Chapter I. HONEY FOR BAIT
THE bright-eyed girl left the Fifth Avenue bus at Thirtieth Street and walked north one block and west
one block. By that time three gentlemen, and they were really gentlemen, were trailing her hopefully, not
because she looked like a girl who could be picked up, but because she really was such a
wonderful-looking thing.

She sat at a table in a restaurant which served a three-dollar luncheon.

Eventually, the head waiter approached and asked her, “Miss Cushing?”

She nodded.

“A call for you,” said the head waiter. He carried a telephone which he plugged in at her table. Having
done that, he bowed with the extra flourish that he reserved for customers like this one and departed.

“Yes,” the girl said into the telephone.

“Boy, oh, boy!” said a brash male voice in the receiver. “Cut off my tail and call me beautiful! Where did
they dig up a gorgeous butterfly like you?”

The girl asked coolly, “Who is this, please?”
“This? Oh, this is poor, down-trodden Mr. Adam.”

“Adam looking for his Eve, I presume.”
