 He drowned with annoyance. Why couldn't such a sensible girl come home at the proper time. when all ar engagements had been made for her re- ception and her family and friends had every reason to expect her? There was one consolation in the absence of those friends from town; he was not obliged to invent answers to embar- rassing inquiries concerning his diln- tory cousin. But this was small com pensation for stewing in New York by himself until Paige chose to notify him os her whereabouts and intended move ments. He gave one moment of sober thought to the circumstance that he really did not know precisely where she was; if some sudden emergency should arise necessitating a cable he would not know where tO reach her.
 But he speedily dismissed this phase of the matter; it was no new thing for Paige to start or on a holiday jaunt without conhding her proposed itinerary to anybody. and now Mrs Deyereaux was with her

 Van Vechten's manner was 60 dellb crate and grave that Tom favored him with a questioning stare.

 No. l don't But l think that I should-which is quite different thing"
 Ice knew that one phase of the morn. ing's happenings would not be too much for Tom to keep to himself and for some unexplained reason Van Vechten wanted it to be the mysteri. ous lady of the taxi-cab.
 As they were turning into the Pow. hatan's granite archway. Van Vecb- ten bent an inquisihve glance toward Number 1913. His curiosity was now immeasurably augmented by a fresh interest And he received another shock-one that fairly staggered him.
 For the first time in all the months that he had surveyed the silent facade be caught a movement at one of tbe blinds. It was drawn aside. and he was afforded a momentary glimpse of girls face--the face of the girl in the crowd.
 But 1t was not this circumstance una kaN uNf ing directly at him with a look that was both bitterly scornful and accus ing In this new mien the face was even more beautiful than he had dared hope for. But why should she be with ering him with a look of contemptu- ous disdain and rebuke? He had never in all his life seen her face before this day.
 He was actually stung to an involun. tary expression of protest.
 My God Don't-don't look at me like that!"
 "Er-what?" Tom ierked out, slew. ing around and following Van Vech. tens set gaze
 But the blinds were again closed.

lounging-room. The stranger was un- der medium height slender and un- assuming in appearance, but carried himself with certain quiet assurance that commanded attention. He Was as gray as a badger, and his lean, smooth-shayen face resembled tooled leather.
 There was a cOnspicuously alert look about his steady gray eyes, Van Vechten also noted, which presently disclosed a habit of narrowing and re- veallng a web of fine wrinkles at their corners. This single change of facial muscles. Van Vechten soon learned to recognize. possessed the peculiarity Of indicating one of two moods-concen- tration upon the matter in hand. or slse a smiling humor that made one warm to him. Van Vechten felt that his visitor would be chary of speech, but that whatever he might say would be well worth hardening to.
 MT. Rudolph Van Vechtenr" now gueried the newcomer in tone that could not have carried yard beyond he person to whom 1t was addressed. Van Vechten nodded and motioned to chair.
 My name" he acknowledged. And, with a wry mouth: You are a deteo. i've might have expected it-but dide't."
 Instantly the steady eyes contracted and wrinkled at the corners. The young man all at once discovered that ais igritation was evaporating, and that he could smile in sympathy with his visitor.
 Said the quiet voice: ~I am glad to know that my estimate of your intelll- genee WAs not at fault Flint is my name-Phineas Fiint--from Central Omoe."
 Considering that you have never seen me before, Mir Flint" Van Vseh- ten lightly TetOrted, it is rather ex- trRordinRry that you should pnsseSs any particulars upon which to bass an estimate of my intelligence"
 The steady, smiling regard still met the young mans.
 "IIl demonstrate just how simple matter 1t is--if you have pardonsd this intrusion?"
 The listener nodded. His attention was already won.

 It was a girls face. It was refined and delicate of contour, and was framed in a nimbus of waVy midnight hair. It was, moreover, a strikingly beautiful faee-eyen hauntingly beau. tiful, for 1t was a face which the be- holder would not be likely to forget for many and many a day. Van Veehten knew that he had never seen the girl before; still there was something about her that teased and psrplsxed him.

CHAPTER w.
The Face in the Crowd.

Up to the present moment the two young men had been confronted only by a series of mystifying incidents. baiding. to be sure, but bearing noth- ing sinister upon their face; and un. less Van Vechten's more recent per. turbation Cat sight of the yelled lady) be taken into account, neither had the mornings queer events borne any especial significance whatsoever.
 But here, in the twinkling of an eye, was tragedy stark and grim. Only a minute or two ago and this man was pulsing with the perfect vitality of young, vigorous manhood; now the spark of life was flown-extinguished as one might puff out the flame of a candle.
 Both were profoundly sobered by the shocking end of their brief chase, and even Van Vechten's more active mentality was slow to accept realiza. ton. As for Tom Phinney, he merely stood gaping at the still form, his brain for the time being utterly be- numbed
 The spell of horror was in a meas. ure broken by a policeman's belated arrival. He stopped and turned up the mans face, and a thin crimson line could be seen staining the left temple The features were composed, as fl death had been kind and mercifully swift.
 "Slugged," was the officers senten. tious conclusion. Standing upright, he shot glance round the crowd "Who saw this done?" he roughly demanded
 Nobody replied; only an uneasy stir ring undulated through the small gath. ering, which promptly settled again in to silent immobility; and the blue-coat as usually happens in such cases sought to cover with rudeness his in competency to handle the situation.
 It was at about this iuncture, Van Vechten forever afterwards remem bered, that be first became aware of the face. He was standing behind Tom, a bit 10 his left, and opposite the alley mouth. His entire attention, nat urally enough, up to this time had been absorbed by the ugly scene at hil feet. It was all the more strange therefore, that his mind should have been attracted and held elsewhere even temporarily. But nevertheless all at once he experienced an indefn able, irresistible Impulse to glance up ward at a certain point in the ring oi onlookers. And his regard came to rest upon a particular face.
 Strdghtway he became sensible oi an unfamiliar thrill, an abrupt quick ening of the pulse. for which he could not in the least account.
 Perhaps he would have looked away again at once had there not come tC him, as instantaneously as had th, impulse to glance upward, a conVic ton that the face signihed something far out of the ordinary. The present circumstances might in a measure ac count for the horror mirrored there but not for the despair. the terror which seemed gradually to be chilling the faces owner into a statue of ice The face, Van Vechten told himself was refecting emotions of a depth Rnt potency for which the mans deatl alone was wholly inadequate to ac
