquako shattered tho
surrounding hills and gulfs opened nt

ror moro quickly ninong tho transient
guests nt tho Vlllo A rind no than this
declaration. They- know that sho was
not tho princess, and hero, calmly and
negligently, sho was Jeoparding their
liberty as woll ns her own, Sho was
innd.
Tho keen eyed Inspector took mental
note of theso variant oppressions.
"Your highness," ho Bnld, his cap
setting tho dust on tho stones flying,
"a thousand pardons for this disagree
able Intrusion. It was not olllclally
known that your highness was hero."
"It is nothing," replied tho psoudo
princess. "Only I desired to remain
incognito for tho present."
"And tho seals?" purred tho ofll
clnl. "Wo shall go through that formality
tho morning after tho ball. At present
I do not wish to bo disturbed with tho
turning of tho villa upsldo down, as
would bo tho case wero tho seals re
moved." "That will rcqulro tho permission of
tho crown, your highness,"
"Then you will set nbout at onco to
secure thls permission."
Tho nlr .with which sho delivered
this command was noblo enough for
nny one
"You will telegraph to Cranford &
Ilarlng, in tho Corso Umberto Prlmo,
Homo. They will supply you with tho
uccessary details and Information."
Tho Inspector spolco to tho carablnl
crl, and tho trio mnrched to tho gates.
Loud were the exclamations of dis
may from tho uufortunato Americans,
and only Illllard nud Mcrrlhow show
ed faith in La Slgnorlua aud her prot
estation that eho would straighten
out tho tangle without any additional
misfortune coming to her former as
sociates. In tho opera troupe,
Kitty, O'Mally aud Smith, however,
wero convinced that dirty Italian
prison would bo their ultimate resting
place.

O'Mally assented, stopping n moment
In front of La Slgnorlnn.
"Wo have all been together for mnny
weeks." he said. "Yet who you are
none of us knows."
Tho shadow of a smllo lay upon her
lips and vanished. "My jiarao Is Sonln

found that sleep was practically out of
