John had been In Xew York scores of times and had always been looking about, but he had never seen her. He had never hoped to more than see her, because' It bad been a Anal farewell when the girl, in passionate tears, told him there was no way out of the mar riage that her ambitious, desperately financiering mother had arranged with the son of a millionaire.
