Gatewood said: "I don't know the truth is I don't care " And stopped. "O-ho!" mused Keen slowly. "I think I understand. Am I wrong, Mr. Gatewood, in surmising that this young lady whom you seek is, in your eyes, very I may say ideally gifted?" "She is my ideal," replied the young man, coloring. "Exactly.

"I wish you happiness," said the older man in a low voice. "The lady you describe exists; it is for us to discover her." "Thank you," stammered Gatewood, astounded.
She was silent; then: "What is her name?" in a low voice which started several agreeable thrills chasing one another over him. "I I decline to answer," he stammered. "On what grounds, Mr. Gatewood?"
