A Race For an Income
By HERBERT MONTGOMERY


But surely the man will never strain
the law to rob his own child?" cried
Mr. Catchem-
I'm not so sure of that His infat-
uation is having a tough battle with
his conscience. But I'm afraid his con-
science is getting the worst of it, Miss
Trixie plays with him like a salmon
with the hook tight in his gills. She
has run away to a seaside village in
the west of ireland and swears she
won't as much as look at him until the
deed is executed.
And where is he"
"Oh. he's in Ireland, too. at place
called Rathcool, in the south; cannot
bear to have the sea between himself
and his charmer. He won't hold out
much longer, I'm afraid"
Then I don't see any way out of it,"
said Mr.. Catchem.
I'VE have introduced a quiet little
bill in the house of lords which will
repeal the old act of Queen Elizabeth,
which allows a man to defeat his own
grant, and will make voluntary con-
veyances' absolute against what we
call in law purchaser with notice.
The bill is half way through the lords.
The lord chancellor has promised the
royal assembly deputy, of course-the
day after the bill passes the third
reading in the commons
Its a race, then, between your bill
and their deed for a five thousand
year stake?'

but I don't see where I come in"

business is through. Sharkey & Snip
pit are as sharp as scissors and shut as
tight They are in constant commu-
nication with Miss Trixie. If you go to
Ireland you may be able to tap the wire
at that end Miss Trixie is as loose and
lively as they are close"
ct seems to me that your game is to
keep your own secret, not to catch
theirs"
Both. my dear man, both. 1 do trust
you will not refuse to help us. Expense

I'll go; I'd like to do the little girl

Miss Trixie Mordant felt particularly

County Clare. The passionate appeals

their heads together to plan some way
to catch the thief. They dig pitfalls
here and there around their garden
plots and cover them with leaves and
branches. In the center of the pit they
fasten a sharp stake, which will pierce
the enemy if it comes waddling along
there and falls into the trap.
Sometimes the great, clumsy hippo
potamus really does fall into the pit
and upon the stake. Then there is re-

They were not long putting my
