HAT'S tho matter, Jack?
Whenever you smoke
your cigar goes out You
read a newspaper by
staring over the top of It You leavo
your watch under the pillow and have
to hlko back for It You aro absent
minded. Now, what's tho matter?"
Hlllard sighed heavily.
"Thero you go again I" laughed Mer
rlhow. "You tack that sigh to every
thing you say.
nittnrd was human, no might be
deeply In love, but this had not de
stroyed his healthy senso of humor,
so ho laughed at himself.
, "It's a curious business tho dinner,
tho mask, tho vpll, tho mystery," went
on Merrlhow. "I tell you frankly, Jack,
something's wrong, and wo shall both
Uvo to nnd it out"
"But what? Heaven on earth, what?
Haven't I tried to figure It out till my
brain aches? I haven't gono forward
a single Inch."
"What shall you do?"
"Nothing. When wo have seen Flor-
enco we'll drop down to Perugia and
Home, then up to the Italian lakes,
after thnt homo. If you say."
; Hlllard looked at his watch. '
"Only 0," ho said. "Lot's go over to
Gambrlnus" and hear the music."
Tho Hotel Italic was but a few
blocks from tho Piazza Vlttorlo Eman
uolo. They found tho Hollo crowded,
noisy and Interesting. From tho Hallo
they went downstairs and through tho
billiard room. Dndor tho arcade they
found n small table. Presently two of
ficers, ono In the resplendent uniform
of a colonel, went past. Hlllnrd's
pulso was tuned to a quicker stroke
'"I hope ho doesn't see us," ho said,
tipping his panatna over his eyes.
Merrlhow scowled fiercely,
"So long as ho doesn't observe us."
Bald Hlllnrd, "I havo no Interest in his
nlfalrs." Had ho none? ho wondered.
"Ho Is coming this way again, Dan."
Hlllard changed his mind, no push
ed back his hat If tho man with tho
scar saw him and spoke ho would re
ply. The colonel, glancing nt tho pair,
halted. Ho turned and sjxtko to his
brother olllcer. The man with tho
scar stepped over to tho tnblo and
leaned with his hands upon It There
was n snvngo humor In his dnrk eyes.
"Did 1 udt tell you thnt wo should
moot ngalu?" ho said to Hlllnrd.-
"Aro you specking to me?" asked
Hlllnrd. Uvcrr musclo In his body
was alort anil rondy.
"Certainly I nm speaking to you.
This In tho follow." speaking to his I
companion, at tho same time drawing
off his gloves.
"I object to tho word follow." said
Hlllard. "Hosldos, I don't know you."

"I wanted you to give him a good

"We should havo slept In tho lockup
