C out being snub; below it was a short under bp that bespoke the senses and small, firmly rounded chin which struck the silent watcher as altogether delicate and delicious. Above the : cameo-like features. a sleek aureole of ash hued hair caught the moonbeams and entang led them therein. Feasting his eyes on that exquis ite moonlit loveliness, Ian remain ed silent as, for a long moment, the girl remained motionless as any statute. On more careful observa tion he noted that the girl's barely perceptible cheek bones were high er than usual, giving to her face a faintly, foreign cast that was infi nitely intriguing. Fearful of startling this lunar- illumined apparition, Ian remained quite still, studying with a connois seur's appreciation, the fragile beauty of her who, though less than thirty feet away, was undoubtedly quite unconscious of his presence. Suddenly he noticed the glimmer of something on her cheek and with a sharp pang of alarm realized that something was sliding over her cheek like a fugitive drop of quick silver. Another appeared and then another. Ian felt a sense of out rage it was incredible that such a moon-silvered goddess should weep. There was something quite ghastly about the way she stood there weeping silently, and he fought down an absurd impulse to spring up and make an offer to solve her troubles. . With a quick, deft motion like that of "a fish darting just below the surface of the sea, the girl sud denly dropped her small patrician head and two slender and long fin egred hands appeared, clutching an evening bag set with rhinestones. She had just opened its jeweled clasp, when from the depths of the great house sounded a man's voice, calling in low tones: Lolita, Lolita, wo sind sie?" Ian, now wide eyed and thorough ly alert, did not miss the convulsive stiffening of that slender body, nor the way the softly-curving nether lip was tucked into her mouth, even less did he miss the indescribable look of misery which contorted the girl's lovely features. In that ex pression he thought to read both fear and despair. "A moment, please, I will come in directly. It it is so peaceful here." The girl spoke over her bare and rounded shoulder in fluent German, dabbed at her eyes with a frothy lace handerkercnief. In apparently guilty haste her fingers next flew to her compact and in another instant she had skilfully repaired the dam age wrought by those inexplicable tears. As suddenly as the turn of a ma gician's card the blonde vision was gone, and only a black interval in the tjalms was before lan s Dewn dered eyes. Ah! He glimpsed her glittering ball gown once or twice throueh the intersections of the palm fronds, but then she was definitev eone. "Well, may I be crowned! 11 mat doesn't beat the cards! wnai nerfecL exauisite beauty 1 11 have to meet her. Wonder who she is? What did that man call her?" He sat bolt upright with a start that flicked the ash from his cig arette into a watering pot to make a minute hissing sound. "Lolita! It couldnt be." In. a mild mental turmoil he laughed to himself. "How absurd there are many women called Lolita." Still obsessed with purity of that moon- revealed profile, he told himself that the girl who had just left could not possibly be the conscienceless and practiced intriguese who was charged with wrecking the lives of at least three men. "Can't be the same," he decided as he got up, "Just the same, I'd better get in my ground work before the crowd ar rives." So deciding, he grinned a thoroughly boyish grin and ground out his cigarette under his heel be fore starting for the door. "Now what the devil could have gone wrong? ' Bet her canary died or something." To his disappointment he found that quite a number of other guests had put in an appearance and that already the boyishly slender young beauty was attended by three or four eager gallants who made a brave showing in their gay and col orful uniforms, Ian glowered, Of course that conceited young Italian Conte would be among them, his lecherous eye traveling over the girl's white clad body like scurri- . till 11 ill :r ' r A m 311!

Seising by the elbow, Sir John Kelton. British First Secretary, Ian Gray, very ruddy and clean limbed in his perfectly fitting evening clothes, demanding an introduction "Delighted, old chap," replied the ... I1"1 Englishman thus accosted. He smiled wisely. "But it's a waste of time, Ian, my lad the lady fair will never notice yet another eap tive at her chairot wheels. Well, so here goes. Permit me, please, he bowed to the girl who, without a trace of her former sorrow, now stood smiling graciously. She nod ded and treated the advancing pair to an expression so wholly winning that Ian's normally steady heart did a quick double-shuffle. "Ma demoiselle la Contesses, may I have the honor to present an old friend?" Ian, amid a queer confusion, watched the girl's red lips part in a quick and convincing smile. "It is a very great pleasure. Monsieur." "Mr, Gray, the Countess von Waldeck." Had a bayonet been plunged into Ian's back, he could not have been more startled. Nothing but his diplomatic training rescued him from committing a faux-pas of the worst sort, but his head bussed as it had when a shrapnel splinter had dented his helmet that day before Siechepres. Great Scott! Then this was the famous or rather infamous Count ess von Waldeck? It could not be I Not this simple unaffected girl in white. More than a bit of the world had Ian seen in his thirty seven odd years and during those years he had become, by common consent, a singularly apt judge of character. (To be Continued) 36 Percent Drafted Men Have Hi School Education Or More The high type of intelligence among the men being inducted into the armed forces through the selective service, according to Gen eral J. Van Metts, state director revealed by a recent war depart ment analysis, shows that 26 per cent of the trainees inducted into the army since last July have a high school education or. better. Army standards, the director pointed out, require education equivalent to the fourth grade in grammar school. In this connec tion he cited that examinations of trainees at army reception cen ters have shown that 91 per cent of the men recruited by selective ser vice have had a grammar school education or better, and that more than one-third have completed high school or college courses. Statistics compiled at National Selective Service headquarters, and recently announced by Presi dent Roosevelt, show that only 5 per cent selective service regis trants who have been examined tor induction into the army have been disqualified for lack of sufficient education. Even that 5 per cent revealed as lacking the equivalent of a fourth grade grammar school education is a condition not de sired by the American people, it was pointed out.
