West, still attired in khukl uniform, but wearing the red chevron of honorable discharge on his left sleeve, ' sat in the club writing room, his fee* comfortably elevated, endeavoring t? extract some entertainment from the evening paper. The news was not particularly interesting, however, and finally, obsessed with the feeling ihut It would soon be time for him to seriously contemplate the procuring of suitable employment, the young man turned the sheet about rather Idly, am! ran his eyes down the columns devoted to classified advertising. Half way down the first column, under the head of "miscellaneous," he paused and read a paragraph with some Interest; then rend It over again, emitting a soft whistle between his teeth. "Well, by Jovel" he said to himself slowly, "That doeftn't sound so bad, ? either; out of the ordinary, at least. Say, Thompson," and he turned to a toll young fellow busily writing at the*.adjoining desk, and shoved the paper under his eyes, pointing at the paragraph which had attracted attention, with one finger, "What do you moke out of that, old man?" The other, rather sober-faced, and low of speech, read the advertisement word by word, with no change of expression. "Rot," he said solemnly. "Either a Joke, or some scheme on. Why? Interested in it?" "In a mensure, yes. I've a good mind to answer, and take a chance." I "You're a fool if you do, Matt," decisively, and turning back to his writing. "That is some game being pulled off. Likely as not It means blackmail. Resides there is no address." "That's one thing I like about It," retorted the other; "They are in earnest, and taking no chances of having their purpose guessed at. "By Jove, 1 don't see how any one can get in had, merely by finding out what it all means." , "Well, do as you please: you would anyhow. Only you have my advice." West read the Item again. He had been eighteen months in France, and his discharge from the army had left him bored and dissatisfied with the dull routine of civil life. He dreaded' to get back Into the harness of a I prosaic existence; even his profession as a civil engineer had someway lost Its charm. He had flnsted the joy of adventure, the thrill of danger, and It was still alluring. This advertisement promised a mystery which strangely attracted his Imagination. "Wanted: Young man of education and daring for service involvlng some personal peril. Good pay, and ipiusual rewnrd If suecessful. May have to leave city. Purpose disclosed only in personal interview." As Thompson had pointed out, thlf was not signed, nor any address given West crossed over to an unoccupied desk, and wrote a reply, changing tht wording several times, and Anally mnk lng a clean copy. The answer rend' To Advertiser: Am 26; late captain of -Engineers; university graduate, adventurous disposition. Would be glad to consider your proposition. Address, Box 57, University club." He placed this In an envelope, called a club messenger, and, handing tht boy a sum of money, sent him over t< the newspaper office. Two days elapsed before an answei appeared In his box; a small envelope addressed In a lady's handwriting ap parently, and moiled from one of tht v sub-postoffices. The brief note read "Box 57, University club. "Your answer to advert I semeni makes a good impression, and I arc willing to put you to the further tes| (of a persona^ meeting.

He had a room at the club, nnd wrote a letter or two hefore proceeding to dress, arranging ! for their personal delivery In case he failed to return at a designated time; carefully examined his service revolver, and deposited It In the. pocket of the business suit he decided to tvear. Satisfied with these arrangements, he dressed rapidly, and then packed his hag, hearing It In his hand as he departed in ample time for the point of rendezvous. A cab took him to the place designated, nnd he found himself alone In a rather desolate spot, -with which he was In no way familiar. lie had no knowledge of how he was to he nnnronohed or idontlflpil. hut his being requested to bring a bag containing evening clothes, somehow suggested riding," rather than walking, and consequently Ids eyes followed piore or less intently the constant stream of automobiles. He grew restless and doubtful as the moments slipped past. Then suddenly, without the slightest warning, a black limousine whirled" in alongside the curb, and came "to a stop Immediately In front of where he waited. The chauffeur, dressed In plain dark livery, stepped out, and threw open the rear door, without asking so much as a question. I'xcept that the fellow stood there, looking directly toward liini, his j fingers on the latch, expectantly, ' West would not have known that he was wanted. Yet It was all so obvious he could not question. Silently he picked up his hag. and stepped for- i ward, lie saw no one within, hut firm in the belief that the chauffeur must have his orders, he entered blindly, the door closing Instantly behind him. The curtains were drawn, the interior gloomy and, indistinct, and the driver had resumed ids seat, and started the motor, before West realized that he was not alone. In one corner of the vjde hack seat, drawn hack from any possible observation from without, sat a woman. , . At first glance lie could only barely distinguish the outlines of her figure^ j "We Are to Be Either Friends or Enemies." dimly discernible against the dark background of the upholstery, but, us his eyes accustomed themselves to the faint light, her features also became dimly visible?enough so, at least, to convince him that she was young. Neither spoke for sorie moments, while the automobile gathered speed, and West had an uncomfortable feeling that the lady was watching hint with great Intentness. He could only quietly await heK explanation of this strange situation. 'Hie delay was not a long one. She laughed, nervously perhaps, yet with a sense of humor at the awkward position.

