The singer reflected for moment and
then said: 81 do not see what harm it
can do to tell you the truth in any case.
Even if you are the man, nothing that i
say would do any harm now. Who is

eyes ON the young fellow.

real name is Leopard. l know him to

II only asked that to see if you would
have an answer ready" Miss Dudley re-
turned, smiling roguishly again. "Wen,
will tell you the whole thing. After
her last solo Miss Neville was strangely
agitated She came to me trembling
and said: There is a man whom l great

ooh! how good the fire feels" said
Miss Brown, as she rolled over on the
soft Persian rug and presented her left
shoulder to the open CRATE.
She lay with her elbows on the floor,
her chin in her hands and her feet
crossed, purring like some regenerated
cat as she toasted herself bright scar
let.
'Oh! how good it feels" she repeated,
gazing into the glowing Goals through
the iron bars of the CRATE and recrossing
her neatly slippered feet. 'The best fire

nothing else in life but hot coffee, hot
water and hot fire it would still be

"Coffee is the best thing that ever
went down human throat. know of
no sensation to compare with hot bath,
which is a publication, a solace and a
benediction, while CRATE fire, with a

hands and raised them in duplicating
appeal above her burning face.
Just then tine door of her room opened
noiselessly aud Dr.. Watson, in slippers
and lounge coat, entered, and taking
cigarette from his lips stood for a mo-
ment watching her.
Not a sound was made nor syllable
uttered, but Miss Brown felt the pres

A shudder ran through her body, an
excessive quivering agitated her eyelids.
Her eyeballs moved convulsively, and
quickly turning her face as close to the
fire as the brass fender would permit
she said by way of recognition, "It's

gIoved hand ffuttered out toward him
and grasped his own, but it was instant
ly withdrawn, and she hastily entered
the coupe he had engaged.
She gathered her robes close to her,
and left place at her side for Henshall.
Where shall tell the driver to go?'
he said as he leaned toward her.
In mufaed, agitated tones the number
of west up town street was conveyed
to him. He hastily repeated it to the
cabman, and then boldly entered the
coupe and seated himself by her side.
The cabman drove off. Henshalls fair
companion kept her handkerchief to her
face, and seemed to labor under an
agitation that she could with difficulty
repress. He made no attempt to converse
with her He had said as he closed the
door of the coupe:
Dear Miss Neville, you will surely
acquit me of want of respect under the
circumstances. You know my one de-
sire is to be your most trusted guardian
should you need any. Do not try to
speak. My only wish is to see you safely
housed"
The agitated girl underwent some vio-
lent throe of feeling, but did not attempt
to speak. The carriage bowled rapidly
along over the pavements, and soon drew
up at the door of large fiat.
Henshall sprang out and rang the bell.
The janitor opened the door, and then
only did the fair maiden spring lightly
from the coupe and run up the steps into
the hall.
She turned, with her hand upon the
door, removed her veil, and with a
hooking smile called out: Thanks,
awfully! Good nightr
The next instant she had closed the
door in his face and was fitting up stairs
Henshall, with muttered curse, turned,
paid the cahman, then, scowling, took
down the number of the house and strobe
away.
The face he had seen was that of the
young singer at Louise Neville's concert.
They must have changed cloaks," he
muttered to himself. Then, as he walked
on, despite his chagrin, he had to laugh.

in my time"
Miss Brown rose to sitting posture,
Strengthened out her skirts, threw one
corner of the fine rug over her feet and
knees. and lying down again turned her
eyes to the fire and covered her face
with her arm to shut out the demon gaze
that made her soul writhe.
Without needing her silence Watson
blew out some delicate rings of smoke.
II wish you were not so prudish," he
said. II like the lace ruffies of your skirt
better than that rug. They remind me
of the girl married in Chicago"
"That was your third wife, wasn't itT'
she said venomously.
"Well, really, Matte, to tell you the
truth, don't remember her number, but

"Answer me first"
Unable to move muscle under his
grip Miss Brown felt her senses reeling
beneath his hideous gaze and for an M
slant was overpowered.
The doctor gave her arm sudden
twist that brought the girl to her feet
Then fixing his black, beady eyes on her,
and looking steadily at her trembling
lids till she raised her eyes to his face,
he said clearly and decidedly:

ring at the bell.
"Is there public singer living in this
building?' Henshall asked.
Eyes, sir; there's two-Mrs. Bucks
and Miss Dudley"
"Where is the man who was on duty
last night at II o'clock" he inquired.
'He doesn't come on till this even
ing" was the answer.
swell, you can take me to Miss Dud-
ley's," he said impatiently at venture.
The elevator boy took him up to the
third floor and pointed to the door on
the left. THAT is Miss Dudley's," he
said.
Henshall rang the bell. The door was
opened after two or three minutes by a
young woman whom he had never seen.
''Can l see Miss Dudley for a mo-
ment?" he asked.
"What do you want to see her for?''
said the young woman.
at is on matter of private bust
ness" he replied.
The lady's face was not at all encour-
aging as she replied, 81 do not know it. "
"Haye you any objections to telling
me why you and Miss Neville exchanged
dresses last night and why you led me on
such wild goose chaser"
The lady's eyes twinkled little with
merriment as she recalled the incident
Then she replied provokingly:
"Why, l thought the least l could do
after your goodness in supplying me
with coupe to come home in was to al
low you to accompany meas far as the
door. So you didn't mean to come with
me st ALL" she went on ironically.
"How notifying"
miss Dudley, I've no doubt it was
very amusing to hoodwink me as you did.
But you have not told me why you
changed dresses with Miss Neville and
wore her cloak"
"Why, you see, she asked me to-" said
Miss Dudley, opening her eyes and look
ing very innocent.
''And why did she ask you to?" re-
torted Henshall, showing a little irrita-
ton. 81 don't suppose it is common
thing for young women who sing or take
part in the same concert to change
clothes with each other to go home inr
Miss Dudley smiled again. Then, as
if feeling that she had carried the matter
far enough in this line, she said decided
ly and with serious countenance:
II have told you all have to say
about the matter. If you wish to know
more you will have to see Miss Neville
herself, and do not really know her adj
dress. So can be of no service to you,
and must beg you to excuse me now"
"Miss Dudley" said Henshall, soften
ing his tone, ''you would not have acted
as you have unless you were friend to
Miss Neville. Believe me, you would
do her no harm by trusting me, as am
-ahem!-a true friend to the young lady.
II had the pleasure of rescuing her
from man who was annoying her with
his attentions only last evening. feel
sure that it was the wish to escape him
that led her to propose this extraordinary
change of dress. Your being SO nearly
the same height and figure as Miss Neville
made this an easy means of throwing
him off the track. Am l not right
Miss Dudley's eyes had opened rather
wide as he was speaking, and when he
was through she exclaimed:
"Then you are not the man.
Il am not the man, swear to you,
