While we talked, In came your dis

Whispering Smith looked at Dicksie,
quizzically. Her confusion was de-
lightful He rose, lifted her hand in
his own, and, bending, kissed 1t.
They talked till late, and when
Dicksie walked on the porch McCloud
followed to smoke. Whispering Smith
still sat at the table talking to Marion,
and the two heard the sound Of the
low voices outside. At intervals Dick
sizes laugh came In through the open
door.
Whispering Smith, listening, said
nothing for some time, but once she
laughed peculiarly. He pricked up his
ears. What has been happening since
l left town."
What do you mean?" asked Marion
Sinclair.
He nodded toward the porch. NC
Cloud and Dicksie out there. They
have been fixing things up"
Nonsense! What do you mean%

said Smith, modestly, but when a
woman laughs like that l think there's
something doing. Don't you believe
It? Call them In and ask them. You
won't? Well, l will. Take them in
separate rooms. You ask her and I'll
ask him"
In spite OF Marion's protests the two
were brought in. II am required by
Mr.. Smith to ask you a very silly
question, Dicksie," said Marion, taking
her into the living room. Answer yes
or no. Are you engaged to anybody?
What a question! Why, no."
Marion Sinclair wants to know just
one thing, George" said Whispering
Smith to McCloud, after he had taken
him into the dark shop. she feels
she ought to know because she is in a
way Dicksie's chaperone, you know
and she feels that you are willing she
should know. l don't want to be toe
serious, but answer yes or no. Are
you engaged to Dicksie?"
why, yes. -
That's all; 90 back to the porch,
directed Whispering Smith. McCloud
obeyed orders.
Marion, alone in the living room
was waiting for the inquisitor, and hel
face wore a look Of triumph. "You
are not such a mind-reader after all
are you? l told you they weren't"
II told you they were," commended
Whispering Smith.
"She says they are not" insisted
Marion.

McCloud, stunned at her words, led
her to his chair and bent over her.

A flood of sympathy bore them to-

for interruption, but the dispatcher's
