He made a late visit to his law of- fice, and tried to settle down to a routine of business which should have been ¢ atched earlier in the The tasks kept him busy until night. In fact, it was ten o'clock be- fore he left the office free 1o seck the r«=t in his apariments, As he entered hbis sitting room the boedy back of Lim, and there was a half-suppressed femi followed by a erash as of broken china, In confused apology he turned and bel«ld the most beautiful girl he had «vor seen. With womanly tact, she tried to relieve his emba sment and I her own dismay. The package | w i he had knocked from her hand | | Le n«mll» picked up, and as he es- corted her to the sidewalk he tould feel the pieces of broken china in | their wrappings. “Pray forgive me,” he exclaimed, “I | am more sorry than I can say. I'll| take this article with me and have It. replaced.” | A look almost of fright came into | the young woman's face, and in anx- ious tones she said: “Oh, no! You must not think of it! I can’t let you have this."” She reached out her hand for the ill-fated package. Ralph was surprised at her agita- tion. But he was also impressed by the remarkable sweetness of her voice. “I'll be ashamed if you will not al- low me to undo this mischief. It good of you to belittle my awkward- ness, but I've got to do something for my own self-respect.” There was such sincerity in his tones that she could not in kindness disregard them as he continued: “I am Ralph Woodson. May I not have your address, and send you a duplicate of this article?” Again she displayed a feeling of real embarrassment. “Please give it to me,” she insisted, and held out her hand for the pack- age. He could not resist the pleading in her eyes, and reluctantly gave fit to her. With the article once more in her grasp, she was her graceful self | again. Evidently wishing to relieve young Woodson's uneasiness, she sald after a moment's hesitation: “I am Miss Darragh. I llve at No. 33 Baltimore avenue, If it will make you more comfortable, you may send me a plece of braca-brac. Only, I must tell you, my tastes are very simple.” Ralph wanted to prolong the inter- view, but there seemed no further excuse for ft. They moved away in opposite direc- tions. He, following his habit of prompt action, went to a noted bric-a- brac establishmwent. The proprietor was friendly and loquacious, for the young man had been a good customer on one or two occasions. Ralph ex- plained something of the plight he was in, and Mr. Grimm smiled knowingly. He suspected that the purchase would be directed more or less by the heart, and not by the pocketbook. He brought out a little vase which he carried with more than ordinary care. “This,” he explained, “is a piece of | Renuine old Vienna ware. It is one | of a very handsome pair of vases. The mate to this plece disappeared from our display window yesterday. We've got detectives all over the city on| nine ery, elow from an open fireplace rendered it warm and inviting. He threw him- oI in o big armchair and yielded un- resistingly 1o a sweep of new €mo- tions which the day had brought him. Atier a while he drew the evening pa- his pocket and began to § sly. Suddenly his eye was I m(l by a suggestive headline: “Theft at the Jenks Store. I'ri -a-Brace Stolen. Suspect. Reward.” The article contained little more information than the headlines. He I had se arcely finished reading it when the telephone in his room rang | sharply. “Hello,” | the wire. *“Is Mr. Ralph there?” “This fs Miss Darragh. you come to my house right away? regret troubling you so late in the evening, but it is imperative.” Ralph, surprised and a little excited, was ready and on his way to answer the summons in a very few minutes. Miss Darragh was in the ball when he arrived. “Mr. Woodson,” she began, “I am in you. I have had a very unhappy you for help. The vase that in my hand when we met this morn- store. You may have read an item regarding it in the paper. of mine. At least I have been trying struggle against her environment. She loves beautiful things, and she was truined from her babyhood to steal, hut it {8 so long now since her last ofiense that I thought she was cured. It certainly is discouraging to have her go back to her old ways again. She is heart-broken about It herself, and I am trying once more to protect her and help her toward a futuge. A detective who has come to my assist- ance on other occaslons was going to return the stolen vase for me today and conceal the facts. I was taking it to him when I met you this morn- ing.” Here Ralph interrupted: “And my awkwardness spoiled all your plans. I am sorrier than ever. But can’t we—?" “It couldn’'t be helped,” she inter- rupted. “I'm afraid, though, that I'll have to let the vase which you gave me be returned in lieu of the stolen one. The detective thinks it's wise, for suspicion is beginning to close in on my little friend. Will you forgive me if I do this?" “Forgive you, Miss Darragh?” he exclaimed. *“1 was going to suggest it. This is the first happy moment I have had today. After the mess I made of things this morning, 1 am the luckiest fellow in the world to have bluundered upon a way to help you.” She held out her hand to him in gratitude, As he took it in his grasp, the look in his eyes brought the quick blood to her cheeks. the lookout for it.” Ralph liked the vase, and bought it, t He had made up his mind to 'hl" ‘puhummh»n of delivering ft in per- | son. Accordingly, he left his law of- | fice ecarly in the afternoon, and was ted in the Darragh drawing- | room awaiting, with a shade of anxi- | ety, Miss Darragh's entrance. He was } ‘mrm-inus in a peneral way of the! i quiet elegance of his surroundings, ' but all Lis active mind was occupied with the mere pleasure of being there, { the pleasure of meeting again the | | woman whose personality had domi- | nated the whole day for them. The soft rustle of skirts announced her coming, and Ralph rose to meet her. She was more charming than he had thought. before seemed to him so gracious and lovable. In acoepting the package from his hand, she revealed a happy anticipa- tion as to the contents. He watched her admiringly while she unwrapped | ! | ®oon s she must find his gift faultless. She lifted the lid with playful eagerness, but at sight of the vase within, start- | ed back in dismay. A low cry escaped | her lips, and she hastily laid the box on a table near by lest the vase fall | from her trembling fingers. Ralph, disappointed and hurt, led her to a chair. Miss Darragh looked up at him trembdlingly, and her eyes pleaded forgiveness. “l am very sorry, Mr. Woodson. You will think me nervous and queer, I know. But I was startled. Il show you why.” She opened a drawer of the table and took from it the little package with which Ralph was already famil- far. He opened it at her bidding, and there, in pleces, lay the exact counter part of his Vienna vase. In a flash he recalled Mr. Grimm's tale of the theft. It was Ralph's turn to feel dismay. “Could this beautiful girl be—?" He murdered the suspicion before it was born. Turning to her, he tried to laugh at the coincidence, and murmured some- thing about his lucky selection. Miss Darragh, having recovered her composure, explained to him that the broken vase had possessed a par- ticular gignificance for her, that the sight of another like it had naturally taken her by surprise.
