CHAPTER TX.

Durham slept very little that night.
His soul was lowering between Joy
and anxiety. Almost he was inclined
to find some way to send her word
about the man he had seen lingering
about the place, and yet perhaps it
was foolish. He had doubtless been
to call on the cook. and there might
be no connection whatever between
what Durham had heard and seen and
the lonely girl.
Next day, with careful hands. the
girl made herself neat and trim with a
few materials she had at hand. She
gathered her little hoard Of money to
take with her, and cast one look back
over the cheerless room, with great
longing to bid it farewell forever. and
go back to the world where she be-
longed: yet she realized that It was a
quiet refuge for her from the world
that she must hereafter face. Then
she closed her door, went down the
stairs and out into the street, like any
other servant on her afternoon out,
walking away to meet whatever crisis
might arise. She had not dared to

She would not accept 1t, of course, but
it would be a comfort to know that
some one cared. She longed mex
pressibly for this interview, just be-
cause he had been kind. and because
he belonged to that world from which
she had come. He would keep her
secret. He had true eyes. She did
not notice soft, padded feet that came
wobbling down the street after her.
and she only drew little further out
toward the curbing when blear-eyed.
red face peered into hers as she stood
waiting for the car. She did not, no
tice the shabby man who boardedsthe
car after she was seated.
Tryon Durham stood in the great
stone doorway, watching keenly the
passing throng. He saw the girl at
once as she got out Of the car. but he
he did not notice the man in the bag

he planted himself in a convenient
place to watch until his charge should
come out again. This was perhaps a
gentleman who had come to engage
her to work for him. She might be
thinking Of changing her place. He
must be on the alert.
Durham placed two chairs in the
far corner Of the inner parlor, where
they were practically alone, save for
an occasional passer through the
hall. He put the girl into the most
comfortable one, and then went to
draw down the shade, to shut sharp
ray of afternoon sunlight from her
eyes. She sat there and looked down
