Associated Nawspapcrs.

rREEMAN had expected that
^ Palmerton would be changed. He
didn’t know why; unless it was be
cause a college town is apt to
change In ten years’ time.
He was, therefore, at once sur
prised and disappointed. A little
puzzled, too. The road which led
from the depot to the main street
was dusty, covered with a layer of
cinders. It had been like that ten
years before.
Freeman came abreast of “T”
Hall and stopped. His smile deep
ened. There was a change for you.
He couldn’t for the life of him think
of Thompson Hall as anything but
Thompson Hall now, which had a
touch of dignity to It.
Freeman wasn’t sure that he was
going to enjoy his visit as much as
he had anticipated. This idea to at
tend his fraternity reunion had been
the result of sudden impulse, pro
voked by a long existing and sup
pressed longing. There was a girl
behind it.
Freeman paused abruptly. To the
right of him a shaded lane ran off
toward a distant growth of hard
woods and pine. Midway between
the street and the growth, he re
membered, the lane widened and
there was a stone bench that over
looked a gentle slope with a river
below. Ten years ago Freeman had
sat on this bench with Eleanor and
made ardent love. He had prom
ised all sorts of things, and Eleanor
—Eleanor King, her name was, a
co-ed—had returned his love-making
and promised she would meet him
there ten years hence and—
Erven Campbell and Jack Hyde
and Howard Pace were all at the
fraternity house when Freeman ar
rived. They had been his bosom
companions. Roommates. Good
scouts, all of them. They greeted
him profusely.
There was a dance to be held that
night in the gymnasium; a ball in
honor of the old grads. Erv and
Jack and Howard were looking for
ward to a gay time.
They rode up to the gym In How
ard Pace’s roadster. The cool night
air cleared Freeman’s head. He fol
lowed the others inside and stood
for a while near the door. Erven
Campbell had already cut in on one
of the fraternity members and was
M
Of
darling.”
. course,

clumsily trying to keep time to the
music. Unconsciously, Freeman
found himself comparing Erven with
the others. Ten years ago Erven
had been considered a good dancer,
popular with the co-eds, a social suc
cess. Tonight he seemed strangely
out of place, awkward. The girl
with whom he danced looked mis
erable.
It was October. The night was
clear and cold, with a full bright
moon. Main street was deserted,
save for a few late arrivals hurry
ing to the dance. It would be easy.
Freeman thought as he walked back
toward the fraternity, to imagine
himself young again.
He hesitated at the beginning of
the shaded lane that led to the stone
bench, laughed a little, and then on
impulse turned into the lane. Still
chuckling, he strolled along unhur
riedly and came presently to the
stone bench.
Abruptly he stopped. The bench
was occupied! Freeman’s heart
stopped and then pounded ahead.
Eleanor then had remembered I Her
promise had been more than a
youthful utterance of words.
Freeman took a step forward,
caught himself in the very nick of
time. The figure on the bench had
moved, became two. Freeman,
steadying himself against a tree,
heard the murmur of their voices.
Their words came to him distinctly,
and unashamed he listened.
“. . . of course, I love you, dar
ling. And I always will. You’ll see.
Ten years from now I’ll come back
here and sit on this very bench and
wait for you. I promise. It will
prove how muph I care—waiting ten
years—”
Freeman turned away. A smile
played about his lips and he seemed
strangely contented. Something like
a weight had been lifted from inside
| of him. Perhaps it was because of
j the fear he had a moment ago
; known—the possibility of Eleanor’s
| disappointment.
Yet, without knowing why, he was
glad he’d come . . .

