and that gaping crowd at their heels,
Chadwick stood on the sidewalk, smiling,
with his hat in his hand, waiting for her.
"YOur car, madame was all he said.
The girl stopped-for the first time.
Hopp, furious at the sight of his rival,
seized her by one arm. She released her
self quietly without looking at him. She
looked about her calmly at the gathering
crowd. Then: Nicholas, where are
your she called, with her first concern.
1Here he is. He's in my car Chad
wick informed her, with smile.
She moved to the open door. @Nicho-

Only Russian wolf-hound could have

Chadwick.
Instead, with twinkle in his eye, be
held out his hand to her, and his look sug-

some one in the crowd laughed as Hopp
waddled angrily to her other side.

padded velvet seat was IN
Ernst Hopp.
Hopp had certainly lost
no time in getting out here;
but why? Fifth Avenue was
not his usual happy hunting
ground. Chadwick smiled
grimly to himself. Hopp
looked not unlike an unresenting Christ
mas pig, but he had the reputation of
possessing the revenging memory of
maltreated elephant. Also, Hopp's little
beady, fesh-intrenched eyes were fixed
on that east side of the avenue.
"Confound his little poisoned mind!
If he thinks for minute that he's going
to decide first, he
TIP the middle of the sidewalk that
Hopp was watching came a beautiful
white dog, one that bore himself high in
the air and moved along with grace and
dignity that demanded and secured for
him the right of way. Those seeing him
in time involuntarily turned out of his
course; among such as failed to, the
handsome hound found a way, skilfully
keeping his slim muzzle safely out OF
reach of such fat, misguided ladies as es-
sayed to give him an admiring caress.
1t is doubtful if this slim aristocrat
of his species ever condescended to being
petted, but at any rate not at present.
just now he appeared to be wholly and
fifty devoted to clearing the way for her
who followed him.
Chadwick took one look at that tall,
slender girl with the flashing blue-black
hair, with the soft yet patrician features,
with that foreign pallor seldom seen on
this side of the water, and he thought no
more of the dog or anything else. What
coloring! How unconscious she was be-
fore all that scrutiny!
He turned in his seat, unwilling to take
his eyes from her. His trained eye took
ticeable; of her eyes, which settled no
where. She was-yes, she was the very
woman for the part. He sat up with q
shock. Hopp stood there on the sidewalk,
with his hat still on. but bowling low. with
foolish smile on his wide face. waiting
for the hound and the girl to approach.
Chadwicks lips closed. He noticed
how both tried civilly to pass that ges-
ticulating man; how he waddled along
beside them, with his hat in his hand
now, and talking faster; how the people
gathered. Chadwick gave his chauffeur an
order. His car was swung in to the curb.
