With his godmother he was entirely at ease. Ever since she had paid his trifling debts when he was a young man, he had awored her. Tremont, always discreet and almost in love with his godmother, kept her in a state of great good humor always, and when she had suggested to him this fittle party he had been delighted. In speaking over the telephone the Mar guise d'Esclignac had said very firmly: “My dear that this aothing.” “Oh, of course, marraine. “We both need a change, and be tween ourselves, Julia has a little mis slon on foot.” Tremont would be delighted help Miss Redmond carry it Whom else should he ask? “By all means, any one you like,” sald his godmother diplomatically.

There is a great deal of poverty In Nice, and Paris is the nearest of all.” “The American girls are very im- aginative,” sald Julia Redmond. “We must have some romances in all we do” “I find the American girls very charming,” sald Tremont. “Do you know many, Monsieur? “Only one,” he sald serenely Miss Redmond changed the subject quickly and cleverly, and before he knew It, Tremont was telling her stories about his own military serv. fee, which had been made in Africa. He talked well and entertained them both, and Julla Redmond listened when he told her of the desert, of ita charm and its desolation, and of its dangers. An hour passed.

Along the horizon was a mist, rosy and translucent, and out of it white Al) glers would shine before many hours. When Tremont, at luncheon a Httle later, looked at his guests, he saw a new Julia.

From a dreamy little villa, who'e walls were streaming with bougain- villea, Miss Redmond looked over Al- glers, over the tumult and hum of it, to the sea. Tremont, by her side, looked at her, From head to foot the girl was in white. On one side the bougainvillea laid its scarlet flow- ers against the stainless linen of her dress, and on her other arm was the Red Cross. The American girl and the man had become the best of friends, She considered him a sincere com- panion and an unconscious confed- erate. He had not yet decided what he thought of her, or how. His prom- {se to remain on the yacht had been broken and he pald his godmother and Miss Redmond constant visits at their villa, which the marquise rented for the season.