RS. CORNELIUS L. De WOLFE
strolled one bright, sunny
morning down the hedge-lined flag
stone walk that extended from the
side terrace of the great DeWolfe
estate, via flower garden, swimming
pool, summer house, tennis court,
greenhouse and lawn. At the gate,
which shut out the common world
from the exclusiveness of the De
Wolfe grounds, Mrs. Cornelius L.
paused, was, in fact, about to turn
and retrace her steps when her eye
chanced to rest upon the gate latch.
A feeling first of surprise, then of
anger, then of faint alarm gripped
her in respective succession. The
gate was unlocked and was swing
ing gently upon its hinges. Mrs.
DeWolfe frowned, thinking of the ex
act words she would use when dis
charging the gardener, Pierre, for
his neglect
Trembling, pale of face, she re
turned to the privacy of her own
grounds, securely locked the gate
and hurried up the winding path.
Near the flower garden she encoun
tered Pierre, who, at sight of her,
doffed his hat and waited respect
fully for the corpulent lady to catch
her breath.
•“Pierre,” she managed at last, “I
have just made the most dreadful
discovery! I found the gate un-!
locked—and what do you suppose!
There’s a chalk mark on the side
walk in the lane beyond.”
“I beg your pardon, ma’am?”
“A chalk mark, idiot! A cross—
made with a piece of chalk. Have
you no idea what that means?
Pierre, It means this house is
marked! Marked, I tell you!”
“Marked, ma’am? By whom?”
“Gangsters, of course!” Mrs. De
Wolfe was becoming fairly exasper
ated. There had been a stirring ac
count of the chalk mark method in
the morning paper. “Don’t you un- ,
derstand? Gangsters. They have
picked our home as a likely prospect
to rob. They know that Mr. DeWolfe
Is away for the week. They place
a sign on the walk. Pierre, we are
about to be robbed, possibly mur
dered!”
mrj. uewuue cyea rierre angrily,
yet she would not be deterred from
lending a bit of drama to the mo
ment. “Pierre,” she said with an
expansive gesture, “hurry at once
and warn Arturo. Tell him to arm
himself and guard the gate with his
life. After that you had better warn
the remainder of the servants.”
Mrs. DeWolfe started briskly up
the walk. Pierre replaced his hat,
sighed deeply, shook his head and
shuffled off in search of Arturo, the
chauffeur.
Pierre found the chauffeur polish
ing the hood of Mrs. DeWolfe’s lim
ousine. “The old lady’s at it again,”
he said, sitting down at the running
board and tugging a pipe from his
hip pocket.
Pierre sighed and tamped tobacco
into his pipe. "Oh, she found a
chalk mark on the sidewalk outside
the west gate. Thinks it’s a sign
put there by gangsters, and we’re all
to be murdered and robbed.”
"Well, of all the dumb, crazy, half
witted notions!” Arturo stood erect
and placed a hand on either hip.
“Say, she’s nuts!”.
“Oh, I dunno,” Pierre struck fire
to his pipe. “I dunno, Artie. May
be it’s because we don’t understand
her. She’s one of them kind of folks
who likes exciting things; likes to be
dramatic. Romantic, I guess you
call it. And nothin* ever happens
around here. Nothin.’ Not a dang
thing to satisfy that cravin’ In her.”
Midnight came and went. The
lights in the house had long since
been extinguished. There was only
stillness now, broken by the scarcely
audlbie rustle of a gentle wind
through the hedges.
Suddenly Mrs. DeWolfe, watching
from her darkened bedroom win
dow, emitted a gasp. She had seen
near the west gate the skulking flg- t
ure of a man. The figure disap
peared. Then abruptly the still night
air was shattered by a shout. It was
followed by the sound of running
feet, the west gate opening, a re
volver shot, a scream, a curse . . .
silence.
Thrilled beyond her wildest
dreams, Mrs. DeWolfe rushed below
stairs and flung open the west ter
race door. A moment she stood
there, breathing heavily. Pierre, his
face streaked with blood, suddenly
emerged into the circle of light, i
stopped at sight of her and doffed
his hat.
“Pierre! What happened?”
“It was a gangster, ma'am. Ar
turo and I trapped him. He got
away, but I don’t think he’ll come
back right oft.”
Mrs. DeWolfe clutched at her
throat. “Pierre, you brave man!
Tell me—’’ her voice was soft and
gentle, “—are you hurt, Pierre?”
"No, ma’am. Cut up a little. I’ll
go back to my room now an’ wash
up, if you don’t mind, ma’am.”
Out in the gardener’s cottage
Pierre, too, was smiling. He washed
the streaks of catsup from his cheeks
and sighed contentedly, the sigh of
a man whose duty has been well per
formed. He sighed again and
smiled, thinking of the account of
the chalk mark method he had read
■n the morning paper.
