CHAPTER VII.
A History.

- HIStOEy.
Whitaker consulted telephone book
without finding that Drummond had
any private residence connection, and
then tried at random one of the clubs
of which they had been members in
common in the days when Hugh Whit
aker was human entity in the knowl-
edge of the town. Here he had better
luck-luck, that is, in as far as it put
an end to his wanderings for the
night; he found clerk who remem-
bered his face without remembering
his name, and who, consequently, was
not unwilling to talk. Drummond, it
seemed, had lived at the club; he had
dined alone, that evening, in his room;
had ordered his motor car from the adj
Jacent garage for seven O'clock; and
had left at about that hour with a
small handbag and no companion.
Nothing further was known of his
actions save the police report. The car
had been found stationary on Wash
ington bridge, and deserted, Drum
monds motor coat and cap on the
uIlVer : seat. ByStanderS averred that
a man had been seen to leave the car
and precipitate himself from the bridge
to the stream below. The body was
still uncovered. The club had noti-
fed by telegraph a brother in San
francisco, the only member OF Drum
mond's family of whom 1t had any rec
ord. Friends, fellow members of the
club. were looking after things-doing
all that could and properly ought to be
done under the circumstances.
whitaker walked back to his hotel.
There was no other place to go: no
place, that is, that wooed his humor in
that hour. He was, indeed, profoundly
shocked. He held himself measurably
responsible for Drummond's act of des-
peration. Next to poor Peter Stark,

QUEER LUCK

Did you ever have a piece of
really good Iuck-for instance,
help from an entirely unexpected
source when you were in deep
trouble7
Luck, good or bad, is certain
Iy on the trail of Hugh Whita-
ker. You remember, corps of
eminent surgeons gave him just
six months to live. So he found
a girl In trouble, married her to
save her good name and disap-
peared Immediately. Five years
later he reappeared in New York
from Australia, happy, healthy
and prosperous, and started out
to find the little girl he married.
He discovers her when he goes
to the theater--she's Sara Law,
great actress. Mutual recooni-
ton across the footliahts stops
the play and creates wild ex-
element among the audience.
What next occurs Is told In this
InstaIIment. Go to IL!

lights, rare furnishings the rich YET
delicate atmosphere Of exquisite taste,
the hush and orderly perfection Of q
home made and maintained with con-
summate art: these furnished him with
dim, provoking intimations of an indi-
SsdHality to which ne was stranger
less than stranger-nothing
Almost immediately he became
aware of feminine footsteps on the
staircase-there entered to him lady
well past middle age, with the dignity
and poise consistent with her years, her
manifest breeding and her iron-gray
hair.
"Mr. Whitaker
He bowed.
II am Mrs. Secretan, a friend OF
Miss Laws. She has asked me to say
that she begs to be excused. at least
for tonight. And am further instruct
ed to ask If you will be good enough
to leave your address,"
Certainly: I'm stopping at the Ritz
Carlton but"-he demurred-"I should
like to leave note, if may"
Mrs. Secretan nodded an assent.
"You will find materials IN the desk
there" she added, indicating an es-
eritoire.
Thanking her, Whitaker sat down,
and, after some hesitation, wrote few
lines:
Please don't think mean to cause you
the slightest inconvenience or distress. I
shall be glad to further your wishes in
any way you may care to designate.
Please believe In my sincere regret
Signing and folding this, he rose and
delivered it to Mrs. Secretan.
He found himself in the street, with
his trouble for all reward for his pains.
He wondered what to do, where to go,
next. The driver of the taxicab was
holding the door for him, head bent to
catch the address Of the next stop. But
his fare fingered still in doubt.
Dimly he became aware of the vio-
lent Rawlings of brace of news ven-
doris who were ramping through the

lie will deliver at the chautauqua his
most famous lecture, excerpts from
which have been widely quoted in the
press and leading periodicals of the
! country. 1t is master address, packed
with the pivotal significance of the, con.
temporary whirl of events. This speech
is gem of analysis which takes into
account the maelstrom of the nations,
at the same time pointing out the conn,

of the universal hunger for practica.
BILE and workable idealism, and shows
whereby this very sincerity of desire
is slowly but surely moulding events TO

Sylvester A. Long is a thinker anI or.
