"Don't forget to deliver those for

her au.t called after her.
"Oh, no, but yoa haven't told m
where he ives,n said Lutte, drawin
rein and waiting for the information.
~ declare, / don't know where b
does live; but you can inquire at th
market where you are to deliver th
rest. It's somewhere inthe north par
tor INC CITY, rot . great way nom IN
market, and they'll be likely to know
him therc.n
Z" l think can find it, replied Lutte
and drove off at a brisk pace.
In due time she arrived in the cit,
and drew up before the market.
Explaining the cause Of her coming
she delivered the articles intended 70
the said market, and then inquired 70
the residence of Colonel Ormsby.
II cannot tell you, MISS" reptile.
the proprietor; "but if you'll step int
that little restaurant on the corne
there, think you will obtain the de
sired information. / believe they've
got young woman in their employ
who was once q servant in C0lQne
Ormsby's family
Lutte hesitated should she allow
herself to enter q third class saloon
where she would be likely to come in
contact with low fellows who make
such places their resort for drinking,
gambling and smoking In q moment
she decided that she would be recog.
nized by no one, and as she had un-
dertaken to perform this mission she
must go on and carry out the entire
programme.
Lightly she tripped across the street,
entered the saloon, and Of the slovenly
looking girl behind the counter she
made her inquiry.
~ don't know myself, Miss, but if
you'll wait here few minutes I'll go
into the kitchen and ask one of the
girls that used to work there.n
Again Lutte hesitated. She disliked
the idea Of remaining here even for a
few minutes. What if some of her
acqu aintances should chance to pass,
and, looking in, recognize her theref
.s;ns aa.e Aes;tated, the girl said
"If you don't like to wait here. Won
can step into the sitting -room.n
Lutte confessed that she would
rather step into the sitting-room, for
it Leon Lancaster should pass the
door and see her there he would be
sure to recognize her, she thought, as
she believed that his loving eyes could
never be deceived
The girl th1osDpen the door of the
sitting room and Lutte entered, but
started back, turned pale anc almost
for there, seated at a table,
with a bottle of some kind of liquor
before him, and q half-emptied glass
u his hand, she beheld Leon Lancas-
ter. her affianced husband.
"Ho! ho! my pretty one, he said,
rising and coming toward her with q
drunken leer upon his face, which
made him, appear actually loathsome
and repulsive. j" What do you fear,
that you look SO alarmedl I 1 will not
harm you; come here and give me .
