WEEK passed -an interesting
week in which few things hap
pened openly, but in which
the entire situation underwent
a subtle but 'complete change. The
mail 'steamer brought disconcerting
news' from London. Chase was obliged
to tell - the islanders that notice of
a contest had been filed. The lineal
heirs bad pooled their issues and were
now fighting side by side. The mat-
ter would be in chancery for months,
even years. He could almost feel the
gust of rage and disappointment that
swept over the island, although not
,a word' came from the lips of the sul-
len population. The very silence was
forebodirg.
He _dait ref; visit the chateau during
that kr „sang week. It was hard,
but hey, .solutely kept to the 'path of
duty, disdaining the pleasures that
beckoned to him. Every day he saw
and talked with Britt and Saunders.
They, as well as the brisk Miss Pel-
ham, gave him the "family news"
from the chateau. It did not require
extraordinary ins keenness t;eenness on Chase's
part to gather that her ladyship and
.Browne had soddenly decided to en-
gage in what he would call, a mild
flirtation, but what Saunders looked
upon as a real attack of love.
"If I had the nerve I'd call Browne
good and bard," said l3ritt over his
julep. It isn't right. It isn't decent.

exclamation of surprise.
Several hundred yards away, out-
lined, against the blue sky beyond the
knob, stood the motionless figure of a
horse and its rider -a woman •, in a
green hebit. Obese turned -his horse's,
head and rode rapidly toveard'her. She'
had left the road to ride out upon the'
crest of the green knob. •Chase was
in the mood to curse her temerity. •
As he carie up over the slope she
turned in the saddle to watch his ap-
proach. He had time to see that two
'grooms from the stables were in the
'road below her. She smiled as he drew
up beside her, not noticing his uncon-
scious frown.
"So those are the fabulous mines of
Japat?" she said gayly, Without other
greeting. "Where is the red glee*
from the rubies?"
"Who gave you permission to ride so
far from the chateau?" he demanded,
almost harshly. She looked at him in
amazement:
"Am I a•trespasser?'"ishe asked coldly.
"I beg your pardon," he Said quickly.

She was laughing comfortably, a mis-
chievous gleam in her dark eyes. His
laugh was as awkward as hers was
charming. •
"You do like to be flattered," he ex-
claimed at random. "And I shall take.
it upon myself to add to today's meas-
ure." He again drew forth his pocket-
book. She looked on curiously. "Per-
mit me to restore the lace handker-
chief which you dropped some time
ago. I've been keeping it for myself,
but" -

thoughts going at once to that ridicu-
lous incident of the balcony. "It must

the balcony,"' be protested coolly. "It
antedates that adventure." -
"Baicony? I. don't understand you,"
she contested.
"Then you are exceedingly obtuse."
"I never dreamed that you could
see," she confessed pathetically.
"It was extremely nice in you and
very 'presumptuous in me. But, your
highness, this is the handkerchief you
dropped in the castle garden six
months ago. Do you recognize the
perfume?"
"You are very sentimental," she said
at last. "Would you care to keep it?
It is of no value to me."
"Thanks! I will keep it."
"I've changed my mind," she said
Inconsequently, stuffing the fabric in
her gauntlet. "You have something

them in the hanging garden.
Deppingham was surly and
preoccupied. Drusiila Brownie
was unusually vivacious. At best she
was not volatile; her greatest accom-
plishment lay in the ability to appre-
ciate what others had to say.
Her husband, aside from a natural
anxiety, was the same blithe optimist
as ever, He showed no sign of re-
straint, no evidence of compunction.
Chase found himself secretly speculat-
ing on the state of affairs. Were the
two "heirs working out a preconceived
plan, or were they, after all, playing
with the fires of spring?
Immediately after tiffin Genevra'car•
ried Lady Deppingham off to her room.
When they came forth for a proposed

the princess had about her the air of

a little more affable. He never noticed
us until you came. No wife to snoop
after him and -why, my dear, he would
have been ideal."
"It's all very nice, Agnes, but you
forget your husband," said Genevra,
with a tolerant smile.
"Genevra," said Lady Agnes solemn-
ly, "if you'd been on a barren island
for five months as I have with noth-
Ing to look at but your husband and
the sunsets you would not be so hard
DU me. I wouldn't take Drusilla's hus-
band away from her for the world. I
wouldn't even look at him if be were
not on the barren island too. I've read
novels in which a man and- woman
have been wrecked on a desert island
and lived there for months, even years,
In an atmosphere of righteousness.
My dear, those novelists are ninnies.
Nobody could be so good as all that
without getting wings. I'm tired of
men and angels. That's why I want
foe for awhile. You've got no wings,
Genevra, iiut`ft's of no consequence,
as you have no one to fly away from."
"Or to, you might add," laughed Ge
nevra.
"That's very American. You've been
talking to Miss Pelham. She's always
addiee ''.rings. By the way, Mr. Chase
sees quite a lot of her. She types for
him. I fancy she's trying to choose
between him and Mr, Saunders. If
you were she, dear, which would you
choose?"
"Mr. Saunders," said Genevra
promptly. "But if I were myself I'd
choose Mr. Chase."
"Speaking of angels, he must have
wings a yard long. He has been chosen
by an entire harem, and he flies from
them as if pursued by the deviL I
imagine, however, that he'd be rather
dangerous if his wings were to get out
of order unexpectedly. But he's nice,
isn't he?"
The princess nodded her head toler-
antly.
Her ladyship went on: "I don't want
to walk, after all. Let us sit here in
the corridor and count the prisms in
the chandeliers. It's such fun. I've
done it often. Mr. Britt has advanced
