knll on tho golf nnd yacht nnd hotel
porches; they knit on tho beach; further
more, they knit on tho Stockton bath
house porches, nnd oven In Arnold's and
TlMnger's restaurants. In fact, they
even take their knitting to their bridge
clubs, because, you know, when you play
dummy you can knit, nnd tho thing nt
present Is to have ns many Bwcators with
angora collars and cuITh and belts a3 It
Is posalblo to malic In ono iicason. Why,

hard to say whether It Is nn advance or

Sunday to the church door on n bike.
Oh, yes, It's quite true Sho prefers this
modo of conveyanco and, gowned In a
skirt of black volvet, with n blnck-and-white
striped sweater nnd a stunning hat
trimmed with n tullo bow, she goes on
her bike, dismounts and leaves the ma
chine at tho door nnd goes In looking
quite as well gloomed ns any of her mo.

spin up the beach nnd enjoys It, too. You
eee, It Is very good exercise, nnd there

But It was too late. A moment before
ho had been at my mercy ; I could have
silenced him, have rid myself of him nnd

Now, however, ho had backed Btiddenly

A second Inter his voice rose huskily upon
tho night, bawling at tho top pitch of his

"Murdor!" ho howled; and ngaln,
"Murder !"
And I heard tho heavy clumping of his

JIMMY MONKEY'S CHARACTER
By Farmer Smith
The telephone bell rang and Mrs. Monkey
answered it. She hung up he receiver
and said:)
"Jimmy, Mrs. Baboon wants you to come
over and play with the baby Baboon."
"All il.'ht." answered Jimmy, as he hop
ped out the window and off the porch.
In a few minutes he was at the Baboon
home. He held his finger oa the electric
button until the baby Brjioon answered.
"What do you mean ey ringing- my aoor-
bell like that?
Don t you Jtnow you can.
tell a per&on'a character by Uia way he
ring a, doorbell?"
"Excuse, me," wunrewd Jlmmy xau)sXy.
In two seconds tho racket was Inde
scribable, the street In nn uproar. Sharp
and clear through It all came the shrill
call of a police whistle.
fio far as I was concerned, that sound
resohed my dilemma I was for flight
following the exntnple of my cabby. Yet
something gac me paue a hollow moan,
a sound dismal, arresting, heartrending.
Tho man then was not dend after alt !
That knowledge was like n d.isli of cold
water In my face. I hesitated an Instant,
uncertain ns to my duty whether It was
to myself or to my fellow In suffering,
whether to fly or to remain nnd be of
what service I might
And, as 1 stood Irresolute, the full liorror
of my predicament was disclosed to mo

to blunder Into the nrms of tho police
And In thin extromlty, bewildered as I
wns, It appeared that thcro was nothing
for It but to stick to the sole thing in all
that fog-bound land that I wns suro of the
coupe. And even today, when I como to
consider It In tho light of calm and dis
passionate Judgment, I can seo no better
courso then open to mo to follow.
Mad or not, then, I determined to climb
on tile box nnd drive away. I got out and
closed the door ery quietly, finding, to my
relief, that the lock was not broken, after
all, and that, therefore, It would not bo
liable to rattle unduly with the motion of
tho vehicle.

I Jumped upon tho box, grabbed the reins,
nnd. finding the whip without delay, brought
the lash down smartly on tho horso's back.
There followed nn astonished clatter of
hoofs, which continued for some little time,
during which wo drow away by degrees
from tho uproar In tho street.
Probably we turned many corners. I am
suro I made no effort to guide the animal.
How should I? After awhile the uproar
grew faint. Later it died nway altogether.
I was alone with my wounded or dead
man, with tho horse and the coupe, again
creeping at a funeral pneo through tho
heart of midnight London, delving more
deeply Into the mysterious heart of that con
founded fog
I sat upon tho box In a daze, a lethargy,

Tho chill of the night air had had time
to penotrato to the very marrow of my
bones before I seemed to waken suddenly.
I drew In upon tho reins. Tho horse stopped.
About Us a dead quietness reigned. I
had a suspicion that wa wero come Into ono
of tho more respectnblc residence quarters
of the city. A bell boomed somewhere a
heavy, resonant, brnien shudder of sound!
a s'nglo stroke. Whether It wns ono of tho
clock or a hnlf hour I neither knew nor
cared.
1 sat pondering what wns to happen In
the end of the chnpter Very well I knew
that I could not go on llko that for tho rest
of tho time.
Thre Reeined to be but one hopo for me
to slight and knock at the first door,
nnd. If he who answered showed any signs
of human sympathy at all. to unfold my
tntc of woe nnd beg for shelter. It was
a drspernte chance, thus to throw myself
upon the mercy of n hap-chance English
man, but I could concclvo nothing better.
The worst ho could do would bo to hand
me oor to the police a fate which was
to bo my certain portion In any other event,

down off tho box nnd stretched my ernmped
legs on tho sidewalk slippery with moisture.
I'rescntly I turned my bnck upon tho
carrlago and struck straight nway Into tho
obscurity, walking tentatively, exploring the
atmosphere before me with eager fingers.
Abruptly a startling thing happened
startling, that Is, to one In my overexcited
otnto of mind.
A pnrallologrnm of Illumination was pro
jected upon the gloom at some distance, per
haps 30 feet away, squarely ahead of me,
and 20 feet or so above tho ground. I
flxod my eyes upon It hungrily, conceiving
that I had como Into n courtynrd, and that
tho light was from a window on tho farther
sldo.
In a moment the glow was shadowed
Indistinctly by a moving form. 1 heard
tho creaking of weights and a slam as a
window sash was thrown open. And then
It seemed that a man wns leaning out Into
the night. I heard him yawn.
"ISh-yah!" he said sloopliy. "A black,
damnable fog. Jack !" apparently address
ing somo one In tho room behind him.
The reply, wcro thcro any, was lost to
me.
"And beastly late," commented tho voice
again. 'Thanks bo that I have not to be
out. I think I'll go"
Ho withdrew his head, I deduced, nnd
shut tho window. A slam cut short his
words, and at once the light begnn to van
ish by degrees, as though an unseen hand
within tho room wore pulling down the
shade.
But before It disappeared entirely, I was
making toward It treading rough cobbles
again. In a moment I had fallen over a
doorstep and barked both shins painfully.
I wns up Instantly, however, and, with my
heart beating like a wild thing, had my
hand on the knob of a door.
It turned without resistance. I stepped

