4 PAQB THK 11KXO BULLETIN'. DAILY EDITION, BKM), OKUUON, HATl llDAV, DKCKMllKIl ili, 1021. AUTHOR Of wv m.vafjf:' vie era COPYIOHT, rVRANOALU PARIII5H "Well, Uiere are kTt grnues here, now that I look about; yet, as you say, the average Is not bad. Prob ably they will grow louder later In the evening, when they take the lid oft" "1 don't believe they ever do that Is, entirely. Mr. McLaughlin, the de tective who came with us, said this was really the most dangerous place In town from the police viewpoint. Its very surface quiet made It a special menace. Nothing was ever permitted to occur here which would give the department any excuse for a raid. If there was a fight, or even a murder. It was hushed up Instantly, and the victim hidden away, before even the patrolman on the block could hear about It. lie mentioned several cases; and said the waiters were especially selected to take care of any rough honse." "Perhaps that Is what makes It pop ular with the class they cater to." "Safe, you mean. Yes ; he said they could spot any criminal of reputation In the country at Perond's, If they only waited Ions enough; that half the big jobs In New York were plotted at these tables." . "I begin -o comprehend," I said Jocularly, "why I was received as a distinguished guest The hendwaiter must have recognized me as an old pal my face is my fortune." "He may have mistaken you for Daly," she admitted soberly, "but more likely It was your tip which made him so attentive. You are some spender, Mr. Severn." "That depends on who I am with; this is an unusual occasion." She did not smile, or look at me, but leaned slightly forward, drawing back a fold of the curtain with one hand, so as to gain a wider glimpse of the large room without A mo ment she remained motionless; then turned her face sideways toward me. "Waldron (a already here," she whis pered warningly. "He Is alone at that second table, against the pillar. Step around this side and you can see; the man irlth gray, bushy hair." I could not easily have mistaken the fellow; his appearance was too em phatically that of the Russian Jew of a certain type to enable him to con ceal his birthright. His back was to ward us, yet as he occasionally cast his eyes about over the faces of those around him, I had a glimpse of a beaked nose, and a sallow, dull com plexion, which seemed to blend natu rally Into a scraggllng beard of co perceptible color. His hair though was Iron-pray, apparently uncut for weeks, and thrust hack from an un usually high forehead, so as to give the man a ruffled, unkempt appear ance far from pleading. He was big all over, strangely burly for a Jew, with broad shoulders and large hands, thickly covered with hair. I moved back around the table as Francois appeared, and resumed my seat keeping silent until the waiter again vanished, and left us alone. "And now that you have located the fellow," I asked curiously, "what do you propose doing go out and talk with him?" She shook her head. "I have reason to believe he expects to meet some one here," she ex plained. "I do not know who; that Is one thing I desire to find out From what you have told me tonight I rather think now It may be Harris." "To divvie up?" "To talk tt over, at least; they'd hardly feeing the stun In here. Prolt ably by this time that Is safely planted." Francois came back, and we devoted ourselves to the meat, although I could observe her glancing constantly through the opening In tbe curtains to make sure of her man. Finally Francois disappeared with the rem nants, while we awaited the serving of dessert. From my scat I could see nothing of the Russian. "No one arrived yet?" I Inquired, "The Jew still there 7" "He remains aione eating. Ah! my guess was right isn't that Harris, who has Just come In?" ' It was "Gentleman George" beyond the shadow of a doubt. He had evi dently located Waldron the moment of entering the room, and with no other thought In his mind headed straight toward where; the letter sat The Jew glanced up, saw him ap proaching, and drew partially back from the table, the knife he had been using still gripped In his band. .. His posture was that of defense, ot cue who anticipates possible attack. Nor did Harris' expression and man ner render this Improbable. The lat ter pushed his way forward with an gry strides, until he reached the pian he sought, leaning over the table to front him, his face black with pas sion, his first words plainly audible to as above the din