CHAPTERII II.
Back In the Room.

The situation had become more
before it would have been unimagin
able; one hour ago l had merely been
offering aid to a young woman in dis
treSS; now she was occupying my
rooms and ! was hurrying along Tenth
street, careless as TO my destination
and feeling as though the whole world
was crumbling about my head because
she wore a wedding ring.
AS I passed up the street the taxi,
cab which l had seen at the east end
came rapidly toward me. 1t passed
and / stopped and looked after it. ]
was certain that 1t slackened speed
outside the door Of the old building
but again it went on quickly until it
was lost to view in the distance.
Had l given the pursuers a clue by
my temperance?
l watched for a few moments longer.
but the vehicle did not return and
dismissed the idea as folly. After all,
New York was a civilized city, and |
could be sure Of the girls safety be-
hind the street door lock and that Of
my apartment door. SO / refused TO
yield to the impulse to 60 back and
assure myself that she was all right.
l must find a hotel and get a good
nights sleep.
AS l went on new thoughts began
to press on my Imagination. The tale
about the father. the assumed igno-
rance Of the conventions-how much
could be believed?
Had she not probably left her hus-
band in some Canadian city and come
to New York to enjoy her holiday in
her own fashion, Could she limo
Gently have adventured to Days door
and actually have succeeded in gain
ing admission?
Perhaps she was worse than ! was
ever now imagining!
Perhaps, If / had not left her-per-
hape, if l turned back / clenched
my fists and hurried on. / would not
give rein to the thoughts that were
making my heart bound like a run
away horse.
I had turned up Fifth venue and
had reached Twelfth or Thirteenth
street when I thought l heard the pat
ter of the Eskimo dogs feet behind
me. I spun around, startled, but there
was only the long stretch Of pavement.
I had resumed my curse when l was
sure ! heard the pattering again. And
again l saw nothing.
A moment later l was hurrying back
toward the apartment house. My
nerves had suddenly become unstrung.
! felt sure now that some imminent
LANCER was threatening J%acQueline. l
could not bear the suspense of wait
ing till morning.
And as ] raj / thought l heard the
patter OF the dogs feet, pacing mine.
/ was rounding the corner Of Tenth
street now, and again the folly Of my
behavior struck home to me. ! stopped
and tried to think. Was it some in
stinct that was taking me back, or was
1t the remembrance Of J~acQueline's
beauty? Was 1t not the desire to see
her, to ask her about the ring3
I had actually swung around when
I heard the ghostly patter OF the feet
again close at my side. / made my
decision In that instant and hurried

A correspondent suggests that the
origin Of the "unlucky thirteen" super
stition Is TO be found in the casting
lots by Hanan to discover a lucky

The 18th was certainly a most unfOr

story was SO popular in the middle
