The man departed. leaving Orde
standing in the gloomy hail. That
young man. however, parted the cur
tains leading into parlor and sat
down in spindle legged chair.
For quite three quarters of an hour
lie waited without hearing any other
indications of life than mutfled sounds.
Occasionally he shifted his position
but cautiously. as though he feared to
awaken some one. Three oil portraits
stared at him with all the reserved
aloofness of their painted eyes. He
began to doubt whether the man had
announced him at all.
Then, breaking the stiffness with al
most startling abruptness, he heard a
clear. high voice saying something at
the top of the stairs outside. A rhyth-

the light pat-pat of girl tripping
downstairs. brought him to his feet

NfDE'S bank account, in spite OF
his laughing assertion to New
mark, contained some $l,1OO.
After brief but comprehensive
tour Of inspection over all the works
then forward he drew hundred of
this and announced to Newmark that
business would take him away for
about two weeks.
AT Redding, whittier he went to
pack his little sole leather trunk, he
told Grandma Orde the same thing.
She came and stood by the man lean
ing over the trunk.
Speak to her, Jack" said she quiet.
ly. She cares for you
Orde looked up in astonishment. but
he did not pretend to deny the implied
accusation as to his destination.
why, MOTHER" he cried, ''she's only
seen me three or four times! It's alb
surd-yet.'
II know" nodded Grandma Orde
wisely; II know. But you mark my
words-she cares for you"
She placed her hand for an instant
on his shoulder and went away. The
Ordes were not a demonstrative people.
The journey to New York was at
that time very long and disagreeable,
but Orde bore it with his accustomed
stoicism. He had visited the metrop-
Oils before. so it was not unfamiliar to
him. He made his way to small ho-
tel just off Broadway.
Orde ate, dressed and set out afoot
in search of Miss Bishops address. He
arrived in front Of the house little
past 8 o'clock and after moments
hesitation mounted the steps and rang
the bell.
The door swung silently back to
frame an impressive manservant dress
ed in livery. To Orde's inquiry he
stated that Miss Bishop had gone out
to the theater. The young man left
his name and message of regret. At
this the footman. with an irony so sub
tie as to be quite lost on Orde, demand
ed card. Orde scrubbed line in
his notebook. tore 1t out. folded it and
left it.
He retired early and arose early, as
had become his habit. At the office
the clerk handed him a note:
My Dear Mr. Orde-I was SO sorry to
miss you that evening because of a stu
ptd play Come around as early as you
can tomorrow morning. I shall expect
you. Sincerely yours.
CARROLL BISHOP.
Orde glanced at the clock. which
pointed tot. He breakfasted and start
ed leisurely in the direction of West
Ninth street. He walked slowly. At
University place he was seized with a
panic and hurried rapidly to his desti-
nation. The door was answered by
the same man who had opened it the
night before. To Orde's inquiry he
