"Come in, James," she said. "You're just in time for breakfast." Jim stared at her in bewilder ment. "You you expected to ace me?" Elsa laughed. "Of course. I even kept your coffee hot. Do sit down." Jim threw up bis hands and sat down. "I give up," he said. "Who told you?" "You did, darling. I suppose I shouldn't have teased you but I wanted to be kidnapped. You see, It's the first romance I've ever had and I want it to last, Jim." She rose end came around the table to Jim. "I .. I don't know what to gay," Jim replied.

There was no mistaking that Elsa was in love with him and he well, he couldn't he sure Just what his own emotions were. One thing was certain though, be was heartily ashamed that he has tricked her. It was too late to do anything about that, however. He must play the hand to the end. The following days on shipboard were idyllic days of sunshine and gayety and nights of moonlight and soft breezes. Jim eoon diagnosed his motions. He was deeply, sincerely In love with Elsa. One night they were sitting in deck chairs, listen ing to the soft strains of music from the ballroom and watching the moonbeams dance stately ga vottes on the water. Elsa sighed fcUssfully.

ZTsa read trie message and then turned to Jim. There was a look of agonized disbelief i her face and her eyes quickly filled witli tears. Jim jumped from his chair and came to her, deeply concerned. "What is it, Elsa?" he asked softly. "Bad news?" Without a word Elsa handed him the message. It was from Madams Delia: "GUTHRIE TAKING TOU TO BUENOS AIRES TO SING STOP IS LARGE INVESTOR OPERA COMPANY THERE STOP ONLY INTERESTED IN MONEY IN VOLVED STOP RUDI AND I FLY ING TO MEET BOAT STOP MY POOR DARLING."

As the boat came into the harbor at Buenos Aires an Argentine of ficial came aboarrl fc-isa. When he found her, waiting to disembark, he bowed and handed her an official-looking paper. "Miss Terry," he said "I am force' U serve you with these papers." Before Elsa could take the papers Jim walked up and snatched them from the hand of the official. "I'U take care of this," he said.
