He beheld a stalwart, well set-up young man in a shabby suit, approaching on the opposite walk. He scrutinized him intently. Excepting that it was so nicely timed, there was nothing dramatioc about the man’s advent. Tom even in- dulged in a disdainful “Huh!”—not- withstanding which he was sensible of @ distinct thrill when, a few seconds later, the young man mounted the steps of Number 1313, rang the bell, and after the now familiar preliminary measures on the part of the unseen door-tender, was admitted. And all the while the clock in the club hall was chiming the hour of noon. PHONE 340 § FLORIDA IS OBOS IO e S CHAPTER IIl.

Van Vechten waved in the direction of Number 1318, “Alexander,” he said, “we are going to breakfast, and we want you to hold these two chairs for us. Keep an eye upon that house across the way—thir- teen-thirteen. Observe whether any- body departs, or whether anybody ar- rives, and make careful note of them. It anything unueual happens, come to me immediately in the grill. Under- stand?” Alexander signified that he under- stood, and that he was willing to wait and watch—for even the club’s ser- vants shared the general interest in the House of Mystery—and Alexander } | was already seated in one of the va- cated chairs, his eyes glued to the doorway opposite. = ¢ e Paper Shell Pecans, pound, - 25 cents Imported Figs, pound, - - 25 cents Dates, Raisins, Currants, Citron W.P.PILLANS&CO.

The other two diners looked up, startlad; but percelving the source of the outburst, they returned to their meals with expressions of pa- tient endurance. ' “Yes, anarchists,” agreed; “even 80. And you would have a nice, pleasant time getting in —or, once in, getting out again.” “Oh, well, we might try breaking in after dark—jimmy, you know, and all that eort of thing,” a sarcasm which was frankly ignored, “It has occurred to me,” Van Vechten, picking daintily at his omelette Souffle, “that a person who has been at such pains to keep his identity hidden from the rest of the world, is stimulated to do so by some i There were only two other diners in [ i : the grill, Van Vechten and Tom sought : ‘ P a secluded corner, where the latter § P ——————————————— listened in blinking bewilderment to 'Che!
