That's a candid opinion about
this story. There may have
been swifter tales, but not re

yarn, moving so fast that you (
lose your breath while you fol

breath, anyway, because you for
get about respiration with your
eyes on reading of this kind.
Every man has his day of days.
Yours may have come and you
may be swimming in the full tide
of fortune. If so, read how P.
Sybarite found his. If your oivn
ship is still in the offing, you
will enjoy learning how the little
spunky red headed bookkeeper

some of the most amazing ad

CHAPTER II.
A Lively Story.
ROM the squalor, the heat. Girt
and turmoil of Liglitu avenue.
H 1. Sybarite turned vest on
Tlnrty-ek-hth street to seek
bis boarding li'u:.s-.
This establishment jUween which
ami the ( five of the smell, his existence
alternated with the monotony of a
pei:di:h:i:i v::s situated midway on
the Mock ca the north side of the
.street.
It blasted a front yard fenced off
from the sidewalk with a rusty railing;
a pl.'t of arid earth scantily tufted
with grass suggesting that stage of
baldness which finally precedes com
plete nudity. IUhind this the iuoat
llke area was spanned to the front
d'r by a racked stoop of brownstnm-.
The house romance took the air upon
the st "op.
George I'.ross was ST per centum of
the houe romance.
The remainder
was Mis Violet Trim. Mr. Rross sat
a step or two below Miss Trim, his
knees adjacent to his chin, h's face,
upturned t his charmer, wreathed In
a fond and fatuous smile.
Saturday was her day for seeming
unusually fair to him: by the following
Thursday there would begin to be a
barely perceptible shadow round the
roots of her golden hair.
Normally good looking in ordinary
daylight, she was a radiant beauty
across footlights. Her active young
person was modeled on generous lines,
and. as a rule, clothed in a manner
which, if Inexpensive, detracted noth
ing from her conspicuous sightliness.
P. Sybarite approached the rate. At
that moment George was announcing
in iin undertone. "Here's the lollop
now. Think I better spring it ou him
now?' he inquired, in doubt.
Gee. no:" protested the lady in
alarm. "It'd spoil the plant, sure. I'd
love to watch you feed it to him. but
heaven knows I'd never be able to
hold in without bustin"."'
I. Sybarite walked into the front
yard, and th? chorus lady began to
crow with delight.
"Well, look who's here! "Tis old
Ceorgo XV. "Postscript as I live! Ililh
rrwards. little one: I would"st speech
myself to thee."
Smiling. I. Sybarite approached the
pair. He liked Miss Trim for her un
affected high spirits.
"Well?" he asked pleasantly, blink
ing up at the lady from the foot of the
steps. "What is thy will. O Breaker
of Hearts?"
"That'll be n I tout all for yours." an
nounced Violet reprovingly. "What's
all this about you pivin" a box party at
the Knickerbocker tonight''"
"It's a fact." affirmed I. Sybarite.
Only I had counted on the pleasure
of inviting you myself." he added with
a patient glance at Ceorge.
"Never mlud about that." interposed
the lady. "I'm just tickled to death,
n nd I love ynn a lot iimre'n I do
George, anyway. So that's all right.
Only I was afraid for awhile he was
innnin' me."
Then slip jumped up and wheeled
about to the dor with petticoats pro-fess'-onnlly

wanna talk to you. Sit down and have
a cig."
There was a hint of serious inten
tion in the manner of the shipping
clerk to induce P. Sybarite, after the
hesitation of an instant, to accede to
his request.
Well?"
"I dunno how to break it to you."
P.ross faltered dubiously. "You better
brace yourself to lean up against the
biggest disappointment ever."
P. Sybarite regarded him with sharp
distrust. "You interest me strangely.
George. Hut perhaps you're no more
addied than usual. Get it off your
chest."
"Well." said George regretfully. "I
just wanna put you next to the facts
before you ask her. Miss Lessing ain't
goin' to go with us tonight."
