NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLVII ‘While Huck waited for Gus to ob- tain the information he wanted in regard to Pamela’s activities that | morning, Mr. Judson went: to sce | Mildred. | It was a solicitous call. with a | purpose.

But I'd like to meet the young man—Pamela told me his name is Thomas Mitchell.” Mildred glanced quickly at her mother, whose cheeks had become a nice pink. Then she turned back to Mr. Jud- son and he saw that she ‘'was embar- rassed. “Pamela suggested that I give you a traveling case for a wedding present,” he went on, a trifle at loss for an explanation of Mildred's attitude, “But of course you know that it wouldn’t be advisable for you to leave the country before . . ." He paused, remembering Mrs. Lawrence’s presence, and add- ed, “before Stephen's case is set- tled.” “Inspector Markeson has told me that,” Mildred agreed almost guiltily. “But you will tell me what you'd like to have most, won't you?" Mr. Judson went on. “T'd like to' make you very happy, Mildred.” “Oh!” the girl exclaimed. “It's all a mistake, Mr. Judson. I'm not en- gaged to anyone.” Thinking it over later, Mr. Jud- son realized that he hadn’t been at all surprised. And before he left he knew that his first conclusions in regard to Mildred's affections were correct |atter all. She had proved it by trying to win his promise not to let Pamela and Stephen know what he'd just learned. “See here, ' my dear,” he had answered, taking her hands in his and speaking firmly, “do you think this would make any difference to Stephen?” Mildred did not answer for a moment, then, “No,” she said, “I'm sure he isn't marrying Pamela be- cause he can't have me, if that is what you mean.” “Then why did you tell him and Pamela such a thing?” Mrs, vrence came to Mildred's rescue. y daughter Constance, she explained. “It was a poor joke but we let it go.” “I'm afraid I don’t see Mr. Judson replied. But he did. He saw very plainly. Someone else knew that Mildred loved Stephen Armitage — someone who loved her too much to want him to guess it, because he was going to marry another girl. Mr. Judson felt himself sudden- ly torn two ways. Pamela was his own child; he couldn't rob her of happinees, There was nothing that he could find. against Stephen. The young man's family was respect- able. Stephen didn't appear to be a fortune hunter. Mr. Judson was convinced that he would make his own way in the world without look- ing to anyone for help. No. he couldn't withhold his consent if Armitage loved his daughter. .= . IF HE LOVED HER!

He looked over Mildred's head at her mother. “You'll let me know it there is anything I can do for you?” he asked and Mrs. Lawrence thanked him hurriedly. She was beginning to wish the Judsons, both father and daughter, would atay away. ? For half an gone Mildred or start downtown. Finally, when Mildred had i bathed her face and powdered it afresh, tucked an extra handker- chief into her bag and put on her hat, the telephone rang. Mrs. Lawrence hysried to answer it. 8he instantly recognized Pa- mel; voice. Mildred heard her tell a direct falsehood. “Why mom,”" she protested as her mother banged up the receiver, “how could you say-I'm not here?" “It's that Pamela Judson,” her mother explained, “and I not have them" bothering you any more today!” “Mom! Mr. Judson has been most kind to me. Didn't you hear him say he'd leave his car for me and take a taxicab back/to the hotel 2" “Yes, T heard him, but consider- ing you've done so many favors for his daughter I guess that ian't any too much on his part.” Mildred laughed at her a little and kissed her gently. 8he found, when she reached her employer's office, that Mr. Judson had been there and explained enough to absolve her from blame in any way. 8She went. immediately to work, but she thought that Pamela might have wanted to speak to her about something important nagged at her mind until she decided to call her u our after he was too upset to eat p. She glanced at her watch. Tt wi after two. Pamela might be lunching at the hotel. She. got up to go to ‘a pay telephone in a booth. There was another girl in the office at the time and Mildred thought Pamela might want to talk to her about something private— something in connection with the police, perhaps, though it was more likely just fome’ trivial matter. 8till, Mildred thought it best to be careful. There was a slight’ wait and Pa- mela herself answered when her room was called. 8he had come in late from a shopping toyr and was waiting for her maid to come and | help her dress for lunch. Mildred explained that she knew Pamela had telephoned her home | and inquired what she wanted. Pamela was about to answer that she had intended to ask Mildred to recommend a portable typewriter because she wanted to get one for ‘Stephen when she heard a atealthy | sound at her door. She thought it was her maid— who was being detained in the servants’ dining room . by Gus—but through a crack in the screen be- hind which ‘she sat at her telephone desk she saw a man-enter her sit- ting room. The fleeting glimpse she caught of him failed to reveal his fdentity to her.™ 8he remem- bered that she had again forgotten to bolt her dcor—a habit she’d been trying to acquire since Harold's death. But she had locked it! This man ! had entered with a key. He could ! not be a hotel servant. i These thoughts sped ' so quickly | through Pamela's head that she forgot Mildred and quickly put the receiver down, off the peered out from behind the screen. An instant later her voice shrilled a name that brought the intruder facing her with a snarl. She saw that he held a gun and terror froze the shriek that rose in hook, and | At the other end of the wire Mil- dred stood momentarily paralysed. Then she began to call, “Pamgla!

He clapped a hand over her lips and held it there with brutal force. “Keep quiet.” he ordered. *“If anyone interferes it's the end—for both of us.” Pamela stared at him from hor- ror-filled eyes. “Your. only chance to- live is to listen and do as I say,” Huck went on and there was death itself.in his voice. “You're going with me” Huck told her in that same monotonous semi-whisper.

Then he reached for the telephone and banged up the receiver. The hat and ensemble coat she had worn thit morning lay on a nearby chair. Huck grabbed them up and thrust them toward her. Under the coat he found her bag and gave her that, too. Over his own arm he carried his own topcoat. It was unnecessary s a garment but it served to hide the gun that Pamela had seen thrust into his pocket. “Take my arm,” Huck directed, and Pamela obeyed like an auto- maton. “If you can't think of anything else ray the Lord’s Prayer, and say it fast,” Huck said to her as-he led her toward the door. *“For it's going to be unlucky for you if any- one discovers - that you're not en- joying this little elopement.” desk to make some laughing remark to Pamela.
