CHAPTER CCLXXXI
HOW THE STRANGER ACTED
WHEN MADGE TOLD HIM HER
MAIDEN' NAME.
"Mother, may I present Mr. Gor
don? My wife. Mr. Gordon."
Dicky's manner was nervous, pre
occupied as be spoke. His mother's
face showed very plainly her resent
ment at being obliged to meet the
man upon: whose steady staring at
me she had so acidly commented a
few minntes before.
For my own part-1 was so upset
that I felt actually ill. as the eyes of
the persistent stranger met mine.
How had this man, who had so terri
fied me by his persistent pursit and
scrutiny, managed to obtain an In
troduction to Dicky? . ,
. Dicky made a place for the man
near me, and signalled the waiter. '
. . "I tnow yon. have dined," he said
courteously, "but you'll at least have
coffee and a cordial with us, will
you not?" , ,. ;
-"Thank you," Mr. -Gordon said, in
a deep rich voice,' "I have not yet
had coffee. If you will be so kind.
I should like an apricot, brandy in
stead of a cordial." '. J
.. Dicky gave the necessary order, to
.the waiter, and we all sat back in
our chairs.
i lor one, reit as though i were a
spectator at a play, waiting for the
curtain to run up upon some thrill
mg episode. .For the few minutes
while we waited for our coffee.
Dicky had to carry the burden of the
conversation. His mother with her
lips pressed together in a tight, thin
line, evidently had resolved to take
no part in any conversation with the
stranger. I was really too terrified
to say anything, and, besides the
briefest of assents to Dicky's obser
vations, the stranger said nothing.
. With the coming of the coffee,
however, there occurred a little In
cident that intensified the vague ter
ror I felt of Mr, Gordon.
When the coffee and the tiny glass
of, cordial were , set before him, Mr.
Gordon said something in an under
tone to the waiter,' who bowed,
slipped away and came back with a
curiously shaped spoon with tiny
prongs underneath it, which fitted
over the top of Mr. Gordon's demi
tasse. ; '
- "One or two?" the man asked def
erentially with hand outstretched to-
word the sugar tongs. '
Mr: Gordon waved him aside., took

the aroma of burning brandy arose.
.. Mr. Gordon bent over the coffee
as solicitously as if he were a devotee
tending the shrine. When the flame
sank be added more drops of brandy
until the tiny glass was empty.
When the last blue flame bad died
he rtirred a portion of the sugar into
his coffee and. sipped the beverage
with the enjoyment of a sybarite.
-I have seen people burn brandy
over their -demitasses many times,
but there was something about the
way Mr. Gordon did it, something In
the appearance of his long, slender,
white hands, the hands of a dilet
tante, that, thrilled me with a sen
sation of terror.
For the conviction was borne In
upon me that somewhere, somehow
I had seen this man bend over his
coffee in the same manner before. .
I told myself . that the Idea was
the most preposterous, for I was sure
that never In my life before the
morning at the Sydenham hotel had
I ever seen Mr.. Gordon. But the
convictions persisted in overweighing
my reason and my common sense.
Those long, slender, nervous, white
hands were as familiar ta me as w-ere
Dicky's. - . I
'There was something about the
man's whole . personality that both
attracted and repelled me. With ono
breath I felt that I had a curious
sense of liking and admiration for
him and was proud of the Interest in
me which he had taken no pains to
conceal. , The net moment a real ter
ror and dislike of him swept over me.
: I waited with beating heart for
himUo finish his coffee. It seemed
to me that -1 could hardly wait for
him to speak. For I bad a psychic
presentment that. before he left the
table he would make known to us
th reason of "his rude pursuit of me.
His first words confirmed my im
pression: .
"I am afraid. Mrs. Graham, he
said , courteously, turning to me. as
he finished his coffee, "that I have
startled and alarmed you by my en
deavor to ascertain your identity.
. I did not answer him. I did not
wish to tell him that 1 had been
frightened; neither could I truthful
ly deny, his assertion. . And 1 wished
that I had not evaded my mother-In'
law's query concerning him.
., He did not appear to heed my si
lence, however, but went on rapidly
"May I Ask?"
' - t
"It is a very simple matter after
all." he said. "You see, you resent'
ble so closely a very dear friend of
my youth; In fact, the dearest I ever
