"Order up some breakfast," he said. “We’ve got, a long wait. And you'll have to see Gus.” “He's serving this floor.” Palcofl replied. “I figured you’d want him. One of the regular waiters became suddenly indisposed.” he added with a knowing smile, “and Ous, being a good fellow, offered to take bis shift.” “Pine” Huck approved; “ring for him.” CHAPTER XLVTT WHILE Huck waited for Gus to obtain the information he fc anted. In regard to Pamela's activities that morning, Mr. Judson went to see Mildred. It was a solicitous call, with a purpose. He wanted to urge Mildred to return to his employ. She had (recovered sufficiently from her injury to be bark at work, she had told him during a telephone conversation. He found her helping her mother to prepare lunch. She looked wan *nd tired. But, there was an air of quiet. Steadiness about her as she smiled away her mother's protests against her help that impressed Mr. Judson anew with her fine courage. “I'm going back to the office this afternoon,” she told him, while she finished laying the table. Mr. Judson waited in the doorway though Mrs. Lawrence was offering him a chair the while she tried to persuade Mildred to “let the table go.” “My office. I hope.” hr returned. Mildred flashed him a pleading glance. Oh. please.' 1 she said, and hastily put down a cup and saucer. Then she went over to him and placed a hand on his arm. "I appreciate your kindness." she said earnestly, “but I’d rather leave things as they are." 1 Well.” Mr. Judson returned and his eyes twinkled a. bit. “if you're planning to be married soon perhaps it is best. But f'ri like to meet the young man -Pamela told me his name is Thomas Mitchell." Mildred glanced quickly at her mother, w hose cheeks had become a hire pink. non e“p*HEN she turned back *o Mr. J Judson and he saw that she was embarrassed. “Pamela suggested that I give you

Miss Antoinette Tarver, who. by one of those accidents that do happen in many a Myrtle street, had become “one of the most beautiful and popular of Stanton's debutantes." Pat Tarver caught her singing. *‘Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." and there was moisture in his eyes as he crushed her against his big chest. No need for him to say that it seemed like home to him. too. He was obviously at home, and gloatine: over it. Pat Tarver never had taken the trouble to acquire the veneer which his wife. Peg. would have liked to buy for him. by the yard, to encase liK- Irish exuberance. So now he had to throw off nothing, but Tony could see him expanding and overflowing. He ate vastly and with loud delight. He roared out jokes and reminiscences of Myrtle street and the -good old days." scarcely letting Sandy's laconic. twinkling-eyed father get a word in edgewise. The two men insisted on helping her clear the dishes and "wash up." making a lark of it even as they pretended to be abused, in the immemorial fashion of Myrtle street husbands. Then, when she had seen the men settled in deep, sprawly comfort in front of the glowing coal stove in the setting room." as Pop called it. Tony went to the bedroom where Mom Ross lay drowsing a little overfed and vastly content, her injured foot propped on a big pillow, whose feathers had come with her—part of her dowry—from Ireland, thirty years before. "That you. Tony?. . . No. don't run away darlui'. I ain't sleepm'— jist sort of chewin' my cud. Drawup a chair and let me look at you." Mrs. Ross urged. "Mom. I've been thinking all day how much I love Myrtle street " Tony said, when she had obeyed. “And right now I'm half expecting to hear Peg calling me from out that window just over the fence. Remember how she used to call me?—'No-mee! No-my! O-o-h. NomyP And half the time I'd pre-

a traveling case for a wedding present." he went on. a trifle at a loss for an explanation of Mildred's attitude. “But of course you ? hat i wouldn't be advisable for you to leave the country before . . .” He paused, remembering Mrs. Lawrence's presence, and added. b* ore Stephen's case is settled." ' Inspector Markeson has told me ♦hat Mildred agreed almost guiltily. But you will tell me what you’d like to have most, wont you?" Mr. Judson went on. "I'd like to make : you very happy, Mildred." 'Oh!" the girl exclaimed. “It's all a mistake. Mr. Judson. I'm not engaged to anyone," Thinking it over later. Mr. Jud--1 .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 after all She had proved it by trying to win his promise not to let Pamela and Stephen know what he'd just i learned. “See here, my dear.” he had answered, taking her hands in his and speaking firmly, “do you think 1 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 because he can't have me. if that is what you mean.” “Then why did you tell him and Pamela such a thing?” Mrs. Lawrence came to Mildred’s rescue. “My 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—some one who loved her too much to want, him to guess it., because he was going to marry another girl. Mr. Judson felt, himself suddenly torn two ways. Pamela was his own child; he couldn't rob her of happiness. There was nothing that he could find against Stephen. The young man's family was respectable. Stephen didn't appear to be a fortune hunter. Mr. Judson was convinced that he would make his own way in the world without looking to any one for help. No. he couldn't withhold his consent if Armitage loved his daughter. . . . IF HE LOVED HER ! a a a MR JUDSON looked at Mildred and recalled the thought that had once flashed through his mind about Stephen. The thought that lie didn't, love either one of them, the grave-eyed girl or his own irresistible daughter. His heart ached for Mildred. There was nothing he could do for j her—nothing except, to make certain that Stephen would not realize j too late that he had made a mistake. Mr. Judson made up hisj mind to settle that point as soon; as possible. He looked over Mildred's head at her mother. “You'll let me know if there is anything T can do for you?" he ; asked and Mrs. Lawrence thanked him hurriedly. ( She was beginning to wish the i Judsons. both father and daughter.. would stay away. For half an hour after he was j gone Mildred was too upset to cat.' or start downtown.

