THE RAG PRINCES | Copyright, 1925. by THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. €. MONDAY. MARCH 18, 1929. S' Wallace t Chicago Daily News { The seat was not in view from the far end of the walk: it was placed at of some kind her last remaining fears ; would have been removed, but among the mild and innocuous members of the public whom she saw in the lounge there seemed none who would be like- Iy to carry lethal weapons on thelr persons. “And I should probably shpot my- self!” she thought. The desircble taxicab driver took a ! whole lot of finding. Some sort of creeping paralysis appeared to ‘have overtaken the profession, and, standing under the portico of the hotel, she watched 50 decrepit old gentlemen crawl past, before a providential glant came her way and was beckoned eag- erly. I'm going to meet a man in the Outer Circle,” she said hurriedly. “I— driver, getting down and standing by the door. “There's nobody here.” “I expect they will come,” she said. She had hardly spoken before a long car came noiselessly into view and slowed a dozen yards behind the cab. She saw a bent figure step painfully to the sidewalk, and waited, her breath coming a little faster. “‘Audrey!” ‘There was no mistaking that volce. She went reluctantly a few paces and looked back at the taxi driver. “Will you come here, please?” she asked with an assumption of firmness. He walked slowly toward her, until she saw, above the white muffler around his neck, the big nose and the long chin she had so graphically de- scribed to Dick that morning. “Come here,” he sald impatiently. “Send your cabman away.” “He's staying,” she said loudly. “I can't remain long with you. You know that the police are looking for you?” “Send the cabman away,” he snapped again, and then: “You've got somebody in that cab! Curse you! I told you—" She saw the glitter of steel in hand and shrank back. “There’s nobody there—I swear there's nobody there! Only the taxi driver,” she said. “Come her: “Get. into my car.” She turned and slipped on the icy sidewalk, and in another second he had " he commanded. d her by both arms and was SiaPBing behind ner, man, and came threateningly toward | him. big driver halted. his | feet, and the driver stooped to recover | them.

She stopped dead, her - quate terms the emotion which | CRUSht her first glimpse. her experience had called into existence. Lying down on the| bed after Dick had gone—she was still| very tired and sleepy—she recalled, with | a rueful smile the ancient Mrs. Graffitt’s | warnings against London. What would | that old lady think of her, she wonder- ed. For she did not doubt that the story of her criminal career had lost * nothing by repetition. Possibly the farm | had already become notorfous as the | some time home of a shrewd and ingen- fous, indeed, romantic, lawbreaker. Per- haps they would put a tablet on the wall, she mused, half asleep: “Here lived for many years the notorious Au- drey Bedford—" She awoke from her doze with a start. Her door was ajar; she was certain she had closed it—equally certain that it had been pushed open by somebody out- side. Jumping up from the bed, she walked out into the corridor. There was nobody in sight; she must have been| en. m";’kt:ekn she saw on the floor at her feet a letter, and at the first view of the address her breath almost stopped. It was from Malpas! She tore open the envelope With trembling fingers. Inside was the un- tidy spread of scrawled lines, three ‘words to the line. X “Lacy and his satellite are dead. You will go the same way if you betray my confidence. Meet me without fail to- night at 9 o'clock at the entrance of St. Dunstan's, Outer Circle. If you tel} Shannon it will be the worse for him | and you.” sh{ read the letter again and the hand that held the paper trembled. St. Dunstan’s was a landmark in London, a home for blind soldiers, on the lone- liest part of the Outer Circle. Should she tell Dick? Her first impulse was to disregard the warning; her second thought was of his safety. Putt] the letter in her handbag, she w:xx\:g out to find the floor clerk. ‘That superior young lady had not seen any man, old or young, in the corridor, except, apparently, people who were well authenticated. Audrey was so used to mysteries now that this pew terror which had been 5] upon her was part of the nor- ;fimg Wr?oo was this mystery man, this gray shadow, that flitted unseen, com- ing and going at his will? As far as the hotel was concerned, his work was easy. There were two entrances, each leading to a different street (there were two stairways and elevators in both wings of the building), and it was, as she knew, a fairly simple mal ter to slip up and down without obse: vation. She read the letter again and liked it less. Onme thing she must not do and that was ignore the summons. She must either go to the appointment or else she must tell Dick and risk what followed. There were many reasons why Dick Shannon should not be taken into her confidence at the moment—he was seeking Malpas, and. though she could lead him direct to the man, she could as easily lead him to his death! ‘Throughout the day her troubled mind grappled with the problem, to which was' added a new discomfort. From the moment she left the hotel in the afternoon until her return she had the feeling that she was under observa- tion. was trailing her, her every movement. She small feet, motionless. “You're a fool, Audrey Bedford,” she said. - | The sound of her own voice drove | her forward to discover, sitting in the | place of doom, a nursemaid cuddling | a rosy cheeked baby! | The nurse looked up to view with in- terest a very pretty girl, who laughed aloud as she walked past. Annoyed, the nurse sought the mifrror in her/| handbag to see what the girl was laughing at. On the way back to the hotel Audrey curb. stopped to buy a weekly devoted to the | interests of the poultry keeper—a whimsical thought of hers, but a wise one, for in the well remembered jargon | of its pages, in the extravagant promise | of its advertisements, she found her | balance. | She hoped Dick would call that afternoon, but he was far too busy, nnd‘ in a way she was glad, because she could not have seen him without tell- ing him about her intended errand. | Nor did he appear at dinner, and she | retired to her room to map out her| plans. | First, she would leave all her money | behind with the receptionsclerk in the | hotel strong room: and, second, she would choose the strongest-looking taxi driver she could find, and she would not leave the taxi. That seemed n‘ very sensible and satisfactory plan. If she could only have borrowed a weapon No cigarette malker paid \ LOG CABIN She gave him directions and sank back in the seat with a sigh of relief that an unpleasant adventure was on the way to completion. It was a snowy, boisterous night, and the roads of the circle were black and white, the swaying trees alone refusing to hold the wet flakes that were fall- ing. The Outer Circle excelled itself in gloom; in five minutes’ driving she saw no human soul on its sidewalks. For an interminable time the cab continued on its way before it drew up to the “Here's St. Dunstan's, miss,” said the » e S——AM Tomorrow’s % Pancakes Millions of pancakes are tast- | ing better than ever—millions | of pancakes enriched with this matchless maple flavor.
