can't say any more today on that score.
But want to say this: l am very anx-
ious to get at the bottom of this matter.
Half an hour before you came in l had
determined to hunt you up. You are al

to retain you in the matter additionally
and give you some assistance. 1t won't

"Dine with me at 6. and afterward let

Cali right, I'll do that"
"Meet me at sharp at 'Ders' cafe"
Good Now am off By-by."
After Tom left the room. Holbrook
went to the window and looked out.
The scene before him. however, was
not what interested him. HIS thoughts
had gone back again to that singular in
terview with Flora Ashgrove
"Why shouldn't | tell Tom of that
conversation he asked himself aloud
"He is trustworthy and shrewd. 1t is
not like talking to public official, and
he will respect confidence. Suppose the
girl is implicated What then? No OBJ
legation rests on me to protect her from
her evil deeds. if evil deeds they are? If
they are not, and she is not compromised,
then no harm is done. Yes. I'll tell him,
and tonight.
He laughed.
Il promised myself to keep out of this
affair, and here l am going in full
length So much for the influence of a
pair of soft brown eyes. By George, she
is beautiful girl. Annie Templeton! A
fellow could be very happy in the love of
such a creature
Then he drummed on the window. lost
in pleasant castle building
Suddenly he started with the exclama-
ton:
Dreaming is not work"
He looked at his watch.
''Half-past three; have two hours and
a half before me"
He caught his hat and hurried out.

beginning and something definite to
work upon. How grateful Annie Tenn
pleton would he If we were to he success
full! What pretty sight her face would
present-an incentive for any man to
work"
Thus musing he strobe along at rapid
gait, feeling positive pleasure in the ex-
ercise. BY and by he became conscious
that some one was following him. He
crossed the street TO determine this, the
person he suspected crossed also. He
slackened his pace; tall, slim figure
passed him, and he thought he was
mistaken as he saw it disappear in the
darkness.
So he forged ahead. Shortly he found
the person vas behind him again.
He was now approaching fashionable
drinking saloon, and he determined to
stop there and see what his follower
would do.
He did SO, and met an acquaintance
with whom he went to the bar.
Immediately the door opened and q
tall, slim man entered. 1t was the per-
son who had followed him.
Holbrook observed him closely through
the glass behind the bar, while chatting
with his acquaintance.
The tall, slim man was by no means
young-evidently 60 or 60 years of age;
his hair was white, his face well scanned
with wrinkles. He was clad in respect
able black, and was upright in carriage.
Holbrook thought he might have been
the man Fountain disguised 10 follow
him, and then dismissed the idea as an
absurdity and attributed it TO his heated
imagination.
A glance at the hand the person laid
on the bar, which Holbrook could regard
at short range without turning, such was
his position, confirmed his idea of its alb
of an aged person; there could be no
make up" in that.
Presently the old man dropped piece
of money on the floor. As he stopped 70
pick it up he struck Holbrook In the
back.
Convinced as he was that he had been
touched purposely, from an impulse he
could not restrain he turned.
The old man apologized in most oour-
teous terms His voice was pleasant, but
Holbrook felt that the dark eyes of the
old man most keenly and rapidly scru-
tinized his features.
However, he courteously responded to
his apologies and the old man passed out
into the street.
THAT was done on purpose" said the
acquaintance.
81 thought so too" replied Holbrook.
The barkeeper. who had overheard this
exchange. said:
He asked me who you were, sir"
What did you tell him?"
THAT / didn't know, which was the
truth"
Holbrook went out. The old man
stood in the shadow Of an ad joining door.
HoIbrook leaped into a cab and told
the man to drive to the Hoffman house,
and then watched from the window 70
see If be was followed.
The old man remained where Holbrook
had lass seen him
I've spent a dollar and half for
nothing" be said. The probability is
that he mistook me for some one else,
and discovered his error in the drinking
place" 80 he went On TO his own hotel.
