THE TAXI slowed ti> a crawl and
Vm»< 'amo on*' of a ions line. After i
while they drew ill' ami a most gor
geous doorman let them out Green
leaf paid oft the driver with a hill
and they were, in i 'moment, going
up the canvas timid brightly light
ed, and carpeted with a red strip or
which tlte satin shup'-rs of the ladier
twinkled. Then tlu \ were inside ard
mounting tlio broad stairs.
"I'll nv'd yon near the door.” said
flreenleaf nodding toward; the en
trance of tlv ballroom. Already she
could hear the stringed orchestra
pln>lug and the |i<vtd.\ excitement ot
the dance sri/.cd her The ilnnk
tonnt attendant took her wrap, and
a moment lat>u -die was waiting h't
vhnnee 4 t the mirror*, one of twenty
idttteiirir, creatures m marvellous
Uresae •, and arm with men more
marvellous jewels necklaces, dog
collars, and tiaras And wonderful
exhibitions of backs, too. She
thought critically that it she should
ever wear such daring dresses, which
she wouldn’t, she’d at ieast look bet
ter than some of these women. But
that v.as vanity, and when she pow
dered her nose ~nu glimpsed her own
modestly pretty face, she told herself
firmly that though her back might be
sufficiently plump she was certainly
an undistinguished creature.
Mr. Greenleaf had straightened his
tie, she observed, when she found
him, and looked rather distinguished
hirnself in a careiess sort of way
His clothes fitted him better than
the business suits he usually wore
and he looked tall and spare and
alert. She was, officially, rather
proud of him.
“We’ll go down the line and get
H over,” he said.
Rather an awful business she
thought it. The hostess said a con
ventional word nr two and passed
her on. I’m even gladder than they
are, she thought. Only the countess
was lovely beside her undistinguished
husband. She wore a pale greet!
dress and her jewels were green.
With her gold hair and blue eyes she
seemed, to .look to sparkle like an
iceberg. No, she’s like a glass of
champagne, Joel corrected herself,
and that’s how she affects men. For
the countess said something to
Greenleaf that she didn’t, hear but it
gave him an excited look she didn’t
like.
‘Ttn so glad you’ve come,” said
the countess smiling at her not un
kindly. “And I’ve not forgotten my
promise to send you nice young of
ficers. You will see.”
“Thank God, that’s over,” said
Greenleaf when they had god away
from the line.
“I thought you liked it,” Joel said
imiHeionsly.
“Gnly part, of it.” he answered,
looking at iter with a slight lowering
of the eyelid suggestive of a wink.
“And now if you'll favor me with otic'
dance, f'ii leave you free to have a
good time « After dancing with me
you’ll enjoy the others more. Host
esse.s ask me for that purpose.”
It wasn't really unite so bad *s
that, but his dancing was clearly a
calculated art. He goes at It as

thought, very systematic and busi
nesslike. When the datue was over

must be a good dancer.’
Whereupon he went away and re
turned with a young officer in a
wonderful uniform He -was a Czech
or n Pole or something, she guessed,
and wore medals on his tunic. But
his English was as perfect as his
dancing and he said nice things to
which she paid iittle attention be
cause aha w&e enjoying herself too
much
He was the first of many bright
uniforms and she thought how weli
the army teaches them to dance, and
how irreverently Jake would say,
"That’s all they have to do,” which
isn’t so. And once she saw the dark
Captain Duval dancing with the
countess; she admitted reluctantly
that they made a wonderful coupie.
Captain Duval bad promised the
other day to dance with her, but of
course he'd forgotten.
He hadn’t forgotten, and asked for
the second dance after that.
“Captain Duval,” he said.
“Os course, and I am Joel Carter.”
“I could not. forget,” he said.
He danced as wonderfully as he
talked, end his talk wasn’t just po
lite nothings. He asked her about
her home and her family and her
work in a friendly interested way as
though he really liked her. Yet all
the time she had a queer sense that
he was under some great strain, that
he talked from only a part of his
mind. He’s thinking of something
else, she thought. He’s profoundly
worried. Maybe it’s about the war
and the fate of the armies. Maybe
his people are in danger, as his coun
try is. All these people probably
were thinking of something else
deep down, all were deeply concerned.
felt, suddenly, that they shouldn’t
be dancing, any of them, and pre
tending they hadn’t a care in the
world. Yet she was doing just that
herself and her brother was perhaps
at that very moment on a destroyer
plunging ahead in the dark sen,
without lights, into deadly danger.
Captain Duval brought her cham
pagne cup, talked a moment, and
then left her when one of her former
! partners claimed another dsince.
After which there was supper and
J more dancing 'inti! her wrist-watch
I told her it was after two o’clock, and
I still she had seen nothing of Green-I
; j leaf, though she'd looked often at the
! doorway. •
, Yet the next time she looked, he |
■ j was there, caught her e> e and
I nodded. Whereupon she made some
excuse to her partner, and a mo-

her down , the hall to a mom which
die judged to be one of Hie work
rooms of the Embassy, a reception
room, perhaps, for official visitors,
for there was another loom opening
off it which contained desks. Gieen
ieaf closed that door also the one
into the hail,
“Tired?” he asked
- 'N o.”
“Have a good time '’
“Lovely,”
He lighted a cigarette and ier.nefi
back,
“I didn't see you,” she said.
“No. I was away on business. It'*
about that—”
He stopped frowning.
“I don’t iike you to be in on this,”
he said. “It will not he pleasant.
But I want you to watch what goes
on. A man is going to be questioned.
I want yon to watch him and try to
read his thoughts and emotions if
he tries to hide them, as he will. And
I’d like, too, if you can, to give me
your impression of the ambassador,
our host tonight. He will be pres
ent. 1 have to do some talking and
won’t be able to watch these men
as I’d like to. See?”
She said she saw and was aware
of an unpleasant excitement, a rapid
ly beating heart. Beneath all the
artificial gaiety of the dance there
had been this ominous something
that she had sensed below Captain
Duval’s polite attentions. Now this
something was coming out of its hid
ing and it would be dreadful. There
was in Greenleaf a kind of grimness
she had never seen before, and it
was all the worse in that he tried
ineffectually to hide it from her.
Usually he was so successful in hid
ing his true thoughts and feelings
from her that she felt panicky now
that he could not. He was impatient,
too. Every moment or so he glanced
at his watch, and lie threw away
each cigarette half smoked only ‘o
light another. It was ten minutes
only that they waited, for she. ton,
looked at her wrist-watch but it
seemed much longer before the door
opened and several men entered.'
One, she saw with surprise, was
the Secretary ol' War whom she had
J seen before and had talked to over
J the phone. The others were the
Scandinavian ambassador. Count
Thorlttnd. and a small, dark, grave
looking man whom Greenleaf intro
duced as the French ambassador.
