CHAPTER I The world was black Then red circle* i>oured in. They were swallowed by purple rings. She was lost. Vast hallways opened. She was going into a strange world. She was riding. She was going somewhere. I “Tou fainted, dearest. It’s been too I much for you.” She was burning hot. She was full of something like fear, hut It was worse than fear. It flamed and crackled up as if she stood In the mJ.lst of a j tire. She gasped as if smoke ehoked -. her. "Poor darling?" • She kept her eye* dosed. She felt a motion of something under her, carrying her. “Open your eyes, dear." But she did not. She did not want . to see the person who spoke to her. She knew she was in a vehicle of some i kind, going somewhere. Cautiously, she clutched at the seat.| beneath her. running her fingers over j -■ cool leather. She half opened her | eyes. A taxicab. Site, was riding In a taglcab. She shivered and closed her eyes' again. ", ’•You’re all right, sweet." It was a man’s mice. She hated It. ( She turned her head away from It* J Beneath lifted lids she snw the streets of New York. A large firm ; hand dosed over hers. "* “I’m afraid It’s been a ahmk." She kept her head averted. 4 “Poor sweet.” “I don’t—’’ ’ "Don’t talk, darling.’’ She turned and looked at the man , beside her. Dark earnest eyes plumbed i hers anxiously.' His tanned face was flushed. Ills brow was damp. - "You don’t what, sweet?" His thin mouth was twitching. She stared at It blankly. “You don’t what?" “I don’t know." she gave' a long atgh and closed her eyfrs. Wavoe, swept over her. She was losing some 1 thing. or‘was It already lost? Her familiar self 'Was fleeing. She opened her eyes. She straightened her hat. j “Feeling better* , I She Searched his face. Every < ■. > wan strange. Who was he? He spoke an If he knew her welt. Yei she cohid ! not remember him. i "All right now?" Who was he? Hit smile was terrl “ tying She could not remember him.* How had ahe got there? Where'had j ahe been before? Who was lie? Who was anybody? She did not even re member het awn name She sat straight and tense, her eyes wide open and frightened. The lo«« of hot identity did not matter. If onh she could get away from this horrl- | hie man. I Hta fingers wen» on hers again. Her I eyes took him in furtively. He waa ! young, yes, young, well dressed and In , away good looking. j “Yon need something to drink." I "No. ho. I’m all right." "I’m going to get you a bromide.” . “1’1! take nothing.** | . He set his Jaw. There was a drug store In the next block. She thought: I must get away from him. She thought It so strongly there was no room for her to wonder even about the loan of memory. He was rapping on the glans window of the cab. “You'll feel better as soon as you’ve swallowed something soothing.” “Please don’t bother.” The driver turned a roughly shaved face toward them. "Stop at that drug store ahead " She shook her head. "I won’t take anything" The eab was slowing down. "Tee you will." His smile waa wan and anxious. ’Til get them to mix somethiug to make you feel better. It's the b—l of a jam. No wonder yon fainted." . She did not ask what the Jam was. She was filled with dread. But her eyes., were determined. She would take nothing from him. The cab was stopped. The driver leaned toward - them. "Can’t get right up in front of the place." . "Thia will do." The young man's ’ hand was already on the latch. "Coa*e on. But no. you better wait here. 11l bring it out to you." He was forcing a smile. He was suffering. She saw that. But ahe did not pity him. He went down the street, turned into the drug store. As ahe saw the last of film through the swinging doors, she was flooded with relief. She sat paralysed. He was gone. She leaned forward, steadying herself against the glass behind the driver. “Drive on” ahe Mid. Drive on." The man turned his head slowly, looked at her stupidly. "Drive oa." she repeated "Go on." His heavy Jaw dropped. - “You want me to drive on*’ "Tea. Go on." He bent to his gears. "Where tor “Straight ahead." She relaxed, trembling. With a screeching of the gears, the car crawled Into traffic. She watched the door of the drug store with terror. They pawed it safely. He might come out at atty moment He might run after the cab, waving and shouting. “Turn at the next corner. Turn

