vi. THE SUITE AT THE PLAZA

THERE he was, therefore, alone, without cent in
his pockets, without hat, without anything to
pawn for his fare up town-in dirty brown overals!
He had lost even the locket, to gain which he had
taken desperate risk. But worse, far than
all that, he had lost his only chance of finding the girl
whose picture had, for four months, exercised
potent effect upon his heart. He knew from
that glance at her face that he love with her
All that he had read into her features during his lonely
hours of communion with the portrait, he had SEEN
living and charming and piquant and kissable she
paused under the lamp: And now she was gone again
into the night, into the mystery! Their paths had
crossed once-would they cross again? When?
He wandered along with this thought up to the
Bowery, where at the curb beside taxicab, he saw
large well dressed man in shaggy overcoat and silk
hat Lighting cigar. Instantly Fenton awoke to his
mission and the necessity for getting up town. The
octoroon and the caretaker should be notified
as possible of the loss of the diamonds
He walked up and touched the mans arm just as he

the hall, still staring if frightened at him.

Disregarding Fenton, she walked unsteadly to the

awkwardlv enough the necklace dangling from his
hand to find her with her head on her sitting at
a buhl secretary. Fenton approached her with mis-
givings.

the Jewels upon the table; then, distressed at her
emotion he added Cant you tell me what the matter

three months trip another soon as he could pack
his grip at the Plaza and get away. He had an easy
good nature, facie manner, and had evidently seen
much of the world But, in spite of his jokes and glib
stories, Fenton noticed that Sproue had something
serious on his mind Was it his intended trip South
America business? Why, then, should he keep such
rapidly up Fifth-ave? Once, when the cab forced
to stop because of block near 34th-st Sproule grew
visibly nervous and cursed under his breath
At the Plaza Hotel he jumped out, gave quick look

Fenon to follow. As he entered the elevator Fenton

with key he took from his pocket Fenton entered
with him.
THEY found themselves in the private hall of the
suite already lighted, and Sproule led the way to
a small bedroom, opened closet, and took out suit of
gray tweeds and derby hat.
"Here you are! he said. Get into these, and you
return them when you have time No hurry about

anxious.
"See here" he said "I've had an important CALL and
I've got to get down town in hurry. Do you mind if
leave you here? You just shut the door when you're

might be caught in the act. For
awhile he hesitated; then he sat
down on a chair to think.
SUDDENLY he sprang up.
~ Steps were coming down the
hall-he heard the click of heels
upon the parquetry. Then, before
he could think what to do, his
door was slowly opened, and a
woman came in, still weeping,
caught sight of him, and stood
still, staring, her lips parted, her
blue eyes dewy with tears.
She was a woman of some
thirty years, tall and beautiful,
blond, with masses of fluffy yell
low hair under an enormous white
beaver hat, picturesque with
white plumes. Her mouth was
curved in a tremulous bow, and
little white teeth sparkled de-
liciously. AS she stood there,
framed in the opening of the door,
all in white broadcloth, touched
at the neck and wrists with white
fur, she looked like some sudden
delightful apparition come to
haunt him. But, great as was his
surprise, hers was evidently
greater-forbidding, for a mo-
ment, her speech. She stood with
a small black leather case in her
hand, looking at him.

began in embarrassment, "but
