Philip Crane, a young acroplane deâ€" ‘:'ner. in London on a holiday, saves gery Ferguson from death by snatchâ€" ing her from beneath a large car. On arrival at the Midâ€"Western Hotel, he is surprised to find a letter, written in code, addressed to him there. That g'filnl an unknown girl calls on him connection with the letter. Resoivst o see the adventure through, he goes with the girl~Judith Felstead, to see :.n named Stevensson, who is expectâ€" g the "crook" Crane. Stevensson crossed the ro»n and seated himsel* at a bureau. He was Just about to cpen a drawer whes the Joud peal of an =lsctric bell rang through the room. "Someons appears anxious to come In," he commented. At that momwent, Crane knew that he was in real danger. So far, this man had been fencing with him. That had been obvious. But now, the mask was partly off. Had that ring at the front door or wherever it was, been a gignal? He half turned to the door. "You‘re not going, Crane?" asked his host. What could he say? "If you‘ve got people comingâ€"" he fumbled. His brain was reeling. A friend ef his? A friend of the real Crane‘s that was. Then the masquerade would be exposed; he would be shown up. "Oh, it‘s only a friend of mineâ€"â€" and a friend of yours, if it comes to "You really must not go," continâ€" ued Stevensson; "I can‘t allow it. When an old friend likeâ€"" he smiled, and there was the very devil in is grinâ€" "â€"calls so unexpectedly, it would be churlish for you to leave. Stay there!" he snapped. Crane waited no longer.

EBut, before he could reach the door, this opened, and a man appeared. For this newcomer, although some years older, and carrying a far greatâ€" er air of sophistication, was the living image of himself! Philip stared at him in astonishâ€" ment. For a moment there was a tense silâ€" ence. Then this was broken by the sound of a laugh.

Perâ€" haps, he was able to reflect, his Rugby football was helping him out. He played serumâ€"half for Truro. He was soon on his feetâ€" and when he stood up, the revolver he had snatched from t hand of the servant was facing Stevensson. And the two men and the woman at whom the words were directed obeyed. ‘"Keep away, I warn you!" he shouted. His left hand fumbling with the door, he found the handle. One quick turn, and he was out on the steps of that solidâ€"looking suburban house which he knew now to be the headâ€" quarters of a dangerous gang of crimâ€" inals. A bang of the door, a few further flying footsteps, and he was in tha Bayswater Road. Chance now lent a hand. A taxiâ€" driver, noticing his haste, looked at him enquiringly. Philip gave the first address that came into his mind, a restaurant in Coventry Street. Wrenching open the door of the taxi, he stepped out on to the paveâ€" ment. "You!" she said, breathlessly, as he reached her side. "Yes," he repdied; adding quickly: "I‘ve got a taxi here. I want you to come with me. To talk. Why, you‘re "I‘m afraid," were the words that came trembling from her lips. > i11!" It was lateâ€"some time after midâ€" night. But what did this new Philip Crane care? This was London, not Truro. . . The prospect of escorting a strange woman he did not yet know were passed into the commonplace. He put a hand on her arm and she did not resist. Tea *# "Where now?" asked the taxiâ€"driver 24 cup milk 14 cup grated %si/'om the garoé}ls * ONTARIO ARCHIVEsS TORONTO in a surly tone. He had been afraid his fare was a bilker, and his temper had not fully recovered. x "Somewhere quiet," he was told; "somewhere where we can have a meal by ourselves, and be able to talk withâ€" out being overheard." The mechanical Jehu chewed the end of a luxuriant moustache. "W‘ot you want is Cima‘s, Greck Street," he said. And made a swerve such as only a London taxiâ€"driver can make. Five minutes later, a broadâ€"faced maitre d‘hotel, himself the proprietor of this little restaurant, was giving the couple a warm welcome. . "Somevair quiâ€"et?" he repeated; mais, oui; this way, monsieur." He preceded them up a narrow flight of stairs, and into a small room on the right that was evidently reserved for small and essentially private dinâ€" ner parties. "No one will:come here, monsieur. And nowâ€"?" producing a menu. "I leave everything to you." Once they were alone, the girl turnâ€" ed to him with a quick, impulsive gesâ€" ture. "I don‘t think I ought to have come with you," she said. "Why not?" "Becauseâ€"well, aren‘t you a perfect stranger?" With a quickness that might have startled his Truro friends, Crane held up a reproachf{ul finger. _ _ e The next moment he was sorry he had uttered the words, because a shudâ€" der passed through the girl‘s slim body. Instinctively, he put out his arm and drew her to him in a protecâ€" tive way. "How can you say that?" he said "This is the second time we‘ve met.‘ "Yes," came the faltering answor. "I‘m sorry I forgot. But I didn‘t mean it that way. I meart. . . ." Looking up into his face, she nodâ€" ded. Then, and before another word could be uttered, the waiter entered carrying the first course of the late supper. "It doesn‘t matter," he said. "You‘re here, and I‘ve been given a second opâ€" portunity of talking to you. Won‘t you be content with that?" Crane was developing observatior. He noticed during the meal that the girl, in spite of her evident fear, ate as though food for some time past had been a stranger to her. He wonâ€" dered at it; and, wondering, was given the explanation. "This is the first meal I have had toâ€"day," she said. "If I am ravenous you must forgive me." He laid down his knife and fork and, reaching over the table, touched her haad. "You can trust me," he said. "I want to help you. I am determined to help you. Won‘t you tell me your story?" "Yesâ€"but especially the part which has made you afraid. . . . But, first of all, drink another glass of wine." He filled her glass with Burgundy, and waited until she lifted it to her lips. "But I come from Truro," he reâ€" plied, hoping that the feeble jest would bring a second smile to her lips. _‘"Yes, I came up today on a holiâ€" «day." Her face became blanched. "You must go back," she said; "you must not stay in Londonâ€"at leas:, you musn‘t be seen with me." "But that‘s all rubbish!" "No!" And this time it was her hand that reached across the table. "It‘s a matter of life and death. You saw that for yourself this morning. . . That man meant to kill me!" » ‘‘More," he urged; "it will do you good; bring back the color to your cheeks." It was with a little shaky laugh that she laid the glass down. "I didn‘t believe I should ever meet a man like you," she told him; "I didn‘t believe there was one left in the whole of London." it?" He wondered if he should tell her; and then decided that he would. ""London is a wonderful place," h> said; "you would scarcely believe me.

The vygies and iceâ€"plants mix and mingle their colors in barbaric splenâ€" dor; pure carmine, rich bronze, lemon and orange, cream and white.
