TOBY drew back. But you're
Il mistaken" she said. you must
think I'm some one else"
I'm not mistaken" The mans
eyes cleaned dangerously. You're
my Dream Girl. I've been looking
everywhere for you and now that
I've found you, you're not going to
get away. We're going to be mar
ried. Now. This afternoon!"
Toby knew now where she had
seen him. 1t was the man who had
followed her that afternoon a few
weeks before. She had slipped into
a store and evaded him.
But she could not do that now.
AS though reading her thoughts, the
man caught her arm. Come onP'
he said. you're going with me-"
Toby tried to free her arm. This
was insane, nightmare! She was
on one of the busiest streets in New
York in the middle of the afternoon.
There must be dozens Of people
abcut-she looked to the right and
to the left. There had been dozens
of people about a moment before.
Now, suddenly, there was no one.
DUT you can't" she began.
- "Oh, yes, I can. Dream Girl,
love you. Don't you understand?
You're the one I've been searching
for. We're going to go away to-
gether."
A mailman, that was what he
was! And he might be dangerous.
He looked as though he would be
dangerous. Toby raised frightened
eyes, "Please!" she said. you're
hurting my arm"
She tried again to draw away,
but the man chuckled knowingly.
"Oh, mol" he leered. you're not
going to get away from me this
time. Come on we've got to
hurry"
He took step forward, pulling
at her arm roughly.

ton. She forgot everything except
q NO u
from this insane man. mol" she
cried. NO"
And then figure hurled itself
between her and the stranger. A
voice snapped, Take your hands
off that grill"
1t was Marty Hiatt! Toby had
no time to wonder where he had
come from. Marty was there, be-
side her. She cried, ooh, Marty,
make him go away! Make him

DUT the man with the cleaning
- eyes refused to move. Instead
he said to Hiatt menacingly, Look
out!" A hand moved toward his
pocket. Hiatt, quicker, shot a fist
toward the mans jaw. There was
a scream. the sound Of some one
running and suddenly Toby found
herself surrounded by people, star
ing at her curiously, talking excit-
edly.
A policeman pushed his way into
the crowd. "Here!" he said,
What's going on?"
Watch outl" Marty Hiatt said.
He may have gun"
The stranger, however, was sud-
denly docile. He rubbed his chin,
whimpering, as the policeman
searched his pockets.

Nov then, what's it all about?"
Toby felt hand on her Shout

glad you're here, Harriet"

Harriet said, but it took me this
to get to YOU" She slipped an arm
around the other girl What in
the world happened, Toby? Who is
that terrible persona"
IT DON'T know" Tears of re-
Il lief shone in Toby's eyes. She
tried to wipe them away. IT don't
know anything about him. except
that he must be crazy"
It was more than an hour af-
terward that the girls heard the
full story. They had been allowed
to go home in cab when Hiatt
and the stranger set off for the
police station with the officer.
Toby tried to tell Harriet what
had happened. IT looked for you,
she said, land you weren't in sight
Then stopped to look at the
store window"
They had some new square-toed
pumps at Vandepmeyer's." Harriet
explained. Il went in to try them
on, and then came out and ran
into Marty. And a good thing, too!
We both knew something was
wrong the minute we saw you. Saw

He certainly did. I don't think
was ever gladder to see any one
in my life than When I saw Marty"
He ran ahead of me. 1t looked
as though the fellow was trying
to make you go somewhere"
I guess he was. He kept call
ing me Dream Girl and saying
he'd been trying to find me. That's
how knew he was crazy. Hon
