It Bras manifestly impossible for him to visit every:mansion, cottage and hovel within a radius of 5 miles and de- mand !f each or any of then were the abode of a’ girl whose name he did not know, but who made a practice of dressing in scarlet. “How long will it be/before I get into the Retreat for the Numb-Witted at that rate?” he asked himself. Then he remembered the girl lived avout a mile beyond the ouse of a woman named Saunders. “Whore js the Saunders’ house?’ he inquired of the station agent. “Which Saunders?” said that digni- tary. The 9 of ‘em! in Nyack.” An accommodation train rolled in, and to his joy Gray saw alighting from the second car the wom- fn he had seen that afternoon and who bad so ungraclopsly informed him her name was Saunders.

The road led northward along the bank of the Hudson, rising first gtad- ual’, then move abduptly uhtil st turned sharply westward half way up a steep bluff. ‘There Arthur paused in doubt. A house surrounded by extensive grounds crowned the bluff just in front of him. A carriage drive wound upward from the turn in the main road to the port- cochere of the mansion that loomed dim and vague in the fading® evening light. From the front of the house, as Gray could see, a lawn extended some dis- of this cliff, overgrown Yy bushes and vines, it was @ sheer drop of more than @ hundred feet to the rocky beach be- low, As Robert paused uncertainiy the faint tinkle of a distant gultar came to his cars. A moment later a woman's wolce, sweet, well trained yet listlessly diveamy in intonation, began to sing. He had heard that volce before. It hed only breathed a few words of gratitude for his herolam, but he had not forgot- ten it. “The Git) in Red!" he muttered and started swiftly up the carriage drive toward the house, From a wide, un- Ughted window: on the second floor, as he could. see by the rising moon, a cov- ered balcony juttsd out.

As the chords died awgy ehe lal aside the guitar and, leaning over the edge of the bancony, looked down into the moonlit shrubbery. “You have found me,” she sald, softly. “I knew you would. Yet you didn't fol- low me home.” It did not strike Arthur Gray as pe- cullar that this mysterious girl should show no alarm or embarrassment at his sudvien advent. He knew little of wom- @n, The hour, the music, the moonlight, the wondrous beauty of the early au- tuma night, all made the whole happen- ing scem natural and congruous to him. “Why have you come? went on the Giri in Red. “To see you again.
