The Roman Emperor hnd made frequent trips to the punch bowl end nOW he was showing the effects of excessive imbibing. I-Ie staggered noticeably and his face was a. little flushed. There were vine leaves in his hair and he wore a flowing toga with s broad purple border such as Nero might have worn when he fid- died‘ to the burning of Home.

There was s psuse in the general dancing while two professional en- tertainers performed a fendango to the accompaniment of guitar and ca: tenets, The imperial tippler adjusted his mask. squared his shoulders and threw out his chest. He hlcctipcd and locked irresolute. Then with the ex- aggerated erectness of one who can't trust his legs to behave, he started toward a row of ‘chairs in the resr. For s. few paces all went well, end then he collided with s. swsggering cabailero with trailing swordvsnd flowing curls.

“Bcush me." said the Emperor. "Why don't you look where you are going?" was the churlish response. A wrethful look out of the elite in the maslgsccompanied the reproach. 'l‘he emperor set down. but his eyes followed the csballcrtfs haughty progress, A little smile played about his lips. -

"Thoughtninsworth wasn't com- ing," he munlbled under his breath. "Anyway, he might have left his bsd temper st home."

Then. through eyes that looked n little grossy. he fell to watching the gay colorful revel. Psui Jones foi- lowcd the fsndsngo, and then a little band of Tyrolcens in bright netive costumes sang several songs. The next number. was e jazzy fox trot. which brought the majority of the gathering out on the floor.

. ‘The emporei-‘s head slumped down toward his chest, but his eyes missed no detail of the scene. It was o scene full of dosh and color, All the cen- turies, with their shifting garb, men- ners and follies, were there, from the shepherds of Arcadia and the lan- guorous princesses of the Nile to the Apaches of Paris and the black shirts of Italy. _ A dusky Cleopatra flirted outrage- ously with a fierce-looking pirate. A furry/ Eskimo paid court to n veiled charmer from the harem. ‘The in- evitable Pierrette was there coquet- ting with a. gorgeous and lggresive sheik. A mendicnnt monk hobnobbed with a. Rufilhll princess of the old regime. And in the background, apart from the general gayety, was a Car- men with roses in her hair.

The emperor gazed at her for a moment, and again a hint of s smile hovered about his lips. Then his eyes narrowed slightly behinddhe holes in his mask, ‘A msid in tinsel armor-Joan of Arc, perhaps-had just approached Carmen in a usual sort of way.

Soon they were chatting pleasantly. The emperor rose, walked rum-steadily to the punch bowl, and refreshed himself again.

"Your imperial majesty has a msg- niflccnt thirst." remarked a flowery court attendant of the time of little 110015. \ The emperor regarded him loftiiy "It was Shake-Shskespeh." he pro- nounced unsteadiiy, “who dishcovered hlwthst a gcnTmsn can drink himself sober. I em following hish cx—cxshellent precept."

l-Ie rocked on his feet, took an- other drink, and moved away. As if to justify the Shakespeare-n precept he carried himself more erect now. He did not return to the chair he had previously occupied, but chose one in closer proximity to Carmen and Joan of Arc. The hubbub was too great to permit him to hear what they were saying, and soon a plumed knight came forward and claimed Joan for the next dance. _

The orchestra, concealed behind a wall of exotic foliage, struck up a waltz. ‘I110 emporcr stood up, * “ appr ‘ " Car- men and bowed.

"Will you do me the honor?" he munnurcd, eoberly enough.

She rose reluctantly. "But you nrc intoxicated," she objected.

"No mutter. You may have ob- served that a man. even when he is too tipsy to walk straight, can usually dance with no difficulty whatever."

It proved true. His wsltsing, as she discovered after a few graceful glides. was perfect. But for her worry and anxiety she . could have surrendered herself wholly to the charm of the dance.

"I don't believe you are drunk," she observed presently, You are only pre- tending."

"Your roses are failing out pf your heir," he observed. "Let us step out here where you csn arrange them."

They edged their way through the churning, laughing, mirth-drunken crowd and stepped out on a. balcony. He handed her s rose he had clluglit es it tell from her hair.

