And then he recounted the episode
OF the yelled lady in the taxicab, the
incident Of the girl and the sandy
haired man in the crowd, and of his
subsequent view of the former at a
window in Number 1913.
My impulse toward reserve is sc
difficult to account for" he said in
conclusion, that l had determined to
keep the matter to myself"
Il am glad you didn't" was the low
voiced rejoinder
Flint" said Van Vechten earnestly
do you believe that l am qualified to
form a fairly accurate estimate of a
PERSONS character, from a study OF
that persons features?"
You should be, Mr.. Van Vechten. u
was the reply. Your habits of life
your daily associations, naturally
would develop a certain skill in that
direction. 1 would attach considerable
weight to your opinion in such a case.
Then," with much positiveness,
nothing In the world could be more
absurd than to imagine the girl /

that she Is surrounded by a criminal

cations, you will find to be unquaIi.

specting her,

for 1t Is more than probable that your
estimate is correct But the fact is
OF less Importance than the circum-
stance that the young lady seems to en-
terta1n very cordial dislike for you"
But" expostulated the other, "she
doesn't know me, Flint. 1 never saw
her In my life before yesterday. Why
should she dislike me? God knows !
never Intentionally harmed anybody in
my life."
She unquestionably thinks she
knows you-which, as far as her con.
duct Is concerned, amounts to the
same thing"
Il have racked my brain over it,"
van 'echten announced, until l am
utterly befogged. 1 have heretofore
accredited myself with some slight de,
gree Of perspicacity, but her unmistak-
able animus completely mystif1es me.
l am positive, Flint-absoIutely posi-
uve-that our destinies have never
crossed before in any way"
Queer enough was the others
comment. But the yelled lady; are
you certain she could not have been

oh. no, she was not Paige. There
