Officers were installed A. Rock. by Mrs, Clars | was e INSTALLMENT XL AY had been missing more than a week. The police of an entire nation, as well as the press, were exhausting every resource to solve the mystery. Up to now, every clue had proved false. But any hour the truth might become known. It was this that horrified June, brought her nerves to a point where she jumped when the telephone rang or a maid knocked on the door. That was the beginning of a great loneliness, which ended in one of the strangest set cf circumstances that a girl fresh from the country ever en- ccuntered. ~ When the dinner hour came the night after Bruce sailed, she experienced for the second time that appalling feeling that comes around this time to one alone in New York— any large city, in fact—between 6 and 7. The next evening was worse, and at the end of the third day, June was at the breaking point. The thought of eating alcne terrified her. She put on her hat and went to sit downstairs. She bought a paper in the lobby, then t down in one of the armchairs. Pretending to read, she was, in reality studying the people, many of whom were evidently in the same mood she was, It was men, for the most part, who sat there. She had no thought of making casual acquaintances. She was there because it was the- center of activity. She was trying to bring herself to the point where she would go up the few steps that led into the big, cold, main dining room. But she would rather go withcut food; it was tasteless, unsavored by companionship. ‘Then, the strange, rather weird, thing happened which was to lead to such singular changes in her life. A man with black, crinkly hair, light blue eyes and a tiny mustache sat in the chair next to hers. Curiously, she had watched him take a handkerchief from his pocket, and surreptitously behind the barricade of his paper, wipe his eyes. They were red and bloodshot. Also, he did not turn his opened paper, She noted his long hands, the sensitive fingers. ‘Then she gave a sudden gasp of horror. The paper was still held be- fore his face, with one hand. The other held a small vial, which he was placing to_his lips. Intuitively, she reached forward and her hand closed over the bottle. “Don’t!” she said. It all happened so suddenly, yet quietly, that the incident went un- noticed. But simultaneously ~with June’s reaching for the bottle a heavy hand was laid on the man's shoulder. “Don’t make a fuss” said a house detective. “Come back here to the ‘of- fice—I want to talk to you.” Clutch- ing the bottle, June followed, closing the door behind her. “Now, what's the idea tryin' to croak in the middle of a hotel lobby!" de- manded the officer, towering over the shaking figure of the man slumped in a leather armchair. His forehead beaded with perspiration, the bloodshot eyes were glazed with misery. “Don’'t be cruel,” June exclaimed. “He's unhappy.” “You'd better be after thankin’ the voung lady for savin' your life—if it’s worth savin" the detective said. “It isn't,” the man muttered, mop- ping his wet brow with a fine linen handkerchief. “Come now, what's the idea of sittin’ down in the middle of a lot of folks and takin® poison?” “The truth is.” the man blurted out, prodded by questioning, “I was too damned lonesome to stay by myself long enough to commit suicide.” “You can't get away with that, bud- How do you know he couldn't be that lonesome?” demanded June. lonesome myself—" The man stralghtened himself and looked at June for the first time. “Then you know.” he began dinner time comes——" _{“Yesv I 'do; but I wouldn't take my life . “Maybe you have hope . .. I've lost everything . . . “The depression, eh?” queried the officer, & little more kindly. a lot of good ones. of the hotel?” “Yes, I'm in 2640. My name is Hart." He stood up, eyeing June with the bottle in her hand. ‘The offcer reached for it. “Give it to me. Miss—he won't be needin' it |in this hotel. You better check out, | Hart.” “Let him alone,” June said. “I think you are making a mistake.

We do bother about people, and help them if we can.” ‘The officer looked from one to the other, perplexed. “Well, see that you don't’ go gettin’ fresh with the young lady,” he said severely. T won't, I promise you. I appreciate |the fact that she is giving me the memory of a great human kindness to take with me into the next world.” Hart squared his shoulders as he held open the door for June to pass out. “Thank you for your courtesy,” he said to the officer, ironically, and a mnote changed hands. “I won't dis- grace your hotel—at least, not tonight, if. you'll be good enough not to report the matter ” “That'll be all right, sir. I guess you've got your senses, now, Good luck to you, sir.” Downstairs in the quiet atmosphere of the English grill they found a cor- ner table. Not more than & dozen peo- ple were in the place. As he ordered the steaks June had recommended his hands visibly shook. She said nothing for a few minutes, giving him time to collect himself. “Don’t talk now—drink your bouillon first,” June urged. “You haven't been eating, have you?” “No. Not for days. Before that I was drunk for a week. But, drunk or sober, I never seem to forget . . .” “There are a lot worse things than losing your money.” “I know . . . that's why I am like this. It wasn't my money Ilost . . . It was my wife and child - “Oh!" June’s eyes were soft with pity. “I'm sorry . . .” “They didn't die. She divorced me.” He stared at the steak the waiter brought in. “I'd like to please you by eating that,” he said, “but honestly, it would choke me.” His eyes were swim- ming with tears. June probed her mind for some answer that would bring him out of his morose self-pity. “I know how you feel—my father died, and I thought I couldn't eat. But a friend persuaded me to try, and I was surprised to find that I actually enjoyed food again.” o mi twisted his face into haggard lines re- laxed. “You said something about being lonely.” he said over his coffee and cigarette, “so_you’ll understand what I My home is in the Are you a guest ‘weeks it’s pretty near unbearable. “Last Spring my trip was unusually and I was lone- prolonged u?pfiauw MEONE T 3 slowly, “when “It gets | L OVE e Connelly o die if I had to eat dinner alone . . .” | “I know just how you felt—I was that way tonight.” “Then go home, if you've got a home.

There's a first time for everyihing.” “Go on with your story.” He lit another cigarette and his hands shook even more than belore, she thought. . “This particular evening I started into the dining room and turned around and walked out again. I decided .I'd go out and walk around a little. Then | T met an old friend, a chap I went to |«ollege with, and I nearly wrung his hand off. He was equally glad to see me, for he had staged a party—speak- easy dinner, Harlem night club, and the rounds. A man had disappointed him at the last minute. He scarcely asked me it I'd join him, but rushed me uptown to his hotel apartment. “There were three girls and one other man there. A cocktail was shoved at me and the party was on. I don’t mind telling you I was glad. On the face of it there was nothing wrong and I thought several times during the eve- ning of amusing little incidents I must tell my wife. I meant to recount the whole story, in fact. for she knew I had these fits of homesickness and she would be pleased that I nad succeeded | in killing the blues for once. “The girl I drew was a reserved, quiet brunette—pretty and, best of all, in- telligent.

This fear never |left her. “Pardon me.” she said, and | broke the seal of the envelope with | | fingers almost as nervous as Hart's. | Relief was apparent in her little sigh. Jenks had telephoned to ask if she wished the car. She had told him she might go for a drive to avoid the lonely hours until bedtime, but she had not been sure. He had called in for orders. | “Let us go driving.” she proposed, im- | pulsively. _“I have the use of a car. | You can finish your story better with- | out all these waiters gaping at us, wish- | ing we'd go.” Hart paid the check. While he wait- | ed for his change June telephoned for the car, using the booth in the foyer of the grill.
