CHAPTER XI.
The Empty Summit.

There was an orderly little fur
ry in the arched and columned
lobby of one of New York newer
hotels, marking the arrival Of an
expected and rather distinguished
guest. Contrary to some opinions,
it is not particularly difficult to
be distinguished in New York
for a day. To make the distinction
last - that is quite another mat
ter; but for a day, the news hun
CRY journals will provide it on the
slightest excuse, whether for a
dancer, a diplomat, or a talking
dog.
Perhaps there was a trifle more
excuse than usual for temporary
interest in the visitor now crossing
the lobby, attended by his secre-
tary, by a native valet, and by
several obsequious hotel servants
carrying in luggage from a pair of
taxicabs. For he was on his way
to Washington upon a mission
which had all the allure Of Sec
recy. Moreover, he was a man
whose name was by no means
strange to the journals of the hour
had not been strange for some
years. although report asserted
this to be his first visit to the
United States.
In the south, where manhood is
reached early, it surprised no one
that David, Noel had not long
passed his Both year. Moreover,
genius is not a question of age.
But the reporters in the hotel en-
trance were surprised and encour-
aged by the unexpected youth of
their quarry. They gathered near
unobtrusively, while he registered.
When he laid down the pen and
turned away to follow the smiling
manager of the hotel, who attend
ed him as a mark of special consid-
Grafton, one Of the newspapermen
started forward.
"Mr. Noel, about the Janeiro
treaty" he began eagerly.
The sallow young secretary
waved him back, affronted by the
Iboldness Of the assault; but Noel
paused to give his questioners a
brief nod.
Tomorrow, at 49," he prom
ised, the swep Of his glance In
Guiding the whole group Of re-
Iporters in his implied invitation.
The panelled and mirror set ele-
vator bore the prey away from the
hunters.
"There is q man waiting for you

nounced, as the party went down

South American; for so Noel was
usually called, in spite Of his
northern birth. HE showed q

"Quite right" Noel answered.

face, and his grey eyes lighted. 81

time that there was a stranger at
the opposite end of the room

peered giddily while advancing on

rose and approached them. 1t

is so" returned Meyer gently.
He continued to look at Bruce
fxedly, his lipes smiling, his eyes
very cold. Meeting that regard,
Bruce felt a contagious GOODNESS
settle around his heart. What
did Meyer mean him to under

delirium should be attributed to
him?
"What?" he asked quietly as he
could. What suggested the fever

He was all boy" Mrs. Rosenbaum
went on. "but not daring. He never
hoped cars and never tried to cross the
street in front of a car Often when
would think it perfectly safe to go
across, he would grab me by the arm
and tell me to wait. My neighbors
used to say what an innocent boy he
was"
When Mr.. Rosenbaum came home the
active search for the child was begun.
At the station house it was thought
that the little boy picked up on the
street could not be little Wilfred. The
police thought the unidentified child
was eleven years old, while Wilfred
Rosenbaum was but seven. When they
mentioned blue sgnet ring with the
initials w. II. r. the father was con-
vinced and went to the hospital, where.
because of his nervous condition, the
news was finally given him that the
boy was dead.
The father was present at the Front

when George McElwee. who picked up
the boy and carried him to the Episco-
pal Hospital, was given a hearing ana
held without bail by Magistrate Cos =
