sponded Brentwick briefly. His gaze,
weary and wistful behind his glasses,
rested on the face Of the girl on the
threshold of his home. and the faint,
sensitive flush Of her face deepened.
He stopped and honored her with a
bow that, for all his fantastical attire,
would have graced beau Of an earlier
decade "Will you be pleased to en-

Kirkwood fingered with his friend
upon the door stoop. Calendar, re,
covered from his temporary consterna,

over it, fat fingers fumbling with the
latch, his round red face lifted to the

He removed one fine and fragile
hand from pocket of the lowered
dressing gown long enough to jerk 1t
significantly toward the nearer street
corner.
Thunderstruck, Calendar glanced
hastily in the indicated direction. A
blue coated bobby was to be seen ap-
preaching with measured stride, diff
fusing upon the still evening air an
impression of ineffably capable self
contentment
