The Lady in the Limousine.
West, still attired in khaki uniform, I
but wearing the red chevron of lion- j
orablo discharge on his left sleeve, !
sat in tile club writing room, his feet j
comfortably elevated, endeavoring to
extract some entertainment from the
evening paper. The news was not
particularly interesting, however, and
finally, obsessed with the feeling that
It would soon he time fur him to seri-
ously contemplate the procuring of
suitable employment, the young man
turned the sheet about rather idly, and
ran his eyes dowp the columns devoted
to classified advertising.
llulf way down the first column, un-
der the head of “miscellaneous,” lie
paused and read a paragraph with
some Interest; then read it over again,
emitting a soft whistle between his
teeth.
“Well, by Jove!” he said to himself
slowly, “That doesn't sound so bad,
either | out of the ordinary, at least.
Say, Thompson,” nnd lie turned to
a tnll young fellow busily writing nt
the adjoining desk, nnd shoved the
paper under his eyes, pointing nt the
paragraph which had attracted atten-
-Hon./wlth one finger, "What do you
makq out of that, old man?"
The other, rather sober-faced, nnd
slow; of speech, rend the advertisement
word by word, with no change of ex-
presjlon.
“Hot," he said solemnly. “Either n
Joke, or some scheme on. Why? In-
terepted in it?" v
“In a measure, yes. I've a good
mind to answer, nnd take a chance."
“i'ou'rc a fool If you do, Mutt,” de-
cisively, nnd turning back to his
wriyng. "That Is some game being
pulfed off. Likely ns not It means
blackmail. Besides there is no ad-
dress.”
‘That’s one thing I like about it,”
retorted the other; “They are In earn-
est, and taking no chances of having
tlieiiS purpose guessed nt. By Jove, 1
don't see how any one cun get in had,
merely by finding out what It all
menus."
"W,c!l, do ns you please; you would
anyhiw. Only you have my advice."
West read the Item again. lie had
been eighteen months in France, and
his discharge from the army had left
him bhred and dissatisfied with the ;
dull routine of civil life. He dreaded
to get i hock into the harness-of a
prosaic existence; even ids profession
as a civil engineer had someway lost
Its chnrai. He had tasted the joy of
adventure, the thrill of danger, and It
was still alluring. Tills advertisement
promised a mystery which strangely
attracted his imagination.
"Wanted: Young man of edu-
cation and daring for service In-
volving some personal peril. Good
pay, and unusual reward If suc-
cessful. May have to leave city.
Rurpo | disclosed only in personal
interv. tv."
As Thompson had pointed out. tills
was not signed, nor any address given.
West crossed over to on unoccupied
desk, and wrote a reply, changing the
wording several times, and finally mak-
ing a clean copy. The answer read:
To Advertiser: Am 20; late cap-
tnln of Engineers; university
grudunte, adventurous disposition.
Would he glad to consider your
proposition. Address, Box 57,
L'nlverslty club.”
He placed tills in an envelope, called
a club messenger, und, handing the
boy a sum of money, sent him over to
the newspaper office.
Two days elapsed before an answer
appeared in his box ; a smnll envelope,
addressed in a lady’s handwriting ap-
parently, and mailed from one of the
sub-postoffices. The brief note read;
“Box 57, University club.
“Your answer to advertisement
makes a good impression, nnd I am
willing to put you to the further test
of a personal meeting. If you are in
earnest In tills matter, and quite pre-
pared to assume the necessary risk,
you will be at the northwest corner
of Spaulding park at 5:30 tomorrow
afternoon. Do not come liyAmlform,
but it will be well to bring evening
clothes In a bag. Be sure of yourself,
and be prompt.
“Very truly yours, v
"The Advertiser."
West read this over, again and
again, smoking furiously, and endeav-
oring to weigh eacli word. The letter
sounded honest and sincere; the
writer evidently had a purpore in
view, and was selecting an agent with
great care and secrecy. No hint as to
what that object was would be re-
vealed blindly—he must be tried in
every way first; thoroughly tested ns
to both character and courage. Un-

would go, but would make every ef-
fort to protect himself against any
possible treachery, lie Imd a room nt
the club, und wrote u letter or two be-
fore proceeding to dross, arranging
for their personal delivery In case he
failed to return at a designated time;
carefully examined his service revolv-
er, and deposited It in the pocket of
the business suit he decided to wear.
Satisfied with these arrangements, he
dressed rapidly, and then packed ills
ling, hearing it In ids hand ns lit* de-
parted In ample time for the point of
rendezvous. A cab took him to the
place designated, and he found him-
self alone in a rather desolate spot,
with which he was in no way fninll-
inr. He had no knowledge of how he
wns to he approached, nr Identified,
but Ids being requested to bring a
i-ng containing evening clothes, some-
how suggested riding, rather than
walking, and consequently ills eyes
followed more or less Intently the con-
stant stream of automobiles.
