 Anthony Fry. who is fond of mak- ing experiments in human nature takes q supposed young man by the name of David Prcntiss. whom Inc meets at a ringside seat at a boxing match. to his apartments and offers tho young man the chance to realize his lifelong ambition to become a civil engineer at his tFry's) expense.
 Something like one hundred years passed: then the hand slid from the door and they could hear Johnson Boiler leading the sufferer gently away from the shock of his whole lifetife. Mary. her eyes closed for a moment, gripped herself and spoke very softly:
 MT. Fry. if--if you don't get that boy out of here and then find a way of sending mo home-if -ou don't do 1t instantly, I'm going out there to Bob and tell him that you brought mo here and kept me here all night over happens-well. 1t just happens!"
 Life returned to Anthony's frozen legs.
 'I will go!" he managed to say, and he went.
 The brandy was already within Robert Vining. yet it seemed to have made small difference in his condi- ton. Mentally Fry. therefore. grew very firm and very stern. pleasantly certain that Robert was paying no heed to hlJ pallor or the uncontroll- able shake that had come to his hands. ~..
 "If tho girl has really disappeared. :" he said steadily. your part is not to be sitting here and whining for help. Robert. Why don't you get out and hustle and see If you can't get track of her. Have you gone to all her friends7"
 Robert vinlns. rising, shook him. self together.
 You're right" Anthony" he said. I'm an ass: I've lost my head com pietely this last hour. I--I caught 1t from her father. I think; the mans going about like an infuriated bull. swearing to kill everybody in the world if Mary isn't returned and but you're right. old chap. Thank you for steadyinE me"
 He tried to smile at them-and he fled. This timo it was Johnson Boiler who turned weak at his going. Mir. Boiler. smiling at his old friend in a sickly. Rreonish way. dropped into a chair and mopped his forehead.
 'T was never SO scared as that in all my IifeY" he said. The idea of seeing you shot down there, Cad! ] could picture the
 ''well7 What now7" Mary herself asked very crispiy. appearing in her disconcerting and silent fashion.
 Johnson Boiler smiled feebly.
 Have you settled 1t yet!' she snapped.
 "The-er-means of getting you out?"
 "Is there anything more impor- tant7"
 "Ah-decldedly not" Anthony said wearily. Several times I think. we've attempted a council of war. and we may as we'll try 1t again. There will be no interruptions this time. think and If we all put our minds to it.
 That was all. As on several other similar occasions. he halted because of sounds from the doorway. II seemed to Anthony. indeed. that Inc had heard Wilkins mpttering at the telephone a moment ago, too: and now the faithful one was at the dooi and working over the latch.
 That's woman's voice." Mary whispered.
 Ana she looked wildly about. and since there was no hope of escape un' seen by the corridor. her eyes fel upon the open door Of Johnson Bol iera room. Mary. with bound tha would have done credit to young deer. was across the room, and th' door clicked behind her just as VII kins appeared to announce:
 "A lady, sir. who"
 Then ths lady had passed him moving with n speed almost equal t' Mary's own--a lovely lady. indeed with great, flashing black eyes anC black hair--a lady all life and spirit her face suffused just now with g great joy The spell on Johnson Boiler broke and his soul found ven in one great. glad cry of;
 ''Bee!"
 "Pudgy- -wudgyl" cried the lady and flew directly into Johnson Boilers arms!
 And did 1t come back?" the inn beetle that had been Johnson Boiler Eurglcd.
 The dark exquisite head burrowed deep on Boilers shoulder.
 "oh. Pudgyi" n muffied voice pro- tested. almost tearfully. 'T couldn't do iti I thought could. but couldn't At some awful place north of Albany. couldn't go any farther and I--r was going to wire you to come for me. PudFyl And then -A@u<At I'd stay at their terrible hotel
