Puzzled, he descended the steps. “If he was there,” he came back to dismiss the occurrences lightly, for he believed he knew the explanation of it, “he's taken himself off in a hurry. But if you're nervous—" She laughed, not quite easily. “I'm not,” she assured him. “Only —only please don't leave the lighted streets for some dark shortcut on your ‘way back, will you, Jimmy? And don’t think that I'm womanishly ab- surd.” He promised, and promptly forgot all about it in a recollection of the glowing face with which she had read Hardy's letter. And then, with the alley which ran past the Palace theater to the door of Hanlon’s hotel yawning black be- fore him,.curiously enough he re- membered her warning and his prom- ‘ise, and smiled over it gravely. His heels rang measuredly upon the alley pavement. He had forgotten again the blotch of shadow upon the lawn, and the man who ran. And then there was a stir, soundless and ‘sibilant, close behind him. Behind him a yellow flame lanced the darkness. In the narrow con- fines of the alley a gun roared deaf- eningly. Mechanically apd unheroical- 1y Jimmy stooped in his stride to pick up his hat. He heard the second ball thud into the door above him, waist-high, had he been erect. And then the door was open, and, with the flood of light that dazzled his eyes, Hanlon came out like an avalanche. His mad rush swept Jim- my aside like a bit of chaff. Like an avalanche, he went roaring down the alley. . CHAPTER V. Something More Than Stage-Play. After he had picked himself up, Jimmy Gordon stood for a few mo- ments motionless before the hotel en- trance, gazing from the hole in his hat to the one waist-high in the heavy door of Hanlon's with an emo- tlon so peculiarly complex that he was entirely unaware of the little knot of people which began instantly to collect about him. In truth, so unobtrusive were they that Hanlon had come stumping back up the alley and jostled roughly ‘through to his side before Jimmy vealized that he was no longer alone wupon the scere. Hanlon locked one .arm through his elbow and led him ‘inside the hotel. There was a fresh scar on the in- ner surface of the door below the llet-hole; a long and jagged splin- lay on the “office” floor, torn loose by that bullet; and beyond, at the iopposite side of the room, fragments lot plaster from the wall f Jimmy stood staring at this minor rdamage, unimpeachable confirmation {of the entirely serious and business- {like intent of the one in whose hand the gun had roared. Humorously 'aghast when he lifted his eyes, Nimmy's expression became sheepish {as he perceived the flerce anxiety in iHanlon's regard. “See here, Pegleg.” he expostulated, ‘surprised to find that his voice was note quite steady. “Why, man, you .don’t mean that you think those bul- Jets were really intended for me!"™ “For whom, thin?" demanded Han- !Jon. { Jimmy blinked at the rabruptness. “I—I'm sure I don’t know,” he faltered. “I thought, perhaps, some of your precious patrons had devel- -oped a mutual distaste for each oth- er.” “Ye'll do better sittin® down,”” Han- Ton said, “till ye're steadier in the knees. 'Twas a dir-rty shot, sweetly placed—the first wan was hurried He turned to the white-aproned wait- er, who had begun to move toward the door. “Ye'll bide a bit.” he ordered; and then as shortly to Jimmy: “Now, unless ye feel too little like talkin'—"" After a moment’'s thought, Jimmy ‘began farther back, with a report of T. Elihu’s second visit to the Courier office, and an almost facetious ex- planation of the business which had brought him there Without comment, Hanlon waited until the younger man made mention of the man in the shadow on Carol Landis’ lawn—the man who ran—and the girl's admonishment to avoid the byways and stick to the highways which wera well lighted: but there .he gave voice to a savagely exultant exclamation, and wheeled toward the laconic waiter asked softly, “and try to con- vince him of the error of his ways?” “Till T give the worrud, ve livid- lipped mongoose,” Hanlon answered, “t111 T give ve the worrud. ve'll keep yere fingers from his throat. Ye'll find him first, and yhen ye do ye'll report back here to me. I'm cager like for a worrud in the gintleman's ‘ar meself.” And Jimmy, still unable to speak, sat and watched the waiter lay aside his white apron and turn toward the door. Hanlon leaned forward to put a hand upon the young man'’s knee. “Jimmy, lad,” he said, ‘“ye've been home but a little time, reckoned in days. More in hours and more than hat in minutes, an’ I've known many 4+ man, through inattention to detail and lack av observation, to achieve a pernature eternity in the fraction av a second, 'tis true. I should have guessed it at thz first second I saw ve, vet ye fooled me, what with yer blinkin’ lids and lazy grin. I thought to welcome ye back tired av the husks, and mebby with the taste av ‘ailure grown bitter in yere belly. An’ nstead, 'twas good fortune ye'd found e were certain to do that—and shame to me perspicacity. But ye'll talk now, an' I'll listen.” A gust of confusion flushed Jimmy's hin face. Guiltier than ever, and more than ever self-conscious, he sat trying to meet Hanlon's level regard. And then, without defense or com- ment, in a halting fashion that matched the quizzical look that had ‘ome back into his eyes, he ‘“talked” 1s Hanlon bade him. At times the huge and grizzled “gure opposite him nodded his head inderstandingly, while Jimmy spoke with transparent jauntiness of longed periods when even 2ad been extremely acceptable. Often- >r he listened with downcast eyes and bushy eyebrows drawn together in a beetling frown, so that the speaker saw little of the glow which a mention of “As Ye Sow” and “Un- less Ye Believe* kindled in his eyes —two metropolitan successes credited to the pen of one Gordon James, a nlaywright essentially American, both n form and philosophy. “You mustn’t believe that I hit upon the idea with a thought to pa- tronize, or—or caricature—or lam- poon, Pegleg,” he attempted, finding the huge man's silence unendurable. And then Pegleg's head came up. He was smiling enigmatically, though bis lips were still grim. “Ye say ye've come back to lave this community finish yere play for ve, because it must be real—because it must be as true to type as tho part ye lived yerself. And yet ye eat \\ P here, a minute back, and believed hat ye were alon: responsible for he—"He indicated the plaster spat- ered by the ball on the floor. “Faith, ye've become twisted about.