tend not to hear, so's I could snatch one more half hour's play with Sandy. I—l think I belong on Myrtle street. Mom.” Mrs. Ross chuckled and shook her grizzled head vigorously. “It's homesick you are. dearie. But it wouldn't be the same if you come back to it. You're used to silk next your skin and linen sheets to your bed and thick rugs under your feet. "The little house, next door is a palace to them poor Burnses, what moved to it from a three-room shack but it'd be a hovel to you now. after what you're riz up to.” Tony shook her own head even more vigorously. "You don't know me then. Mom. T and still love it,, as long as you lived next. door. Who are these Burns people?" she added, jealously. “A widow woman and her daughter.” Mrs. Ross answered. "Mrs. Burns takes in a couple of boarders and the girl Mary is a clerk in the Banner store. A love of a girl. Mary is She's over here nearly every evenin' and—" "Is she pretty?” Tony asked quickly, a queer, sharp pain at her heart. (To Re Continued)

, Finally, when Mildred had bathed her face and powdered it afresh, tucked an extra handkerchief into her bag and put on her hat, the telephone rang. Mrs. Lawrence hurried toanswer it. She instantly recognized Pamela s 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'll not have them bothering you any more today!" “Mom! Mr. Judson has been most j kind to me. Didn't you hear him i say he'd leave his car for me and take a taxicab back to the hotel?” "Yes, I heard him. but considering i you've done so many favors for his daughter I guess that isn't any too much on his part." Mildred laughed at her a little and ■ kissed her gently. ! She 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. She went, immediately to work, but the thought that Pamela might have wanted to speak to her about something imi>ortant nagged at her mind until she decided to call her up She glancea at her w atch. It was 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 Mi'Ted thought ! Pamela might want to talk to her i about something private—something in connection with the police, perhaps. though it was more likely just i some trivial matter. Still. Mildred ; thought it best to be careful. a a THERE was a Slight wait and Pamela, herself answered when her room was called. She had come in late from a ' shopping tour and was waiting for j 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 I she had intended to ask Mildred to recommend a portable typewriter ! because she wanted to get one for Stephen when she heard a stealthy i 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 sitting room. The fleeting glimpse she caught of him failed to reveal his identity to her. She remembered that she had again forgotten to bolt her door—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. These thoughts sped so quickly through Pamela's head that, she forgot Mildred and quieklj 1 put the receiver down, off the hook, and 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 to her throat. But his name had been heard. At the other end of the wire Mildred stood momentarily paralyzed. Then she began to call. ‘Pamela,! j Pamela!" An instant too late she realized that Huck might hear her, too. and stopped. As Mildred's voice came to the terrified girl at Huck's mercy Pamela opened her mouth to shriek | his name again, but Huck was too j close to her now. He claDped a hand ! over her lips a.nd held it there with ! brutal force. _ j '“Keep quiet." hr ordered. “If, env one interferes it's the end —for j both of ous." t> n n PAMELA stared up at him from horror-filled eyes. “Your only chance to live is to listen and do as I sat’." 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. “I'm going to take my hand away now and if you scream you'll be dead the next second.” A tremor of nervous agony ran over Pamela's body as Huck removed his hand from her bruised lips and pressed the revolver deeper into her side. Huck. watching her like a hawk, saw that she was not going to make an outcry, but he did not lower the ; gun until he had told her what, she ! had to do and she had bent her head to signify her understanding and assent. Then he reached for the telephone and bunged up the receiver. The hat and ensemble coat, she had worn that 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. (To Be Concluded,)