of a Jazz band. "Say, where the h I have yon been? ZK STRANGE CASS fCAVZNDISTI ir t him flviAiin "What Is This, a Doubla-Cross, Wal dron?" What Is this, a double-cross, Wal dron?" "What you mean?" ejaculated the other. "By Gott! It Is rather you I should ask why you not tell me the truth?" "Tell yon! What the devil have I got to tell you? Don't get funny with me. You sent me a note this morning, didn't yon?" "Sure I did." "Well, then, why didn't you meet me? D n It, Tve been hunting you all day long. What's the Idea? Come, blurt It out, before I wring your d n Jew neck." Waldron spread his hands, and lifted his shoulders in an expression more eloquent than words. "What a man! You cuss me, but not wait to bear why this all was so. You sit down, and I tell you. Then maybe you tell me something also." Harris stared at him, then sank into the vacant chair opposite, still scowl ing angrily across the table. A waiter paused at his elbow expectantly, and, In response to something said, the thief Jerked out a surly answer. "No, I don't want anything to eat. Bring me some whisky a hnlf pint with a little water. Yes, that's all ; now get out of here." At this moment Francois returned with our final course, obliging us to appear Indifferent to the quarrel rag ing beyond tne curtains. Both men must have lowered their voices, for our ears caught nothing of what was said. It seemed to me the waiter was unusually slow In rearranging the table. "There, that will do, Francois," I broke out, at last. Impatiently. "We will want nothing else at present When I need you again I will ring. That Is the hell, I presume." "Oul, M'sleur." "All right; then leave us alone for a while." Neither one of us touched a thing, the coffee growing cold in the cups, as we endeavored to distinguish what was going on at that second table out In the main dining room. I came around beside her, to where I could peer out also beneath the curtain fold, and thus gain glimpses of the two men. They were talking earnest ly, but had lowered their voices, until they were nearly Inaudible amid tbe din of tbe place. The anger and threat had gone out of both voices ; but only oc casionally could we weave together words Into an understandable sen tence ; these came to ns detached, un related, as the surrounding noise ceased suddenly, or tbe music came to a pause. "You didn't get It! Then who the h 1 did? Me, I should say no; why I never knew the old man had even slipped him the dough. That d n girl rode down with him. Of course I do; I saw them go out together; that'B why I thought I was playing safe to keep away. Somebody nas played ns for suckers. If ynu had kept your d n mouth shut we'd a-had It easy." Wnldron broke In, stung by this last tnunt into elevating his voice. "What you mean, I keep my mouth shut? So belp me, Moses, I tell no body," "The h 1 you didn't! You blnbbed the whole thing to Daly. He told me so himself. That's what I was doing last night, bluffing him out" "I tell Daly? Where you git that stuff? I ain't seen Daly for three year.. Was he in this deal? Why yon not tell me of Daly before?" "Tell you ! -1 never knew It until he told me." A waiter brushed past him, bearing t tray, striding, osujnst one shoulder ns ho passed. Harris glanced up wtlh a snarling oath, and, before I reiilln-d the danger, his eyes must Imvo caught a glimpse of nie leneath the tlrnped curtain. Instantly the fellow was on hi feet, all else forgotten In a swift wave of passion.' "There's lite ir'iy now!" ho burst forth. "He's hiding In that booth; I saw htm. Come on, and we'll have the stiff cough up yet I" I drew hack swiftly, pushing the girl behind me. There was no plnce in which to hide, no chance for escape. Perhaps I could explain, but. If not, then 1 must light. The two came plunging through the oHnlhg uud faced us, the heavy curtains drop ping behind them and shutting out all view beyond. Harris, intlumed by drink, glared about as though doubt ing the evidence of his owu eyes, hut his exirresslou was that ot savage hatred. "H 1, If they ain't both of "em here 1 Say, this ts rich. So you two am In cahoots, hey? Thought you'd play nie for a d n fool, did you. Duly? Well, ril show you what you're up against you and yer girl. Come now, whore's that hoodie?" "I know nothing about It, Harris." "You're a liar. This dnme went sway with Alva In his car, I saw her go nut with him. You cough up, both of you. and be d n quick about It, or you'll never get out of here with