PROFOUNDLY surprised at such a ques-

You're too modest, Cherub. You

time in all my life that I've had even
n speaking acquaintance with a real
good woman. such as you know by the
dozen-that Is, leaving out the last
few days. of course. Now, with YOU
It's been different. You've had a
chance to pick and choose"
"Ah, have II"
Cherub Devine caught the subdued
note Of pain in the quick rejoinder.
"You don't mean, Nick. that you got
a turndown?"
Brusque ms were the words. they
carried message Of sympathetic feel
ing which rang true. and that was the
quality which made so many friends
for Chcrub Devine. Young Mr. Wallo.

ofIhand condolences. but he nodded his
head in assent.
Unexpectedly finding himself an in

Again young Mr. Walloway inclined
his head. He got up. took seat on
the other side Of the car and unfOlded

II was less than an hours ride at
best. but before it was half over
Cherub Devine was consulting watch
and time table and had again shifted
his seat to the forward chair. where he
could watch for the name boards on
the stations.
Perceiving this unusual agitation OF
a mind normally free from such dis
turbances. you might suspect that Mr..
Devine was about to make some great
venture. 1t was fact. His plans.
however. were somewhat vague About
the only definite part OF his program
was his decision to turn himself out
Of house and home Immediately upon
reaching Hpwin-ton Acres This de-
tail was already prepared. The Count.

Impregnable Den Built by
Outlaws of Last Genera
ton, Discovered.

LOS ANGELES. March 21.-High up in
the San Jacinto mountains in an almost
impregnable retreat established by out
laws Of thirty-nve years aE-, deputy
sheriffs have discovered a storehouse OF
plumber stolen in recent months from the
three transcontinental railroads near
Cotton. Had any robber been on guard.
the stronghold could have been captured
only by siege
a man arrested on suspicion Of being
implicated in the rObbeTies disclosed the
location Of the cache, and five officers
made the search for It. Il was within
a great cavern far UP mighty canyon,
whose entrance was so blocked by
breastworks Of huge bouideTs and logs
that one man could defend il.
Thirty-five years ago the retreat was
constructed by outlaws who terrorized
the valley settlers. For years the exist
ence OF such a robbers den had been
cnly legendary.
