mirably had the last syllable been omit
ted. His net results were the infor-
nation that Mr.. Randolph, in a repre-
hensible state Of intoxlcation and at
seven o'clock OF the morning of which
he had disappeared, had exchanged his
swell evening garments at a second
hand emporium on Sixth avenue for a
suit of thcks and eighteen dollars In
cash, stating as he left the place, that
he was thinking of going South for the
rest of the winter.
After minute and leisurely study
of all the exits from Manhattan. the
plaln-clothes men had given IL as their
united opinion that Mr.. Randolph had
been speaking facetiously in his last
known remark and had probably not
voyaged farther south than Cana,
street. They said If he would only tryV
to leave New York they could find him
at once, and settled down on policy
Of watchful waiting for that event.
The efforts made by Mr.. Milyuns In
the direction of springing Miss Thorn
ton on society went equally awry, but
were not quite so fruitless. His ma
tural love of q smooth-running estab-
lishment on the slippery crust of Goth.
ans social plane would have been
saved a severe bump II American pa
rents were as careful to look up their
guests moral records as they are to
study their ratings in Bradstreetum's.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Milyuns. 1t
happened that a certain young scion
of once gentlemanly house was In
cluded In the first large dlnner-box-
party given to meet Miss Imogene
Pamela Thornton. In the natural
course of such events, the pasty youth
stepped up for presentation, register
ing in his protuberant eyes CLEAN of
dubious surprise. What If he should
say, Hello, viviennel" Would 1t Gre
ate a sensation?
Something else did; namely Miss
Thornton's modulated but terribly
clear voice.
II met Mr.. Beamer," said Pamela,
drawing back quickly her half-extend-
ed hand, "when l was q chorus-girl."
She turned with a winning smile to
her recently beaming hostess. 81 don't
care to know him in pleasanter sur
roundings."
For one GREATNESS second there
threatened one of those silences that
spell social disaster. Eileen took 1t
upon herself to mash It in It's extreme
youth with soft tap of her efficient
hammer.
"Oh, must you really go2" she re-
marked to Mr.. Beamer.
Did this spectacular debut strike the
name of Imogene Pamela from the lists
1f the matronly elite of Manhattan
I did not. Invitations rained on her
and found her unresponsive. Her
would-be hostesses would have gone
he length of submitting rostrums Of
proposed guests as though to royalty.
except for the fact that each and every
one of them wished to put her own
"earest and dearest to the test Of a
>1ddcn meeting with the most ex-
'lusive of New York's latest crop Of
buds.
Pamela refused and accepted these
lids for the latest thing In sensations
n the most erratic manner. No one
ould fathom just why she said, mo"
nd much less why she occasionally
said YES" The mystery only added
10 the demands for her company and
The Nays soon began to show an over
whelming preponderance over the
Ayes. Why? Simply because 1t was
not in the power of any of the host
csses to call up the moody girl and
say: "My dear, we are going to have
Just pork and beans for dinner tonight.
Won't you join us? Mr.. Robert Her
vey Randolph said he would drop in
for pOt-luck."
Yes; every time Pamela had accept
ed an invitation, it was In the rapidly
waning hope that Mr.. Randolph, be-
loved and once at the beck and call
Of these very people, would appear
and come into his own. Could she
have surmlsed that on two separate
occasions the knight Grant Of her
thoughts had actually seen her In her
most ravishing bibless evening tucker,
had driven her to two familiar doors,
taken her money with averted face
and without inspecting the "clock,"
and had passed on to some quiet stand
to dream over her new glory and read
the latest batch of ads crying for news
Of the whereabouts and welfare Of self
could she have known these appar-
emily insignificant items In the daily
life of the great city, she would have
wept her lovely eyes out twice over.
Such being her state of heart, i'm
agine her excitement when Mr.. Mil
yuns called by appointment and re-
tailed word for word the following con-
versatlon which he had participated in
that very morning with Miss Madge
Van Teller OF East Ninth street:
ooh, Mr.. Mllyuns, are you doing all
that advertising for Bobby Randolph"
"Yes, Madge; certainly am, and IL
1t doesn't bear fruit pretty soon I'll
have to give up tobacco"
"Are you advertising for his own
good? ] mean is 1t important to him
not TO you-for you to find him?
Would he be really and truly glad to
be found even against his VIM"
