"She chucked the dancin' teacher
out of a winder?" he repeated
blankly "What for?"

weather-beaten face Mrs. Ring ut
tered a faint bleat of terror. She
paved at him as he undertook to

"Oh, my heavens! What are you

The woman wrung her hands.
"What people! What-savages!

"But it's murder! You-you can't

"Do you think I'd stay, after this
It's bad enough to be made ridicu-
lous--the whole hotel Is in laughter;
laughter at me, l dare say, as much
as at her. Imagine! Hurting full
grown man from a window
Il don't hear nobody laughing"
BriskoN swung his head slowly from
side to side.
Going directly to the desk, he
asked for TIE manager, then stoo
aside, hat in hand. until the latter
made his appearance. The manager
began a hasty and rather mixed
apology on behalf of the hotel for
what had occurred in the dancing
room, but lis n of annoyance was
an accusation in itself.
"Very-unfortunate he lament

"Prob'ly so," the father agreed.

The manager recoiled; his startled
eyes searched Briskow's face in
.redulously. "I-beg pardon?"
Il 'ain't heard my kids side of
the story yet, but I'm goin' to see
her now, so you better get word to
that jumpin' jack in a hurry. That
is, if you want to save him."

"It'll take me prob'ly twenty min
utes, talkin' to my girl. That'll give
him time, If he moves fast. But
may get through in fifteen"
At the door to his suite Gus Bris-
kow paused to wipe his countenance
clean of the expression 1t had worn
for the last few minutes, and when
he entered it was with his usual
friendly smile. Allie and her mother
were waiting; they were white and
silent. Gus kissed his daughter be-
fore saying:
Don't, worry, honey; he won't
bother you no more"
Allie averted her face. Mrs. Bris-
kow inquired, did you see the
skunk?"

"Oh-hp In Mas eyes was such
bleak dismay, such a piteous appeal,
that Gus shook his head.

and your ma likes it here"
They're laughing at me. I heard

Allie related her experience with
Professor Delamater; she told 1t all
up to the burst of shouting that fol-
lowed her thorugh the lobby. "You
should of heard 'em yelling, clappine

voice failed her, miserably she con-
