LeVAY reueGeane % ; RS VN RAD ST R N By CHARLES EDMONDS WALK | | | | Author of “The Silver Blade,” ‘ Pt “The Paternoster Ruby,” etc. | I (Copyright 1912 by A. C. McClurg & Ca.) tion of detectives and police generally has been the haziest, but I believe I can trust you'—with stress upon the “you.” “I am going to, at any rate.” And then he recounted the episode of the veiled lady in the taxicab, the incident of the girl and the sandy- haired man in the crowd, and of his subsequent view of the former at a window in Number 1313. “My impulse toward reserve is so dificult to account for,” he said in oonclusionr, “that I had determined to keep the matter to myself.” “I am glad you didn’t,” was the low- voiced rejoinder. “Flint,” said Van Vechten earnestly, “do you believe that I am qualified to THE EVENING TRLEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA, DEC. 15, 1913. form a fairly accurate estimate of a | person’s character, from a study of that person’s features?” was the reply. “Your habits of life, your daily associations, naturally would develop a certain skill in that direction. I would attach considerable weight to your opinion in such a case.” “Then,” with much positiveness, “nothing in the world could be more absurd than to imagine the girl I saw being engaged in anything crimi- nal, or even entertaining a suspicion that she is surrounded by a criminal atmosphere. She is young, she is beautiful, she is refined and gentle; the stamp of purity and adherence to right ideals is unmistakable in her face. Whatever comes of your investk gations, you will find to be unquall- fledly true all that I now assert re- specting her.” . “I do not question your judgment, for it is more than probable that your estimate is correct. But the fact is of less importance than the circum- stance that the young lady seems to en- tertain a very cordial dislike for you.” “But,” expostulated the other, “she doesn’t know me, Flint. I never saw her in my life before yesterday. Why should she dislike me? God knows I never intentionally harmed anybody in my life.” “She unquestionably e P T WY TR thinks she duct is concerned, amounts to the same thing.” Van Vechten announced, “until I am utterly befogged. I have heretofore accredited myself with some slight de- gree of perspicacity, but her unmistak- able animus completely mystifies me. I am positive, Flint—absolutely posi- tive—that our destinies have never crossed before in any way.” “Queer enough,” was the other’s “You should be, Mr. Van Vechten,” | knows you—which, as far as her con- | “I have. racked my brain over it,” | | | comment. “But the veiled lady; are you certain she could not have been | Miss Carew?” { “Oh, no, she was not Paige. There ' was no detail of resemblance. I have' a fancy, based upon nothing, that she and the girl at the window are the same.” “But of whom did she remind you?”" The detective fastened him with a' shrewd regard. “That,” returned Van Vechten, “is the one point concerning which I feel that I ought to know something defi-| nite, but which persistently eludes ' me. In fact, the conviction never | crystallized.” | Mr. Flint fell into a brown study, | | from which the other had no inclina- tion to disturb him. During their con- versation the afternoon had passed, and now the detective sat motionless and silent while the dusk gathered and i deepened. . Presently he roused himself with a little shake. No one had intruded up- on their privacy; save for themselves the lounging-room was now He rose and went over to one of the windows, taking his hat with him. Van Vechten followed.

The two stood abstractedly contemplating it, E’afrh immersed in his own reflections, while the pall of night lowered, blurring and distorting the shabby outlines. Mr. Flint broke the silence. ! “ am glad we had this talk.” said | he in his quiet way. “But dear mi’.‘ dear me. what is it leading us to? T} trust we are not geing to atir up any mud.” He abruptly changed the sub- | iect, asking: ! “May I inquire whether you intend" making any move to locate Miss Ca-| rew?” “It was my intention to call upon! my uncle immediately, lay the case before him, and then set the cables to working.” “That's right. I was going to sug- gest something of the kind.” ! After Mr. Flint had gone, Van Veca- ten did net pause to dine. He ascer- tained by telephone that his uncle would be at home, then summoned & cab and sped through the stifling night—a night that augured storm— to Theodore Van Vechten's huge, dreary Fifth Avenue palace.
