A squad OF policemen who had en-

asked.

And toward them, with the bland

cigar tilted at one angle. his derby at

The roar became mad. defiant. But
Cargan stepped forward boldly. Now
he reached the leaders of the mob. He
pushed his way in among them. smil-

some friendly word. And now he was

they came into the city room of the
Star. Though the paper had been long
on the street, the excitement of the
greatest coup OF years still fingered in
the place. Magee saw the deferential
smiles that greeted the girl and watch

editors desk. In moment she was
back at his side.

ruefully. They descended to the street.

She led him into street where every
house was like its neighbor, even to
the Rooms" sign in the windows, and
up the steps of one she could have rec
ognized only by counting from the cor
ner. They entered the murky and
stereotyped atmosphere of a boarding
house hallway. with its inevitable hat
rack and the uncollected letters of the
homeless on a table. Mrs. Norton
came breeZily forth to meet them.
well, Mr.. Magee," she said, Il GER
tainly am glad you've came. I'm busy
on that lunch now. Dearie, show him
into the parlor to wait"
Mr. Magee was shown in. That
rooming house parlor seemed to moan
dismally as it received him.
On an easel was the sad portrait of
a gentleman. undoubtedly the late Ia
mented Norton. His uninteresting
nose appeared to be turned up at the
constant odor of cookery in which it
dwelt
Mr.. Magee stared round the room
and smiled. Was the romance of real
his dreams? Where We're the dim
lights, where the distant waltz. where
the magic of moonlight amid which
he was some day to have told beau
tiful girl of his love? Hardly in Mrs
Norton's parlor.
She came and stood in the doorway.
Hatless, coatless, smiling. she flooded
the place with her beauty. Mr.. Ma
gee looked at the flabby angels on the
wall, expecting them TO hide their
faces in shame. But no, They still
rode brazenly their unstable clouds.
"Come inn he cried. Don't leave
me alone here again. please. And, tell
me. is this the gentleman who took
the contract for making Mrs. Norton
happy"
IL can't come in" she said, blush
ing. She seemed to wish to avoid him
Yes. that is Mr.. Norton" She came
nearer the easel and smiled at the
late lamented's tonsorial crown. Il

So they stood. amid Mrs. Norton's
gloomy objects OF art And presently
he asked:
