NOW GO OX WITH THE STOHY CHAPTER I N a moment more they had passed the street light. Bannls :er stared at the girl but In the Jarkness her features were only raguely outlined. He said. "This !s yours. Isn't it?" and held out the revolver. Her "Thank you." was low pitched but clear-voiced. She gltrped the gun back into her hand beg. "If that thing happens to be loaded." Bannister said with some feeling. "1 hope you'll be careful with It!" "Oh. It's not loaded!" But was it? She might have given the same answer even though the cylinder was- filled with bul lets. She might and probably wouid -have said the same thing if she didn't want a complete stranger wondering why she- was going about carrying a loaded re volver in her handbag. Bannister looked at the girl again closely. Suddenly he wanted want-ed very much to know who she was. He wanted to know why she had come out alone on this stormy evening, why she was going to the Hotel TrernonL He felt almost as though he were being swept Into an adventure. But that was nonsense. "Her name's probably Hattie Smith." he told himself. "She's late for a date with her boy friend who's a collector for the gas company and she forgot her umbrella." He didn't believe any of those things but he wanted to curb the suddenly rising exhilaration he felt. Exhilaration, alas, that was doomed to be short-lived, sure to be disappointed. He turned again, this time catching catch-ing the girl's quick, side-wise glance, and knew she had been watching him. Bannister said. with an attempt at casual pleasantry. pleas-antry. Well, we might talk about the weather. I got quite a bit of it the weather, 1 mean down toy neck, standing there In the street." "I'm sorry." the girl told him. Her voice trembled. There was no doubt of it now. "I didn't know it was your cab. I didn't know there was anyone " "Of course you didn't," Bannister Bannis-ter Interrupted. "But there's certainly cer-tainly no reason why two people shouldn't ride in a cab made to hold five. As a matter of fact, I like company!" That was a mistake; he could tell it instantly. The girl did not draw away. There was no increas- . ing of the distance between them, but she seemed all at once to become be-come remote. He noticed then that she was sitting rigidly, clutching , the handbag with both bands. Well, damn it, she didn't need to be afraid of him! If she didn't want to talk he certainly wasn't going to try to make her. UnexpiainaDiy oannlster was an-, an-, aoyed. They rode in silence for . several blocks after that. They had reached the business district and the streets had grown wider, brighter. Presently the cab round- BOOTS AND HER WASHINGTON ' hey! nh6rc you N i IF w 1 r , f 0 -v V4 Bannister said, ed a corner and the marquee above the hotel entrance, lined by electric elec-tric bulbs, came into view. A moment mo-ment more and the cab had halted there. Bannister was on the sidewalk instantly. He put out a hand for the girl but she ignored it. In the strong glow of the electricity she stepped forward a slender, green-clad green-clad figure. "Thank ' you," she said, turning to the man. "Thank you so much!" Just for an instant his eyes met hers gray eyes, wide-set beneath dark lashes. But David Bannister noticed neither the color of those eyes or their shape. He knew as he looked into that face so strangely white, so strangely tense that he was looking into tragedy. trag-edy. Then the girl in the green suit was gone. THERE was the fragrance of f t-n c Vi 1 v VinVnl mtiffina anil rplen browned sausages over the breakfast break-fast table, to which was added one more pungent aroma as Kate Hew-litt Hew-litt poured coffee into cups of eggshell egg-shell porcelain. "I didn't hear you come In last night, David," she said primly. "That's because I was here be for you were." "Oh?" His aunt's tone showed surprise. "Well, I guess it was late when I got here," she admitted. admit-ted. Aunt Kate looked the soul of placid domesticity. "How was the picture?" he asked. "Well, I've seen Detter." Aunt Kate said critically. "The acting was all right but I didn't think so rmuch of the plot. It was about a girl who fell in with a gang of crooks and then shot a man because be-cause she didn't know she loved him until afterward. Then she found it out and went to prison and reformed. Kind of silly I thought!" Aunt Kate went on, naming the star of the picture. "She was awfully aw-fully good in the sad parts," she BUDDIES MTAV TUBBS 'A (THERE AlGOlMG TO BE M0 PlMNERf WE'RE i:::::::xoxV "This is yjours, isn't it?" and held out said. "I didn't care much for the rest of it, though. The leading man was a new one I've never seen before. Had a kind of funny way he parted his hair. I don't think I like him much " She chattered on. David discovered discov-ered that he was not listening and then presently heard her words again. "The reason I didn't get home sooner," Aunt Kate was saying, "was because I stayed to see the vaudeville acts, i missed them the first time and I wanted to see Tracy King. He's the young fellow who leads the band, you know. Master of ceremonies, they call him. Well, sir he didn't show up at all!" "What was the matter?" "I'm sure I don't know!" Another An-other young fellow came out on the stage and just said that Mr. King wouldn't be there. So they went ahead without him." "Aunt Kate, are you trying to tell me that you've fallen for one of those sleek-haired masters of ceremony? At your age? I'm surprised at you!" TTIS aunt's gaze held sharp re-11 re-11 buke. "I haven't 'fallen for him,' as you put it," she said, "but somebody else has. That's the reason rea-son I wanted to get a good look at him. You remember Denlse Lang, don't you? She must have been in short dresses when you were here last. A little thing with light curly hair and blue eyes " "You mean the Lang that makes the hair tonic and patent medicine and had the big house out on Sheridan Sher-idan Road? Didn't know he had a daughter." "Well, he has. She's grown into a beautiful young woman, too. Denise must be about 18 no, I guess she's 19. She's an only child. Her mother died when she was a little tot. Well, last week her engagement en-gagement was announced to this Tracy King!" "The orchestra leader?" Bannister Bannis-ter whistled softly. "Lang must 1 it H i i the revolver. be worth close to a million. Isn't he?" "More like two million, 1 guess," Kate Hewitt shrugged. "At least he used to be. Maybe he's lost some of it lately. I should think it would just about break the man's heart to have Denise marry anybody any-body like that!" "Oh. maybe he's not so bad!" "And maybe he's not so good either. I'm not 'saying anything against anyone, but a young man like that is no match for Denise Lang, the richest and prettiest girl In Tremont! I guess there have been plenty of others crazy about this young fellow though. Lily Evans was talking about it the other day. They invited him to the parties out at the Country Club and all that. I've seen him once or twice but I never paid much attention to him. That's why I wanted to get a good look at him last night. It just makes me sorry for Arthur Lang! A Rirl like that, raised with every advantage! advan-tage! But I suppose she's used to having her own way " The sausages and muffins had been consumed. David, finishing his second cup of coffee, glanced about the room uncomfortably. "Want the paper, don't you?" his aunt volunteered. "I forgot to bring it In. Go nd get it. David." He arose, disappeared into the hall and then was back with the folded newspaper under his arm. Still standing, he spread out the pages. His aunt heard his short, sharp ejaculation and turned. "What Is itr she demanded. 'What's the maTtei ?" David Bannister thrust the newspaper news-paper before her. "Guess your orchestra or-chestra leader was murdered last night,'.' he told her. "Look at this!" The glaring headlines read: "TRACY KING, BAND LEADER, SLAIN IN HOTEL." But it was not at that headline Bannister wa staring. His eyes were fixed on two lines in smaller type below.
