twice, and his words, however inno-
cent they may have sounded, must
have brought warning to the man.
Beyond doubt he had questioned me
with the distinct purpose of thus dis
covering why l had drifted into the
place. l dismissed utterly his state
ment that the young woman was his
niece-her very appearance gave that
the lie.
Something was wrong, perhaps not
criminal, perhaps in no way associated
with the affair which had brought me
into that neighborhood, and yet sus-
piciously wrong, and felt inexorably
driven to find out what 1t all meant.

The side door opened silently, and
man stepped briskly inside, shaking
the raindrops from his coat as he
greeted the barman cheerily.
"A dirty night, JAMS" he said, glanc-
ing swiftly about, his eyes sweeping
over me sharply. Business not very
good, l suppOse"
Dead. It's no good now any more,
with all the factories closing up be-

thickset fellow with a turned-up mus
tache and a disfiguring scar on one
cheek, which gave to his eye peculiar
expression. Watching the fellow 1
must have missed some signal, for he
whirled about suddenly and confront
ed the girl, who had already risen to
her feet and stood expectantly, one
hand yet resting on the table.
"Ah, senorita! You were waiting
for me to come" he exclaimed. "Yet
have not kept you long"
"Oh, no." she answered quietly in
Spanish, her voice so low the words

"A car blockade at the wharf. No,
thank you, JAMS, nothing tonight. You
would go, senorita?"
"There can be nothing to remain
longer here for, surely"
l watched them disappear through
the side door, marking his grasp on
her arm and her quick glance aside
into his face. There had been some
thing wrong about this meeting, some
thing undeniably awkward and con-
strained. These two were not what
they pretended to be-old-time friends
meeting incidentally to walk home to-
gether. They were strangers, coming
together there for the first time by
appointment. Neither had previously
known the other. had even detected
fear, doubt, in the expression of the
girls face.
Yet 1 dare not move, or attempt to
follow them. l could only sit quietly,
my eyes on the window fronting the
street. l watched intently, but no
shadows passed that way-the two had
not turned down Cans street.
My mind worked rapidly as l sat
there motionless, afraid to make the
slightest move lest it arouse suspicion.

straight across the street, as though

then, in the shade of darkness, re-
traced my steps, passing the corner,

some conception of my surroundings.
Across from where l stood appeared
the dim outlines of long, ramShackle
building, apparently a shed of some
kind, while beyond the saloon was a
row of one-story dwelling houses,
seemingly exactly alike, and exhibit
J ing no evidence of being occupied.
In which direction had the couple
turned after their exit through the
side door of the saloon-to right, or
left?
JAMS had unconsciously pointed in
this direction when he told of where
the girl lived, and, although that was
. doubtless a lie intended to deceive, 1t
was no more than natural for him to
have thoughtlessly designated the
proper point of the compass.
advanced cautiously, finding the
narrow sidewalk one of boards, in very
bad condition. 1t was only when at
tanned the end of this row of houses,
and came to the entrance of narrow,
dark alley, that found the slightest
proof that l was, by good fortune,
upon the right trail. 1t was above this
opening that the incandescent bulb
tiickered dimly, yet, in spite of wind
and rain, gave me glimpse Of the mud
underfOot. The two must have been
the only ones passing that way since
the driZZle began, for their footprints
were yet visible in the soft mud Of the
crossing as they advanced beyond the
safety of the board walk. By bending
low, and keeping my own shadow out
Of the way, I was able to trace their
progress for two or three yards quite
easily, and then, to my surprise, the
footprints turned abruptly to the left,
and disappeared entirely.
To all appearances the two had pro-
ceeded down the alley. Black, unin-
viting, as that gloomy passage ap-
peared they must have turned into 1t
and groped their way forward. Where?
For what purpose? l could think Of
but one object-the Alva iron factory,
the mysterious meeting place at S76
Cans street. Beyond all question this
alley would skirt along the back of
that building, and there would be an
entrance at the rear.

What S w hat
BY HELEN DEcIE

A young woman does not gain
credit for superior knowledge when
sh. corrects her mother in the pres
ence of others; on the contrary, the
general verdict must be, How gross
ly ignorant she is!' For it is far
worse to be ignorant of flial duty
than ignorant of grammar; it is more
vulgar to be unmannerly than to be
questionable.
Education through textbooks and
through fashionbooks is common
property nowadays. but good breed
ing still remains the distinguishing
mark OF superiority. And good
breeding never attempts to exalt it
self by humiliating another. TO do
that would be TO play Hunpty-
Dumpty with its high tradition, to
have tho great fall" from which
Humpty- Dumpty could rise never
more. Consideration for others is the
foundation of courtesy - courtesy
which has been defined SO admirably
as "benevolence in small things. II
politeness were merely surface
polish it would have worn itself away
long before our time.
