"You mean Mr. Randolph?" asked [
Pamela, a little breathlessly.
The old man steadied himself by
seizing the door-jamb and bowed confirmation
of her supposition.
"I don't know where he is," said
Pamela, more calmly. "The last time
I saw him he was limping west." A
twinkle came into her eyes. "Why do
you ask?"
"Why do I ask?" he exclaimed.
"Miss, do you mind telling me who you
are and what you are doing in Mr.
Randolph's apartment at nine o'clock
on a Friday morning?"
"In November," supplemented Pamela,
as though she were supplying a
very important addition to the facts in
the cf.se. "I am Miss Thornton," she
added, with as much dignity as a
maiden, tumbled of hair, flushed of
cheek, and cuddled In s young man's

The effect of her words on Tomlinson
was electrical.
"Miss Imogene Pamela Thornton?"
he asked, as he suddenly straightened
and let go of his supports.
"Yes," said Pamela, gazing at him
in undisguised surprise. "How did
you know ?"
"Why, miss," said the old man, Tm
Tomlinson. Excuse me for saying so,"
he added, a pale flush in his withered
cheeks, "but many a time in the old
days Maggie let me take you on.my
knee. A mort of worry you have
given us, miss."
Quick tears rose to Pamela's eyes.
"Oh!" she cried. "You knew Maggie?"
"In a manner of speaking, I did," i
stated Tomlinson sonorously. "Kissed
her; but she never let me get as far
as hugging, poor girl! She said she
knew she wasn't here for long !
enough."
, Laughter bubbled into Pamela's eyes
alongside of the tears, but, in spite of
it, the next moment she was crying
softly.
"P-poor M-Maggie!" she sobbed.
Tomlinson bobbed his head up and
down in formal sympathy, too old to
worry much over woman's weeping.
"I understand that she must 'ave
went," he said. "Else you wouldn't be
alone, miss. Will you have your
breakfast in bed?"
"Oh, could I?" sniffed Pamela, and
then her eyes fell on the clock. "No,
I can't" she decided for herself. "You
see, Tomlinson, I only pro-promised to
stay unti1 ' m."
"I'll be getting your bath ready,
then, miss," said Tomlinson, and withdrew.
Half an hour later Pamela was en- .
joying a lonely "tray"-breakfast, placed
at her command before the couch, ?
which faced the friendly fire in the big
living-room. Without being a mindreader,
it is possible to surmise that 1
she ate very slowly, in the vain hope
that Mr. Randolph would pop in, with
or without Father Christmas, and
joining her in the meal, banish a baby
Mr. Gloom that was hanging round.
While she was still toying with her
food she heard the bell ring and Tomlinson's
voice saying, in deep, respect- 1
ful tones: "Miss Thornton will see you,
sir. She is in the sitting-room."
Pamela dropped her egg-spoon and
stood up, back to the fire, just in time
to face a neatly dressed, pink-cheeked,
bright-eyed, bald-headed little gentleman,
who stood, poised but alert, in 1
the open doorway, like a bird about
to peck at her to see if she were the !
real thing.
"Miss Thornton?" he asked, in a pe- 1
/mlinrlv linnirl vnipp
Pamela nodded her head twice.
""I am Mr. Borden Milyuns," continTied
the molten voice, and the bright '
eyes studied her face expectantly.
Pamela puckered her brows in an s
effort to meet that expectancy halfway,
but failed. '
"Are you?" she asked doubtfully,
and with a mental reservation against 1
Mr. Robert Hervey Randolph for out- ''
raging the traditions of childhood by
sending a Father Christmas in this 1
dapper form. "Won't you sit down?" *
she added politely.
Mr. Milyuns bung poised for a sec- 1
ond longer, and then advanced on the '
couch decisively, sat down on one end 4
of it, and waved his hand at the other. 1
Tomlinson slipped in and out, bearing
the breakfast-tray away. Pamela accepted
Mr. Milyuns' silent invitation j
and seated herself, but tentatively, as
though she could only stay for a minute.
x"Make
yourself comfortable, my
dear," said Mr. Milyuns; "I'm going to
talk to you for some time."
"You can't," said Pam; "not here. I
only have the flat for six minutes
longer. That is, I only pro-promised
to stay here until ten." Her eyes wandered
half expectantly, half wistfully 1
to the door.
The bird-man smiled.
"We'll see about that," he said. "I'm
sorry you don't remember me. If you
are indeed Miss Imogene Pamela
Thornton, I used to take you on my
knee often, many years ago."
Pamela could no longer be startled
by such announcements.
