It was clear that he had made the most favorable impression upon Seebrook and Walters; and in the cordial handshaking and expressions of hope for future meetings Archie joined with the best spirit he could muster. A cheery good-by caused him to look up. Miss Seebrook with a red rose in her hand waved to him from her window.
The Governor for a man of his compact build was amazingly agile and quick of foot and hand. He was now creeping along the little balcony at the third floor. He paused a moment and then vanished into an open window. The Governor had said that the Seebrook party had rooms just under their own; but "I have chosen a star for you," Miss Seebrook was murmuring.
But we're having a good time and I shan't mind another day or two. If only you gentlemen would bear us company!" "Ah, you are very kind!" said the Governor; "but we must resume our ramble toward the Pacific. We are more or less dated up for little entertainments on the way." "I certainly envy you," said Walters ruefully. "Seebrook and I belong to the large class of men who work for a living."
I should have known from the way you played up to the Seebrook girl that you were far too susceptible to be trusted with women. The error is mine; not yours, Archie; I don't blame you a particle. Indeed the incident warms my heart to you. Sally is a winsome lass; she has a way with her, that girl!"

Seebrook and Walters obligingly assisted, laughing at Congdon's eccentricities. "The arrival of that enchanting old crank increases my grief at leaving," declared the Governor. "A delightful person.
There's Leary's suitcase and I've packed it with our soiled linen and stuck in a pair of shoes for weight. Seebrook's legal tender is neatly rolled up in my best silken hose in my kit bag. Hark! There's Seebrook tumbling into his bed, which is just beneath mine!" "You're getting me in pretty deep," mumbled Archie dejectedly.
Something very unlike a star but more like the glimmer of a match in a room on the third floor held his fascinated gaze, and it was difficult to be interested in the conversation of even so pretty a girl as Miss Seebrook when an audacious thief was at work only a little way beyond her.
"That will suit me perfectly," replied Seebrook. Archie hung about impatiently waiting for the Governor to make his farewells to the old lady and her granddaughters on whom he had expended his social talents at the dance. Mr.
The light from a garden lamp played upon her head and brightened in her fair hair. Miss Seebrook was speaking of music, and reciting the list of operas she loved best when Archie's gaze was caught and held by a shadow that flitted along an iron fire escape that zigzagged down from the fourth to the first story of the long rambling inn. "You seem very dreamy," remarked Miss Seebrook.
He produced a piece of paper on which he had scratched one of the diagrams he was eternally sketching as though consulting a memorandum of an address. "I shall be back shortly," he said as they separated in the office. Seebrook and Walters found their bridge partners and Archie and Miss Seebrook joined the considerable company that were already dancing.
