of his shoulder. “Women love trou '

"1 don't like trouble either." she
replied. her voice muffled by his over-
coat. “1 just wanted to know it you
were with Lois. today."

“Tut. tutl Goodnightl" He drew
her hands from his shoulders, passed
his lingers lightly over her uncovered
bead. and run to the waiting uls-
chine.

As the our hesitated at the bright-
ly lighted comer. he turned and
waved to her. She was looking alter
him. and responded with a little
weary gesture of her hand. She still
was standing there. in the doorway
of the apartment house. when the
automobile disappeared.

Morton's city home was in one
of those apartment buildings that
are erected for the very rich. and
the very extravagant. A liverled
giant negro stood olweys beneath
the canopy that led from the
doorway to the curb. A footmun
walled inside the great glass doors. A
telephone operator-a man. with
huge grey mustachos. sat in the
lobby beside the elevators. Past the
doorman. and tho tootmun. undy‘tlle

duced a latch-key. and softly turned
the lock. There was a hell on the
door-jumb. with which to summon
the butler. but at two o'clock in the
morning. butlers are shed.

The great drawing room was
brightly lighted. No one was visible.
but the pipe-organ. that tilled en el‘
cove at the tar and of the room. was
thundering out the strains of the
“Pilgrims' Chorus."

Throwing his worst-cost. and bet

Morton stood with his arm around

"You're used up." Then he chuckled.
“It's a good thing this is a sound

her in it with grave ceremony. Then
he brought a footstool. and set upon

arm of the chair. and caressed his
temples with her slim lingers. He
reached up and took her hand. draw-
ing it over his shoulder.

“Something's worrying you.

”Wooten love trouble." be quoted.
“And it they heven't any they go
out end nuke some for themselves!"

Audrey paid this the tribute or e
iieetiill smile, but her eyes were
serious.

“How much money do you make
every year?" she asked. impulsively.

”Oh. shout s. hundred tboueend
dollars." he answered. "Why?"

The girl slipped from her chair to
tilts floor, and ncsili-d up against
hut.

"Do you know." she asked. sober-
ly. “thet I wish you didn't have one
penny except what you could earn
with your own hands, every week.
end that i could keep house for you
on that. and cook your meals. and
mood your clothes. and thet when
we went out for some fun we'd just
go tor e nice long walk?”

She. took the button of his ovenins
cost. end twisted it in her lingers.
"I: you didn‘t have that money.
nayhe nil these women wouldn't be
lugging around you. and telephon-
log you. and everything. Some
women has been calling up here al-
Itost every hour. all evening."

Horton chuckled. “So you don't
think they love me (or myself
elone?"

The girl took his hand and
it between her own.
"ltsybe they love you—maybe they
deli't help it. But i! you didn't have
so 'much money you couldn't take
them out to places. You'd have to
work. and you‘d be tired at night.
and would come home to me."

Morton made o. little crooning
noise in his throat. as one makes to
s troubled child. Arising. he stooped
and picked the girl up in his erms.
Cerefully he mounted the steps to
the second story of the duplex
apartment. and set her down at the
door o! her own boudolr.

“I do work. truly." he said. grave»
ly. "Just because I work at s. desk
is no sign that i don't do hard work.
But I never knew that the company
of on old man like me would be
missed by my pretty little kitten."

As the other girl had done, an hour
bolero. Audrey held him by the
shoulders.

"You're NOT old!" she protested.
"You won't be old lor' years and
years and years. And i'd rather be
with you than with anybody else."

She slipped her two forefingers
into his vest pockets. end stood s
moment. her eyes st to the liner.
“Why didn't you c rget married?"
she resumed. “Didn't you ever want
to get married? Didn't you ever see
anyone you wanted to marry?"

Morton's face contracted tor a mo
ment. as at a painful thought. but
in e moment he was smiling again.

"Well. I've thought about it some-
times. Havs YOU?”

He" tilted her head, it crooked fin-
ger beneath her chin. and looked it
moment into her eyes. She turned
her bead away. Then. standing on
tiploo, she bestowed a swift kiss
upon his check. and lied into her
room.

“Goodnight.“ she called from be-
hind the closed door.

Thoughtfuliy Morton descended
the spire. and sank into the big
leather chair \xllislx always awaited
him. in the living room. At three
o'clock. he still was sitting there.
thinking.

I O 0

For fifteen you: 5. Harry Morton-
and the girl Audrey—had interested
the people of Rochester.

When Morton first appeared there.
early in the year 1910. with s. little.
bluseyod, tourvyclr-old girl holding
tightly to his hand. he went directly
to the hotel. and ungagod a. suite of
rooms—two bedrooms, and a sitting
room.

Almost at once he opined an office.
with the sign: "Harry B. Morton.
Broker." on the door.

Just what form of properly be

t in. his neighbors in the build
in were not sure. .What attracted
their‘anentlon, and that of the folk

 

in the lobby oi the hotel. was that

presently he appeared st the wheel,
of'tho lergest and showlosi sutotno-
bile in town. in this. on Sundsy
mornings. end often of s week-day
afternoon. he and the little Audrey.
would speed away for long rides
over the country roads.

When he bought I houeo, it was.

i

 

l

i

notable. not for its also. but for the .

number of servants that he installed
in it. This was two years after his
appearance in Rochester.

By the standards of Roches-
ter. s. home equipped with two
servants hull n Mi of grandeur.
about it. Morton engaged four for!
his house in tho outskirts-«t cook.
s. chsuiiour. o. housumuld. nnd e per-
sonal maid fur the little gill.

Naturally, Ult'l‘O nus talk; a good
deal of it.

Just as naturally. much of the talk
was unfriendly.

Folk in Rochester two just as
apt to be suspicious of things and
theories and people that they do,
not understand. us are the people
on Main Street. and in New York.
end over tlio‘l‘cmulnder of’the globe.

Nobody understood Morton. He
continued his business. in his modest
brokerage olllco, but Rochester
never found out exactly whut that
business was. Once a fortnight. and '
sometimes once u week. he made s.
journey to New York. Why he went.
the most diligent searchers oftor
truth woreunsbio to learn. They
knew he maintained on expensive .
apartment there. as will as llls'home '
in Rochester.

Evidently ho had ample means.
His bankers gicctcd him cordially:
oven with a little deference. Occn-'

slonnlly ho dabbled a bit in local' I

real estate. Ills motor cars were of
the finest: the appointments of his
house were rich: the little girl
Audrey always Was dressed in fash-
ions that came from Paris.

The gossips heard. and agreed.
that Morton was a bachelor: that the
little girl was his adopted child:
that he was closcmouthed about his
past. and about his , present. to I.
most astounding degree. and that .he
was the most attractive figure among
all the males of Rochester.

Further than that. there was no
agreement at all. Morton himself
took no pains to resolve any of their,
doubts. indlflerent to the talk about-
