Turning on bis heel he walked up the street Kitty was not in the dining 5a) the next morning, nor the next, nor the next. Carton's uneasiness in- creased from day to day. To what desperate measures had he forced her? Or perhaps she was ill? Either alternative was disquieting At length he resolved to consult one of the waitresess It was near the end of the dining hour. and the room was free from! guests The waitresses congregated | in little knots, talking. To his dis- turbed conscience they seemed to! watch him furtively. Plucking up his courage, he beckoned to the nearest | one | "Where Is Kitty Ralton?" 'She has gone away."
