and approached tha car.

The young man called Shadow re
turned te, the hotel veranda and watched
the red tall light until a bend in the
read shut in behind It. Queer old bird ;
something loony about him. for all bis
intellect. What waa bis game, anybjw?
And what Dart in the cast had this
peer country boob and his money? Well,

and It 'didn't pay te question or cress

Yee, sir; a queer old bird. Every
matinee day you'd find him In 'the
oddly into the faces of the women the
young ones. Nothing raw about the
way be did it; mere like a painter
seeking a special model. Once he had
taken the liberty te quia the old boy.
"What are you hunting .for. nrefes
ser?"
"A smile."
"Why, you're getting 'am right and
left!" '
"But net the one I eeek. Shadow."
There was the emerald company,
tee. All en the level, net a nail out
of plumb; really dug up emeralds and
sold them. But ever against this, the
Great Adventure Company, which wae
about as logical as the old Geerge W.
Perpetual Motion; and there wasn't
ene chance in a million of this boob here
falling for jt. And what was going te
happen if he did sign the contract?
Seme feel movie stuff? Well, well; his
job was te watch friend Veremlah,
and watch blm be would, from pan
cakes te prayers.
Meantime, there could be no harm In
convincing a certain village smarty that
kelly peel was an art all by itself.
Humming a popular air, the Shadow
re-entered the hotel.
The professor evidently known aa
such by bis few Intimates arrived In
New Yerk at twelve. He turned the car
into a garage and took the elevated down
town te Fourteenth street. Eventually
he turned Inte Twelfth street and en
tered an apartment house. The apart
ment consisted of three rooms with
bath. The furniture was comfortable
and substantial, but the lack of style
and uniformity Intimated that these
objects had been purchased Indifferently.
The living room was lined with book
shelves, but the books were battered
and soiled from passage after passage
through second-band bookshops. There
were no pictures en the walls, no photo-
grapus. i
The Adventurer at Heme
The occupant, having no servant, pro
ceeded te make himself a cup of tea,
which he drank thoughtfully. He get
out of his clothes, but abstractedly,
which resulted in a disorder of their
placement. All this while there bad
been no expression en his lean, hand
some face te imply that he considered
his business in the country a success
or a failure, but he swung himself
iqte bed heavily, after the fashion of
a man weary in mind and body.
He turned en the reading light and
reached for the book en the bad-stand.
It was Burten's "The Anatomy of
Melancholy." He opened the volume at
the marker, and began te read; ana
seen became absorbed in thla remark
able analysis of mental depression.
Sometimes we seek books, net in Idle
amusement, but In hope that wa may
find soma example which will cither
excuse our conduct or cure it.
At 1 o'clock the young woman with
the Jaipur box came te the deer of a
brick dwelling with marble ateps and
window-ledges, in Ninth street. With
no bound beyond the opening and closing
click of the latch, ahe tiptoed into tne
hall and up the firat flight of stairs,
and let herself into a room which faced
the yards. She closed the deer and
turned en the light simultaneously.
A Pekingese puppy, gray-brlndle.
black of face, with a coat se fine and
thick and soft that it rivaled spun silk,
dashed toward her with such expression
of joy and welcome and loye-madne
that the girl fell upon her knees, swept
the puppy te her threat, and rocked
with him.
"Hush, huabl" she whispered, te still
the puppy's whimpering, "Shi Ob,
Ling Foe, Ling Foel What shall I
de? I can't give you up, and I can't
leave thla place I'm ae un
happy! I'm nobody; I don't belong!"
She set the puppy .down, picked up
the Jaipur box and rose. She gated
about, questioning mute'- her trunk, the
bureau and the wall-stand. After all,
it did net matter where ahe put the
box; there was nothing within it of
monetary value, while the box itself
was llke dozens she bad seen in the
Fourth avenue shops. It might be
worth five dollars, no mera. She de
cided upon the wall-stand, and placsd
the box there.
Next, she began te prepare for the
puppy a dish of condensed milk diluted
with warm water, which she heated
ever an alcohol burner; and whlla the
puppy satisfied Its thirst and hunger,
the girl, let down the folding-bed and
freshened the pillows.
Tha room was large, with a clothes
press of satisfying dimensions. There
was no suggestion of luxury, but all
the furnishings Intimated comfort and
excellent feminine taste. There wae a
grand piano by ene of the windows, and
the top of this waa littered with songs
and opera scores.
Ling Foe, new drowsy with comfort,
sat up and begged te he put te bed,
The girl smiled. He was ae funu.
He was worth a hundred miles 'of mud
and rain. He defied melancholy; he
was irreclstlbly an optimist, and his
optimism was contagious. Se she nest
led hint between the pillows, whence
he eyed her contentedly, with an occa
sional wag af tha tall aa she moved
about
