They spoke no more of Ryanne. It

misery of suspense long enough." Sho
lowered her head to tho rail.
Ho came quite near to her. His
arms went out toward her, only to
drop down. Ho must wait. It was
very hard. But nothing prevented his
putting forth a hand to press hers re
assuringly, and saying: "Don't do
that, Fortune. It makes my heart
ncho to seo a woman cry."
"I nm not crying," enmo In mufTicd
tones "I am only sad, and tired,
Hred."
"Everything will como out all right
In tho end," ho encouraged. "Of course
you are tired. What woman wouldn't

till tho buglo blows for din

They lay back In tho chnlrs, nnd no
longer cared to talk. Tho lights twin
kled, but fainter nnd fainter, till nt
lnnt only tho palo lino between tho
sky and the sea remained. She
turned her head and looked sharply nt
hint. He wns sound asleep. "Poor
boy I" she murmured softly. "How
enre-worn!" Theio was something
grotesque In tho mask of desert tan
und shaven skin. How patient he hnd
been through It all, and how kind and
gentle to her! She remembered now
of soelng him that night In Cairo, and
of remarking how young nnd fresh ho
seemed in comparison to the men Bho
knew nnd had met. And she must
leave him, to go Into tho world and
fight her own battles. If God had but
given to her a brother like this! Hut
And all this happened in tho year brother ho never could bo, no, not
1900-1910! If any ono but you, Mr,
Jones, had told me this, I'd hnvo sent
Mm ashoro 33 a lunatic. You hnvo

"What good would it do? Wo are
out of it, and that's enough. More,
wo do not want any ono to know whnt

"You leavo It to mo," said tho big
hearted German. "From here to Na

"No; only what I hnd of necessity to

"Well, you know best. I shall do
my share to make her feel at home.

To this George agreed, but not ver

her Immediate curiosity was not to ho
denied. Sho slipped tho catch and
looked' Inside, Thero wore combs and
brushes, soap nnd tooth-powder and
talc, a raanlcuro-eet, a pair of soft
woolen slippers, and , . . Sho
glanced up quickly. The faintest roco
stole under her cheeks. It was droll;
It was pathetically funny. Sho would
have given worlds to hnvo seen hlra
making tho purchases.
"You oxo not offended?" he stam
mered. "Why should I bo? I am human; 1
have slept and lived for days In a
dross, and worn my hair down my
backfor lack of hairpins and combs.
I am sure that It Is a very nlco night

laughed, too; not because tho situa
tion appealed to him as laughable,
but because thero was something, an
tndotlnablo something, In thnt laugh
ter of hers that made Mm wonderfully
happy,
"Mr, Jones ..."
"Gfiorg," ho Intorruptcd dctc-r
Mlnedly.
"Brother George, It was very kind

Mi s. Chedsoye had taken everything.
'I hoy woio leaning ngulnst tho star
board rail, watching tho slowly con
veiglns lights of tho harbor. Fortune
had borrowed n clonk from her stew
ardess and Georgo wore tho murtl of
tho llrst-olllcur. The cnptnln had of
Teied his, but Georgo had declined.
He would Imvo been lost in its ample
folds.
"I enn not understand why they
made no effort to find you," ho mused.
"It doesn't seem quite Iiuinnn."
"Don't you understand? It is sim
ple. My mother believes that Horuco
and I ran away together. If not that,
I ran away myself, db I that day
threatened to do. In cltlior case, sho
saw nothing could be dono In trying to

