"Silk underwear!" exclaimed Mr.
Randolph, mystified and interested in
spite of himself.
"Of course you couldn't understand
that," she said, "not unless you had
seen some poor girl bury her face in
crepe de chine and lace, tremble to try
them on, and then sob because she had
to wear clothes over them."
"Look here," said Mr. Randolph,
shuddering at the pity of it: "we'll
pass on to the next, if you don't mind."
"Curiosity comes next," resumed the
girl obediently. "A woman is weak
until she knows everything. Then
comes a funny one that you won't understand
at all. It's called 'Because.'
'Because he had on a coat th$t reminded
her of an old coat that a man
she had loved used to wear.'"
"My dear girl?" protested Mr. Randolph.
"I said they weren't interesting,"
. she reminded him dispassionately. Her
eyes widened. "And now," she continued.
"we go up and up?spite that
stabs its own heart; the lonely soul;
consuming fire, and. last and greatest
reason of all, just love." Her eyes
glowed to some distant focus. "If all
myself, my honor, my past, and my
future dissolve to the single drop of a
present moment in the crystal cup of
love, then let me give myself to a
lover's lips for, once drained, nothing
will be left upon which to hang the
badge of shame?nothing remain in
all the world but the spirit and?and
the sacrifice."
"Girl," said Mr. Randolph, crushing
her to him as though he snatched her
back from just beyond his clasp,
"where is your mind wandering? What
have you been thinking? That I was
asking you to?to give yourself to
me?"
Her eyes came suddenly to his face.
"Yes," she said; "I thought that."
He stared at her for a long silent moment,
his lips wavering nervously between
pity and severity. A flush
swept over her face, and into her eyes
crept a look of fear. "You don't want
me?" she whispered; then, as he did
not speak: "Kiss me. I wish you to
kiss me."
There was something in her insistence
that clutched at his heart and
bent him forward. He drew her head
up slowly to meet his lips and kissed
her as lightly, as impersonally as
brother ever saluted sister, but far
more fearfully. Immediately her body
went limp in his arms, turned to a
dead weight of uninspired flesh.
"It is true." she murmured, desperately.
"You don't really want me
and I can never love you now."
Randolph awoke to that still cry.
He shook her, seized her head in both
his hands, and forced her eyes to meet
the blaze in his.
"You generous, careless, adorable
little fool!" he growled. "Why, you're
the most desirable and precious bundle
of lovable charm that robber man
ever trembled to hold in sacrilegious
arms!"
She stared at him amazed.
"Why don't you kiss the way you
talk?" she demanded.
"Because there's no reason for your
desperate barter, my dear Imogene
Pamela Thornton."
In one lithe motion she was out of
his arms, on* her feet, back to the fire,
head upthrown.
"How dare ybu?how dare you call
,me by that name?" She was transformed;
her eyes flashed with such a
light as made the blaze in his own a
paltry thing. "Do you think she would
lie in your arms?" She asked, gulping
out the words. "Ylvienne Vivierre"?
her lips curled In distaste at the name
?"ah, yes; poor despairing thing! But
I?Pamela ThoFnton! Oh, who are
you? Why did you?" She dropped
her face in her hands and sobbed as
though her heart had broken.
Randolph did not leap to comfort
her this time; he did not even watch
her. With his eyes on the edges of
fire that peeped from between and
round her ankles, he began to talk.
"I knew you: I knew Sport; I knew
Maggie. Just once I met you all. and
I've never forgotten. I couldn't." He
smiled crookedly. "You and I sat down
so hard together and you cried out,
"My, what a bump!* and laughed and
laughed?just like tonight, back there
at the stage-door of the Crocodile."
Pamela stopped crying.
"So you were that awfully nice
boy," she said, disclosing tear-stained
cheeks and looking him over as though
she were inventorying a long list of
points of deterioration.
Robert Hervev Randolph, six feet
tall, freckled-nosed, open-faced, blueeyed
and broad-shouldered, looked up
at her almost appealingly as if his
whole sum and substance were crying
out to be appraised at face value but
no less.
"That's me," he said vapidly. "My
name is Robert Hervey Randolph.
Some people call me 'Bob,' some
'Herv,' and the sldey ones say
'Randy.'"
"And I shall call you 'Mr. Randolph,"'
said Miss Thornton bravely,
and then broke into: "After?after
I've th?thanked you again and?and
again from my heart. I'm going now."