! "No left turn, Miss." • ••Then turn right. Only, tura And then go on and I’ll tell you when to ’■ stop.” ■ ’ Her fear 'was' receding. She whs weak with relief and a curious sense of triumph. The cab had turned. I She drew a long breath. The alt I was soft and springlike. The avenue was full of brightly painted new ears. She was feeling better. A clock in the street tub! her that It. was half-past four, Her own watch verified the i hour ’ Thrnifkh the park. Miss?" i * “Yes.” ' Where was she going? Where was her borne? perhaps in a few minutes It would all come back toiler. She composed herself, sat tensely In the can.-trying To be calm, trying to he rational, trying to remember. Who was her mother? Who was her father? I “Ix»ok here." she whispered, “you must I know somebody, even If you're an t orphan. Just think of sofne one peri son that you know. Anybody at all | Will do. Picture somebody's face!” Thus commanded, across her vision floated the picture of the taxi driver Then the face of the man she bad left in the drug store emerged clearly In her mind's eye? And that was all. I She began straining her eyes at j every one in the streets. Surely some- ; one or something would give her a ( clue as to who she was, where she • night to go. She seemed to know New York, she thought with a feeling of | ! gratitude Stic could go to a hotel at ! least. . j f “Around the j»ark again?" The cab j. man questioned. i "No. Take me to the Biltmore." She spoke with decision. She did not know why she said the Biltmore. But she was clad that her wits seemed I t« he returning But what she would ’ do after she got to the hotel ahe (■.. mid not say. It dawned on her then ' that the young nutn she had left In the drug Store tras her single link with her past. 1 She drew Iter fox neckpiece closely about her chin.

could not remember where she had dreeaed that morning "I wonder what i my face Is like." she thought suddenly, “perhaps I'm an old woman!* With anxious fingers she opened her bag and found a little mirror. Her rjes young and fWkhtened back at her. There was not a wrinkle to be seen In the soft contour* of her •whit* face. She was glad she was still young. She hadn't felt old. ’ She could not tell much about her I‘face though she spent acme time inwpecting it. Then the turned her at- ' tention to her hand bag. She drew out i a handkerchief. It was of sheer white linen with the Initial D„ embroidered in one corner. “D." she thought, “stands , for Dorothy—or Daisy. I wonder If ! one of those name* could be mine? Or Della? Or Drusilla?” It was bewildering to be able to think of no many name*. It was exasperating. She did not believe that any of those names belonged to her. She returned to the exploration of | her bag. and drew out a black eu- | ameled compact. Thia seemed to have her monogram on It In raised gold letters. but so elaborate was the design that she could not puzzle oat what the letters were. The D was clear enough but whether the other two letter* were N and M. or V and W ah* could not decide. There was no card; nothing else but a bill-fold and a coin purse. She saw with relief that she had plenty of , money with her. “At least.*' she thought, "I won't starve until I find out who I am and where I'm supposed to go.” On her hands were some chamois skin gloves. Now she striped them off and looked down at her slim fingers. On the third finger of her left band was a platinum band net with tiny dia-

