CHAPTER xxx1v
The Escape

1ne ESCAPE
EOR the third time in her life,
L where Gilroy Holmes was con-
cerned, Lila did a quick bolt.
The Ritz lobby was crowded, and
while Farquahar and Holmes were
shaking hands enthusiastically, Lila
put all the space possible between
them and herself.
She dived into the nearest dress
ing room and powdered her nose.
Her hands shook so that twice she
dropped her puff. The maid looked
at her curiously.
After while she opened the door
cautiously and peeped out. She had
an unobstructed view of the lobby.
Farquahar and Holmes were deep in
conversation. Had she but known
it Jack was saying:
What luck to run across you like
this-and at this particular time!
Lila is with me-" he turned around
and registered astonishment. Where
the deuce did she go to? She was
here a moment ago."
"I'll be jolly glad to see Lila
again" said Holmes. Funny I
never run across her. but then New
York'S a regular jungle. Once I
thought I saw her in shop and
started to speak, but it was the
wrong girl. Darned awkward"
She'll be along in a minute" said
Farquahar. Lets wait here. We've
lot to talk about, old chap"
They seated themselves, and Lila
watched them from her doorway.
The minutes passed. She was be-
coming desperate. Somehow. she
had to get away without coming
face to face with Holmes. If he
saw her he would know that she
was the girl who had deliberately
run away from him in Vanderpool's
shop.
And there was the dangerous pos
sibility that, sooner or later, he
would learn that she was Mrs. Her
bert Ware. What would happen
then? She closed here eyes and re-
fused to contemplate the situation.
But no use precipitatiing matters.
Much better to avoid all meetings,
in either character, whether as Jack
Farquahar's betrothed, or the wife
of Holmes employer.

A FTER awhile, when the two
! a men showed no signs of leav-
ing, she slipped out of the dressing
room and, Fastening down a. cor
ridor in the opposite direction, made
her way to the street through side
entrance.
But how to explain to Jack her
abrupt disappearance?

fastened to Dorothy and poured out
her story.

"Splendid!" dubbed Lila, with
false enthusiasm, hoping devoutly
that he would go away quickly.
To her infinite relief, he went,
