CHAPTER v.
Swans, S. r."

The car ran silently. through the
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 before?"
she asked.
NO. 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

at cheerful comradeship. Don't worry
about me-" she said. I'm quite dry"
With that she leaned back and drew
from the tonneau a 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 l to think such thoughts?
She has known me only an hour"
But to him that hour was as q
year. SO rich was its 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-
fled 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 &C.
company her. even though she seri-
ously needed protection.
They were passing a great GENE
terry. The shower had quickly ended.
The white stones and monuments fed
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.
Il think not. Have We passed the
Chicago limits?"
Yes. We are in Evanston"
Evanston" Orme had a glimmer.
The girl turned and smiled at him.
"Evanston-Sheridan Road"
"Evans-S. r." exclaimed Orme.
She laughed low laugh. "Ah.
Monsieur Dupin!" she said.
Speeding along the lake front, the
read turned suddenly to the left and
west. skirting large grove of trees

TURF was a 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 a 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 a point where
less imposing streets broke in from
the west and south.

Orme threw on the brakes.

She had taken the paper from the

Orme jumped to the ground. He
noticed that the university grounds
were cut on 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 to shut it at night, there

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 a 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 q daughter must run
risks?
Together they went out to the
