nier glass, before which he was putting
the finishing touches to the hurried toilet
he had made on arriving from the train,
and glared at Nose, the old negro-who for
years had filled the double role of butler
and valet in his uncle's bachelor household
"I'm not here, he replied impatiently
give no time to talk to anybody. Didn't
l tell you to say I'd gone out?"
"Yas, sab; an de gent man say he
knows it, but he's 'bleeged to talk to you
des de same. It's dat Mr.. Caucus"
"Kaukie! Why, what the devil"
And Dozy leaped for the hall and tore
down the stairs to the telephone on the
floor below.
Hello, Kaukie, what's up?"
3Plenty-and then some. They're try
ing to kidnap the speakers. They got
Beasley yesterday and carried him to
Newburgh; but we chased up after him
and got him~ Kaul1e paused to laugh
his triumph. "Say, you missed some
doings, Cullop."
3My luck!' groaned Dozy. "And all
for a fool wedding!"-
II called up to tell you that you want
to look out. They are probably laying
for you in front of your house, and your
stunt is to 60 by the roof"
"Roof!"
"Sure. Dead easy. Call up somebody
at the other end of the block and ask 'em
to let you out through their house. That's
how got here. And hurry up. It's
eighteen now"
Dozy hung up the receiver and dashed
to front window, where, carefully pulling
back the shade, he looked down into the
street. At first he saw only the usual
number of pedestrians passing to and fro;
then suddenly black shadow in the area
of house just across the way caught his
eye. Watching, it seemed to him to
change, to move. That's where they
were-a bunch of 'em-waiting!
He ran back to the telephone and I'M
hooked the receiver, then stopped short
and hung up again. Why, he didn't know
the name of a single soul living in that
block, and probably Nose didn't, either.
Nice, neighborly place, New York! He
shouted for the negro, who came running.
"Mose, who lives in the corner house at
the other end of the block?" he questioned.
"Dey amt nobody libbin' dere now
uey I'LL gone 10 ue country.
"Who lives in the next house?n
Nobody don't lib dere-its boardin'-
house"
whats the name of-do you know the
name of anybody living near the other end
of the block?" Dozy demanded desper-
ately.
"Why, vas, sab. Dey's family of de
name of Harris ibbin' in de fo'th house,
or maybe it's de fifth disremembers
which. Dey's ve'y fine fambly-dey's
got lace curtains des like we-all's."
But Dozy was already tearing through
the HIS in the telephone book. The Har-
rises were numerous, but he finally located
the one in that block. He called the
number, and woman S voice answered.
a maids, he soon discovered; for when he
had finished his rather breathless plea she
said she would speak to Mrs. Harris.
There followed minutes wait; then an
other woman's voice spoke to him, inquir-
ing in an astonished tone just what it
was he wanted. When, however, he had
repeated his request and explained it's
urgency, she acceded to it graciously,
laughing as if amused.

ever, it turned in, apparently headed for
the east side of town.
And then, just as Scarborough's taxi
had passed the gate and was following
the other down the broad parkway, some
thing went wrong with it. 1t stopped.
whats the matter" gasped Tim.
The chauffeur returned an inarticulate
grooming reply which said only too plainly
that he knew what the matter was and
was resigned to his fate.
Deciding that in such a case the wisest
course was to leave him to it, Tim jumped
out, thrust bill at him, and sprinted
back to the street in the wild hope of pick
ing up cab there. The hope was vain.
@All in the days work., he told himself
stoically. Anyhow, he had the license
number of the Mexican's cab, and it
would be simple matter to locate it
later and find out from the driver where
he had gone.
But, in the meantime, what was to be
done? He might walk over to Broadway,
get cab, and try to recover the lost
trail by making the round of places Gil
was expected to visit. The plan held
bare chance of success, and for want of
another Tim started off. But he had not
reached Broadway when he abruptly dis
carded his first thought for better
second, which was to find out what he
could of the occupants of the house at
which Gil had called. 1t was not house
to which he had been expected to go,
which made it all the more important to
know something about it.
r ETURNING to Central Park West,
- Scarborough walked north. Near the
corner of the street in which the house
stood he met policeman, a, big, genial
1rishman, and after little maneuvering
and the gift of cigar, Tim came to his
point.
@Know the name of the people living
in Number Severn" he asked
Number Swim, is it now?" echoed the
patrolman; and, to Tins astonishment,
his ruddy face widened into grin, and
he winked. 3Sure, what's in a manner"
he queried, chuckling. "A rose be amy
other name would smell the same-as the
poet says.
Tins blank gaze brought another
chuckle from him, and he continued:
ouIc uoW, IL hueW UIle udIue Ill

But don't know, and that's the truth av
it. She moved into the house a week ago

He regarded Tim seriously
"Ye're right, though-she's queen, a
rale wan if liver there was. Did We liver
now see the loike av thin eyes? Velvet
stars they are, and that's the truth av it. y
Scarborough smiled in non-committal
assent, not sorry to have his interest in
Number Seven misinterpreted 1t was
evident that, in addition to the man he
had seen, the house also sheltered
woman, an unusually good-looking one,
which was interesting news, though not
important. This was not a woman case
3Think she's married. he asked, Sc
lecting the question at random as one

the word over his tongue in his vehemence.

to him that it was in that very block that
Dozy Cullop lived with his uncle. And
Dozy had sharp eye for pretty face.
If there was one above the average fitting
about his purlieus, he was more than apt
to have seen it and to have trustworthy
data concerning it's owner. With the
thought Tim quickened his pace There
was still chance that Dozy had not yet
started for his college dinner.
