thought came to me that Mr.. Poritol

Orme thought of the hard quest
the girl had followed that day-bat-
Ting for her fathers interests. What
kind of man could that father be
to let his daughter thus go into diff
culties alone? But she had said that
her father was unable to leave the
house Probably he did not know how
serious the adventure might be. Or
was the loss of the papers so desper-
ate that even a daughter must run
risks?
Together they went out to the
street. Orme caught dubious glance
from the clerk, as they passed
through the lobby, and he resented
it. Surely anyone could see
The girl led the way around the
corner into side street. There stood
the car He helped her in and with
out word saw that she was restfully
and comfortably placed in the seat
next to the chauffeurs. She did not

He cranked up, leaped to the seat
beside her, and took the levers.

The big car swung out in the Lake

ton of Lincoln park.

SYNOPSIS.

At the expense OF a soiled hat Herbert

on State street. He buys new hat and
is given a five dollar bill with: "Remem-
Der the person you pay this to- written on

black car and learns that in Tom ana

friends, but gets no further mint OF her

ton on the marked bill, which In futile
attempt to decipher it,, he copies ana
places the copy in a drawer in his apart
ment Senior Poritol South American,
calls and claims the marked bill. 0rme
refuses and fight ensues in which Pori-
tol is overcome. He calls in Senior Al
catrante, minister from his country, TO
vouch for him. Orme still refuses to give
up the bill. He learns that a Jap mas
called for him. Orme goes for a walk AK
and sees two Japs attack Alcatrante; he
rescues him. The minister tries dlpio-
macy, but fails TO get the marked PHI;
Returning to his rooms Orme is attacked
by two Japs who effect q forcible eX-
change of the marked bill for another.
Orme finds the girl of the black car walt

tells his story. She recognizes one or the
Japs as her fathers butler, Maku.

CHAPTER v.
"Evans, s. r."


The car ran silently through the
park and out on the broad Sheridan
road. Orme put on as much speed as
was safe in a district where there
were so many police. From time to
time the girl indicated the direction
with a word or two. She seemed to
be using the opportunity to rest, for
her attitude was relaxed.
The hour was about eleven, and the
streets were as yet by no means de-
serted. AS they swung along Orme
was pleased by the transition from
the ugliness of central Chicago to
the beauty of enthusiastically beauti-
full by night. The great highway fol-
lowed the lake, and occasionally,
above the muffied hum of the motor,
Orme could hear the tapping of the
wavelets on the beach.
The girl reused herself. Her bear
ing was again confident and untired.
Have you been up this way beforeT
she asked.
mo, Girl"
This is Buena park we are passing
now. We shall soon reach the city
limits"
Clouds had been gathering, and
suddenly raindrops began to strike
their faces. The girl drew her cloak
most closely about her. orme looked
to see that she was protected. and
she smiled back with brave attempt

Indla's National Dish.

Rice and curry is the national dish
in India. Just barely enough curry
to flavor, and each grain when cooked
is pulled up all by itself of snowy
lightness. Small quantities. Of meat.
or dried fish, are served with the cur
~ sauce, freshly made OF cocoanut
water, peppers, tumeric. etc. The
West African and West Indian do not
use curry. but season by boiling It
with a piece Of salt fish. salt pork or
chicken. Polished rice is cheat. and
eaten exclusively is deadly, so should
by right and law be kept out Of New
York.

at cheerful comradeship. Don't worry
about me-" she said. I'm quite dry"
With that she leaned back and drew
from the tonneau light robe, which
she threw about his shoulders.
The act was an act of partnership
merely, but Orme let himself imagine
an evidence of solicitude In her
thoughtfulness. And then he demand
ed of himself almost angrily: What
right have | to think such thoughts?
She has known me only an hour"
But to him that hour was as a
year, so rich was it's experience. He
found himself recalling her every
change Of expression, her every char
acteristic gesture. "She has accepted
me as a friend" he thought, warmly.
But the joy of the thought was modi-
fed by the unwelcome reflection that
the girl had had no choice. Still, he
knew that. at least, she trusted him,
or she would never have let him ac-
company her, even though she seri-
ously needed protection.
They were passing a great ceme-
terry. The shower had quickly ended
The white stones and monuments fled
by the car like dim and frightened
ghosts And now the car swung along
with fine houses, set back in roomy
grounds, at the left, the lake at the
right
do you know this city?" the girl
asked.
81 think not. Have we passed the
Chicago limits?"
Yes. We are in Evanston"
"Evanstonl" Orme had a glimmer
The girl turned and smiled at him.
'Bvanston-Sheridan Road"
'Evans-S. R." exclaimed Orme.
She laughed a low laugh. "Ah.
Monsieur DupinP she said
Speeding along the lake front, the
road turned suddenly to the left and
west, skirting a large grove of trees
which Rugged the shore. Just at the
turn was low brick building on the
beach. "The life-saving station" ex-
planned the girl; land these are the
grounds of the university. The road
goes around the campus, and strikes
the lake again mile or more farther
north"
Large buildings were at their right
after they turned. Orme noted that
they were scattered among the trees
some near the street, some at a dis
lance back. Then the road again
turned to the north, at point where
less imposing streets broke in from
the west and south.
"Stop at this corner" said the girl
Orme threw on the brakes.
I'VE are in Evanston, on the Sheri-
dan road" she said, "and this street
cutting in from the south is Chicago
avenue"
"'Chi. Az" exclaimed Orme.
She had taken the paper from the
pocket of her coat, and was scan
ming 1t closely. "One hundred PAGES
north and two hundred and ten east.
IT must mean tree"
Orme jumped to the ground. He
noticed that the university grounds
we're cut OF from the street by an
iron fence. There was a gate at the
corner by which they had stopped.
The gate was not closed. II It were
customary o-shut It at night, there
had been some neglect on this partic-
ular evening.
