CHAPTER IX-—Continued —12^ She went across the room to a small closet. Even in the strain of the movement he observed the ex traordinary grace and swiftness of her movements. She was very slender, very lithe, and she moved like a flash of light. "Fancy my being canght without a lemon!” she scoffed, as she returned with the fruit. "Your brain-work stops abruptly sometimes, doesn’t It?” She handed him the lemons with a little gesture expressing amusement, triumph and a dash of coquetry. Lau rie's eyes glowed as he looked at her. For the second time, In her actual presence, a sharp thrill shot through him. Oh, If she were always like this!—gay, happy, without that in credible, unbelievable background of tragedy and mystery! He turned his mind resolutely from the intruding thought. This hour at least was hers and his. It should be prolonged to the last moment. What he longed for was to bear her talk, but that way, he knew, lay dis aster to the little supper in swlft- returnlng memory. If she begjln to talk, the forbidden topic, now dor mant, would uncoil Its hideous length and hiss. He must hold her attention to other things. He plunged at random into chatter. For the first time he toid her about Bangs, his chum, and about Epstein, their manager; about their plays and their experiences in rehearsals and on the road. Being very young and slightly spoiled, he experienced some chagrin In the discovery that she seemed alike Ignorant of the men and the plays. Worse yet, she seemed not even aware that she should have known who Bangs and Epstein were. She did not recall having heard the title of ‘‘The Black Pearl.” She was not only unaware that "The Man Above” had broken all box-office rec ords; she seemed unconscious that It had ever been written. Observing his artless surprise, she gravely ex plained. "I havj been interested In other things,” she reminded him. ‘ The forbidden topic was stirring, stretching. To quiet it, Laurie leaped Into the comedy scenes of “The Man Abovii" They delighted her. Her soft, delicious laughter moved him to give her bits from “The Black Pearl,” and, following the.se, the big scenes from the latter play. This last effort followed the supper; and Laurie, now In hl9s^ highest spirits, added to his effects I by the use of a brilliant af- gban, ai\d by much raising and lower ing of the light of the reading lamp. He was a fine mimic. He became by turns the star, the leading lady, the comedian and the "heavy” of the big play. It was only when he had stopped for a - moment’s rest, and Doris de manded a description of the leading lady’s gowns, now represented by the afghan, that his Ingenuity failed. “They’re so beautiful that most people think I made them,” he said, serenely. “But I didn’t, really, so I can’t give you any details, except that they’re very close-fitting around the feet.” By ELIZABETH JORDAN by Tba CmitiuT Company.) WNU0WV1O* for the elevator. “I don’t blame her. 'Tve been a perfectly good reed ever since I met her friend Bertie,” ^ •^His thoughts, thus drawn to Shaw., dwelt on that 'ophidian personality. When'the elevator arrived he was glad to recognize the familiar face of Sam. “Yaas, sah,” that youth affably ex plained, with a radiant exhibition of teeth, “It's Henry’s night off, so I has' to be on.” They were alone In the car. Laurie, lighting a cigarette, asked a casual question. “There’s a plump person In blue serge who hangs 'around here a good deal,” he remarked, indiffereiitly. "Does he live In the building?” “The one wld eyes what sticks out?” “That’s the one.” Sam’s jaw set. “No, sah, dat party don’ live yere. An’ ef he don’ stop bangin’ ’round yere, somethin’s gwlne t’ happen to dat man,” he robustly asserted. “What's he after?” "I dunno. I only seen him twlcet. Las' time he was sneakin’ fum de top flo’. But I cert’n’y don’ like dat man’s looks!” Nothing more was to be learned from Sam. Laurie thoughtfully walked out Into the square. He had taken not more than a dozen steps when a voice, strange yet unpleasantly famil iar, accosted him. • “Good evening, Mr. Devon,” It said. Laurie turned sharply. Herbert Ransome Shaw was walking at his side, which was as It should be.

From the street below the sound of a whistle came up to him, sharp and penetrating, repeating over and over the same musical phrase, the opening notes of the Fifth Symphony. At first he thought the notes were whistled hy some casual passer by. Then, glanc ing at the girl’s face, he knew better. The sharp, recurrent phrase was a signal. He flni.shed folding the afghan, and carefully replaced It on the divan from which he had borrowed it. As he did so, he prattled on. He had sud denly decided not to hear that signal. Dor’s, sitting transfixed and staring at him, slowly became convinced that he had not heard It. H^glanced at his watch. "A shocking hour!” he ejaculated. “Ten o’clock. If I go now, may I come back for breakfast?” “You 4fiay not.” She made an effort to speak lightly. “To take yon to luncheon, then, at one?” “No, please.” He shook his head at her. "This Is not the atmospherq’of hos pitality I am used to, but I shall come anyway. I'll be here at one. In the meantime, I suddenly realize that we are not using all our opportunities We n^ust change that.” He looked around as he sppke, and, finding what he sought, picked It up. It was a small scarf, a narrow bit of Roman silk carrying a vivid stripe. He held this before her. “Something may happen some day, and you may want me In s hurry,” he said. "I have observed with regret that you have no telephone in this room, but we can get on without one. My mirror reflects yoiir window; you know,” hfe added a little self-con sciously. "If you need me, hang up this scarf. Just drape It over this big window catch. If I evef see It, I’ll come prancing qcross the square like a "knight to your rescue.” “'rhank you.” She gave him her hand and the enig matic smile that always subtly but In tensely annoyed him. There was something in that smile which he did not understand, but he suspected that it bdd an element of amused under-' standing.

