Then, tak: As he turned away, after raising his hat, he felt compelled to look back â€"that girl‘s voice haunted him. He muttered an apology to the porâ€" ter. "Sorr, to keep you . waiting." "That‘s all right, sir. Very plucky of you to have done what you did just now." Crane laughed the compliment off, and walked ahead of the porter into the entrance h.all of the big hotel. She sighed, evidently endeavoring to pull herself together. "Oh, yesâ€"quite." "Can I get you anything?" "No, thanks, reallyâ€"I‘m quite all right." ~She held out a small gloved hand. "Thank you againâ€"ever so much." She seemed so small, standing in tre. midst of that great railway terâ€" minus, with the crowds hurrying by, that he had a reYuc‘:sfee to leave her.

"I was just luckyâ€"that‘s all. Feeling all right now?" He did not know what to reply Taken on their surface value, of course, the words are ridiculous. It was inconceivable that anyone should wish to do an injury to such a charmâ€" ing creature. The statement was merely the reflex of the girl‘s quite natural hysteria, consequent upon the terrible shock she had sustained. Then, comprehensiofiréc;;l'r;ewl;éed to dawn in the brown eyes and she smilâ€" ed fointly at him. "How can I thank you?" she said in a low tone. A burst of spontancous cheering broke from the amazed crowd as he set the girl on her feet and endeavored to sovth her shattered nerves. A whisper came to him. "They meant to kill me!" Looking into aor face, he saw that it was white and shaken. The girl herseli was troembling. They watched him swoop down, pick up the girl, swerve violently as a great car missed therm. both by no more than a few inches, and carry her safely to the other side of the street. What happened afterwards, he, himâ€" self, was never able to recollect very clearly. But the cpectators saw this young man, who appeared, even on sight, to have such a winning personâ€" ality, fling his overcoat asideâ€"and rush into the roadway with the speed of an evenâ€"timer. As he did so, his whole body sudâ€" denly became rigid. A_ gir], carrying a suitcase in her right hand, had foolâ€" ishly attempted to cross the mae‘strom of traffic. In the middle of the road, she appeared to slip. ; . . It was all new. however, to Crane, «nd he stopped for a moment to watea the swift tide. On the right was a wide roadway leading out of the station, and alony this taxis and big cars were speeding at whet any sens‘bleâ€"minded person would have corsidered a dangerous pace. "Very weli. It doesn‘t matter very much, in any case." The two suitcases were taken from the rack, and, with his overcoat slurg over his left arm, the man who hai come t» London on a holiday proceec ed to walk i1 the wake of the porter up the stillâ€"thronged platform. "Couldn‘t do better than the Midâ€" Westeérn, sir" pointing to the great railway hote} adjoining the terminus. "Shall I take them overt" "Good Potel, is it?" * The porter‘s face showed a look of polite wornderment. & "One of the best in London, sir, the Midâ€"Western." "Anything in the ven, sir?" ""No. â€" Jus‘â€"these two suiteases." "Taxi, sir?" "Weil,"~ consideringâ€""I don‘t j know. I want an hotel." Feeling cramped. in every part of him, he flung:â€"open the carriage door, sprang on to the platform, and called: ‘"porter!" High above even the deafening claâ€" mor of the great terminus rose the cry; it ‘might have been an oldâ€"time battle chant. Men and women stopâ€" ped to look at the owner of that viri‘e voice. They saw a young man of athâ€" letiec build, goodâ€"looking, _ likeable, who seemed filled with the zest of life.

But that question ‘did not‘take l6ng to answer: The conâ€" Vietion came*like a thunderbolt that What had been" rummy before now became absolutéely uncanny! He felt he wanted to go to the washâ€"hand stand and apply cooling water to his fevered brow. Each letter had been written in ‘either a secret ‘code or Ingide each he found a single sheet of paper.:â€" There was no address, and no date, and the typewritten comâ€" munication, in every ~instance, was completely unintelligible, consisting of a jumble of figures spaced at regular intervals. Very rummy! Should he open them? Well, there was his name on the envelope,.© An overwhelming sense of curiosity made him take the plunge. The three enâ€" velopes were ripped quickly one after the other. Then, who could these letters be from? Rummy! Still, they were all undoubtedly adâ€" dressed to him. There was the typeâ€" written address: ~Philip Crane, Esq., â€" _ Midâ€"Western Hotel, * . London, S.W. 1. He pulled them ut wonderingly There was something very strange in this. To begin with, no oneâ€"himself includedâ€"had had the least idea that he would be putting i» at the Midâ€" Western,. Like everything else about his trip, he had allowed Fate to deâ€" cide. He had made 10 reservation at any hotel, leaving his choice to Chance upon arrival. Having unpackedâ€"what a lark to have all those cupboards: this might he a bridal suite; probably was!â€"he remembored the three letters with which he had been so mysteriously presented at the hotel office halfâ€"anâ€" hour before. & \ _ Then, lighting a pipeâ€"couldn‘t do anything without a pipeâ€"he proceedâ€" ed leisurely to unparck. He had not felt quite like this since his school days; come to that, he was very much like a kid on holiday! For a full fortnight, he vas going to forget everything about business, and just revel in unexpected pleasures. By ‘"unexpected," he meant things which might crop up on the spur of the moâ€" ment; he had no set programâ€"he was just going to let Life take hold of him and carsy him away where it would. Theatres, restaurants, a football match, perhaps, certainly some cineâ€" mas, andâ€"oh, well, anything that offered. He didn‘t care; he was ready to enjoy it all. He hadn‘t been in London for at least eight years, and this was going to be the time of his life! As he came to the decision, nis goodâ€"look:ing face was one broad grin. Having made a survey of his little kingdom, and found it very agreeably to his taste, he sat down in an easy chair and turned on the electric fire. Might as well make the best of things! he wouldn‘t de'prive them of the pleaâ€" sure. He had money enough to pay for it. _ "T‘m sure I shall." +â€"He intended the remark as a joke, for already he had seen that, instead of the single bedroom he had been going to take, this suite consisted of a bedroom, a sitting room and a bath room, all exâ€" tremely well furnished. "Thank you, sir." The man went before he could reâ€" cover from his surprise. But when the first agreeable shock was over, he started to laugh. Some mistake had been made, of courseâ€"but he was not going to do the rectifying! Why should he? A fellow doesn‘t win a thousand poundsâ€"heaven bless the "Daily Meteor"â€"every day of his life. It was through getting the "Meâ€" teor‘s" cheque that he had told his uncle he was going off to celebrate.‘ And what better place to celebrate a wonderful stroke of luck than Lonâ€" don? If the Midâ€"Western Hotel peoâ€" ple wanted to give him a private suite. "I hope you will find everything comfortable, Mr. Crane." Outside a door ®»n the second floor, the Boots stopped.