He grew restless and doubtful ns the
moments slipped pnst. Then suddenly,
without the slightest warning, a black
limousine whirled'In alongside the
curb, and came to a stop Immediately
in front of 'where lie waited. The
chauffeur, dressed In plain dark livery,
stepped nut, nnd threw open the rear
door, without asking so much as a
question. Except that the fellow stood
there, looking directly toward him, his
fingers on the latch, expectantly,
YVejt would not have known that he
was wanted. Yet It was all so obvious
lie could not question. Silently he
picked up his bag, nnd stepped for-
ward. He saw no one within, but firm
in the belief that the chauffeur must
have Ills orders, he elite, ed blindly,
the door closing instantly behind him.
Tlie curtains were drawn, the interior
gloomy and Indistinct, and the driver
had resumed Ills sent, arid started the
motor, before West realized that he
wns not alone. In one corner of the
wide Imck sent, drawn hack from any
possible observation from without, sat
a woman.
At first glance he could only barely
distinguish the outlines of her figure,
“We Are to Be Either Friends or Ene-
mies.”
doubtedly steps had already been tak-
en to do this. The delay in reply
would have afforded opportunity for
some investigation, ns iris address
would give the necessary clue to hip
identity. • The. request for evening
clothes, __however, rather _ reassured
dimly discernible against the dark
background of the upholstery, hut, ns
his eyes accustomed themselves to
the faint light, her features also be-
came dimly visible—enough so, nt
least, to convince him that she was
young. Neither spoke for some mo-
ments, while the automobile gathered
speed, and West had an uncomfortable
feeling that the lady was watching
him with great Intentness. He eoi.ld
only quietly await her explanation of
tills strange situation. The delay was
not a long one. She laughed, nervous-
ly perhaps, yet with a sense of humor
nt the awkward position.
“Quite melodramatic, is it not, Cap-
tain Weal?" ah* asked, in a decidedly
pleasant voice. “I trust it appeals
thoroughly to that disposition for ad-
venture of which you wrote.”
“Nothing more could be desired, I
am sure," he confessed, surprised at
her tone, and glancing toward her. “I
certainly am left completely In the
dark, unable even to clearly distin-
guish my mysterious companion in
adventure."
“And there realty Is no lunger tiny
occasion for such concealment,” Sh£
lifted the heavy curtain beside Iter,
jjx’naitting the grey light to'rest ujmui
her face. "7 pre'e. rcu not to he seen
nt tile park for obvious reasons; but
here, alone with you. such precaution
I* quite unnecessary. We are to be
cillirr friends or enemies, so frankness
is the best course,"
He saw the face of a young woman
of twenty-four. «r five, with dark eyes
and hair, tier cheeks flushed with
health and excitement, her lips smil-
ing. It was a face of unusual attrac-
tiveness. not regular, perhaps. In any
of its features, yet filled with charms
ter, ami glowing with life. He liked the
girl, ami believed lo her.
“I can only thunk you." he said,
rattier lamely. “Although I do not
understand now liow we could ever
become enemies. Surely, that Is not a
threat?"
"Oh. no, it Is far too true. You have
yet to lenrh what I require. Yet that
Wtis Vei-y nicely said. , I take It to
mean your flr“t impression of me is
not unfavorable?"
“Very -far from it. I am already
deeply Interested in my task. If I
lacked an Incentive before, you have
furnished It."
She laughed again softly, her eyes
still on Ids face.
"Really, I bail not anticipated such
n sincere compliment. No doubt you
lettrhed these delightful speeches In
France," she answered, a very fnint
tinge of sarcasm lh the words. "How-
ever, tills is a very serious matter,
Captain West, nnd really lias nothing
to do with my personal appearance. I
am seeking neither flirtation nor com-
pliment; merely a trustworthy agent.
First of all, It Is necessary that you
comprehend tills."
He howpd, Impressed by her man-
ner, nnd sdinewhnt ashamed of his Im-
petuosity.
“I accept the reproof," he said
quietly, “and will endeavor henceforth
not to offend In any way. I am en-
tirely nt your service."
"There Is no offense; I merely
thought It best there should lie no mis-
understanding. Now, I nin sure, we
can proceed Intelligently. Indeed, I
am going to frankly confess. I nlso
like your appearance. This mutual
liking ought to be half the battle. We
have quite a ride before ns yet; you
may question me if you wish.”
“You mean I am to question you
freely."
"Assuredly; while I am to remain
quite ns free In my answers. That Is
perfectly fair, Is it not?”
“At least, it sounds so. Where nm I
being transported, then? And why the
dress suit?" _
HU questions evidently amused, for
her eyes sparkled.
"Naturally that query comes first;
and especially the dress suit. Y'oti
have the prejudices ol’ your sex. I see,
nnd without regret. I shall endeavor
to reply categorically, yet with reser-
vations. We are going to a country
home, where we dine, in company with
a few guests.”
“I see; I am first of nil to be pro-
Je, ted Into society. Are any of these
guests known to me?"
“God forbid; ami I may even ven-
ture to predict that you will never care
to know any of them again. Yon are
to be present us my guest, and will so
be welcomed."
“I feel tlie honor; but would It not
be well under these circumstances for
me to know more clearly whose guest
I am? Suppose, for instance, I had to
refer to our long friendship. It would
be extremely awkward not to even be
able to mention your name."