Sho did not want pity. ... To
think of his getting those things; for
her In Damascus! . . , Pity sug
gested that sho was weak and help
less, whereas sho know that she wns
both patient nnd strong. . . , What
did bho want? Sho glanced up and
down tho dock. It was totally deport
ed save for them. Then, "clad in tho
beauty of a thousand stars," she
leaned over nnd down and brushed his
hand with her lips.
And Georgo slept on. Only tho blare
of tho buglo brought him back to mun
dane affairs. Ho was hungry, nnd he
announced tho fact with gusto. They
would dine woll that night. Tho cnp
tnln placed Fortuno nt his right and
George at Ills left, and broached o hot
tlo of lino old Johnnnlsborger. And
the tlireo cf them had coffee In tho
smoking-room. If tho other passen
gers had any curiosity, they did not
manifest 11 openly.
Upon finding that they hnd no real
need of staying over in Naples, tho
captain urged that they tako tho re
turn oyngo with him. He saw more
than cither of tho young people, with
those blue Teutonic eyen of his.
George promised to let him know with
in a dozen hours of tho nailing. Cer
tainly Kortuno would decide ono way
or tho other within that time,
Iloth had seen tho Vesuvlnn bay
many times, with nover-fnlllng lovo
nnd Interest. They sailed across the
hny in tho bright clearness of tho
morning
"You aro going back with me,"
George announced In n tone which in
ferred that nothing more was to bo
said upon the subject. Rut, for all
Ills confidence, thero was n groat and
heavy fear upon his hnrt as ho asked
for mail at tho llttlo lnclosuro nt
Cook's, in tho Galletia Vlttbrla. There
was a cable; nothing more.
"Now, Fortune ..."
"Hnvo I over clvcn you permission
to mil mo by thnt name?"
"Why ..."
"Have I?"
"No."
"Then I give you that permission
now."
"Whftt do you frighten a man like
that for?" ho cried. "Whnt I was go
ing to ray ..."
"Fortune."
"What I was going to say, Fortune,
was this: llvi la tho cablo from Mor
timer. I'm not going to open it till
after dinner tonight. Wo'll go up to
the Uvrtollnl to dine, You'll stny
there for the night, whllo I put up nt
the llrlstol, which Is only a little ways
up tho Corso. I'm not going to nsk
you n question till coffeo. Then we'll
thranh outrun subject till there Isn't
a grain left."
Sho made no protest. Secretly sho
wns pleased to he bullied like this. It
proved that among nil these swarming
peoples thero was ono Interested In'
Iter welfare. Rut Bho knew In her
heart what sho wns going to say when
tho piopcr tlmo came. Sho did not
wish to spoil his dinner. Sho was also
going to put her courngo to Its su
premo test; borrow a hundred pounds,
and bravely promlso to pay him back.
If she fnlled to pay It, It would be be
causu sho was dead. For sho could
not survive a comparison between
herself nnd her mother. Horo In
Naples she might find something, an
opportunity. Sho spoko French, and
Italian fluently; and lu tills crowded
Kcason of tho year It would not bo dif
ficult to llnd a situation ns a maid or
companion. So long as sho could earn
a llttlo honestly, sho wns not nfrald.
Sho was desperately resolved.
Such a dinner! Long would she re
member It; and longer still, how little
cither of them nto of it I Sho kuow
enough about these things to appreci
ate It. it must havo cost n protty
penny. Sho smiled, sho laughed, sho
jested; and always a battlu to dam tho
uprising tears.
Tho dining-room wob filled; women
In beautiful evening gowns and men
in BObor black. Rut tho two young
proplo wero oblivious. Their fellow-
glanco in their direction. Ill-fitting
clothes, to bo suro, but It was ob
served that they ate to tho manner
born. Tho girl was beautiful In a
melancholy wny, nnd tho young man
was well-bred nnd pleasant of feature,
though oddly burned.
Coffee. Georgo produced tho cable.
It was still scaled.
"You rend it first," he said, passing
it across tho table.
Her hands shook as she ripped tho
sealed flap and opened tho message.
Sho read. Her eyes gathered danger
ously. "He careful!" he warned. "You'vo
been bravo so long; be bravo a llttlo
longer."
"I did not know that thore lived
such good and kindly men. Oh, thank
him, thank him a thousand times for
me. Read It." And she no longer
cared If any saw her tears.
"Rrlng her home, nnd God bless you
both, MORTIMER."
"I knew It!" he cried exultantly.
"Ho nnd my father wero tho finest two
men In the world. The sky Is all clear
now."
"Is it?" sadly "Oh, I do not wish to
pain you, but it is charity; and I am
too proud."
"You refuse?" He could not believe
It.
"Yes. Dut when things grow dark,
and the day turns bitter, iBhall always
remember those words. I can seo no
other way. I must fight It out alone."
Lovo makes a man dumb or elo
quent; and as George saw all his
treasured dreams fading swiftly, elo
quence became his buckler In this bat
