Across the "room, Hamlin s eyes`. met those" of Miss /McDonald, where she danced - with an _ unknown oicer; then he turned and elbowed his way into the street._ The hotel op- posite was all bustle and". "confusion, the bar-room crowded with the `thirty emergency waiters `who had rushed about the hall completing nal preparations. The. Sergeant, intent on his purpose, and aware that the band had ceased playing, `dodged past these and entered the There were `two _ more dances lparlor. It was already occupied by` four vmen, who were playing cards at a small, round table and smok- ing vigorously,. entirely engrossed in their game. None of -them so lmuch as glanced up, and the in- .truder hesitated an instant, quick- , ly determining his course of action. There was litlte choice ;;'left. ' The girl would -never make `an appoint- ment. with _ him excelit through `necessity, and it `was manifestly his duty to protect her .fromf ob- se1'vati0n.

The dispersal of the card-players, , yvas, {as anticipated, easily managed} but the reputation- of Reb as killer and_ bad man had given him" hope of. resistance. But instead he had proven a per- fect lamb. Hamlin crossed his legs` and waited, his `mind divided in; wonder V between /what Miss McDon- ald might want, and the .co.w_ardice of the fellow just driven out. The man was actually afraid---afraid to- start a row. Yet he had got to his feet with that intention; it .was only after he had looked into Ham-. lin s face and asked his name, that he began to hedge and draw back. Could` he have v- recognized him? `Could Mrs. Dupont have warned. `him of danger` in his direction? That would seem impossible, for the woman had_ not been with him for `even a minute since their conver- sation. She had given him a swift signal at the door of the dance! hall, but that could scarcely account for his present desire to avoid trouble. An engagement? Prob- -ably with Mrs. Dupont., But what was the use of speculating? Per- haps when the girl came she would have some `light to throw on these! matters. Surely her sudden deter-- mination to see him privately must have connection. with this aair.'
