"Sure, replied Jimmy, a little
uncertainty for Jimmy, Mary Della

see if you were booked up for the

Mr.. Chubb grunted agreeably.
"Come on and eat something,
Jimmy" Mrs. Chubb urged. 1--WE
haven't got much, but it'll help you
if you're hungry"
Jimmy declined gracefully, and
busted himself with Mr.. Chubh'S

The meal over, Mary Della dived
into her room and few minutes
later came out again in the pre-
cious green frock.
Don't keep her out too late,
Jimmy" Mrs. Chubb called after
them as they went out. "She's
losing a lot of sleep lately, and it's
telling on her"
"I'll have her back early enough y
Jimmy answered graphically, "if shs
doesn't ditch me for somebody else
at the dance"
Jimmy was little disappointed
that Mary Della didn't protest
against this suggestion, but he
guessed what was in her mind.
"You expecting Joe to meet you
Mary Della?"
II don't know, Jimmy He may
and he may not. But I'm going tc
tell you something. If Joe shows ur

asking you to do me a favor and
drop out of the picture for just this

Seems to me I've dropped out

He introduced the c. E. with
due formality and explained as rap
idly as possible what had brought
them to her.

Della" he finished, land all he
rants you to tell him is what took
place while I was taking a nap in
the road"
= Mary Della walked between them,
occasionally taking Roberts arm,
and frequently glancing up at his
face to see if he approved of what
she was saying. Robert listened as
intently as did the city editor. and
nodded his head slowly when Mary
Della's tone seemed to call for his
support.
At the corner of Cherry and East
Main streets they stood grouped
while the c. E. asked questions con-
corning certain points that seemed
to bother him most.
~You couldn't have been mistaken
about the color of the mask, could
you. Miss Chubb?" he asked.
Hardly" Mary Della replied. I'm
not color blind, and that mask was
bright red, blood red, if you know
what L mean"
rand you didn't notice how the
man was dressed. whether he had
on an overcoat or not, the kind of
hat ne was wearing"
There wasn't much time for a
study in styles, mister. He had an
overcoat on, all right. I'm sure of
that. But I'm not sure about the
hat. 1t was dark, you know, and
about all L could see right then was
that red mask. But ] can tell you
about how big he was, if that'll
help. He wasn't as tall as-as Mr..
Calkman here, but he was heavier,
and his face was a good deal fatter
and whittier. 1t was dead white"
,eWell, how about his car? Do you
remember anything about it?"
Not much. 1t was a touring car
of some sort and a long ways from
new, but didn't think about the
make of it. or any other details Tor
that matter. Mister, was scared
half to death, and I don't mean just

<:.sI don't blame you," the C. E.
laughed. You certainly deserve a
bit of credit for going back to Mr..
Calkman after the Red Mask had
left"

admiration was so genuine that
even the c. E. looked at him
Suspiciouly.

later, IF you would consent to a
