 Oh. certainly not" :" Wainwright said, fndinerently Next came the entrance of Walter, who halfed just within the doorway, and looked from one to the other of his guests, in obvious per plexity Datwean the two as to which might be Mir. Wainwright That gen tlenan, standing up aad smiling, went forward with his hand o1atstretched. q aIu MT. Vain syrissht,' he said, as he shook hands with hs4 hoet, "and must tell you that I'm m1sAty glad to meet you-again!', Tae enphasis on the last word was sieAidcnnt- Then, he turned toward the paysician: This is Dr. Forbes a particular friend of mine, who was good enough to accom- pany me.

 Walter beamed pleasantly.

 wonderful getaway. And that reminds me, MT. Blount-how did you centrive to disappear so soon9''
 Why, the fact is,' he said with an assumption Of great candor, stI'm a stranger in New York. and I knew, od course, there'd be big hullabaloc about thing like this, and I hate no toriety police courts and so on, you underStand-newspa too. So whe1 saw the fellow that attacked you had skipped I had the idea that I'd do the same thing, though for different req son. just mixed in the crowd a min ute and then slipped around the corner into the next block and came home He chuckled complacently and ther added, In order to change the topic But how'd you manage to find me?'' Well, now,' Wainwright answered that's a bit odd too An anonymous person called me up on the telephone at my place last night after got back said he'd been among these present al my little adventure, had seen my res cuer and had guessed afterward tha- might like to know who it was, ana he gave me your name and address,
 Walter perceived that Andrew wal now occupied in rearrangfng som, magazines on the large ta ble, and h, recalled the memorandum prepared fo his guidance. Yes, the Great Whit, Wayi That must be introduced next He spoke mechanically.

 <7Yeg 'H was fhe aFlavzer very ,chAe1 gully given, for now the thief saw hi way to carry out the required instruc don. And can't say that I like you town very much. Of course there ar some things right enough. I'll admi that the first month T spent along tn Great White Way passed off livel, enough. But, you know, man 500 gets enough of that. When dad an mother came on east to meet sister who's just got back from Europe, took this place so we could all be tt getherfo1 $ aSHhile. Dads been josT ing me about getting homes1ck,'' b z added, with a shamefaced grin tha acknowledged some justice in th charge. He says I won't be able t stick it out for a year. but I think wi-naybe just for stunt.v
