did he care? The whole world had

The next morning he met her in

It happened at about Thirty.fourth
street just before the express swung
up toward the new tunnel cut: There
came heavy jolt and grinding of
brakes, then darkness. At first there
was only the sensation of ann1Sance
at the delay. Dick wished he could
still see her face. He had risen to
give his seat to an old lady at Fourth
teenth street, and stood close to the
center doors. And all at once he felt
some one jostle him, and a tug at
his pocket. Just as the train started
UP, and the lights went up, the man
behind him had seized him by the
soulder, but Dick already had grip
on tho wrist that was half out of his
pocket.

They were working in pairs, he
knew at once. The pal of the one he
had hold of was calling for the guard
and accusing Dick OF being the theft.

and he knew the game thoroughly. Not
once in the tussllng did he let 20 his
grip. and when the train pulled into
the Grand Central station he was smil.

the man who had accused him fled, but
was hustled back before he reached
the first stairs. And all at once Dick,
standing nonchalantly with a neat
knuckle grip on his prisoners wrist,
saw the girl near him in the crowd,
her eyes wide and friendly.
And just how it all happened Dick
never could quite tell, but when the
police came It was she who vouched
for him. She gave her name as wit