out a hole through you. You think you cun double-cross me; I'll show you a trick of my own!" He was reaching for his gun. It must have caught In his pocket, though I wasted no time. It was his life or mine, and I gripped the empty wine bottle on the table and smashed a vicious Mow at his head. He went down like a log. his body half project ing through the curtains, while I wheeled about barely In time to meet the mad I -M rush of Waldron. The Russian could not have been armed, for he came at me with bare hands, his grip like that of a bear. For an Instant he had me throttled, scarcely able to breathe, my hands pinned help lessly In the grasp of his anus. But brute strength was all he possessed, brute strength and ferocity. The bot tle was crushed out of my fingers, yet I wriggled partially free, and got one hand twisted into his whiskers. Jerk ing his head back, and side-wise, until the strained neck threatened to crack, and he had to release his grip to protect himself. It was all over In a minute, but hot while It lasted ; I know we struck against the girl, throwing her to her knees ; I know the fellow stumbled over Harris' legs, giv ing me a chance to drive home one fist square Into his face. I heard him rip nut a Hebrew oath, and saw blood staining his lips. I tried to break away from him, but it was no use; yet the effort opened his guard for a swift uppercut, and I let him have It straight to the chin. He crushed back across the table, and hung there dangling, arms outspread and head In a broKen dish. Refore I could strike again, or even recover my breath, the curtains were thrust violently aside, and the head-waiter, hacked by a half dozen subordinates, came tumbling In over Harris' Inert body. Kven as they stared about, I helped the girl to ber feet, and faced them. "What happen here, M'sleur? Whnt happen?" shrieked the excited French man, "You keel ze men? What?" "No; they're Just knocked out' A little private affair, flint's all," 1 snld, too exhausted to speak clearly. "See here, M'sleur," and I thrust the first bill I could reach Into his hnml. "Hu-h this up, will you, and let the lady and me get out of here." He dashed about frantically, wring ing his hands and gesticulating. "Oul, oul ! Eet shall be so. There ees to be no trouble, no police. 7c men attack you, M'sleur Duly I see eet all ; you protect ze Madame. There be no noise, no peestal blen ! Fnin cols, Jules, you will help ze lady un' ze gentleman to go quick." The two waiter-guardians held back the curtains for us to pass through. The main dining room was not as dis turbed as I anticipated It might lie. As we came forth and made our way down the aisle under escort, we were gazed at curiously, but no demonstra tion followed. A group of waiters stood before the outer door, evidently collected there to prevent any alarm from reaching the outside. To the signal of Francois these stepped aside, permitting us to pass through Into the vestibule. 1 assisted my companion into her coat, and then hastily struggled Into my own. She was pale, but her eyes met my own bravely, and her hand touched my arm as we went up the sreps. Above, all remained quiet and dark. "What next?" I asked. . "I believe there are taxis around the corner." "Good; I would prefer riding to wulklng, myself. Where do you wish to be taken?" "Hack , to the hotel, please." In the semi-darkness of tho cab I felt her hund touch mine gently, as though hulf afraid. "Oh. I wus so frightened so sorry to have brought you there. It was all my fault. The Russian had a knife." ; "Yes, I know; I caught a glimmer of It, but he went down and out for the count before It could be used, There Is nothing to worry over now." : "They did not get the money?" "No, that Is clear enongh. Rome body got the bulge on them, and they are very properly sore. You heard Harris swear yoo left with Alva." . '. "Harris knows nothing about It; you must believe nie." "I Intend to certainly as against Harris.:' She tuny not huvo been nltogolhcr pleased with my answer, for aim snld no mom mull we drew up tit the hotel cntniiico. She walled while I seitleil with the cliiiulTeui'. ami we itoisciI the wide pavement together. "It limy he l-est for you not to come In ; one never knows." "This Ik not a tlnnl parting. I hope?" "I'crlmpa so, perhaps not. You do not wholly trust me. Homo day I mean you shall. flood-night." I felt her hand In mine. Just for a moment : then (he doors opened and closed, leaving me alone.
