"It doesn't sound like ] much of an idea until you follow it out. Would you like to have me ex- j plain it to you?" i "Oh, ce?certainly." ' "Well, it all hangs on an invention of my own?an attachment to the or- ' dinary taximeter of a miniature map j of N'ew York and vicinity and a sort ] of wismic-needle affair. You set the ] needle on the point in the map corre- ( spondi'ig to where the cab starts from < in?er?real life. Wherever the cab ( goes, the needle shows the route in red j ink on the map, with a time signal of how long it stopped at any given house, park, store?er?et cetera. Do you begin to get the idea?" ! "N?no," said Miss Thornton. "Just think a minute. Tired old couple of conventional ideas and actually beyond the age of dancing are j in hnrrnr of sitting UO all night Watch- j ing daughter have a good time. Send her in one of my cabs; the ink-route will show just how straight she went to the party, how long she stayed, and how she came back. I forgot to mention the dictograph attachment In every vehicle. Take another case: Man married to a pretty and very young wife. Can't you hear him say, 'Yes, my d-d-dear; you can go anywhere if you'll take a Chaperoned ? Cab?'" i "No, I can't," said Miss Thornton 1 decisively, and stared meaningly at the clock, as though she were worry- : ing over her next engagement Mr. Randolph flushed, rose hastily, j and possessed himself of hat, stick and i gloves. "I mustn't keep you," he said, "I've got an appointment in about five minutes myself." She rose, an absent-minded look in her eyes, and accompanied him to the i door of the room. He opened it and took his hand from the knob to shake good-by. Her hand reached out toward his listlessly, as though it had become infected with the selfsame < droop that had assailed the corners of her lips. "May I?er?call again?" ( "XT/-. ?" Pornolo cna fplipd hnpl? ( HU X UJ.UV iu, VVXVVft her hand, threw both arms up against 1 the doorjamb, dropped her curly head 1 upon them, and burst into tears. T Mr. Randolph's platinum-headed ( cane fell with a clatter; his gloves * fluttered to the floor, and his new top * hat, emitting a clucking, mirthful sound, hurtled across the room. In * less time than it has taken to de- * scribe these simultaneous events, he 5 . \ had seized the sobbing girl in his arms 1 and was babbling as follows: 1 "Miss Tho?Pamela?Pam, you * dearest and sweetest of all the little women in the world! Oh, darling, 1 don't cry; but if you must, then cry 1 on me?so! That's right, my precious; * put your arms round my neck and ( hold me close. S?strangle me, b? 1 but never, never let me go." 1 He stooped gradually, picked her up, 1 and made for the couch. Just before * he got there, he reached a small , prayer rug of Persian design and of great value, one of many such oases In the la"ge expanse of beautifully waxed flooring. The specified iug c seemed to take .sudden offense at 2Ir. 1 Randolph's rude footfall. It took to * itself wings and flew from under hitn. The crash of two of the choicest bits of Manhattan's humanity was terrific. Above the din of scattering furniture could be heard the peal of a girl's clear laughter, and presently a voice h ringing merrily through half-swal- o lowed sobs: 0 "M?my?what a b?bump!" d They sat on the floor, face to face, ^ and matched a treble: "Ha! Ha I Ha!" with a heavy male: "Haw! Haw! Haw!" The terrified Tomlinson burst in upon the scene and there are twenty-six adjectives that would have fitted the look on his countenance, the first five p being "astounded," "scandalized," "amazed." "deprecating," "appalled." "M?Master Robert! M?Miss Imogen e !" Pamela pointed one finger at him weakly, and was off again to tumble j down another cascade of laughter. Tomlinson shook his solemn head from I side to side in a grieved and palsied motion. "Such doings! I never?no?I never!" I "Tomlinson is right," said Mr. Ran- c dolph solemnly, as he rose and helped j Pamela to her feet. "I consider this 1 the most astonishing sample of de- ? portment that has come to my immedi- T ate attention for?for ten years." He t turned to the unmollified servitor, i "Tomlinson," he continued, still sup- t porting the laughter-weakened Pamela with one arm, "I think it is due you to explain that Miss Thornton and I were merely rehearsing, or, rather reviving the occasion of our first meeting. It was sitting just as you found j us that we first made each other's acquaintance a decade ago, except that the encounter took place on the western sidewalk of Fifth avenue at about the corner of Forty-eighth street. I j . trust that this information will clear | up all doubts in your mind as to our j sanity, and that you will now leave us to the settlement of certain per- 1 sonal affairs of great moment." i < Tomlinson withdrew, still shaking j J his old head from side to side, and j mumbling his opinion that the expla- j nation, far from condoning an affront j to what had once been an orderly es- j tablishment, was in the nature of a plant on his credulity. No sooner had ; he closed the door softly but firmly !< on the scene of wreckage than Mr. Randolph turned all his attention to i the, lady in his arms.. After a few moments, he laid his lands on her shoulders, held her it arm's length, and forced her eyes to a long and breathlessly solemn neeting with his own. <4Mv dear girl,** le continued, "when I came here this ifternoon, the sudden bloom of your ->eauty swept me off my usually consent mental bearings.
