this cool November afternoon as Ber-

formal idleness at his downtown Of

were as rare as January strawber-

Lake Shore Drive. Approaching, the
turreted gray stone residence Of Hugh
Coswell, he recalled that Mrs. Cos
well was entertaining
Bertram loathed afternoon tea. He
was not the sort of chap one encount-
ers at stuffy functions Of the sort, sur
rounded by platoons Of chattering,
fashfonably gowned women; there was
none of that about young Doctor
Darand. Yet he turned and went In.
An obsequious footman In mulberry
livery took his things and another
ushered him toward Mrs. CoswelPs
enormous drawing room, done in ivory
and gold and hung with tapestries;
and at once Bertram became the CEN
ter Of an accusing circle. u.
"Bertram, where have you been
keeping yourself?" -
"fou can't tell me you're so fright

sMy dear, one must resort to tom
silitis at least to have any hope OF

Arista Coswell was known as a
smart hostess; today the yellow-paneled
music room and the spacious lounge
beyond were cluttered with tables of
the Chinese gambling game mah-jong,

What had happened to Kitty HEWITT
It had been amazing to him how
fear for her safety had, during the
past week, dominated his thoughts ;
the more amazing whenever he reck-
Oned the hours-not four, altogether
through which she had been an actual
factor In his life. Were he merely to
obliterate the memory Of half Of one
night. drop out one short flight Of
dawn, Kitty Hewitt-and whatever
might have happened to her-would
become nothing to him. Yet Bertram
Darand, NJ. D., could not have obliter-
ated that memory had he wanted to-;
and, decidedly, he did not want to.
That night, at the beginning Of those
marvellous hours, he had been in bed
at his somewhat shabby lodgings-an
ordinary, Insignificant, unsuccessful
young doctor.
Outside In the storm, at the door be-
low his window, had stood that girl
that strange girl who had breathlessly
summoned him: "Oh, hurry, please |!
Surgical bag, doctor!' She proved to
be young and fair and 1.-the and most
extraordinarily alive. Her name, she
said, was Hewitt.
One of the gang had been shot; a
young man he was, scarcely more than
a boy-and rather handsome. Ber-
tram recognized the pale face: Eddie
Pellen-"Eddie the Immune" newspa-
pers called him-notorious gangster,
and so serious was his wound that he
was likely to die: that was why the
sinister, pig-eyed man called Crane,
who watched over him, had sent
Hewitt-Kitty, Crane called her-in
such haste for surgeon. It was too
late now to correct her mistake in the
man she had brought, so Crane had
set Bertram Darand NJ. D., to work !;
and there, In the bedroom Of the fiat,
with the lovely Kitty Hewitt helping
him, he had executed the most skill
full operation of his life to save the
wounded gunman, Eddie the I'm
mune" And when the job was done,
Bertram knew that Crane meant to
take no chances with him: Crane
meant to make him perfectly "safe. /"
He had paid him generous fee, but
in the same moment posted men to
follow him from the fiat and "get" him.
Beyond bit Of a doubt they would
have finished him but for what Kitty
Hewitt did. For she, who had by mis-
take brought him into that place, also
got him out and away, scot free. Then
she had disappeared-to return to
them. But what was the price she
had to pay? How had the gang I'm
ished her for double-crossing them?
It tormented Bertram Darand when
ever he had thought about her; and
this torment formed habit of sur
prising him at sudden intervals
when he was consciously occupying his
mind with other matters After all, who
was Kitty Hewitt-and what was her
relation to those men? There was
nothing he could do In her behalf: Tor
her punishment-death or whatever
else the evil-looking Crane had de-
creed-must, several days ago, have
been wrought.
Oddly enough, Kitty Hewitt's pun
ishment visualized itself in startling