Above ms a door opened, fleodW ti
upper landing with light, by "which DM 1
made out a steep flight of stairs nhenl it
me. There were vole-s Klrowsy drwH,
befitting tho lateness of the hour!
"Well, good night. Jack."
" 'Night, old chap."
"See you In the morning."
"Sur-ly. 'Night"
"I'll leave the door open to light you tf
stnlrB." "Thanks awfully, old man."
Footsteps ascended tho Upper fifght. 1
shut the outer door and stamped boldly tip
the stairs. The footsteps above me Cenped,
but tho door continued ajar, When I had
gained the landing I made out the figure
of a man, holding In one hand a lamp, an
staring at me.
"Why, Murchlson," said a familiar voice,
"I thought I henrd you come In an hour

might have been, considering the unholy ap
parition I must have preeonted. He stood,
eyes wide, mouth open, a picture of stupe
faction, while I advanced.
As for myself, I was half mad wth de
light. Chance, that had played with me so
mercilessly that night, had turned about
and favored me at last.
I stepped forward with both hands out
stretched nnd tremulous with agitation,
"Sevranco!" I erfed. 'Tony, my friend,

CHAPTER V.
An Knjtllah Gentleman.
"TXT'IEN did you arrive? Why didn't
VV you cable ad vising mo of your com
ing? And what under hinh heaven have
you been up to?"
Tou must know Sovrance a rery tall,
sllmly built flguro of a man. at that mo
ment In Immaculate evening attire. To
my way of thinking he la one of tho finest
men In tho world, and of the beat to loolc
upon.
Ills features are of an aacctlo caat, clean
shaven always, Ills forehead Is broad,
high and very whlto: for that matter there
la little color In his complexion he Is
naturally pale. His nose la slightly aqul
llno and very slender: his mouth thin of
Up, firm, sympathetic: his chin square.'
Hut his eyes one Bees first ot all, and re
members forever after eyes of a good
site, very bright, alert gray with humor
lurking In their depths. lie -carries him
self Bcdatoly, with a certain detached dig
nity. Thoro Is tho man whom I Baw standing
before mo as I sat and retailed my marvel
ous adventure: Anthony Sevrance, barris
ter, Rentleman than whom no man ever
rojolced In a friend moro brave and loyal.
He heard mo out with not a comment
other than the dancing play of expression
In his eyes. Ills features, as generally,
remained lmprmolvc they are of a Judicial
mold. In tho end: "Seriously," he assured
me, "I waB never moro glad to lay eyes
on living man. You are Back In the nick
of time. Julia Is engaged to tho German."
I Btood up, gripping tho table. My voice
sounded far away to me. ''Is It two?" I
heasd myself Bay.
Ho took my hand compassionately,
"Quite," said he. "But they're not mar
ried yet." And his gaze meeting mine, he
smiled, adding: "Moreover, I venture to
prophecy that they are not to be now."
Presently die blood began to flow back
to my heart. I knew that ho spoko the
truth that there was hopo, I knew that
I should never abandon the hopo of winning
Heart's Desire until the very end of all
things.
And, oddly, my mind went back to less
material matters.
"That." I said, "Is for the morror At
present, I have a duty."
"What Is that?" ho Inquired.
"To do what I can for the fellow In the
cab," ''
"Oh, the deuce ! I'd forgotton him. Like
ns not he's beyond aid."
"We'll have to sec that's plain human
ity. Dc you mind If I bring him In here?"
"What eloo will you do? Take him to
tho Carelton?"
We shared the laugh.
'Como." ho added. "I'll go with you.
Oh. but you'd never find your way back If
I didn't. Moreover, you don't suppose that
j-ou alone can carry the fellow up here,
do you?"
We went out again Into the night and the
fog. Fresh from tho warmth of Sevrance'a
chambers. I shivered In the chill of the
oarly morning air. It was. ery cold, dark
and penetrat ng.
Sevranco opened the door, lighting a
match and peering In. Then he stepped
Inside and bent over, with his head to the
man's breast.
"You are right." he said presently. In a
guarded tone. "Your friend Is stabbed:
but he's alive and like to live for many a
long day 'f he manages to shake off the
effects f tho drug."
"Drug!" I cried.
"Drug," he reiterated. "The man Is not
drunk great heavens 1"
"What's the trouble?" I demanded,
alarmed.
He blew out the match.
"Here, glvo mo a hand with the fellow,"
he replied. "No words. We want to be
quick about this. I'll explain later."
He shifted the sleeper's feet toward me,
and I got them In a firm grasp. With some
trouble we managed to lift him from the
carriage. The swaying of It relieved me of
an embarrassment. Hardly had Sevrance
put both feet upon the ground when the
horse seemed to wake up, as If it, like Its
owner, had been snatching a brlefj alcoholic
nap.
incontinently It started off of Its own ao-i
cord. Sevrance, his arms clasped around
the body ot the unconscious man. turned
and gazed after the anlehlng coupe. Be
fore I could really comprehend what was
taking place, it was swallowed up by the
fog.
