Where in the name of common sense have you been?" There she was before him, There they stood. The whole neighborhood had changed since - since --well, it was no use talking. He was glad to see lime doubly glad. It was all so sudden and unexpected. Only the day !memo Judge Kelly had met him at luncheon, and `had suggested that he owed her a call, at least, "A rine woman, 30110, a good woman." Night was stealing over the city, chill night. The rackety old East Side L rattled away. •Strangers were ietre e , well, I may have to do it. never know what he was making up passing. Mean streets are doubly, e 0 "Perhaps it isn't so," Hethering- ton mused, "But I have a statement from .allies, old Jules, the butler, discharged by Miss Lambert, or re- signed, I don't know which. He's now pi.prietor of the Club Daffodil.. How about that? You've read it?" "My dear Mr, Hetherington, it may simply be an attempt to get back at Miss Lambert. Don't believe every- thing you find out." "Well, there's a hig Story there," "My dear sir, this city is full of big "Yes," "I thought so. Wlell, Marvin, I'm getting back into society again, what there is left of it, and 'Mrs. Vaal -Torn' won't sound so bad. He'll have to change his name, that's all." "I was hoping he would, Josephine. Oh, girl, you .are good and wise." "I'ni going to settle things pretty soon Marvin." "Good night, mar dear. Will you kiss an old man?" sac =a "There? Now be good." It was getting on into November, Josephine Lambert had many things to think about. What a difficult boy John was. Of course he was differ- ent, essentially a gentleman. and she, in a measure, knew why he was so reluctant tc pay active court to deer. But she knew be was impressionable, romantic, fervent, and she 1 -new he was lost. lost in the interminaele maze surronuding them. The whole bulking swelling body of the town was rhokine; her, it was literally eholting her with money and disgust. Two weeks before Osman Snow, alias Sltnowvitslty, had paid, in cash, a sum so staggering she hardly believ- ed her eves. Quite cleverly (stn had acted unintentionally) her reluctance to part with the old Van Horn house had reaulte1 in many. many thous- and; of additional dollars. In anoth- er month. however. see would have to move out. Another month. Two weeks of the last month had gone by. She had not seen John Breen. Judge Kelly arranged to in- form her of his whereaobuts. Th,l old Judge was as excited as a har- pooner. Another week went bv. Al- ready Josephine was feeling the ne °essity of packing. Of course it could be done quickly, and many things could simply be left to auction- eers. "Mr. Breen has left the Engineer's' Club. He is going to the Public Lib- rary." It was an important call. ar- ranged for her by Judge Kellv..lose- phine Lambert motored down Park Avenue, it was surer. She left her car at the Grand Central and walked over to Fifth Avenue. For the long- est kind of a time she waited. Would he leave by the side door on Forty - Second Street? She swore under hoe breath, rather competently, and she would have liked to light a cigarette, as many men did but the stupid city 1 hid yet to advance a few mora stage 1 before women ca-uld be entirely at Immo on the streets. It was mid-aftrnoon. John had lunched lei;urely, and had consulted the files of the papers back in 1909. He used the Times Index, ate' was rewarded by several references to Almon Strauss. He was piecing to - Pother information for his 'own use. Strauss was immensely weathly, al- nma''t a eemplete mystery, as to fact, a nebulous theory, as to report.

"You know all about—the relat- ionship?" "Right, old guardian. Now what? Must I split 7" "My dear young lady. You don't know .John." "Well, mare• than half of the es- tate is my own.

No one can tell the city what to do. It does things, and offers no excuses. As John walked down from the li- brary, across the broad steps, Jose- phine saw him at once. He went southward along the Avenue, %tree! ling casually, swinging a 05110, hard ly looking at any one. Josephine crossed over and walked a short distance behind him, She smiled grimly at the business. Several an' geaintances saw her. she bowed stif- fly and dropped back. It was a dead- ly business, But John did look rath- er trim. He walked easily. hi had an air aibout. him. For the first time the humor of the situation dawned upon Josephine.

Josephine also bought a paper. She was getting intensely wrought up in the chase. A picture caught her eye. "Almon Strauss Definitely Abandons °. • Plan." There was not much else, She wondered what John was ,c un•' set about. His jaunty step was gone. He had tossed the paper into a can and it was immediately retrieved by a• bum. Josephine dropped her paper behind a low rail, on the half-dead grass. "The city is always being abandoned," she remarked thought- , fully. Soon she would abandon it herself. She smiled at the thought. Jramnhl,, was a gnnd stout walk - me the air was cool, it was getting a bit dusky. John wee 'on Third ave- ' nue, and strolled along. He hardly ! knew where he was going. So Almon „tra Strauss was Quitting. u' t' Well, he was quitting too. The London crowd had cabled him only a few days before, i Mb he had to do was say "yes". Five metre' work at least, in Manchuria. He felt better, even in his lonesome- ness. At Ninth Street, he walked East fn St. ?l' rk's-hi-the-Bouwerie, and then he was near the site of the old Cafe Boulevard. "Oh, John!" Josephine called to him. She was running toward him. "I saw you a block away, I was er. It Was six o'clock. They turned west, toward the subway, "I usually leave my car, when I'm ' down here. a She teid the plain truth, but not much of it. They were near the Asp tor Place station. "You must come ' home with me, John, you look tired. Do,". "Thanks, Josephine, if you will have. tae. I was about es suggest din- ner somewhere{" "We'll dine at home, just you and ' me, Oh, I ani so glad to see you, John." He changed a coin, they were clapped through 'the turnstile. A crowd covered the platform. They were wedged together. "I have been wondering, just now, what is to (become of us—you and me?" She looked up at him, her long lashes dropped. She was young, so very young it seemed. They were crushed into a train, he tried to shield her, his arm ever her shoulder against a column. Her pre- sence was grateful, comforting, as if he had always been with her, as if she was, well, was what a wife should be, safe, reassuring, lovable. At Fourteenth Street the greater part of the crush squeezed out, attempt- ing to enter an express and save two minutes. Conversation on the train was im- possible, a few seats were available. Josephine, who never used the sub- way, sat very close to John, shoved against him by a man in foul over- alls, a man with an evil -smelling pa- rer hanger's kit between his knees, The East Side tube, carrying the returning denizen; of upper Harlem and the Bronx, the 'black and white, the drab and gray, rocked and shunt- ed, stopped and started with jerks. and pounded on flat wheels and with screaming brakes. A song was re- verberating through Josephine,"I've THURS., NOV. X(➢, 1832 got him at last! I've got him at last?" They walked across narrow Fifty- ninth Street. John thought how sig- nificant numbers` are in the great city. Fifty-nine. Men. at fifty-nine are old, at least so it seemed to John. They walked up Madison Ave- nue and turned into the familar cross-town street. High buildings hedged in the Van Iilorn home, The Japanese butler opened the door. "I am not at home, Tashi." "Yes, madam." Dinner was served in the dark din- ing .room; John and Josephine hardly talked. .She had changed her street gown, in an incredibly short time. "You know I have no specilll maid now, John, Just the cook, Tashi, and a boy. Oh, I have changed," She blushed becomingly, "I dress my self, do my hair.
