after the lawyer had loft left him watched the tho d door or expectantly for the the coming of tho girl whom ho he had bad ordered before him But when at last Dan appeared and stood aside asido to permit her hor p passing sing into the office the tho inspector gasped Byed at tho the unexpectedness of the tho vision lie Ho had anticipated the coming of or a woman of tha that world in which ho he was most familiar kin in the exercise of his nis professional tho duties tho tho un underworld of criminals some somo one beautiful perhaps perhaps perhaps per per- haps but wi with h tho the brand of viciousness subtly yet visibly for the rained gained oyo eye to see Then even c in that first l moment he told himself that ho should shoud have havo De Been prepared l for the un Un un- I usual in m this instance since tho the girl irl had to do with Mary Turner and that disturbing person herself showed in face and form and manner nothing to suggest sug sug- gest cst aught but a gentlewoman And in m tho the next instant the inspector ctr for- for ot rot his surprise in a sincere almost ardent a admiration The girl irl was rather short hortt but lOt of i slender cle elegance ante of form that was I ravishing Sh She he was gowned too with witha i a chic nicety to arouse the envy of all less fortunate women Her costume had about it an indubitable air a finality finality finality final final- ity of perfection in its kind On an any might havo have appeared perhaps the merest trifle garish But that fault if in intact fact it ever existed was m made mado Clo into a a. virtue b by tho the correcting innocence of the girls girl's face fare It Jt was a childish face childish in th the exquisite exquisite- smoothness 8 o othe of ot the soft soft pride pink pi k skin shin childish in tho the wondering stare of the blue eyes now now so 50 widely opened in dismay childish in the wistful l drooping of the rosebud mouth The Tho girl advanced slowly with th a lL laggard laggard laggard lag lag- gard hesitation in her movements mo obviously ol fr from m fear She approached tho desk front from fr m behind whit which the in inspector in- in sector watch watched 1 fascinated by br the fresh resh and wholesome beauty of this young creature He failed to ob observe r o the tho underlying an anger cr beneath the girl girls Orl's s outward display of alarm He shook off his hie first impression b by m means ans of a resort to his customary bJ bluster st r in su such h cases II Now Now then my girl rJ ho he said roughly I want to know knot There ere came a change wrought bt in inthe in the tho twinkling of an eye oyo The Tho tin tiny trimly shod root loot of the girl rose and fell in a wrathful stamp How dare the clear blue you ou eyes were fere become darkened with ith anger lU cr r n that that w was s n offended Indi ati f tho the young roman Burke sat by embarrassment t for on once in his Ufo lifo and quite at a loss 1089 1 what s 's 9 that that ho he said

Burke inquired Ho still held his is big voice to a softer modulation than that to which it was habituated Yet the disdain of the girl seemed only to increase She showed plainly that sho she regarded this brass buttoned buttoned buttoned but but- toned official as one unbearably insolent insolent inso inso- lent Jent in his demeanor toward her Nevertheless Nevertheless Nev Nev- she sho condescended to reply with an oxa exaggeration of the aristocratic drawl dIa to indica indicate to her hor displeasure I I 11 was introduced to Miss Turner she Rhe explained b by Mr Richard Gilder Perhaps you have havo heard of his father the owner of tho the Emporium II Oh Oh yes Ive I've heard of his father and of him bim too Burke Burko admitted pIa pla- catin 1 But the he girl relaxed not a whit in her attitude o or of offense Then sho she went on severely you you must see at once that you are arc entirely mistaken in this matter Her blue bloc blueeyes eyes eves widened further as she stared accusingly accusingly ac ac- ac- ac at tho the inspector who l betrayed evidences of perplexity and hesitated for an answer Then tho the like doll-like charming fa face e took tok on a a.
