crowded troiley-car. Through the
glass doors and long line of human
ity he saw her face. It was just yisi-
bic over the shoulder of a stevedore
and under the broad black hat of a
German frau. He felt vaguely THAI
he had seen her before.
1t was q rarely attractive face, with
Q sad sweetness about ii that wet
through his fiery heart. He had se2n
more beautiful women, but there was
something winning in the direct.
frank, but impersonai manner in
which she returned his admiring, in
terested gaze. He hoped that she
did not think him rude in staring.
For a moment he looked away, then
looked hastily back again, fearing to
lose her eyes. Was she laughing at
himl Was she flirting with him! He
was sure that there was at least a hint
of amusement in her faint smile.
The conviction that he had seen
her, had met her, became stronger.
She was merely waiting for him to
remember who she was. She read his
thoughts. Heavensl Who was she ?
How could he have met such girl
and forgotten her manner

Her glance had changed to one of re-

The car had carried him beyond

urbs. Still he stood and looked at
the girl. Suddenly he realized that
the croud of standees had thinned
out till a scant dozen were left. He
could now easily reach her. .
He mustered his courage up to the
point of throwing open the door and
striding down the aisle. She did not
flee. Her smile was now welcoming
