He found it dif- ficult to qecipher the dancing lines; he read: have reached the feeling, | Cafeteria where she had gone to find | | good food, but no appetite. She opened tae paper eagerly to search the “Help Wanted” column, which had shrunk with the pinch of “hard times.” But street did need some one who could sew well and who would help with housework. Outside Carroll turned toward a fruit stall, the proprietor of which had stowed her bags beneath his counter when she | esked where she could have them checked. Could he tell her, please, Car- the certainty, Indeed, I think I may | ;% geq, where she could get a taxi- say, that I have responsibility for the child. The shock, I presume, has made this clear to m And some more purely personal vaporings followed that didn’t matter. “I have turned every energy intd wise search for her, as un- in harm to her from those who may be holding her. But as yet no least trace of her has been found.’ “Oh, God!” thought Michael, and it was not profane. He leoked at the date of the letter. It had been posted at the end of November. And now, with two days more, it would be Christ- mas. The 25th of December—how long had the letter been held? He studied the Paris cancellation that told him; tter had waited him more than y _telephone; there might be news. He “What are you goin Michael?” Joyce aske: hastened voice that tells of excite- ment. “Call Wetherall,” Michael answered, yubbing a hand across his wet brown, which was still cold, still frightfully cold. “Don’t you want me to do it for you,! dear?” Joyce esked. “No, I want to speak with him my- self, thank you,” he responded with ob- vious effort, and he was gone It took some little time to e Mal- colm and to drag him from bed; the roper spot for the night that was on th(‘ other side of the world. There was no news, Milcolm stated, after Micheel’s first query. Michael | then explained that his letters had been | held and that he would be aboard the first fast boat that would take him home. He next asked Malcolm, voice breaking, to do anything he dared to do, and that done, he hung up to turn back to Joyce. George Mocre had joined her and/| George had heard of it, Michael siw; hi plff\s‘m, round face had becen lon, ike, I'm awfully sorry about all sedd. \;’1 wants you to look up | Ji . said-Joyce, turning to George. She had not known she said ! and George knew she had not, and | George knew, too, what the unconscious use of it meant. For a moment in the center of a warm, pink cloud, he forgot Michael. Then he remembered Michael and he said, “I'll do anything on earth I can do for you, Mike!” and he meant it. George did that which he called “running eround” and “telephoning | around,” and this resulted in the news thet no fast boat would graze French shores for two days. Of course, Geor, amplified, Mike could take a tub, but that would keep him floundering on the sea three days after the first fast bost would land. George had a passion for cab? He pointed south on George | stre There were usually, he informed | her, some hanging ‘round there. | “Thank you,” said Carroll, “then I'll She crossed the square. A few mo- (ments later she came rolling up in a |taxicab that was as yellow as Cinder- ellas coach. The man wouldn't take | anything for storing her bags and he | himself stowed them in the front of | the cab. | The taxicab driver, half turning his head, s2id it was a real mean day under foot, but if he knew anything about the weather (and his manner made it | vious that he tholight he did) it w | clear and be rcal nice for a while. It | too early in the season for snow to hoeld. “You may wait, please,” said Carroll after the cab had conquered some blocks and had come to pause before a large, old house with an over-front-door fan | window, which would have been beauti- |ful had it not been depressed by the most hideous of coarse lace curtains. | Carroll touched the bell. | _After a considerable period of waiti the door was opened a suspicious nd let it be remembered how tl t of motions may chart all character.

Fifteen minutes later she opened the .. “You may bring In my bags,” she said to the driver. “You can set 'em in; you don't have to step in” said Miss Means, with enxious agitation. He set them in.

T understand!” “ They were awfully good to him, Joyce and George, Michael realized, but he | couldn’t siy anything about it because he feared that if he spoke about any- thing more mattering than the weathé: he would begin to sob. So he smiled fixedly and he stared with anguished eyes at things he did not see and Joyce ordered “whickay” for him regularly, ;;ui somehow he lived through the two vs. Toward the close of the second long day Joyce and George led Michael into the presence of the Paris official who married them the first time, as people | must be married in France by state and church. And with both ceremonies done, Michael said, “I'm glad—some one—is to be very happy.” He called Malcolm Wetherall each day, and regularly there was no news. | He also slept not at all, and he spent bis nights pacing a floor.
