"As Signor Fantoccini, or as Mr. Comstalk?" "I have long since resigned my position in the museum; it was too exciting." She made no rejoinder; and for some time there was no sound but the music of the bells. Finally we drew up under the colonial portè-cochere of Hollywood Inn and were welcomed by the genial Moriarty himself, his Celtic countenance a mirror of smiles.
"I know I haven't done anything especially gallant to-night; no fighting, no rescuing, and all that. They just moved me around like a piece of stage scenery." A smile flashed and was gone. It was a hopeful sign. "But the results are the same. You have admitted to me that you are neither engaged nor married. Won't you take me on on approval?" "Mr. Comstalk, it all seems so like a horrid dream.
"You have, or have had, several thousand dollars' worth of gems on your person to-night." I shrugged. The accusation was so impossible that my confidence returned.

Of course I know him," answered Teddy; "and I'll stake my last dollar on his honesty." "But " began the chief, seized with sudden misgivings. "It is impossible, I tell you," interrupted Hamilton.
She was struggling to repress the almost irresistible smile that tickled her lips. "In times like these," said I, determined not to be outdone, "we are often thoughtless in regard to our personal appearances. I apologize to the lady." "Fine, fine! I sincerely admire you, Mr. Comstalk. You have the true spirit of adventure. Hasn't he, William?" "He certainly has, sir."