tle of love unspoken and pride in arms.
Each time ho paused for breath, she
shook her head slowly.
Tho diners wero leaving In twos and
fours, and presently they were all
alone. Servants were clenrlng up tho
tnbles; thero wns a clatter of dishes
and a trend of hurrjing feet. They
noted it not.
"Woll, ono moro pica!" And he
swept asldo his self-imposed restric
tions. "Will you come for my sake?
Hccauso I am lonely nnd want you?
Wll yu come for my sako?"
This tlmo her head did not movo.
"Is it pity?" sho whispered.
"Pity!" His hands gripped the
llnon nnd tho coffee-cups rallied. "No!
It Is not pity. IJccnu&o you were lone
ly, because you hnd no one to turn to,
I could not In honor tell you, llut now
I do. Fortuno, will you como for ray
sake, because 1 love you and want you
always and always?"
"I shall come."
CHAPTER XX.
how, all earth's puzzles had that night
been solved.
George lighted n cigar, doubtless
tho most costly weed to bo found in
nil Naples that night. Tho Intermit
tent glowing of tho end faintly out
lined his face. Far away across the
shimmering bay roso Capri in a kind
of magic, amothystlno transparency.
A light or two twinkled where Sorren
to lay. His gaze roved tho half-circle,
and flnnlly rested upon tho grim dark
nsh-heap, Vesuvius, fleauty, beauty
everywhere; beauty In tho sky, beauty
upon earth, In his heart and mind. He
was twonty-elght. and all these won
derful things had happened In a little
moro (than so many day3!
"God's In his heaven,
All's right with tho world!"
Ho flung tho hnlf-flnlshed cigar Into
tho air, careless as to whero It fell,
or that In falling It might set Naples
on flro. It struck a roof somewhere
below; a splutter of sparks, and all
was dnrk again.
"I shall come." All through his
dreamB that night he heard It. "I
shall come."
Next morning ho notified the cap
tain to retnln their cabins. After that
they proceeded to storm tho shops.
They wore llko March hares; Irrespon
sible children, both of them. What
did propriety matter? What meaning
had circumspection? They two were
all alono; the rest of the world didn't
count. It never hnd counted to either
of them Certainly they should hnvo
gono to a parsonngo; Mrs. Grundy
would prudently have suggested It.
Tho trivialities of convention, how
ever, had no place nt that moment In
their little Eden. They were a law un
to themselves
Into twenty shops they went; mo
diste after modiste was mtervlowed;
and Fortuno nt length found two mod
els. Those wero pretty, and, being
models, quite Inexpensive, Once,
George was forced to remain outside
in the carriage. It was in front of the
lingerie shop. Ho put away each re
ceipt, Just llko n husband upon his
honeymoon. Later, receipts would
mean as much, but from n different
anglo of vision. He bought so many
violots thnt tho carriage lookod as
though It were ready for tho flower
carnival. ' Ho laughingly disregarded
her protests. It was tho Song of
Songs.
"My shopping. Is done," she said at
last, dropping the bundles upon the
carrlago floor. "Now, it is your turn."
"You have forgotten a warm steamer-cloak,"
ho reminded her.
"So I have!"
This oversight was easily remedied;
nnd then Georgo sought the tailor
shops for ready-made clothes. Ho had
moro d"Hculty than Fortune; ready
made suite wero not tho easiest things
to find In NapleB. Ry noon, however.
membered something. I've got all I
need or wnnt In my steamer-trunk;
and till this minute I never once
thought of It,"
Uow they laughed! Indeed, so high
wero their spirits that they would
have laughod at any Inconsequent
thing. They lunched nt tho Gam
brinus, nnd George mysteriously
bought up all tho pennies from the
hunchback tobacco vendor. Later, ns
they bowled along tho sen-front.
George created n small riot by fling
ing pennies to small boys and whining
beggars. At five they went nboard tho
ship, which wns to leave at sundown,
some hours ahead of scheduled time.
The captain himself welcomed them
as they climbed the swaying ladder.
There were a hundred first-class pas
sengers for the final voyage. The two,
however, still sat at the right nnd left
of the captain; but tho table was
filled, and they maintained a guarded
prattle. Every ono at once assumed
that they were a bridal couple, and
watched them with tolerant amuse
ment. Tho captain had considerate
ly left their names off tho passenger
list as published for the benefit of
the passengers and tho saloon-sitting.
So they moved In a sort of mystery
which rough weather prevented being
solved.
Ono night, when tho sea lay calm
and the air was caressingly mild,
Georgo and Fortuno had gono forward
and wero leaning over the starboard
rail where It meets and Joins tho for
ward beam-rail. They were watching
for tho occasional flicker of phosphor
escence. Their shoulders touched, nnd
George's hand lay protectlngly over
hers.
