manned thus, bent above 1t. The
superscription was not hers. The note
was not addressed to Harry, but to
her, and in a handwriting she had
never seen before!
Again the peal of the electric bell.
Shima appeared with a third envel-
ope. This time it was her W note
returned to her. With the feeling she
was bewitched she took up the mys-
terious letter from the floor and open
ed it. She read the strange handwrit-
ing:
May I see you. anywhere. at any time,
tonight? ROBERT KERR.
1t was as If Kerr himself had en-
tered the room, masked and muffled
beyong recognition. and then, face to
face with her, let fall his disguise.
She gazed at the words, at the sigma
ture, thrilled and frightened. She
looked at Harry's note. hesitated;
caught a glimpse Of the two messen-
gers waiting stolidly in the hall.
Waiting for answers! Answers to
such communications! She made a
dash for the table where were pens
and ink and on one sheet scrawled:
Certainly. Bring him." ~appending
her initials; On the other the word
Impossible" and her full lame. Then
she hurried the letters into Shima's
hands, lest her courage should fail
her-lest she should regret her choice.
Anywhere, at any time, tonight"
she repeated softly. Why, the man
must be mad! Yet she permitted her.
self a moment Of imagining what
might have been If her answers had
been reversed.
But no, she dared not meet Kerr's
impetuous attacks yet. First she
must get at Harry. And how was
that to be managed II he insisted on
surrounding himself with "a jolly lit
tie party?"
She found a moment that evening
in which to ask him to walk out to
the Preside with her the next morn

lingame on the early train. He was
woefully sorry. II was ages since he
had had a moment with her alone, but
at least he would see her that even

were going to that dinner-and then

full, unconscious face. And yet, fol.
lowing on the heels of his tendency
to question and coerce her, this reti.
cence was amazing. The next day
would be lost with Harry beyond
reach-12 hours while Kerr was at
the mercy Of chance, and she was al
the mercy Of Kerr.
Yet when his card was brought VI
to her the next morning she looked al
the printed name as wistfully as if II
had been his face. 1t cost an effort
to send down the cold fiction that she
was not at home, and she could moi

ran up the steps of her house again.
In the hall Shima presented her with
a card. She looked at 1t with a quick
ening pulse. "Is he waiting?"
"No, madam. Mr.. Kerr has gone.
He waited half an hour"
Down went her spirits again. Yet
surely after their last interview she
ought not to be eager to meet him
again. "In the morning" she thought,
"and waited half an hour. How he

didn't know whether she liked that or
not. when did he Gomez"
"At II o'clock"
At this she was frightened; he had

delicate oriental distinction. 1t put
the whole thing before her In a mo

when he should have been hiding, had
carried him off. What had he done,
and how had he managed, when Har-

sons for wanting to stay? All, she
knew only too well Kerr's exquisite
knowledge of managing; but why must
he make such a reckless exposure OF
himself? Did he suppose Harry was

A traveller entered a railway car
rage at a wayside station. The sole
occupants Of the compartment con-
sisted of an old lady and her son,
about twelve years old. Nothing OF

Take that back" she said coldly,
"and tell him that / am out; and,
Shima,"-she addressed the mans IN
telligence-"make him understand It."
She watched the note departing.
How she longed to call Shima back
and open it! There was a pause
then Kerr emerged from the drawing
room. AS he crossed the hall he
glanced up at the stair and Is much
as was visible of the landing. He had
not taken Shima's word for 1t, after
all!
The vestibule door closed ~noiseless-
ly after him, the outer door shut with
a heavy sound. Yet before that sound
had ceased to vibrate, she heard 1t
shut again. Was he coming back?
There was a presence In the vestibule
very vaguely seen through the glass
and lace Of the inner door. Her heart
beat with apprehension. The door
opened upon Clara.
Flora precipitately retreated. She
was more disturbed than relieved by
the unexpected appearance. For Clara
must have seen Kerr leave the house.
Three times now within three days he
had been found with her or waiting
for her. She wondered If Clara would
ask her awkward questions. But
Clara, when she entered Flora's dress
ing-room a few moments later with
the shopping-list, instead of a ques-
ton, offered a statement.

"But you weren't 1t home to him.

in her mind that she might manage
