CHAPTER I.
Number 1918.

Number 1918.
As R1dolph Van Vechten entered
the outer doorway OF his club, the
handsome mission clock in the hall
was Ginning the three-quarter hour
after cight
The Young mans thin, sensitive llps
assumed a rueful curve and his brow
gathered In n scowl.
Fifteen minutes yet until nine" he
muttercd In a tone OF complaint star
ing hard at the dial. "Whatever
shall do until night the gods alone
know. Plague on such rotten luck!"
And having thus given audible ex-
preston OF his feelings, he dismissed
the temporary irritation with a re-
into the luxurious but deserted loung-
ing-room overlooking the street, where
nc dropped heavily into a huge. bill
lowy leather chair which stood facing
one OF the windows. lie Immediately
discovered that the chair was insuffer-
ably hot. and bounding to his feet,
glared round for an attendant.
None was to be seen; so he showed
the stuffy chair await was too
heavy to kick-and ierSed a cooler
and more inviting willow one into its
place, wherein he once more seated
himself.
Somebody ought TO kick me for
having come here" he feelingly re-
marked. Then he turned again to his
incipient contemplation OF the hot
empty street
Van Vechten might have told you.
II he had paused to analyze his feel.
ings respecting the Powhatan. that his
attachment to his club was based upon
some 6ort OF sentiment. His slender.
modishly attired figure. and his finely
ch!seled, hlgh.bred features (Which
we're much .paler than they should
have been) we're by no means strange

Der OF the Powhatan more assiduously
svailed himself OF the clubs exclusive
privileges than did he. Among the
small coterie OF his intimates and
friends. and the much longer list OF
ecquaintances who would have liked
70 share the closer relationship. no
body ever thought OF calling for him at
his own handsomely appointed bache-
Ter apartments In the Kenmore until
tho Powhatan Club had first been
tried. and even then not before noon.
Because. prior to that hour. all at
tempts to communicate with him so
Invariably had been frustrated by his
diplomatic valet, Barnicle. that every.
body had long slnce learned that he
was not In the habit OF rising before
twelve O'Clock.

New York-"these congresses that ad-

tourists from Venice Ia 1911, entailing
a loss Of thousands OF dollars. Last
year there were NO such fears. and the
biennial art exhibition ana the dedlca-
tion of the restored Campanile brought
an unusual number of visitors.

sumed too much alcohol the night be-
fore.
Then one afternoon the club was
electrified. Tom Phinney had been
staring unseeingly into the street for
some minutes. II struck him all at
once that the windows and the front
door across the way were no longer
boarded, and that all the windows
wore blinds; the red stone steps, how.
ever. showed no indication OF having
been recently cleaned
Il say, fellows" he abrutly sang out,
"thirteen-thirteen's occupied"
There was a concerted movement
toward the clubu window; everybody
present left OF whatever he happened
TO be doing at the moment and stood
silently gaping at the gloomy front
Blinds closed drawn" somebody
presently remarked. Wonder who it
can be?"
What WAS learned during the word
less. curious inspection was about all
the Information respecting Number
1913 that was to be vouchsafed dur.
ing the succeeding months During
that time 1t was scarcely possible that
any person could have come or gone
within the eighteen hours that are the
liveliest OF the twenty.four, without
attracting somebody's attention at the
Powhatan. For as the weeks passed,
and the shades remained down by
day, and the windows dark by night,
curiosity grew apace; the house be-
came more and more fruitful topic of
speculation; and with its secret front
constantly staring one In the face. the
least Sign OF life or activity must have
been noted.
Why should anybody want to main
tain such persistent. unnatural seclu-
sion?
Inquiry at the estates ONCE build
Ing was productive of no enlighten-
ment. Considerable difficulty was ex.
perienced In gaining access to the
manager; then he at once denied Mum
Der 1889 occupancy. Whereupon
Tom Phinney felt that the Powhatan's
committee was not being treated with
the Difference which II unquestionably
deserved.
See here" he said, humping the
desk under the managers nose; your
COMPOUNDED house is situated right
across the street from the Powhatan
club"
For the first time the managers
eye contained a CLEAN of interest. He
interrupted
Isn't Mr.. Percy Bonner on your
house committee?" he inquired.
"Yes. he is." returned Tom, not re-
ceding In the least from his determined
stand. He waited a moment. but as
the CLEAN died In the managers eye.
proceeded.
Our body is select, you must be
aware, and we are proud OF the quiet
respectability of our neighborhood.
There's enough influence In our mem
bership to run out anything OF shady
nature-we won't stand for it, in
short"
The manager acknowledged the Jus
tice of this ultimatum, but merely
said: IF you see or hear anything
wrong. run EN- out; don't care"
we have a right to know who our
neighbors are" insisted Tom.
Inquire Of Them" said the mana.
ger; Il can't tell YOU"
do you mean to say you don't
know ?"--incredulously.
Just that. The present tenant new.
er applied to US at all-have never
seen him, in fact. Occupancy OF the
house was arranged in quite another
manner. Really, gentlemen. that is all
I am at liberty to-tell you"
And the Powhatan's committee was
I bowed politely out.
II was not for nothing that the
house was called the House Of Mys.
