spent almost the whole check"
1.-The whole check"" exclaimed
Eileen. why, you haven't touched it.
That's the beauty Of charge accounts.
You can keep your checks to look at.
I've got some that father gave me
three years ago"
Pamela smiled a smile Of much wis
dom and made for the nearest exit. As
a matter Of polite formality. when they
reached ~Fifty-ninth street, she asked
Eileen TO come up for lunch from the
bachelors buffet in the basement. and
she could not help q slight feeling of
relief at the news hat Miss Milyuns
had promised herself elsewhere.
But I'll break away and come for
tea at five, if you'll let me-" said Eli
leen. Il simply must help you try
them all on"
"All right do" said Pamela, inward
ly pleased that she would have some
one beside TomlinsOn upon whom TO

metamorphosiS.
The first thing she did when she
reached the apartment was to ask If
Mr.. Randolph had called; the next was
To summon the office Of MilyunS,
Branch & Milyuns on the telephone to
know what steps had been taken in the
new search. She was somewhat sur
priSed to learn that the entire firm had
gone out to lunch in Il body. and still
more startled at the information, OBJ
tanned three hours later from the same
superciliOuS voice at the other end of
the wire. to the effect that none of them
had come back. She was young she
believed II.
There is no doubt that IN five min
utes more Mr.. Gloom would have as
sumed full sway in the late apartment
of Mr.. Robert II. Randolph had not a
long procession OF parcels begun TO ar
rive in the nick OF time. TOnlinSon
brought them into the bedroom, one,
two. three ut a haul, and Pamela her
self cut the knots with Mr.. Randolph's
best nail-scissors aEd laid out the
goods. filluy toid upOn tilmy fold.
By the time Eileen turned ~ the
apartment looked like the staterOcfl

turning from Paris with nothing 10
wear and preparing 10 swear TO il be-

As soon as sufficient space HAD been
cleared for action. the two girls set 10
work. and were soon involved in such
IN orgy of trying ON" as only the
heaIthieSt stamina Of youth could
have endured without falling over in a
dead faint from exhaustion. Even
Eileen Invested her person of every
thing but. and experimental with such
dear garments as il seemed impossible
Miss Thornton could get round to in
the allotted time.
Having tried to show the public how
charming was Pamela in and without
her cheap clothes, no p%uerile and gasp
ing effort will be made in these pages
TO measure the effect upon her of the |
latest creations Of the raiment dream
gods of Fifth avenue. Suffice it to say
that, in one hours twinkling of the
eye. she became such a radiant vision
as chOkeS mere words down into the
pit Of a mans stomach. makes his jaw
work like that Of Il fish on a hot side
walk, fills his eyes with the pleading
light of calf-love and inspires his
hands with an overmastering desire to
reach for it.
For two. four. six days, q week, two
weeks. Pamela lived in breathleSS an
tfcipatiOn Of the moment when she
could burst upon the eyeSight of one
Robert Hervey Randolph. and when all
these dayS-and weekS-paSSed with
out any news Of him, her lips that
were made to smile, to kiss. and to
bless the air with words softly spoken
and carried on the fragrance of clean
young breath began to drOOp pitifuily.
Mr.. MilyunS' efforts in several direc-
lions had so far proved in vain. He
had advertised in every paper in Goth
am. from the New York Epoch to the
pink Police Gazette; he had offered
rewards; he had set traps and was
supporting q large corps of rap
fattening individuals who called
themselves ''plain-clothes" men-a
that would have fitted them adj
mirably had the last syllable been omit
His net results were the infOr-
that Mr.. Randolph. in a repre-
henSible state of intOXicatiOn and at
sever o'clock of the morning of which
he had disappeared, had exchanged his
swell evening garments ut a second
hand emporium on Sixth avenue fer q
suit of thicks and eighteen dollars in
cash, stating, as he left the place. that
he was thinking OF going South for the
rest of the winter.