"You were right," he told her. "l wouldn't get drunk tonight, of all nights. A semblance of inebi-iety has its advantages, however, When people see e. man drunk, they are not likely t0 suspect him. What was Joan of

“She wants to get into the movies," said the girl, absently. "She wanted to know if I happened lo have any influence with the directors."

l-Ie smiled. she had spoken with e trace of caution, hostility and nerv- ousness. In the meager light out there on the balcony he studied her face. "Well, Miss Castle," he murmured. "did you bring the money?"

I-Ier slender shoulders shook s. little. "How did you recognize me?" she asked cvssively,

"Oh, that mask you are wearing doesn't conceal much of your face. Besides, I had received uuniidflltlll information that you were to appear as a. Spanish gypsy."

“Mist about the papers?"

"They ere here inside my imperial mam"

“All of them?"

“l-Ielf of them. ‘Ihst was the agree- ment. You don't. think for a moment that I would cheat you?"

"Oh. n01" She tossed her heed a little. "I know you are the soul of honor. May I see them?"

I-Ic laughed derisivcly. "Not so fest. my charming little gypsy. I have hnd some experiences with feminine wiles. You haven't answered by question. Did you bring the money?" "It's here." with a vague gesture she indicated her silver-trimmed bodice.

"Fifty thousand?"

"That was the amount wasn't it?” "lPm-‘rhst isn't s. direct answer. Did y6u or did you not bring fifty thousand dollars?"

"You are at liberty to count it," said the girl, evenly. "as soon as you have satisfied me that there will be no trickery."

"Bplendidl" exclaimed the emperor, in e suddenly uttered voice. "I think you will carry it of! very well, Mia Castle."

She started. "That voice!" She had removed her mask, and was gazing at him out of dilated eyes. "Oh. Mr. Dale!"

"Not so loud, Cannen, some one may hear. Well, our little rehearsal cemc off in fine shape."

Bhe relaxed. All at once the can- tion and hostility faded out of her eyes. "But you said you were to appear es the Picarocn."

“And what did you expect the Pica- roon to look like?"

"I hardly know. I certainly didn't expect to see him in a Roman toga, with a purple border, and with vine leaves in his hair."

"Well, you see, the Picsroon isn't committed to any particular style of apparel, I-Ie dresses according to the occasion and the mood he happens to be in. Tonight-J’

For n moment he paused, iccring st her in the dusk, and then the door slammed and he was gone. ~“'I'he—thc contemptible csdl" she cried breathing hard from the exer- tion and the apparent humiliation. "I never was—"

She stopped. For the frist time she appeared to notice the new arrival.

"Oh, you! she exclaimed, recog- nizing Joan of Ale with her blond curls and her intriguing baby fes- tures. She had vaguely expected some one else. It seemed Dale had staged n useless piece of mummery, but there was nothing to do but Io through with it now.

"Did you see what that despicable ruflisn tried to do?" she cried hotly. "No, I just missed it," said Joan in her cooing voice, "But I can guess. Men are so beastly. Tried to steal a kiss I suppose? The wretm!"

"He was drunk," sold Adele, grow- ing s llttie' calmer. "Disgustingly drunk. Otherwise I might not have minded so much."

"I understand, dearie." By the way of showing her sympathy Joan wound hcr orm around the other girl. “I kiss is rather nice sometimes, especially on a. balcony in the moonlight, but who wants to be kissed by s distil- lery?" v

Adele laughed. "I'm all right now. It's foolish to get angry with a drunken men, but I couldn't help it." “lie seemed to be all right while you were dancing," Joan observed "I was watching you two. But than men are funny. They are all riglit until they get you out in some moon- lit nook, and then-look out! My Billy is that way. We had a dreadful spat the other day, Billy is awfully hot-headed, but I knew how to man- age him."

"I-Iow?" asked Adele, mildly amused by the naive chatter. "Give me\your recipe, and I may try it or the next Emperor who comes along."

“Well, I guess men are aFJikr. whether they are Emperors or juot plain citizens. m the little things that please them most.

- Of a sudden Adele leaned weakly against the balcony railing. l "Blue-yellow," she mumbled.

"Yes, blue and yellow-Billy's favorite colors." ssid Jpan. She laughed lightly. And then, with a
