He was talking to the woman who

about five and thirty years of age. and

1t was on that night that Mark felt
at the end of his powers.

OF a sudden Eleanor's story recurred
to his mind with vivid force. The man
was obviously watching the house. and
he meant to stay there.
But. as Mark started toward him,
the man seemed to take fear, and
shamhled away. Something in his gait
brought back to Marks mind the recol-
lection of the man whom he had seen
outside the Misses Harpers' school.
And he began to follow him. 1t was
a role that he had never played before,
but justified. in his mind, by the neces-
sity of discovering the fellows identi-

in his mind how he was to accomplish
this Mark made his way after the soil

1t soon became clear that the man,
although he looked like tramp, had a
definite objective. Mark pursued him
toward Pennsylvania avenue. until he
discovered that he was nearing the
least desirable part of Washington,
whose location, so near the residence
of the chief executive, has always been
the wonder and scandal of visitors.

George Grigsby went to Washington
early in January for the purpose, so
he claimed, of arguing motion to

which the Territory was party.
So much for the claim George has
