CHAPTER FIVE
Rendezvous With Destiny.
I. THE CLOCK.

By the time Priscilla Maine had spent
twenty minutes phoning and all her pa
tience garnerlHg snubs from one AFRO
CANT cab company after another, the
van of the storm had passed, leaving
the completer subjugatlon OF the
stunned and cringlng city to the end
less leglons of the rain.
Her own car was being used by Mrs.
Trowbridge for dinner visit out OF
town. In her present state of mind
and nerves the prospect Of stopping on
indefinitely in the studio was insufrer-
able.
Resigning herself, then, to a drench-
Ing, the girl locked up and scampered
through swimming streets to Fifth
avenue-where she waited three min
utes that seemed ten till a trudging
bus consented to pick her up. At the
uptown end OF her journey, likewise,
she had two blocks to run. from Fifth
avenue to Park. before she got home,
with hat, suit, furs and temper all de.
moralized.
While her maid prepared a bath, she
begged on by telephone from a dinner
engagement to which she had long
been looking forward. Tonight she
felt II would be impossible to hold her
own, with anxiety on account OF Mario
and LeOnora forever at her elbow,
gibbering specter.
A hot bath and the ease of neglige
should have lent her some tranquility,
but did not. She made the merest pre-
tense OF dining from a tray in her
room. She could not forget