P. Sybarite looked startled and griev
ed. "I'm afraid I don't understand. How
do you know Miss Lessing wou't go;
Did she tell you so?"
"Not what you might call exactly,
but she won't, all right." George re
turned, with confidence. "There ain't
one chance in n hundred I'm in wrong."
"In wrong? How?'"
"Aliout her being who she is"
P. Sybarite subjected the open, naive
countenance of the shipping cleik to a
prolonged stare of suspicion.
"No; I ain't crazy in the head nei
ther." George asseverated, with some
hear. "1 suspicioned something was
queer aU.ut that girl right along, but
now I know jt. I don't s'pose you seen
the eveniu" paper?"
"No"
"Well. I picked up the Star down to
Clancy's. This is it." With an effec
tive tlourish George drew the sheet
from Lis coat pocket. "And soon's I
seen that." be added, indicating a
smudged half tone, "I begun to wise
up to that little girl. It's sure some
shame about her. ail right, all right."
Taking the paper. P. Sybarite exam
ined with perplexity a portrait labeled
"Marian P.lessington." Whatever its
original aspec t, the coarse mesh cf the
reproducing process had blurred it to
a vague presentment of the head and
shoulders of almost any young woman
with fair hair and regular features,
only a certain, almost indefinable indi
viduality in the pote of the head ren
dered it dimly suggestive of Molly
Lesslng.
Attached to it was:
Jlari.m Elessington. only daughter of the
late Nathaniel IJlcsslnprton. millionaire
founder of the Kreat Illessinstori chain of
department stores. Although much sought
after on account of the immense property
into control of which fhe :s to come on
the twenty-fifth birthday. Miss llessins

Sa.iynon. her guardian and executor of
the Blessintrton estate, cave out the an
nouncement of her engagement to his son.
Baynrd Shaynon.
This encasement was whispered to be
distasteful to the young woman, who is
noted for Iter independent and spirited na-
"It's sure some sHame about her all
right."
ture. and it is now persistently being ru
mored that she has demonstratel her dis
approval by disappearing mysteriously
from the knowledge of her guardian.
It is said that nothing has been known
of her whereabouts since about the 1st of
March, when she left her home in the
Shaynon mansion on Fifth avenue osten
sibly for a Khopping tour.
.J his was flatlycontradicted this jnorn
ing "by Brian Siiaynon, vTho declared that
hi3 ward sailed for Europe Feb. 23 on the
Mauretania and lias since been in con
stant communication with her betrothed
and his family. Ha also denied having
employed detectives to locate his ward.
Th sailing list of the Mauretania fail3 to
give the name of Mis Blessington on the
date named by Mr. Shaynon.
Refolding the paper. P. Sybarite re
turned it without comment.
"Ain't you hep yet?" George be
trayed some little exasperation, mixed
with his disappointment. He slapped
the folded paper resoundingly in the
palm of his hand. "You ain't dropped
to the resemblance between Molly Les
slng and Marian Blessington?"
"Between Miss Lessing and that
portrait?" asked P. Sybarite.
"Why. they're dead ringers for each
other. Any one what can't see that is
blind."
"But I'm not blind."
"Well, then you gotta' admit they
look alike as twins"
"Hut I've known twins who didn't
look alike."
"Ah. nix on the staKinT George
insisted, on the verge of losing his
temper. "Molly I.essipg's the spit'n
image of Marian Blessington and you
know it. What's more look at their
names. Molly for Mary you make
that? Mary and Marian's near enough
alike, ain't they? And what's Lessing
but Blessington. docked goin' and com
in'?" "Wait a second. If I understand
you. George, you're trying to imply
that Miss Bessing is identical with
Marian Blossingtoti.'
"You said somefhin". then, all right.
It's plain's daylight. When did Mis"
Lessing come here? Five weeks ago.
to a day March foist, or close on to it
just when the paper says she did her
disappearin stunt. How yon goin' to
get around that?"
"You forget that the story is con
tradicted by the very person that ought
to know Miss Blessington's guardian."
