If he had bad hla wits about him, lie would have made his purchases before he had checked the bag, and left them safely Inside It However, he was now entitled to a late luncheon, and lie consumed this with considerable relish at a restaurant he had liked in the old days. He was leaning back, smoking a cigarette, with a mind almost at peace, which for him meant a mind empty of thought, when a reflection struck him like a blow. Its force brought him upright lu his THE BLUE CIRCLE By Elizabeth Jordan X (Q br Tb Century Co.) WNU Service. WHITE PAPERl SYNOPSIS. Incapacitated menby shock, as a result ot ex- tally periences during the World war, Renshaw makes a proposition to David Campbell, wealthy, elderly man of leisure, that for a year he assume responsibility for him (Renshaw) practically "buy" g him. Doctor Stanley, friend of Campbell's, indorses the which Campbell, proposition, with some natural misgivings, The arrangement is accepts. that the young man become an Inmate of the Campbell household, with the nominal duty of Renshaw meets Versecretary. ity, Campbell's granddaughter, and gets the Impression that she does not like him. Jenks, the butler, Renshaw also feels, is distinctly hostile. Renshaw has a feeiing that the servants are spying on him. Jenks warns him that th;re are "queer things" going on In the house. That night he Is disturbed by the appearance on the wall of his room of a small blue circle of light. Mysterious noises in the corridor outside his door cause him to investigate, but he discovers 'nothing unusual. His employer asks him to ignore anything he does not understand. Campbell tells Renshaw .that the household Is In some respects; "unusu- -' al, but makes light of his story of the mysterious sounds. Renshaw meets Madame Hvoeslef, a foreigner, with an air of mystery. She asks Renshaw to go to New York, a short journey, on a mission for her next day. During the night the blue circle again appears. He hears the sound of a heavy body on the door. Then a hand appears apparently seeking to open the transom. Unsuccessful, the hand vanishes. Madame Hvoeslef gives him a leather case, declaring its contents are priceless, which he is to deliver to a Mr. Atkins in New York. Renshaw again finds his door locked. Someone wants him to miss his train. life-lon- Continued CHAPTER V 10 1 Ren-shaw- 's semi-militar- He wasted no time on It. In two strides he was at a front window, had Jerked it open, and was calling down to Hart. Send Jenks up here,, please, he directed. My door is caught and I cant open it. Tell him to bring an extra key. He caught the expression of surprise on Harts face as lie Jumped from his car and ran into the house. There was a several-minut- e 'interval, followed by the sound of hurrying steps, of fumbling at the lock, and the door swung open. Jenks stood outside, his round face wearing an expression of combined surprise and concern. Im so Most sorry, sir, lie said hurriedly. annoying for you, sir. I hope this hasnt lost you the train. I tli ink not. Itenshaw had no time to discuss the incident. It had taken five or six minutes to get out of the room, just enough to make the difference be-- , tween a leisurely catching of the train and a determined effort to get it. lie hurried down stairs and into the waiting car with a terse order to Hart to "let her out. Ahead of him, canavenue tering down the mupie-lineleading to the road, he saw Verity Madame and Hvoeslef, Campbell mounted on excellent horses.

At he reflection his will experienced tire usual recoil a recoil, that shook him as the discharge Shakes a gun. He did not want to do anything, but he must. He caught his train, thunks to the fine abandon of Hun's driving, in the smoking car he settled t he traveling hag on his knees, and. with one hand resting protertingly upon it, whipped his mind to the point of constructive thought. His first and strongest conclusion was that lie must get rid of the case at the earliest possible moment. That square leather case, whatever Us contents, Increasingly represented the particular kind of responsibility he desired to escape: When his train reached the city, lie hurried to a taxicab, and having given his instructions to Hie driver, who received them coldly, settled back on the cushions and regarded with growing disfavor the bag on his knees. lie began to feel as If that hag had always been upon his knees as if it would always be there. Ilis impulse to baud the case over to another grew with each moment that passed. And yet, from siari to finish of the little project of bringing it to town, mot hing had occurred unusual except the episode of the locked door, which possibly had nothing whatever to do with the leather case. No one had molested him; so far as he knew, - no one had even observed him.

The taxicab stopped at the entrance to the Trust company's elaborate offices, and Itenshaw. having largely overpaid ttie drivel ra'lier than wait for change, hurried Inside and demanded audience with the man, Atkins. to whom ids letter was addressed. His impatience appeared to annoy a many buttoned office boy, who conducted him to a bench in a lobby and d 1 . aloofly advised him to wait there. Renshaw bit his iips, but obeyed.

Atkins had told him all lie knew. From a certain nervous clicking of tiie instrument, lie suspected that Atkins desired to continue the conversation, but lie had no time for that. He hurried out of tiie building, flung himself into a taxicab, and was driven to the Waldorf. There lie went in turn through tiie restaurant and Ieaeock alley, without finding the two women lie sought. He dared not ask for them or dared lie? Atkins had been so careful about mentioning names.
