You interfere with me-"
81 shall not allow any one to insult a
lady in my presence" said the artist, who
felt that he had to offsr some justification
for his conduct to the throng that had
already collected around them.
"This is ridiculousl / spoke to an old
friend of mine" was the final reply vouch-
safed to the girls champion, who allowed
himself to be put aside as the furious doc
tor moved away.
Henshall followed, thinking that he
might again have the opportunity of step
ping between his ideal and one from whom
she was evidently anxious to escape.
He was crossing Irving place when a
carriage drove past. He recognized it i'm
mediately as Edward Hartman's. He
hoped that the occupants would not notice
him, but he was disappointed. he was
walking ahead when he heard a familiar
voice calling his name. He turned and
saw Mr. Hartman reckoning to him. The
carriage lad stopped in front of the acade-
my and the banker and his daughter were
aEghting.
LENA thought she would like to go to

81 want to see a-friend," said Hen
shall.
You can go out between the acts and
sc him Inlay want to see q MAJ myself,
and know that Lena will excuse u.s." said
the banker with facetious wink to the
young man.
The artist came to the conclusion that
the young lady, in whom he felt a much
more lively interest than he did in Lena
Hartman, had probably gone too far for
! him to overtake her, and so he allowed his
! fiancee to persuade him to enter the acad-
envy. II really have some business Oh
hand, though" he remarked, 'and l shall
| be obliged to leave before the end of the
! performance"
! lie had seen Denman Thompson's play
before, and he was Ear too much engr',ssef
! in his own thoughts to take any interest
> in the quiet rustic scene on the stage.
In the meantime DR.. Watson, as the eVi
eyed one chose to style himself for the tim,
being, had gone along Fourteenth street
as quickly as his legs could walk.
When he reached Union square he looked
around in the vain hope that he nigh
catch sight of Miss Crawford She hat
disappeared, and he did not know which
way to turn. People surged around il
every direction, and he knew that if tn
girl had tried to escape she might hav
taken horse car, as long as she ha'
reached the corner ahead of him.
Course the luch,n he muttered; eff
hadn't been for that young idiot on tn,
block above should have had her in SAT-
keeping before now"
He went over to the Morton House cafe
sat down at one of the tables and ordered
glass of absinIne.
~ thought had time to catch her again
before she reached Union square," h
unused. Il wonder if she really walke
that whole block Shecouldn't have take
one of the green cross town ears, as ] di
mot notice any pass there. Let's see, wher
could she have gone? Not to any of tn
places on the south side of the street, that
very sure. She might have entered Steir
way hall. By Jove she must have done it.
This idea impressed him as being yer
good, and he told the waiter to bring hiI
some more absinthe AS he slipped tn
liqueur his mind was actiye.

Louise Neville may be Edna Lewis,
he thought. at is not probable that sh
would appear under her own name or VI
der the alias adopted by her father"
To settle the question to his own satisfa
s ton he walked around to the nearest flori:
and bought a large bouquet. Then upon
| blank card be wrote:

! vate the accomplishments that the publ
e are now given an opportunity to applau,

: He instructed a young man to deliv,
the flowers to Miss Neville off the stag
. and to say that he had been sent by Mr.
= Leonard. Fifteen minutes later the me
e senger returned.
n when handed her the flowers he T.
ported, ''she said she was surprised to he

C and she told me to thank him for her."
