utes later he was in a crowded
Broadway car, bound up-town.
Waiting for the overdue special,
his worry took a new form. How
in the world was he to know Miss
Ruth Dent from anybody else? As
he heard the distant snort of an
engine he paced up and down the
platform, his lips dry. Slowly it
rumbled in, and the exodus began
—a kaleidoscope of figures, des-
cending, shifting hither and thither,
ind then darting off in the same
irection—toward the gates.
His usually fair face wore a grim
adow of something between re-
torse and anger; his eyes, wearied
i their effort to find the expectant
sne, turned helplessly up and down
in a vainly eager search. In des-
peration he approached a guard.
“Can you tell me,” he stammer-
ed—”do you know if a young lady
—I mean any kind of a lady—came
alone on this rtain from Chicago?"
“Couldn’t say,” the man snapped.
He was tired of answering imbecile
questions.

The guard grinned sympathetic-
ally. “Best way is to wear a red

He walked off briskly to inter-
view another guard, while Dalton,
breathing vengeance on his own
stupidity, waited.
And then, suddenly, among the
sparse few who still lingered he
caught sight of a girl—a very help-
