By now the floor had become so congested that skill was at a discount. Even the sallow youths with the marcelled bair were finding little scope to do enything but shuffle. This suited John’s in- dividual style. He, too, shuffled; and, pléying for safety, found that ne was getting along betier than he could have expected. His tension relaxed, and he became conversational. “Do_you often come to this place?” he asked, Testing his partner against the slim back of one of the mercelled- hair brigade who, like himself, had been held up in the traffic bl “T've never been here hefore.

At first, he had feared that he =nd she | could have little in common. sBut this remark told him that on certain sub- jects, at any rate, they saw eye to eye. He, too, had felt an idle wonder that somebody did not do something about these youths. The Buddies had stopped playing; spirit of confidence that had come to him, clapped loudly for an encore. But the Buddies were not responsive.

They | were sitting, instruments in hand, gaz- |ing in a spellbound manner at a square- jawed person in ill-fitting dress clothes, | who had appeared at the side of Mr. Baermann. And the next moment there shattered the stillness a sudden voice | ihat breathed Vine street in every syl- |1able. | “Ladies and gentlemen,” boomed the voice, proceeding, as nearly as John could ascertain, fram close to, the main entrance, “will you kindly take your seats?” | “Pinched!” breathed Miss Molloy in | his ear. “Couldn’t you have bet on t!" | Her diagnosis was plainly correct. In | response to the request, most of those on the floor had returned to their tables, moving with the, dull resignation of peo- | ple to whom this sort of thing has hap- pened before. Enjoying now a wider range of vision, John was able to see that the room had become magically filled with replicas of the sturdy figure standing beside Mr. Baermann. They | were moving about among the tables, | examining with an offensive interest the | bottles that stood therecon and jotting | down epigrams on the subject in little notebooks. Time fiies on swift wings in a haunt of pleasure like the Mustard Spoon, and it was evident that the man- agement, having forgotten to look at its watch, had committed the amiable error of serving alcoholic refreshments after prohibited hours. “I might have known,” said Miss Molloy querulously, “that something of the sort was bound to break loose in a dump like this.” John, like all dwellers in the country, as opposed to the wicked inhabitants of himself, he would have followed the crowd and made for his table, there to give his name and address in the sheep- ish undertone customary on these oc- casions. But he was not left to himself. A moment later it had become plain that the dashing exterior of Miss Molloy It is also the new gateway to Rain- e’s Ferry and Sou- L. thern Utah Parks . . .

They passed | through, and John, with a resourceful- ness of which he was surprised to find himself capable, turned the key in the lock. | “Smooth!” said Miss Molloy approv- | | ingly. “Nice work!

From the other side of the door there proceeded a confused shout- ing, and somebody twisted the handle with a good deal of petulance, but the law had apparently forgotten to bring its ax and nothing .further occurred. They made their way down a stuffy passage, came presently to a second door and, passing through this, found themselves in a backyard fragrant with the scent of old cabbage stalks and dish- water. Miss Molloy listened. John listened. They could hear nothing but a distant | squealing and tooting of horns, which, though it sounded like something out of the repertoire of the “Collegiate Bud- dies” was in reality the noise of the traffic in Regent street. “All quiet along the Potomac,” said Miss Molloy, with satisfaction. “Now,” she added briskly, “if youw'll just fetch one of those ash cans and put it along- side that wall and help me around that chimney and across that roof and down into the next yard and over another wall or two, I think everything will be more or less jake.” A little later John sat in the lobby of the Lincoln Hotel in Curzon street. A lifelime of activity and dizzy hustle had passed, but it had all been crammed into just under 20 minutes, and, after seeing his fair companion off in a taxi- cab, he had made his way to the Lin- coln to ascertain from a sleepy night Hopes Her Will Be Every Could Not is solely responsible for the recovery Continuing with her statement, of food made her sick. wouid help her, and I thought myself her on it.

For the past two years my daughter was in a terrible condition and every- thing we tried or did for her met with failure. trouble was all brought on by chronic constipation, also stomach trouble.

Only a few weeks ago she sald she just knew there was nothing that Herb Extract was praised so highly that I bought one bottle and started plain having those sick spells of pains in the pit of the stomach.

Pat was looking pale and proud, and Hugo's usually efferves- cent demeanor had become toned down to a sort of mellow sadness. He had the appearance of a man who has recently been properly ticked off by a woman for Taking Me to Places Like That. “Oh, hullo, John,” he murmured in a low, bedside voice. He brightened a little, as a man will who, after a bad{ quarter of an hour with an emotional girl, sees somebody who may possibly furnish an_alternative target for her wrath. “Where did you get to? Left! early to avoid the rush?” “It was this way . . . " began John, But Pat had turned to the desk and was asking the porter for her key. If & female martyr in the rougher days of the Roman empire had had occasion to ask for a key, she would have done it in just the voice Pat employed. It was not a loud voice, nor an angry one —just_the crushed, tortured voice of a girl who has lost her faith in the es- sential goodness of humanity. “You see . . .
