a strip of gummed paper with his own

Misgivings were prompting him to
knock again and summon her by name
when he heard footballs on the other
side of the door, followed by a click
of the lock. The door was opened
grudgingly, bare six inches.

eyes that stared into his, he took no
account. His face heightened a little
as he stood there. dumb. painting, star

into gulf Of disappointment, weight

said with rueful smile.

Now, if Kirkwood's emotion was
| poignant, Mrs. Hallam's establishment
paralleled, and her relief transcend
ed it. In order to understand this II
must be remembered that while Mr.
, Kirkwood was aware of the lady's
presence in Antwerp, on her part she
had known nothing of him since he
had so ungallantly fled her company
in Sheerness. She seemed to antici
pate that either Calendar or one of his
fellows would be discovered at the
door, to have surmised it without
any excessive degree of pleasure.
Only briefly she hesitated. while be-
surprise swayed her; then with {
hardening of the eyes and curt little
nod, "I'm sorry" she said with decis
ion, "but am busy and can't see 20,
now, Mr.. Kirkwood";; and attempted
to shut the door in his face.