"I preferred not to be seer ^t the park for obvious reasons; bui here, alone with you, such precautlor Is quite unnecessary. We are to b? either friends or enemies, so franknesi is the best course^" He saw the face of a yoang womai of twenty-four, or five, with dark eye; and hair, her cheeks flushed witl health and excitement, her lips smll ing. It was a face of unusual attrac tlveness, not regular, perhaps, In an; of Its features, yA filled with charac ter, and glowing with tpfc. He liked tin firwl hollooo/1 l? "I can only thank you," he said rather lumely. "Although I do no understand now how we could eve bbcorife enemies. Surely, rhnt Is not i threat?" "Oh, no, It Is far too true. You hhvi yet to leurn what I require. Yet tha was very nicely said. I' take It t< mean your first Impression of me 1 not unfavorable?" "Very far from It. I am alrend; deeply Interested in my task. If lacked an Incentive before, you huvi furnished It." She laughed again softly, her eye still on his face. "Really, I had not anticipated sucl a sincere compliment. No doubt yoi learned these delightful speeches li France," she answered, a very fain tinge of sarcasm in the words. "How ever, this is a very serious mattei Captain West, and eeally lias nothini to do with my personal appearance, am seeking neither flirtation nor com pliment; merely a trustworthy agent First of all, It Is necessary that yoi comprehend this." He bowed. Impressed by her man ner, and somewhat ashamed of his im petuoslty. , "I accept 'the reproof," he snii quietly, "and will endeavor hencefortl not to offend in any way. I am en tlrely at your service." "There Is no offense; I merel; thought it best there should be no mis understanding. Now, I am sure, w can proceed Intelligently. Tndeed, fwn going to frankly confess, I alsi like your appearance. This mutua liking ought to he half the battle. W have quite a ride before us yet; yoi may question me if you wish."

"Naturally that query comes first and especially the dress suit, Yo have the prejudices of your sex, I sec und without regret. I shall endeavo to reply categorically, yet with reset vations. We are going to a countr; home, where we dine, in company wltl a few guests." "I see; I am first of all to be pro Jected into society. Are any of tlies guests known to me?" "Ood forbid; and I may even ven ture to predict that you will never car to know any of them again. You ar to he present as my guest, and will si be welcomed." "I feel the honor; but would It no be well under these circumstances fo me to know more clearly whose gues I am? Suppose, for Instance, I had t refer to our long friendship, It wouh be extremely awkward not to even b able to mention your name." "My name! Why, of.coucse, yoi do not know what It Is.

"This Is very kind of you, Mis Coolidge," he acknowledged, adapt In himself to her present mood, "But I seems there is no necessity for m to present myself. Apparently m Identity Is already known." "Otherwise you would not h among those present," she admitte frankly. "Then, I Judge you have not a< cepted me blindly?"

The man retired noiselessly, closing the door after him, and West began j slowly to dress, rather amused at the j care he took, that all details should be as correct as possible. Unquestionj ably the girl Interested him oddly, ' He endeavored to analyze what con0 Ktituted her peculiar attractiveness, ^ hut without arriving at any definite e conclusion.
