He suddenly drew back in fright, for in one corner be beheld a Bowery type of a girl who bore a marked re­ semblance to PearL Hastily ques­ tioning the waiter, he learned that she was a Meg Mellon, a girl who had been around there for several years. And then the idea came. Deering walked over to the girl’s table and sat down beside her. “Could you act like a lady for a few days in several thousand dol­ lars worth of clothes if given a gen­ erous sum of money?” he asked after a few preliminary words. “Say, Mister, are yez tryin’ to kid me?” the girl answered. • Deering’s earnestness soon as­ sured the girl of his sincerity. Two nights later Deering and die girl were enjoying a cocktail in the former’s apartment. Deering was very much elated, as the ruse had worked and he succeeded in secur­ ing the coveted stock. Meg had been carefully instructed how to act At this particular moment, he laid down his drink and placed the envelope bearing the certificates on the table. With a smile at the girl, he arose and walked toward his desk. But while he was doing so, Meg quickly took the certificates from the en­ velope and substituted some pieces of blank paper. “I tell you, girl, you’re wonder­ ful,” he smiled as he returned to her side. “You and I will go far to­ gether.” And then he attempted to embrace her. “Oh, no, Mr. Deering! You don’t get me yet!” Deering stopped in his tracks. Ho had heard those very words before not so long ago. He quickly looked at the girl—could it be possible that she— ? He looked at her searching- ly and his sharp eyes saw the certi­ ficates sticking out from her dress. With his hands behind him, he touched the table where the envelope was lying—and drew out the Mank paper. Jude Deering was very crafty. For several minutes he said noth­ ing—he raised his drink and drank the health of Meg Mellon. Then, go­ ing toward the window he pulled down the shades, and followed this by locking the doors. The girl was a trifle nervous at his actions, but she made no move. • “And now Pearl Travers,” he said suddenly, “let’s lay our cards on the table! I know you and yonr game! You would trick me, eh? You would play dead—you, and your Mr. Jones, and get the other half of the parchment and this stock. Wei?, you’ve played your last game!” It can be truthfully said that Pearl Travers was frightened. She backed away from Deering, and stepped aside as the gentleman made an awkward pounce in her di­ rection. Then, eluding him, the girl rushed for the door—it was locked! Again Deering rushed her, and with a quick jiu-jitsu swing Pearl al­ most succeeded in throwing him to the floor. Before Deering could recover himself, the girl rushed for the win­ dow. It was locked—but she smash­ ed the pane and climbed through. Hardly had she arrived on the fire- escape when Deering crashed through the broken window after her. The struggle was at close quar­ ters now, and the strength of the man was too much for the girl. Un­ able to fight back, she was forced back against the railing of the fire- escape—back, back, back! Any mo­ ment Pearl expected to be forced over and dropped many feet below to the sidewalk.
