What could It mean?
Going to the window he cransd out,
trying to sss what was going on upon
the sidewalk. but the extending cor
nice underneath the Window made this
quite impossible. although the touring
car beyond the curb was visible. This
lacked interest. 10 he hurried to the
outer hall. where he stood near the
elevator shaft and listened earnestly.
Presently. ~ the group succeeded in
getting up the three stairs leading
from the sidewalk into the ground door
hall. he caught word or two OF thick,
congratulatory talk.
"'sh'ou Joy. Oh man." was the most
frequent Of the crowding. earnest
words.
What could It mean?
A he heard the elevator door close
and the swift swish Of the ascending
car. Rankin withdrew to the apart
ment there to linger. waiting for his
master, consumed with carefully mas.
tered curiosity.
Devoured with curiosity he stood
waiting ~ his master entered through
the outer door which he considerably
had left ajar for him. He had. guessed
At certain details Of his young employ
er's probable condition and knew that
in the midst Of Just those details
Broadway was impatient Of latch-keys,
bell-ringing or even knuckle.tapping on
the door.
The nrst thing he noted - the un-
steady Broadway entered was the fact
that his silk hat had been reversed up
on his head; the second was that
someone evidently had been sitting on
his raglan cape while It had been
rolled rather carelessly; the third was
that his face wore an expression Of re-
lief and peace with all the world.
Not 20 unsteadily that he failed en-.
tirely to reach the goal Jackson tackled
across the room and found the win
dow. His friendly escort was still svi-
IDENTIFY in his mind, for from the open
window he now waved q genial hard
kerchief. whispering meanwhile
''Night-night." as II the hearty spirit
which induced the words would take
them to the sidewalk ten score feet be-
low.
