lized him. Blindfolded, he had played
in a game at which the others saw 1t
seemed unfair-as II he had some
right to know the meaning of all these
mysterious Incidents. Why had Po-
ritol wanted the bill SO badly? Why
had the desire to possess it driven the
two Japanese to such extreme e
ures?
Orme crossed the court and entered
the lobby. The clerk looked at him
~curiously.
"Mr. Orme," he said, there is a
young lady in the reception room,
waiting to see you"
"Me?" Orme looked his surprise.
Eyes, sir. She gave NO name"
"Has she been waiting long?"
Nearly an hour"
Without further questioning, Orme
turned to the door Of the little green
and-gold room. At the threshold he
paused in bewilderment. Arising to
meet him, smiling frankly, was the
girl of the car.

terror court. On the farther side Of
the court were the doors of the hotel
lobby. AS a rule, carriages drove
through the tunnel into the court. but
Orme had not waited for this for
mality.
He started through the tunnel.
There was no one In sight He noted
the elaborate t~erra-cotta decorations
of the walls, and marveled at the bad
taste which had lost sight Of this OPP
portunity for artistic simplicity. But
through the opening before him he
could see the fountain playing In the
center of the court. The central fig
ure of the group, a naiad, beckoned
with a hand from which the water fell
in a shower. The effect was not so
~unpleasing. If one wished to be
rocco, why not be altogether 80? Like
the South Americans? Was their
elaborate ornamentation plastered on
to an inner steel construction? Orme
wondered.
Midway Of the tunnel, and at the
right as one entered, was a door lead
ing into the porter's office. This door
vas shut, but as Orme approached 1t,
1t n~oiselessly opened out. He ex-
pected to see a porter appear, and
when no person stepped over the sill,
he inferred that the door had been
blown open by an interior draft.
Just as he al turning out to go
around the door-whicn shut off all
view of him from the inner court-a
figure shot through the opening.
Before Orme could dodge, he was
seized firmly by the shoulders and
jerked into the room, with a force
that sent him staggering. He tripped
over a chair and went to the floor, but
quickly scrambled to his feet and
wheeled about.
Two men stood between him and
the door, which had been closed 81
lently and swiftly. They were short

The Girl Of the Car.

The Girl of the Car.
oh" she said, with a little gasp of
re Dgnition, ARE you Mr.. Orme?" Her
cheeks flushed softly.
He bowed; his heart was beating
furiously. and for the moment he
dared not try to speak.
'Then we do meet again." she ex-
claimed,-"and as usual / need your
help. Isn't 1t queer7"
ANY service that +" Orme began
haltingly of course, anything that /
can do"
The girl laughed, a merry ripple of
sound; then caught herself and
changed her manner to grave earnest
ness. 1T is very important" she said.
II am looking for a %ive-dollar bill
that was paid to you today"
Orme started. What? You, toof"
Il, too? Has-has anybody else-7"
Her gravity was more intense.
"Why, yes" said Orme- "a little
man from South America"
"Oh-Mr. Poritolf' Her brows were
knit in an adorable frown.

IT'S inside pocket and went swiftly to
the table. He produced from his own
pocket a little electric hand lamp. by
the light of which he took rapid count
of orme's money.
His eyes glittered; a wide scar on
his forehead stood out whitley. Sud
denly he gave a little cry and held up
a single bill. He iabbered excitedly
to his companion for a moment, then
spoke quietly to orme.
"This all we want" he said I'VE
are not thief, see-I put other FIVE
dollar bill In its place and leave pocket
book here"
He thrust the selected bill into his
pocket, put the fresh bill in the
pocket book, and laid the pocket book
on the table.
See here" said Orme, still prone,
whats the meaning of all this?"
Don't say" The Japanese smiled.
He went over to the door. Come"
he said. The man astride orme re-
leased his hold and sprang to his feet.
Like a flash, both the Japanese disap-
peared.
Orme jumped up. Selling his
pocket book and his hat, he darted
after his a~ssailants. At the street en-
france to the tunnel, he looked quick
ly in both directions, but his men
were not in sight.
Pursuit was futile. Slowly he turned
back. He thought of notifying the
police, but, after all, he was none the
worse off-except for his promise tc

WhX Do Thew

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
It may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
Of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage SO
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss it.
A doctor welcomes badness when 1t
comes to him, as it is a sign Of Sc
dateness and dignifed learning, which
invariably increases his practise.

and stockily built. Orme exclaimed
aloud, for the light that filtered
through q window from the street
showed two faces Enthusiastically orr
entail.
If this was an ordinary robbery, the
daring Of the robbers was almost in
credible. They ran the risk that the
porter would return-if they had not
already made away with him. Only
the most desperate purpose could ex-
plain their action.
What do you want?" demanded
Orme.
"Your pocket book" replied one of
the men-"queekl" He smiled an
elusive smile as he spoke.
What If / refuse?" said Orme.
Then we take. Be queek."
A call for help would hardly bring
anyone; but Orme gave a loud cry,
more to discomfort his enemies than
with any hope Of rescue.
At the same instant he rushed to-
ward the door, and struck out at the
nearer Japanese.
The blow did not land. His wrist
was caught in a grip like an iron
clamp, and he found himself perform
ing queer gyrations. The Japanese
had turned his back toward Orme and
swung the imprisoned arm over his
shoulder. "A quick lurch forward, and
Orme sailed through the air, coming
down heavily on his side. His arm
was still held, and In a few seconds
he was on his back, his assailants
astride him and smiling down into his
face.
Orme struggled to free himself, and
promptly felt a breaking strain on his
imprisoned arm The knee OF the
Japanese was under the back Of
Orme's elbow. A moderate use Of the
leverage thus obtained would snap the
arm like a pipe stem. This Orme
realized, as he ceased struggling. The
strain on his arm relaxed slightly, but
the grip was maintained.
"Jiu-iitsu," explained the Japanese
in a tone that sounded gently apollo
getic.
The other robber now stopped and
ran his hands over Orme's coat. Find

this warning had little effect. Finally
the judge lost patience and told him
to make an effort to shorten his an.
swers and to- quit talking when he got
through.
This had some effect temporarily,
but a few minutes later the physician
began q long and rambling answer
which had only a vague and remote
bearing upon what had been asked
him.