"Well, if she sailed for Europe on
the Mauretania. like he says how's it
'.orne her name wasn't on the passen
ger list?"
"It's quite possible that she may
have elected to sail incognita."
George displayed his disgust in h
rude, choleric grunt, to see his labori
ous fabrication, so painfully concocted
for the delusion and discomfiture of
P. Sybarite, threatening to collapse of
sheer intrinsic flimsiness. In despera
tion he grasped at one final, fugitive
hope.
"All right."" he said sullenly: "all
right. You don't gotta believe me if
you don't wanta. Only wait that's all
I ask wait. You'll see whether I'm
right or not when she turns down your
invite tonight."
P. Sybarite smiled sunnily. "So that
is why you thought she wouldn't go
with us. is it?"
"Yon got me."
"You thought she. if Marian B'ess
ington. must necessarily be such a
snob that she wouldn't associate with
us poor devils, did you?"
"Wait. You'll see."
"Well. I don't mind telling you you're
wrong. I've already asked Miss Les
sing. and she has accepted."
George's eyes, protruding, glistened
with poignant surprise. After a long
pause he ground his cigarette beneath
his heel and ruse.
"In wrong, as usual." he admitted,
with winning simplicity. "I never did
guess anything right the tirst time.
Only you grab this from me maybe
she's willin' to run the risk of bein
seen with ns. but that ain't sayin" she's
anybody else but Marian Blessington."
"You really think it likely that Miss
Blessington. hiding from her guardian
and anxious to escape detection, would
take a job at the gluve counter of her
own store, where everybody must
know her by sight, where her guard
ian, Shaynon himself, couldn't fail to
see her at least twice a day as he en
ters and leaves the building?"
"That's just her cutcness. She doped
it out that the safet-t place for her
would be the last place he'd look for
her."
"And you real'y think that she, ac
customed to every luxury that money
can buy, would voluntarily come down
to living here at S a week and clerk
ing in a department store simply be
cause, according to the papers, she's
opposed to a marriage that she" can't
be forced to contract in a free country
like this?"
"P'r'aps old Shaynon' s double crossed
her somehow we don't know nothin
about. 'He ain't above it if all they tell
of hint's true. Maybe he's got her coin
away from her, ami she had to go to
work for a livin. Stranger thiegs have
happened in this burg. I'. S."
It was the turn of P. S. to hesitate
in doubt. But he rallied quickly
enough.
"All things are possible, George."
he admitted with his quizzical grin.
"But this time you're mistaken. I'm
not arguing with you. I'm telling you.
you're hopelessly mistaken. Here she
comes now. Ion"t you breathe a word
of this to Miss Lessing."
"Why not?"
"Because I tell you not to because,"
paid 1. Sybarite firmly. "I forbid you."
"You you forbid me? And what"
"S-s-s-h!" P. Sybarite warned him
sibilantly. "Miss Lessing might hear
you. What will happen if you dis
obey me." he ridded as the shopgirl
turned in at the gateway, lowering his
own voice and fixing the shipping
clerk with a steely stare, "will be
another accident, much resembling that
of this afternoon if you haven't for
gotten. Now. mind what I tell you.
and be good."
Mr. Bross swelled with resentment;
exhibited a distorted and empurpled
visage, but kept silence.
Pausing at the foot of the stoop. Miss
Lessing looked up at the two young
men and smiled.
"Good evening." she said, with a
pretty nod for P. Sybarite, and with
its fellow for George. "Good evening.
Mr. Bross." she added.
naving acknowledged this salutation
with that quaint courtesy which some
how seemed to fit him like a garment.
P. Sybarite smiled strangely at the
shipping clerk.
The latter ninmbW something in
coherent, glanced wildly toward the
young woman and spluttered explo
sively, a!! with a blush so deep that
its effect -was apoplectic. Then, with
an inarticulate snort he tamed and
Ced into the house.
Confusion possessed him and with it
rage. Stumbling blindly on the first
flight of steps, he clawed the atmos
phere with fingers that itched for vio
lent revenge.