mono*. Tm married." Thia wa* noreal It was unexpected as a blow be- ! tween the eye*. She stared at the ring wcmderlogly and whispered to herself > unbelievingly. “Pm married !• i The cab stopped with a Jerk. She i looked up. She was at the Vanderbilt entrance to the Biltmore The uni- i formed hotel doorman was opening the door. She took hold of her purse finely and prepared to get out. "How much?" “Dollar-sixty. Don’t forget your bags.” Her bags! She was startled. The driver Indicated the seat beside himself. It was loaded down with very smart-looking luggage. She watched the doorman pull down I two swagger looking bags of snakeskin. and an enormous hatbox of the same extravagant material. • Wouldn’t do to go off and leave these," commented the doorman goodnaturedly. “No— of course not” She was confused by the sense of many people, the sounds of cabs honking. The cabman waiting for his money, and the helpful attendant both bothered her, because she wanted to look at her bags, take them, somewhere and examine them carefully. Surely when she read her own Initials they would remind her of her name, and her past. She pulled out two bills, and handed them to the driver. As he let his car mure Into the traffic she turned and looked at the bags piled on the sidewalk before, the hotel. They bore two large, prominent letters: ‘D. V. At last she had some definite clue that would lead her back to herself, or the person she had been. A bellboy popped ont of the quietly pretentious doorway, and seized them eagerly. She tipped the doorman generously, and followed the bellboy. As she mounted the stairs she felt sure that she would remember everything In a moment. Her name was D. V. Miss Drusilla Vance, or— Mias Dorothy Vane say— or— or Miss Deborah Valentine. It was absurd and annoying that Just the right name didn’t come. She drew on her glove, half nervously, and her finger struck against her wedding ring. Instantly all her bravery fled. Miss Drusilla Vance! Miss Dorothy Vane! Why, she was married. She | was Mrs. Somebody. Mrs. D. V. And I then her Imagination traveled straight back to the man she had left in the drug store. Sweet, he had called her. and Darling ! So that was her husband. Her husband wak a man ahe feared and hated. She shivered. “No wonder I lost my mind," she said to herself half-cheer-'fully. “Perhaps he’s saved the mortgage on my dear old home, and Fve had to marry him out of gratitude; and on account of my conscience I’ve been living with him;. so now some kind fate has made me lose my memory. so 1 won’t have any conscience hhmit leaving him"

• Then. “Perhaps, after all, be Isn't my husband—" The slow minor strain* of the string orchestra came from the tea room. Something gripped her heart. Perhaps she was going to remember. She knew the song. The word* *a!d themselves to her in a long, sinister drawl Oh gtv* me something To remember you by! When yea are far away from me. She was walking slowly in rhythm to its tedious beat a* she repeated the words. But they brought no further recollections. Strang* that a song should remain when nothing else did. She moved along obscurely, but with an inner defiance. She wa* not a phantom and the silly dream would have to end. Hadn't she showed that she was no phantom by leaving her husband? Some girls wouldn't have been as daring. She hoped she wouldn't meet him. "Register y asked the clerk. The bellboy carrying her luggage had led her to th* deek. She flushed. What should ah* put down? Mrs. Drusilla Vance? But she couldn't She hesitated. “Not—not yet" She turned to the bellboy. “Take care of my bags for a few moments." she said, handing him a dollar. Til be right back." She had thought of th* long mirror I in the ladies* room. Surely on* good look at her face and figure would bring back something Important She walked rapidly now. feeling mor* hopeful Wasn't there something unconsciously directing bar?

I bow knew flashed before >er. The > man Ln the taxiea b. Her reverie endi ed abruptly. She turned into the I ladles' room, saying fervently, “But • oh—perhaps—perhaps—after all that man wasn’t my husband!" Then she saw herself in the mirror. And everything else faded from her mind because though she mw with relief that she was young and pretty, that she was well dressed and had an air of smartness, not one flicker came Into her mind of any kind of recollection. She could not even decide whether she had ever seen herself before or not. But she was certainly feeling better. She stood and gazed and gazed deep into her own eyes. “Well, you’ll know yourself the next time you see yourself. Girlie.’* Mid a voice. “But If you haven’t anything to do for the rest of the day would you let me take a crack at that mirror for a minute?"' She turned. A girl was grinning st her. A rakish dashing girl with lips a lively red. “Hello," she faltered. Perhaps this girl was her friend. "Move over. Cutie." The stranger’s violet eyes were ringed with mascara. Her pretty lids were painted blue. "Got something in my eye and this Is the only mirror 1 can get clues to," She edged tn and pulled competently at her lashes. “That’s a shame," Mid the nameleM girl sympathetically. She wanted to about: Do you know me? What’s my name? The new girl fished a speck of black out of her eye. ’There. That’s that!” She stood back,and eyed herself with critical admiration. . „ \ The nameless girl watched with a friendly eye, hoping that the newcomer’s greeting had meant a. former acquaintance. But the girl took no fur- , ther notice of her for the moment. The nameless girl took off her gloves to wash her hands. There was the wedding ring again. She thought: Wedding rings are usually Inscribed on the inside. She drew It off and began to examine It She found the inscription: “H. L. V. to D. M. Msy 19th, 1082."
