GAYNOR'S
CHANCES
IMPROVE
DOCTORS TELL HIS SON THAT
UNLESS INFECTION SETS IN
FROM UNEXPECTED SOURCE.
THE MAYOR WILL RECOVER.

Hoboken, N. j., Aug. 12.-The
following bulletin was issued at St.
Mary's hospital at z O'Clock this
morning:
mayor Gaynor passed a good
night. He slept seven hours and
was comfortable this morning. He
is in excellent general condition.
Temperature 100; pulse 10; respir-
alton 16."
A surgeon who will dired an opcr-
alton upon the patient, II such ac-
tion is determined upon, is con-
stantly on watch beside the mayor.
Apprehension is felt that infection
may appear, necessitating an opera
ton instantly. So far, however, no
infection is apparent. The mayor
ate hearty breakfast.
The physicians are not agreed as
to the value of the X-ray in deter
mining the location of the bullet.
Several declare that it would be un-
safe to operate without any other
guide than that of the X-ray. A con-
sultatlon is planned for tonight upon
the question of an operation.
New X-ray plates taken yesterday,
developed today, show that the bull
let is lodged in the vault of the
pharynx, back of the nose, whence
1t could be quickly extracted If au
operation were undertaken. The
patient has difficulty in swallowing
owing to the location of the missile.
but this is to be expected, accord
ing to the doctors.
Two samples of blood are taken
daily. So far no signs of infection
are present.
At 1880 p. m. bulletin signed
by Drs. Arlitz and Dowd was is
sued as follows:
"The mayor is comfortable. He
has taken nourishment and is steadl-
ly improving"
Gaynor fell asleep at 10 O'Clock
and at 1880 p. m. was still sleeping.
The physicians told Rufus Gaynor
that unless infection set in from an
unexpected source his father would
recover.

We'll, I'll let you know if It makes

Flora knew that nothing either of
them could say would make any diff
ference to Clara, or turn her from the
thing she was pursuing; but by speak
ing she might at least find out If
Judge Butler himself were really her
object.

At this she was frightened; he had

hour.
He waited all that time aIone?"
NO. Mr.. Cressy came"
Flora felt a cold thrill in her nerves.
Then Harry had come back! What
had he come for?
He also would wait" the Japanese
explained.
Flora gasped. They waited to-

The Japanese shook his head. They
went away together"
She didn't believe her ears. Mr..

The Japanese seemed to ~revoIve the

a delicate oriental distinction. 1t put

CHAPTER XIV.
A Lady in Distress.


She had returned, ready for pitched
battle with Clara, and on the threshold
there had met her the very turn in
the affair that she had dreaded ell
along-the setting of Kerr and Harry
upon each other.
These were two whom she had kept
apart even in her mind-the man to
whom she was pledged, with whom
she had supposed herself in love, and
the man for whom she was flying in
the face of all her traditions. She
had not scrutinized the reason of her
extraordinary behavior; no. since
that dreadful day when the vanishing
mystery had taken positive form in
him had she dared to think how she
felt about Kerr. She had only acted,
acted; only asked herself what to do
next, and never why; only taken his
caTse upon herself and made it her
own, as if that was her natural right.
She could hardly believe that it was
she who had let herself go to this ex-
tent. All her life she had been do
Cile to public opinion. bowling to con-
ventions, respectful of those legal and
moral rules laid down by some rigid
material spirit lurking in mankind.
But now when the moment had come,
when the responsibility had de-
scended upon her, she found that
these things had in no way persuaded
her
Then this was herself, a creature

manned thus, bent above it. The
su%perscriptiOn was not hers. The note
was not addressed to Harry, but tC
her, and in a handwriting she had
never seen BEFORE,
Again the peal of the electric bell.
Shima appeared with a third enve1
ope. This time it was her own 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 muf1ed
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 name. 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 nan
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 if 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
ing. But he was going to Bur
lingame on the early train. He was
wOefully sorry. 1t was ages since he
had had a moment with her alone, but
at least he would see her that even
ing. She had not forgotten? They
were going to that dinner-and then
the reception afterward? Her sus-
picion that he was deliberately dodg-
ing wavered before his boyish, cheer
full, unconscious face. And yet, fol
lowing on the heels of his tendency
to question and coerce her, his 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 at
the mercy of Kerr.
Yet when his card was brought up
to her the next morning she looked at
the printed lame as W~iStfully as if it
had been his face. 1t cost an effort
to send down the cold fiction that she
was not at home, and she could not
deny herself the consolation of lean
ing on the baluster Of the second
landing, and listening for his step in
the hall below. But there was no move
ment. Could it be possible he was
waiting for her to come in? HuShi
that was the drawing-room door. But
instead of Kerr, Shima emerged. He
was heading for the stair with his lit
tie silver tray and upon it-a note.
Oh, impudence! How dared he give
her the lie. by the HAND of her own
butler! She stood her ground, and
Shima delivered the missive as if it
were most usual to find ones mistress
bef1ounCed in ~peignoir and petticoats,
hanging GREATNESS over the baluster.

TAKE that back h said cOldly,
and tell him that 1 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 as 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 tina sound
had ceased to vibrate, she heard it
shut again. Was he coming back?
There was a presence in the v~estibule
very vaguely seer through the glass
and lace Of the inner door. Her heart
beat with apprehension. The door
opened upon Clara.
Flora precipitately ~retreated. She
vas more disturbed than relieved by
the unexpected appearance. For Clara
must have een 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.
81 don't like than man." she an
nounced.
"Who?"
THAT. Kerr. met him just now
on the steps. Don't you feel there is
something wrong about him?"
"Oh, 1 don't know" said Flora
vaguely.
Clara gave her a bright glance.
"But you weren't at home to him"
I'm not at home to any one this
feeling the probe of Clara's eyes. I'm
feeling i'll. I'm not going out this
evening, either. I think I'll ring I'D
B~urlingame and tell Harry" 1t was
in her mind that she might manage
to make him stay with her while
Clara went on to the reception.
"Burlingame! Harry" Clara
echoed in surprise. "Why, he's in
town. 1 saw him just now as was
coming up"
Are you sure?"

thing must have kept him." she al

though this seemed the probable ex-
PLANTATION she did not believe it. Harry

had told her distinctly he would be
in B~urlingame! She thought of the
goldsmith shop and there returned to
her the memory Of how Harry and the
~blue-eyed Chinaman had looked when
she had turned from the window and
seen them standing together in the
pack of the shop.
You do look ill.," Clara remarked.
why don't you stay in bed and not
try to see any one?"
Flora murmured that that was her
intention, but she was far from speak
ing the truth. She only waited to
make sure of Clara's being in her own
rooms to get out of the house and
telephone to Harry.
1t was lot far to the nearest booth,
a block or two down the cross street.
She rang, first, the office. The word
came back promptly in his partners
voice. He had gone to Burlingame