"I'll pet even," he muttered savage
ly. "I'll get hunk with that boob if It's
the last act of my life!"
It was with a suggestion of stealth
that he ascended the second flight and
paused before the door of the back
hall bedroom opened gently for the
spare of three inches.
"That you, George?" Violet Trim de
manded -with vivacity.
Reluctantly he stopped, and in a
throaty monosyllable admitted his iden
tity. "Did he fall for It?"
"All over himself. Honest. Yi, it was
a scream to watch his eyes pop. You
could've clubbed 'em outa his bean
without touchin his beak. I 'most
died."
Miss Trim piggled appreciatively.
"You're a wonder, George," she ap
plauded. "It takes jou to think 'em
out."
"Ah, I don't know," returned her ad
mirer with becoming modesty.
"He's gone on her, all right, ain't
he?"
"Crazy about her!"
"Think he'll make a play for her
now?"
"You never can tell about P. S.
He's a queer little gink."
Footsteps became audible on the stairs
below.
"Well, so long. See you at dinner,"
George added in haste. With determi
nation, and a heavy tread, he went on
to his room.
When he had shave 1 (with particular
care) and changed his linen (trimming
collar and cuffs to a degree of uncom
mon nicety) and resumed his eont
(brushing and hating it simultaneously
and with equal ferocity for its very
shabbiness), P. Sybarite sought out a
pipe old and disreputable enough to
be a comfort to any man and sat down
by the one window of his room (top
floor, hall, back) o smoke and consider
the state of the universe while await
ing the dinner gong.
The window commanded an elevat
ed, if nonexhilarating. view of back
yards, one and all dank, dismal and
littered with the debris of a long, hard
winter.
Familiarity, however, had rendered
P. Sybarite immune to the miasma of
melancholy they exhaled. The trouble
In his patient blue eyes, the wrinkles
that lined his forehead, owned another
cause.
In fact, George had wrought more
disastrously upon hi-s temper than P.
Sybarite had let him see. Perhaps it
was true. Perhaps George had guess
ed shrewdly. Perhaps Molly Lessing
of the glove counter really was one
and the same with Marian Blessington
of the fabulous fortnne.
Old Brian Shaynon was l known
devil of Infinite astuteness. It woula
be qcjite consistent with his character
and past performances if. despairinc
of gaining control of his ward's mon
ey by urging her into unwelcome mat
rimony with his son. he had contrive I
to overreach her in some manner and
so driven her to become self support
ing.
Perhaps hardly likely, the bypoth
esis was none the less quite plausible.
A thing hud happened within I. Syba
rite's knowledge of Brian Shaynon.
Even if George's romance were only
true in part, these were wretched cir
cumstances for a girl of gentle birth
and rearing to adopt.
It was really a shocking boarding
house. P. Sybarite had known if in
timately for ten years. t"se had made
him callous to its shortcomings.
He could remember most vividly how
he had loathed it for weeks, months,
and years after the tide of evil for
tunes had cast him up on its crum
bling brownstone stoop (even in that
distant daj crumbling).
For an entire decade he had occupied
the same chair at the same table in
the basement dining room, feat-ting on
beef, mutton, fowl. Irish stew, ham
and beans, veal, pork or just hash
according to the designated day of the
week.
The very room in which he sat was
somehow dear to him. Upon it he
wasted n sentiment in a way akin to
that with which one regards the grave
of a beloved friend. It was, in fact,
the tomb of his own youth.
In this narrow room his very self had
been extinguished. A man had degen
erated into a machine. Everything
that caught his eye bore mute wit
ness to this truth.
He was no lonely victim. In his
term he had seen many another come
in hope, linger in disappointment, leave
only to go to a meaner cell in the same
stratum of misfortune.
Was this radiant spirit of youth and
gentle loveliness (who might, for all
one knew to the contrary, be Marian
Blessington, after all) to be suffered
to become one of that disconsolate
crew?
What could be done to prevent it?
Nothing that the wits of P. Sybarite
could compass. He was as inefficient
as any gnat in any web.
