Tacks cut short an embarrassing interval. “Listen,” he said, “who was that young lady?” ‘The doorman appeared to see'no reason why he should pamper the curiosity of a street-brawler. “Who.” he demanded, with a trace of truculence, “wants to know?” Tacks started. From doormen, waiters, bartenders and such, he ‘was accustomed to a becoming ser- vility. He now forgot that he fooked like es ripe for the broom and dust- “Keep a civil Senge in. your head,” he warned the doorman, “or you might get into trouble.” This seemed to-amuse the vast Cerberus.
