complained that gentlemen of thirty

CHAPTER w.

Simon Ieroux.


With Jacquelines arm drawn
through mine L paid visit to the
bank in which I had deposited my
legacy and drew out fifteen hundred
dollars, next depositing Jacqueline's
money to my own account. 1t amount
ed to almost exactly eight thousand
dollars.
1 wanted to deposit her money in
her own name, but this would have in
volved inquiries and explanations
which 1 was not in a position to sat
isfy. So there was nothing to do but
deposit 1t in my own, and afterward I
could refund it to her.
wondered, as we strolled up Fifth
avenue together, how much she knew,
what she remembered, and what
thoughts went coursing through her
head. That childlike faith of hers was
marvelOusly sweet. l believed that
she was ldimly aware that terrible
things lay in the past, and that she
trusted 20 her fOrgetfulness as a
shield to shelter not only herself but
me. and would not voluntarily recall
what she had forgotten.
1t was necessary to buy her an out
fit of clothes, and this problem wor-
ried be good deal. I was afraid that
she would not know what to buy; but,

as the morning wore away, I realized
that her mental faculties were not
dimmed in the least.
She observed everything, clapped
her hands joyously as q child at the
street sights and sounds, turned to
wonder at the elevated and at the
high buildings. I ventured, therefore,
upon the subject that was perplexing
me.
"Jacqueline,' l said, "YOu know that
you will require an outfit of clothes
before we start for your home. How
much money shall I give you, Jacque-
line?"
Fifty dollars?" she inquired.
gave her a hundred and took ride
ulous delight in it.
We entered large department
store and 1 mustered up enough cour-
age to address the young woman who
stood behind the counter that dis
played the largest assortment Of wom-
ems garments.
"I want a complete outfit for-for
this lady" 1 stammered. Enough
for".-I hesitated again ia two
weeks journey"
Bermuda or Niagara Falls?" asked
the young woman.
l. 81 beg your pardon?" inquired, con-
scious that my face was insufferably
hot.
IF you are taking madame to Ber-
muda she will naturally require cooler
clothing than If you are taking her to
Niagara Falls" the young woman ex-
planned, looking at me with benevolent
patience And seeing that was wholly
disconnected, she added:
perhaps madame might prefer to
make her own selection"
AS 1 stood in the center of the store,
apparently a stumbling block to every
shopper, Jacqueline fitted here and
there until a comfortable assortment
of parcels was accumulated upon the
counter.
I bought a neat sole-leather suit
case, which, at Jacqueline's practical
suggestion, was changed for a lighter
one of plated straw.
1t was while Jacqueline was exam

was drawn TO Il tall, elderly man with

times before, but, though his features
were familiar, I had forgotten his
name. I stared at him and he stared
back at nae, and made an urgent sign
to me.
Keeping an eye on Jacqueline and
not losing sight of her at any time, I
followed the tall man. AS l neared
him my remembrance of him grew
stronger. When he turned round
had his name on my lips.
It was Simon Leroux.
"Diable So you've got her"" he
began in a hoarse, forcfble whisper.