"It is to have a few words that I am here.” > “Where can^e'goT” Shaw appeared to reflect. “Do you mind coming to my rooms? ’ Laurie hesitated. “I live quite near, and my quarters, though plain, are comfortable.” Anger surged up In the young man beside him. There wap something al most Insulting as he uttered the harm less words, an(^ In the reassuring j'et doubtful Intonation of his voice. “Confound him!” Laurie told him self. “The hound is actually hinting that I’m afraid to go!” Aloud, he said brusquely, “All right.” “You have five minutes to spare? That’s capital!” Shaw was clearly both surprised and pleased. He strode forward with short steps, rapjd yet polseless, and Laurie adapted hls longer stride to liis companion’s. He, too. was content. Now, at last, he reflected, he was through with mysteries, and was com ing to a grip with something tangible. The walk was not the brief excur sion Herbert Ransome Shaw had promised. It was fifteen minutes be fore he stopped In front of a tall build ing. which looked like an out-of-date storehouse, and thrust a latchkey into a dingy door. The bolt was old and rusty. Shaw fumbled with it for half a minute before yielded. Then It grudgingly slipped back, and Laurie follou'ed his guide Into a dark hall, which was cold and damp. “They don’t heat this buldling.” The voice of Sliaw came out of the dark ness. He had closed the door and was stanfiing by Laurie’s slclfe^fumbling in hls pocket for something which proved to be a matchbox. "They don’t light It, either,” he explained, unnecessarily, as the blaze of hls match made a mo mentary break in the gloom. "But It’s quite comfortable In my room,” he added reassuringly. ‘T have an open fire there.” As he spoke he led the way down the long hall with his noiseless, gild ing steps. Laurie, following close be hind him, reflected that the place was exactly the sort the ophidian Shaw would choose for a lair, a long, black hole, ending in—what? The matcb had gone ont and he could see nothing. He kept close to his guide. He almost expected to hear the creature’s scales rattle as it slid along. But snakes like warmth, and this place—Laurie shivered in the chill and dampness of it. The next instant Shaw pushed open a^dooE„and. stand ing back, wa^d'ISis guest Into^llght- ed room. Oi^ first Inspection It was a wholly reassuring room, originally Intended for an office and now turned Into a combination of office and living apart ment A big reading lamp with an amber shade, standing on a flat writ ing desk, made a pleasant point of illu mination. Real logs, large and well seasoned, burned with an agreeable crackle In the old-fasliloned fireplace. Before this stood two easy chairs, comfortably shabby; and at the arm of one of them a small table held a decanter, glasses, a siphon and a box of cigars. . As he took In these familiar details. -Devon’s features unconsciously re laxed. He was very young, and rather cold, and the quick reaction from the emotions he had experienced In the outer hall was a relief. Also, Shaw’s manner was as reassuring as hls homely room. He dropped the visi tor’s coat and hat on a worn leather couch, which seemingly served him as a bed, and waved a hospitable hand toward an easy chair. Simultaneously he casually Indicated a figure bend ing over a table on the opposite side of the room. “My secretary,” he murmured. The figure at the table rose and bowed, then sat down again and con tinued its apparent occupation of sorting squares of pa^^Unto a long, narrow box. Laurie mentally classified the “sec retary” as a big but meek blond per son, who changed hls collars and cuffs every Wednesday and Sunday, and took a long walk in the country on Sunday afternoons. However, the fellow had pursuing eyes. Evidently his work did not need hls whole attention, for his pale blue eyes kept returning to the guest. Once Laurie met them straight, and coolly stared them down. After this they pursued him more stealthily He soon -forgot them and their owner. Despite Shaw’s hospitable gestures, Laurie was still standing. He had chosen a place by the mantel, with one elbow resting upon it; and from this point of vantage hls black eyes slowly swept the room, taking ii^ now all Its details—a typewriter, a letter file,.g waste-paper basket that needed emptying, a man’s worn bedroom slip per coyly projecting from under the leather couch, a litter of newspapers. It was all so reassuringly ordinary that he grinned to himself. Whatever hold this little worm had on Doris— Shaw had even ceased to be a snake at this point In Laurie’s reflections— would be loosed after tonight; and then she could forget the episode that had troubled her, whatever It was. At precisely this point In hls medi tations Laurie’s e.ves, having complet ed a tour of the room and returned to the