Wfe GLASS SLIPPER? MIGNON G. IBIR.HA&T

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE There were only a cook and butler on the promisee; Guy was not yet at home fr>>m the oilier. The door leading to the dining room was not locked either. From that point on the coast was ridiculously dear. Through Guy's dining room and through the nail and out the front door, and there was no policeman in sight, and the corner of the house shielded her from her own street. Into the hurrying groups of pedestrians Take th<- first last you wee there was one, cruising. She got into it. Now for the Evanston elevated Hhe told the driver to go to the nearcot el station. She never knew what station he took her to; but they arrived at a lighted corner with the cl thundering and clattering overhead, and she paid him and joined the flow of people surging up those long steep stairs. Struggled with those nearest her to board the first train that clattered, lighted and noisy, out of th< night, find jerked to a stop before her and eaid in blight letters "Evanston and North Shore Local." Soon she'd be with Andy -safe. Rain ula-hed the window* It was still raining when *he got out at the Anchor Street station. She looked ar- und and found, as Andy had predicted she would find somewhere near, a small, desolatelooking little drugstore. She went in. Sat at a table and ordered hot cocoa, and the shining white table reminded her of that other night, so short a time ago, when she'd sat in the bright din of another drugstore With Andy. When would he come? Time passed and *he finished the hot cocoa. Timo passed and the heard newspaper* hawked on the street outside and her own name, but wouldn't buy one and read It Time passed and she didn’t once think of the letter in her poeket It was nearly eight o'clock when Andy finally came. Came hurriedly, his coat collar turned up about his face, with barely a word of greeting, taking her swiftly out of the shabby but lighted little drugstore, down the street into the shadow of the stark elevated pillars where hi* ear waited. Only it wasn't hi* ear. It was one Rue had never seen—but it wasn't a new car. It was old and battered and even in the dim light looked as if it wouldn't run for more than a mile or two. It might have come out of a junk heap. Andy was holding the door open. “Get in.” he said. A* she did so a curiously irrelevant thought came to her mind. She wondered what Andy had done with the knife she'd given him. Il was irrelevant and she dismissed it. Andy got in the ear beside her. The street stretched emptily ahead of them like a long tunnel, starkly outlined by the el columns which were shadow and substance intermixed, dotted bleakly at inter vals with wavering, rain-blurred j street lights. She had no idea where j she was. They turned and turned | again, and she was completely at a loss. Even the guiding elevated columns were gone. Andy said nothing; he was hunched forward peering into the rain ahead, trying to sec through the wavenag. dimly lit lane. She could see only his white, strained-looking profile. “How-far is it?" she asked above the wheezy rattle of the engine. •‘H'm?" Andy came out of his slistiaetion with a jerk, said; “Oh you mean to Mrs. Black's. Not far. Well go the back way. and come in

■gain oa Dempster Road. It’s—•afer that way. H* glanced at her one*, smiled briefly as if to reassure her and went back to hi* anxious scrutiny of the road ahead. Not rar. She drew a long, weary breath, and settled her chin down into th* collar of her coat and felt in her pocket for cigarette* Per haps her fingers actually touched th* letter that was there. She had cigarette* but no matches. And Andy handed her a small advertising folder of matches, and when she had lighted her cigarette she relumed the pack of match** to him. There tan srareeiy be a smaller or a mor* inronsequratial act. Yet it was in fact th* last small link in a chain. Neither of them spoke They w»r* leaving th* straggling outskirt* of town; she could see nothing of house* except now and then a light fUektring off somewhere in the rainy darkness. She said presently, idly, "Did you say Mrs. Black? I thought you called her Mrs. Brown. ..." Andy said abruptly: “Huh? Oh. Oh ye* I meant Mr*. Brown. . . . Gosh, it’s hard to see.” He hesitated at what appeared to be a crossroad, looked along the intersecting expanse of wet Hack pavement leading into nothingne** so far a* Rue could see, appeared to decide against it and went on. Probably they were in the country now; Andy himself seemed a little uncertain. "Where are we?" said Rue. “I—don’t know exactly. That is, Morton Grove is over there somewhere. And Milwaukee ought to cross this road." They pa**»d a filling station which was lighted at the roadside, but the building itself was dark. Closed, thought Rue. and it added to the desolation of the *pot. And they'd gone only about a quarter of a mil* farther on when i the car ran out of ga*. It chugged, wheezed, made another effort to move and stopped dead still. Andy tried the starter, tried it again, swore and said incredulously: “We'r* out of gas. We ean’t be. I had it filled—it must have leaked.'' He got out of the ear and w*nt around to the tank and returned. He stood at the door, his face looking ' ghostly white and like th* face of a stranger in the faint light from the dash. "We are out of gas," he said and stared at her. “There was a filling station back there," said Rue. “It waa closed, but perhaps—" “Ye*. Yes, I suppose I can break in.” He stared at her again and said: “Yes, of course. I must have gas. I've got to have Mr.,." It was rainy and dirk, and they hadn't passed another ear for a long time. She pulled her coat around [her and said: “111 go baek with ■ you.” He roused at that. He wouldn’t . have it; she'd get wet. “I won’t be long," he said. He looked at her again, eyes deeply shadowed and fixed, then he closed the door and disappeared Inta the murmurous darkness. Rain slashed against the window* of th* car. It was very quiet except for the rain and very lonely, .the could see no lights in any direction. She settled herself to wait. It would take Andy, she supposed, about twenty minute* to walk back to th* filling station, rouse someone or. as he said, break into the place, get some gasoline and trudge bark through the rain to th* ear.
