AZ May Not 4.v. Another Chance to Thank YOU"

The steel finger Of civilization, Of pro-
priety, OF visiting cards and formal In
Productions was reckoning us in. Miss
West put on her shoe.
We said little on the car. The few
passengers stared at us frankly, and
discussed the wreck, emphasizing its
horrors. The girl did not seem to
hear. Once she turned to me with
the quick, unexpected movement that
was one Of her charms.
81 do not wish my mother to know
I was in the accident" she said. will
you please not tell Richey about hay
ing met me?"
gave my promise, of course. Again,
when we were almost into Baltimore,
she asked to examine the gun-metal
cigarette case. and sat silent with 1t
in her hands, while told of the early
mornings events on the Ontario.
$50 you see," l finished, this grip,
everything have on, belongs to a fell
low named Sullivan. He probably left
the train before the wreck-perhaps
just after the murder"
And so-you think he committed
the-the crime?" Her eyes were on
the cigarette case.
Naturally" I said "a man doesn't
jump off Pullman car in the middle
Of the night in another mans clothes,
unless he is trying to get away from
something. Besides the dirk, there
were the stains that you saw. Why,
have the murdered mans pocket
book in this valise at my feet. What
does that look like?"
l colored when I saw the ghost Of
Of her mouth. THAT is" l finished,
'if you care to believe that l am in
nocent."
The sustaining chain Of her small
gold bag gave way just then. She did
not notice it. picked 1t up and slid
the trinket into my pocket for safe
keeping, where l promptly forgot it.
Afterwards | wished had let 1t lie UNI
noticed on the floor of that dirty little
suburban car, and even now when |
see n woman carelessly dangling a
similar feminine trinket, shudder in
voluntarily; there comes back to me
the memory of a girls puzzled eyes
under the brim of Hopping hat. the
haunting suspicion of the sleepless
nights that followed.
Just then / was determined that
my companion should not stray back
to the wreck, and to that end l was
determinedly facetious.
do you know that it is Sunday?"
she asked suddenly, and that we are
actually ragged??"
Never mind that" retorted. "All
Baltimore is divided on Sunday into
three parts, those who rise and go to
church, those who rise up and read
the newspapers, and those who don't
rise up. The first are somewhere be-
tween the creed and the sermon, and
we need not worry about the others"
you treat me like a child" she said
almost pettishly. Don't try so hard
to be cheerful lit is almost ghast-
ly"
After that subsidized like pricked
balloon, and the remainder of the ride
was made in silence. The information
that she would go to friends in the
city was shock; 1t meant an earlier
separation than l had planned for.
But my arm was beginning again. In
putting her into cab l struck it and
gritted my teeth with the pain. 1t
was probably for that reason that l
forgot the gold bag.
She leaned forward and held out
her hand. 81 may not have another
chance to thank you," she said, !"and
think l would better not try, any.

I me. This arm of mine is only false
belief" l sat up gingerly. Now
why don't you open that Window"
Mrs. Klopton succumbed. Because
there are queer goings-on in that house
next door," she said. IF you will take
the beef tea, Mr.. Lawrence, l will tell
you"
The queer goings-on, however,
proved to be slightly disappointing. 1t
seemed that after 1 left on Friday
night, light was seen fitting titfully
through the empty house next door.
Euphemia had seen it first and called
Mrs. Klopton. Together they had
watched it breathlessly until 1t disap-
peared on the lower floor.

ghost Stories" l said, giving my pill
lows a thump. And SO It was fit
ting flitfully!"
That's what 1t was doing" she re-
iterated. Fitting fiitfully-I mean fit
ting fitfully-how you do throw one
out, Mr.. Lawrence! And what's more,
it came again."
ooh, come now, Mrs. Klopton," l
objected, GHOSTS are like lightning;
they never strike twice in the same
night. That is only worth half a cup
of beef tea"
you may ask Euphemia," she re-
torted with dignity. Not more than
an hour after, there was a light there
again. We saw it through the chinks
of the shutters. Only-this time it be-
gan at the lower floor and climbed"

at night" came Meningitis voice from
the doorway. Really, Mrs. Klopton,
I'm amazed at you. You old duffer!
I've got to thank you for the worst
day of my life"
Mrs. Klopton gulped. Then realiz-
ing that the "old duffer" was meant
for me, she took her empty cup and
went out muttering.
THE Pirates crazy about me, isn't
she?" Mcknight said to the closing
door. Then he swung around and held
out his hand.

He had f1shed the key of the eel
larette from its hiding place in nay
shoe bag and was mixing himself what
he called Bernard Shaw-a founda-
ton of brandy and soda, with little
of everything else in sight to give 1t
snap. Now that l saw him clearly, he
looked weary and grimy. hated to
tell him what knew he was waiting
to hear, but there was no use wading
in by inches. l ducked ard got it