"That's a wrong guess," said Robert,
Rmilin? hnnnilv?he didn't know exact
? o 1 * '
ly why. "I'm the one that's going, after
you promise me that you'll stay
here untii ten o'clock tomorrow. But
before we come to that, please don't
thank me ever. It's selfish, but I'd
simply love to have you remember me
as Bob or Herv or. at the very worst,
Randy. Won't you?"
She looked this way and that before
she let her face ripple to its wondrous
smile.
"I'll go as far as Randy," she conceded
mischievously; then the smile
yent and the shadow came. "But I
really can't stay here, you know."
Mr. Randolph leaped to his feet,
reached her in a single stride and
caught her by both wrists. "Look at
t rug, wrapped himself in its warm
folds, curled up on the seat and went
to sleep.
In the cold early morning the strong
arm of the Law reached in and dragged
him back from the Elysian fields
where he had been wandering hand in
hand with a lovely person dressed in
a little velvet toque and very cheap
clothes.
"Here, you !" said the voice of the
Law. "Don't you know you can't put
up a hotel in this burg without a license?
Wot the?"
"Morning, Officer," said Randolph,
trying his best to be pleasant. "I'm
waiting for my fare. Any regulation
against that?"
"Don't puli that stuff on me," said
the Law. "This ain't the Tenderloin."
"I know it isn't," remarked Mr. Randolph.
"But I happen to be waiting

"Don't Pull That Stuff on Me," Said
the Law.
for Mr. Borden Milyuns, of Milyuns,
Branch & Milyuns. Ever heard of
him?"
"Sure," said the cop, impressed but
still suspicious. "He lives here all
right, but I ain't seen him turning
down his own cars for night-hawks
lately."
"Well," said Mr. Randolph, "I could
tease you along for some time and
make you look like a nut, but I won't.
The truth is, his prize bitch. Bride of
Lammermoor, is pupping tonight, and
I'm here to take the lady and her litter
down to the dog-show in time to
get 'em settled for the opening. Messy
job, but the meter is charging for it."
"There ain't a man living that could
think up a lie like that, not sudden,"
murmured the officer, and turned to
resume his beat, while Mr. Kanaoipn
promptly hit the mat in the hope of
catching up with Elysium. He slept;
he slept too deep for dreams, and was
beyond the reach of the call of any
motorhorn when Mr. Milyuns' town
car tried to shoo him along at eightthirty
of a bright morning.
Once more was Mr. Randolph
dragged by main force to wakefulness.
"Good-morning, Thomas," he remarked.
"Is the old man up?"
"Hully gee! Mr, Randolph I What
'ave you been up to now?"
"None of yours, Thomas," said Robert
Hervey, in a kindly but firm voice.
"Get me a bit of paper and a pencil."
The chauffeur discovered the required
articles in Mr. Milyuns' car,
handed them over, and curiously
watched Mr. Randolph write his note
to the effect that Miss Imogene Pamela
Thornton would receive her legal
representative at Mr. Randolph's
rooms in Fifty-ninth street between
nine and ten. It was added that the
said rooms, upon which rent had been
paid to the end of the Quarter, and all
they contained, including the man,
Tomlinson, were at the perpetual disposition
of the said Miss T.
"Now, Thomas." said Mr. Randolph,
"you take this in to the old man himself
and tell him a chauffeur with an
empty cab brought it. If you say another
word I'll have you up at the
union for losing me my job, and I'll
lick the stuffings out of you besides.
Get me?"
"Sure thing, Mr. Randolph!" said
Thomas. "Leave it to me to help you
make trouble whenever y'ou feel like
it. It's a slow world except for the
likes of you."
As soon as the man had entered the
house, Mr. Randolph started his cab
and made for a point of vantage in
the park, from which, in due course,
he beheld the arrival of the lawyer at
Fifty-ninth street. He waited long
enough to make sure that the /egaJ
gentleman had penetrated to Miss
' * T il _ ^
Thornton; then ne tnrew up ms nag
and made for the garage.
He sought out the manager.
"Say," he plunged, "Pat O'Reilly
lost his job to me last night shooting
! craps. My clock read twenty-eight
; dollars this morning; here's my slip."
The manager glanced at the slip,
I and took a long look at Mr. Randolph.
| "You're on, kid," he decided. "Take
any shift you like. What's your
name?"
"Slim Hervey," said Mr. Randolph
promptly.
"One of them earned names," commented
the manager. "All right Go
! to it"
