feased to be Lord Norheya, and the
thought that be might be somebody

to marry Misa Temple
She began to look at Tommy with-I
Interest, at first as a man whom
might be her duty to marry, later on
as a man whom she might be content
to marry even If It were not her duty.
Her view of Miss Temple changed I»
an odd way. It occurred to her as
possible that this London dancer
might be one of those wicked women
who lure young men Into entangio
raents and then bold them to thoir
half-made promises. She came by de
greet to think of Miss Temple as a
nuisance, some one who had no right
to be there at all, certainly no right
to Interfere with Lord Norheya' life.
Tommy could not fgll to observe the
change In Calypso's manner, and tbe
thought that her feelings toward him