"That's what Tomlinson said this
morning," she remarked. "Ever since
last night, everybody I meet seems to
?to know my real name. I don't understand
it."
"Please trust me," said Mr. Milyuns,
"and you'll soon understand a lot more
than that." He drew a slip from his
pocket. "Now, do answer me careful- i
ly. Tell me the addresses of the first |
four places you and Maggie lived in j
after your fattier aiea."
"I can't remember the first," said
Pam, but, after a second's thought, j
rattled oft the names of three streets,
and located addresses approximately
by describing nearby corners prominent
to a child's mind for one reason
or another. "Those are the next
three," she said. "After that, we
went?"
But Mr. Milyuns was satisfied.
"That's enough for formalities, my
dear. I'm convinced that you are the
<
person for whom the firm of Milyuns,
Branch & Milyuns has been searching j
for years. Do you remember your ,
great-uncle, Asa Thornton?" ,
"Yes," said Pamela, a vague wonder j
and terror in her eyes; "but I didn't ]
know he was real."
" 'Didn't know he was real!'" exclaimed
Mr. Milyuns. "What do you .'
mean?" j
"Maggie used to say," explained ,
Pamela, " Tf you're not good, youi
great-uncle, Asa Thornton, will catch
you, and he hasn't cut his finger nails
since your poor father married your
dear mother.' " Pamela shuddered.
"You'll have to forget all that," said
Mr. Milyuns soberly. "Before your
great-uncle died, he repented very effectively
of the way he treated your
father, and left you an income of ten
thousand dollars a year."
Pamela sat up very straight, and
thon cnnlr slnwlv into the DillOWS at
her hack. |
" Ten ? thousand ? dollars ? a? i
year !" she repeated slowly.
Mr. Milyuns nodded.
"Beginning with today. There is no
accumulation waiting for you, because,
by the terms of the will, Mr.
Randolph was allowed the entire income
up to such time as you should be
t n
14 Ten ? Thousand ? Dollars ? a ?
Year!'" She Repeated Slowly.
discovered. That provision was quite
natural, if you will remember that Mr.
Asa Thornton had been searching for
you unsuccessfully for some months before
he died."
Pamela sat up straight again.
"I want to understand you," she
said with a sudden dignity that increased
Mr. Milyuns' admiration, already
decidedly on the upgrade. "You
mean that, with my appearance, Mr. ,
Randolph's entire income completely
disappears?" j
Mr. Milyuns nodded.
"You* have guessed it in one," he
said flippantly.
"I don't need ten thousand dollars
a year." said Pamela promptly. "You !
will please tell Mr. Randolph that I 1
shall only take half."
Mr. Milyuns smiled.
"I'll try to carry out your orders,"
he said blandly, "but I'll have to find
Mr. Randolph first. Let me add that
pou apparently don't know the young
gentleman very well."
"What do you mean by'that?" asked
Pam.
"Well," said Mr. Milyuns, taking another
scrap of paper from his pocket
and handing it to her, "read that. It
was left at my house this morning by
i taxi-cabman, who didn't wait for an
answer. You see that Mr. Randolph
has handed aver to you in perpetuity
this apartment, Tomlinson, and all the
other fixings. It doesn't look very much
is though he intended to come back in
the near future."
"But I want him to!" cried Pam.
T?I've been expecting him. I didn't
half?half thank him for?for?"
fears of disappointment clogged her
throat.
"There, there!" said Mr. Milyuns,
leaning over and letting her hand. "I
understand just how you feel, because
Bob is one of the straightest, openest,
most lovable young devils that ever
went his own way through a delighted
world."
Pamela nodded her head up and
down in. silent confirmation of all
those kind words. She began to like
Mr. Milyuns. She raised pleading eyes
to his face.
"Won't you please find him for me?"
"My dear," said Mr. Milyuns, so
promptly that if she had asked for the
house and lot on the northwest corner
of Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh
street, he would have promised it to
her before he could stop himself. "I will.
I haven't proved myself much good at
the game, but I'll find Bob for you if I I
have to start a detective agency of my 1
own. In the meantime, what are you |
going to do? I suggest that you accept j
these premises until the truant turns j
on?onlv of course, we must get you j
a companion."
"'A companion ?'" asked Miss
Thornton. "But I liave that already.
Tomlinson is a dear."
"Tomlinson is splendid in his way,"
admitted Mr. Milyuns, "but he isn't
quite a woman. Yom can't live here
chaperoned by a mere male."
"Can't I?" said Miss Thornton, with
a new edge to her voice and something
in her eyes that made them look as i
though they were passing in review j
