That is exactly where | did leave it—in that cubby hole place above the wardrobe in papa’s room! 1 remember putting it there so that it 'would be out of the way. I go to masquerades 80 seldom that I had forgotten all about my lovely costume, If 1-hurry 1 can get the next! train to town ard get it!” “Buf, my dear, the apartment has no doubt been rented by this time— furnished apartments don’t remain embty long.” “We have only been out of it a week. Anyway—I can only try and it is too late to make another cos- tume for the dance.” ' Cynthia was up and flying about the house for hat, coat and mileage before her mother could ‘remonstrate further, “I will be back as soon as the Long Island traing can take me to town and back!™ ghe cried as she kissed her mother. Arriving in ' New York, Cynthia |y made her way to the apartment that her parents bad occupied for the past three months. The hall boy was nowhere to be seen and Cynthia went up the stairs feeling very much at home. The apartment was the only one on the top floor. . Had she thought, before making the ascent, Cynthia would have asked the janitor if ‘the apart- | ment were rented, hut now. that she was at the top she could find out for herself, / 3 The name-plate bore the name *Col- brook.’ ' Cynthia stood still a moment to collect her nerves. It was rather a hard task, now that she was on the threshold, but she simply must have _her masquerade icostume if it was in that apartment to have. ¢ ‘Cynthia rang the bell! She rang a second time—and a third. - No one answered. Cynthia drooped. She didn’t want to. go down those { Furiously angry Cynthia struggled t to free herself, but Colbrogk ' only beld Yer, struggling against Bis side.

Cynthia struggled .for calm and a moment later looked deflantly into Jim Colbreok’s eyes. She felt that she. was: beautiftl to the eyes looking | back at her and if gave her courage to be herself—fearle's and confident. | “I realize fully that I had “mot ‘the slightest right in the world to. emter this apartment but—" She besitated and the color again flamed into her face. Colbrook was gazing 'steadily at her and something in his face told her that he was even then condemn. ing himself, - “I—or rather’ my family, oceupled this apartment—just before you did and in the hurry of moving I left a costume of mine in that wardrobe at the end of the hall” A smile crept into Cynthia’s eyés when she remem- bered herself hanging to the daor. Colbrook smiled, but very grimly. “It as a masquerade costume -and I needed it for 'a dance tonight—there was no one in the apartment and as I bhave my key—" s “Don’t say any more.” Colbrook had raised a hand. “I already feel that I owe you an apology, but I must ask you to hurry now. This is a bachelor apartment—the rest of the tellows will be home any minute. "We are all going out to the country to- day. If they found you here there would be the detice—" Colbrook led the way down ‘the hall. Cynthia had jumped hurriedly to her feet. 4 “I must have my costume!” git§ cried hurriedly, “‘but do get me out of here before—" The door slam&ed in the hall be- low and a great noise of whistling arose. Colbrook jerked a suit case from the wardrobe, jammed thie pink costume in and with scant cer&quy | hurried Cynthia out.
