He teases for a kiss, then refers to something that happened the night before. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXII. DOSIES voice went on. "Tls the shirt you wheedled me to launder, sir?" she said. "Well I knew what in your mind you would be asking! Sure. I took out the stains with the liquid I told you of all but one I must v?ork over a bit more and when 'tis dry there will be no sign of them to spoil the white front of it. The cuff too I bad to work over that harder. 'Tis drying upstairs at my window where no one will see it and before 1 iron it out the best I can I'll mend the small tear. That can not be hidden altogether but 'twill be the best mend I can make and saints can do no more." "That's the girl. Rosie!" From the evident relief In the man's voire Linda knew Rosio had Indeed spoken what was In his mind. "Do that for me and my gratitude'Il be eternal. Tis an angel In disguise you ore and you've saved me from worse trouble than you know of." "Ah. that's as may be " Rosle's voire was non-commltal and Linda realized she was moving away, back toward the kitchen. That meant the talk was over and also that Shaughnesscy might come around the end of the house. Stepping back quickly and silently along the grass. Linda soon reached the flagged terrace. Deciding to give Rcsie a moment to recover herself, she ran upstairs rather noisily, hurried about in her own room, and then came down by the service stairs which took her directly to the kitchen. ..J3h.e -did. not allow herself to think of what she had heard. She had a gift, often of-ten used to advantage, of being able to repeat almost word for word a conversation which had interested her. She knew this one was stored in some back corner of her mind and that she could repeat it to Tom just as It had been registered there. . THE Interview with her maids was brief but satisfactory. Linda was fortunate in her assistants, but they were also fortunate in her. Taking it for granted that they were first and second mates, she .treated them with easy-going friendliness that did not conceal her very clear and adequate grasp of their jobs as well. as of her own. Now they were eager to show their desire to help her. though Rosle seemed a little subdued. A quick glance from the bow window of the kitchen showed Shaughnessey nowhere no-where in sight. Either he had gone back to the garage or forward to the front lawn. Feeling extremely extreme-ly competent and unrattled, Linda gave her directions for the rest of the day. Tea on the lawn time be tween that and dinner for the girls to rest and change the arrival at 6:30 of a certain Mrs. Pritchard. supplementary kitchen aide when guests increased the family. The three put their heads to gether like generals meeting an emergency call for troops. Chickens, Chick-ens, fruit, vegetables. Annie could phone. "I should like to have clams tonight," to-night," said Linda reflectively. "Rosie, call up Mra Pritchard and ask her to bring what Annie'll need." Rosie tossed her Irish head and flashed a look of scorn at the suggestion. sug-gestion. "I know what you mean!" Linda pondered. Mrs. Pritchard wasn't distinguished for her clear-headed ness In executing orders, still less those given by telephone. "But Flannery won't deliver so late." "Lave thot to Rosie 'n' me," commanded Annie. The two had exchanged glances and Linda knew the matter had been taken out of her hands. Going back to her chair on the lawn, Linda was glad for several reasons that she had made that visit which had restored her to a sense of orderly housewifeliness. Then, too, it had brought her face to face with Rosie whose faithful loyalty she would have thought she could never doubt but had found it astonishingly easy to doubt when everything seemed already topsyturvy. topsy-turvy. She still was anxious about Rosie, not knowing what kindness she had shown this palavering countryman of hers. But to suspect her of any knowledgable part in ihe. crime one look into those honest hon-est eyes dismissed that idea at once. The uneasy feeling lingered, however. how-ever. In what was poor Rosie in volved? I "Miss Stoner is the daughter, I She caught herself up sharply, understand, of one of your great She was doing what she meant not to trying to get at what that talk suggested before she subjected it, just as she had heard it, to Turn's always sensible reactions. She firmly dismissed the subject from her mind and as she did so looked up to see coming toward her, across the lawn, the graceful figure, of the guest from Belgium. PIIANCE had selected DeVos for her next victim., but Linda could have wished for a more tran quil frame of mind in which to meet the opportunity. It would have to be a smooth and subtle Delilah to pierce the guard of this man's self-possession. self-possession. He was good-looking ... he was charming . . . and he had a way withhjm. Flirtatious? Not exactly. ex-actly. Hypnotic? That was a silly word and a silly idea. Compelling? Yes, perhaps, but that implied stagey "he-man stuff." Fascinat ing? Yes in the sense that something some-thing smooth, fluent, perfect is fascinating. fas-cinating. For some moments 'there wa no design to their conversation and as DeVos lounged there on a low, chintz-covered chair, Linda felt that it would be hard, in spite of his apparent deference to her wishes, to guide this man's mind into any channel which he did not wish to explore. Suddenly he sat up with an exclamation ex-clamation of keen pleasure and she turned toward the water to see what had attracted his attention. Running close inshore, past their tiny dock, whizzed a long, racing speedboat, beautiful in its clean lines and flashing speed, cutting a flare of white water on each side of its pointed, skimming bow. Evidently Evident-ly there was purpose in this sudden, dramatic dash into their immediate waters, for as it passed, a white arm semaphored violently toward the lawn and both Linda and DeVos waved in answering greeting. "That's the Comet the Stoner boat." Linda vouchsafed as the apparition ap-parition quickly dwindled. "That was Fleur, of course born Florrie but she changed it to be the same aa Galsworthy's heroine. She does her best to live up to the model in other ways, too," she added. ("I felt horribly catty," she admitted to Tom afterwards, "but I meant to be provocative and I was.") "C'OR a moment, however, there was no reply to what she had said. Her ears told her she had spoken in just the right offhand way, letting the words carry their own malice. Then, a cigaret lighter having been deftly manipulated, DeVos spoke with an air of deliberate delib-erate speculation.' capitalists?" "If you call him that. He's made millions in patent medicines." "Ah! It is not usual to Inquire too closely into the source of a fortune for-tune after half a dozen zeros have been added to the leading figure." Though she was sufficiently sensitive sensi-tive to catch the rather insolent evaluation in the man's tone, Linda could not help her quick laughter. "I have just passed a very pleasant pleas-ant hour driving with Miss Fleur in her most " he gestured expressively expressive-ly "shall we say, astonishing, car?" Again Linda could not help smiling. smil-ing. Fleur's perfectly outrageous imported sport car was known through the island both for its startling appearance and for its owner's equally bizarre fashion of driving. Fleur, delighted at the chance to show it off to any such unusual visitor, would have been quite confident of his unqualified admiration on both counts. "Unfortunately," the Belgian went on reflectively, "Mademoiselle bad a date 1 believe .that is the proper term? for this speedboat trial with a local expert and we returned re-turned without exploring your lovely love-ly island further." "So being dismissed by the lady fair, you came back to me." Quite affably, he agreed. It certainly cer-tainly was difficult to pique this suave foreigner however easy he might be to insult. Linda consid ered this as though her mind passed a picture of Miat terrible scene on the Country Club porch -Cousin Amos' blandly innocent face and the gray, tense fury of the man now stretched indolently on the lawn. "I should have liked an hour or so on the water." lie went on. tin conscious of her thought, "but there was not room for supercargo. 1 think Miss Stoner called it.

He nodded toward the trim cabin cruiser, dancing decorously decor-ously at her mooring beyond the downward dip of the terrace. "That is yours, I think Mr. Averill rmM?" "The Pinafore?