fireplace, made two discoveries. The first was that tlie room had no windows. The second, and startling one, was that it contained Doris’ pho tograph. The photograph stood on the mantel, in a heavy silver frame, ft was a large print and a'good one. The girl’s eyes looked straight Into hls. Her wonderful upper lip was curved In the half-smile that was so familiar and so baffling. “Well,” the smile asked, "what do j'ou think of it all, now that you are here? Still a bit confusing. Isn’t it? For you didn't expect to find me here, seemingly so much at home; did you?” In the instant when his eyes had found the photograph Laurie had been about to light the Inevitable cigarette. The discovery arrested hls hand and held for an instant, motionless. Then, with fingers that trembled, he com pleted the interrupted action, threw the match Into the fire, and with blind eyes stared down Into the flames. In that Instant he dared not look at Shaw. He was shaken by an emo tion that left him breathless and al most trembling. What was Doris’ pho tograph doing In this man’s room? In ; the moi^tary amazemeot and fory that overwhelmed him at the discov ery he told himselfvtbat It would not have been mncb worse to find her real pre.sence here. All this had taken but a moment. Shaw, hospitably busy with hls decan ter and siphon, had ased the interval to fill two glasses, and was now offer ing one to hls guest. "No, thanks.” Laurie spoke with abrupt decision. “No?” Shaw looked pained. Then he smiled a wide smile, anff Laurie, seeing It and the man’s pointed teeth, mentally changed him again from the worm to the sen'cnt. He understood Shaw’s mental process. The fellow thought he was afraid to drink tha mixture. But what did it matter what the fellow thought? “Perhaps, then, you will have a cigar and sit down comfortably for, our chat?” Shaw himself .set the example by dropping Into one of the easy chairs and lighting a perfecto. Hls smooth brown head rested In what seemed an accustomed hollow of the chair back. Hls wide, thin lips were pursed in sybaritic enjoyment of hls cigar. He stretched : himself In the warmth of the fire, sleek, torpid and loathsome. ' “Mr. Shaw." "Y-e-s.” Still standing, with hls ^bow braced against the mantel, the visitor tossed hls cigarette Into the fire and looked down Into hls host's projecting eyes. It appeared that Shaw roused himself with dlfflcu^y from the gorged com fort of th6 moment. There was a per ceptible Interval before he gave hls giiest lils^hole attention. Then he straightened in his chair, and the pro jecting eyes took on their veiled but watchful look. “Yes," he repeated, more briskly. In the brief Interval Laurie had planned hls little campaign. He would address this creature as man to man; for perhaps, after all. there was more of the man In him than he revealed. "I am going to ask you to be frank with me.” “Yes?” Shaw let It go at that. "When we met on the street it ap peared that you were as anxious as I am for this Interview. Will you tell me n^ once why you brought me here, and what you wish to say?” ‘‘Willingly.” Shaw flicked the ash off hls cigar, and kept hls eyes on Its lighted end as he went on: “I brought you here because I want you out of the way.” “Why?” “Because, my temperamental young friend, you are a nuisance. You are interfering with my- plans, I can’t be bothered with you.” The sudden spark that in the old days would have warned Devon's friends of an Impending outburst ap peared now In his black eyes, but he kept hls temper. “Would you mind confiding these plans to me?” he suggested. "They would interest me, profoundly.” Shaw shook hfs brown head. “Oh, I couldn’t do that,” he said, with an indulgent smile. "But I have a proposition to make to you. Per haps you will listen to It. Instead.” "I’ll listen to it,” Laurie promised. "It is short and to the point. Give me youF word that you will stop med dling in Miss Mayo’s affairs, which are also my affairs.” he added paren thetically, "and that you will never make an effort to see her again. As soon as you have given me this prom ise I win escort you to the front door and bid you an eternal farewell, with great pleasure.” „ “I’m looking forward to that pleas ure, myself,” confessed the visitor. •‘But before we throw ourselves into the delights of it, suppose you outline the other side of your proposition. I suppose it has another side.” Shaw frowned at hls cigar. “it doesn’t sound pretty,” he con fessed, with regret. "I’ll judge of that. Let’s have It.” “Well"—Shaw sighed, dropped the cigar into the tray, at his elbow and sat up to face the young man with an entire change of manner—“the rest of it,” he said calmly, “is this. Unless you make that promise we can’t have the farewell scene we are both looking forward to so eagerly.” (TO BB CONTINUED.)
