The appearance and-mien of-Mr. Harkness-were of the light- est. A flower flowered in his but- tonhole and a song trembled on his lips. Ln fact, Sipuet Mr, 7 ik Ress: was not‘aware of'it, his de- meanor was “comparable to that of a lamb frisking on the fringes of-a wolf-haunted forest. The reason such a comparison is tenable was the presence of an unobtrusive sedan. parked across the street from Miss South’s apart- ment ‘house. Occupying the front seat of this vehicle were two gen- tlemen who had‘ been watching the Progress of Mr. Harkness'with con- Waerable intefest. As he’ disap- red ‘into ‘the house the man ehind the wheel, a short,'power- fully-built individual, spat pro- feéssionally out ‘of the window of the car, ‘took’ off his gray. felt hat and fanned himself with it. “Wul, dere he goes,” observed Mr. Ape, Coletti. “Wot’s guv’nor?” In the seat beside him Chiseler Jennings made a gesture of an- noyance. u_ have your orders, Coletti,” he said testily. “Wait till they come out. Then follow that car. And meanwhile, rent oblige mé ‘by keeping silent. I want to think.” “‘Sposin’ { lose it?” inquired Mr. Coletti, in no humor to oblige. “Lose what?” said the Chiseler vaguely. “Why, de car,” explained Mr. Coletti, surprised at having to form the ABCs. “Dat hotsy-totsy next. oy-wagon over dere at de coib. eat he Chiseler flung an irritated, arm heavenward— “Why is it,” he moaned, “that | have to undertake a mission like this accompanied by'a splay-footed Wop with a head full of saw-dust? You're a fool, Coletti. Now stop supposing and shut up.’ As for the car, don’t lose it.” At ove pee the figures of Miss Dorothy South and Mr. Van Hark- ness-appeared in the lighted en- trance. of..the apartment. house. The -Chiseler’s left hand gripped. Goletti’s knee hard. In’ silence. they gazed acros the street. So“far as could be seen over, the width of the thoroughfare, Miss South was garbed with a view to participation in gala proceed- ings. A black evening gown of the clinging variety enveloped her svelte figure. The upper portion of this garment was concealed by a white coat of operatic aspect. Miss South’ clutched its folds about her as climbed daintily into. the Isotta,.Her mood, too, appeared to. be in keeping with the gala. A trill of silvery laughter reached the ears of Coletti and the Chisel- er. Then Harkness was up beside her-and the Isotta glided af in-the lon of the East River. e Chiseler nodded approv- art girl, Dorothy,” he “A consumate actress.
