Enthusiastically and turned to the lieu

did so:
"Of. uncle, just to think that he
would not try to help himself keep
out of Jail by telling about rescuing
me from that rufian. And all be-
cause he didn't want to drag me into
the case
Rose drew a deep breath and gazed
adoringly at Jimmy Valentine.
"Oh. uncle" she cried, isn't he a
perfectly dear safe breaker?"
When Jimmy Valentine recovered
from the effect Of Rose Lanes latter-
ing description of him and felt that
he could look the lieutenant governor
in the face without the twitch Of a
single muscle he asked his question
er if there was anything further that

Yes. the combination. How can

Rose Lane smiled %complacently into
the lieutenant governors face.
Handlers face became red-a deep
red that Threatened any moment to
merge into Il rich grape purple hue.
"You go at that safe and open it
just like you need the coin!" be
shouted.
Valentine made a deprecatory ges-
ture.
"You f1atter me-" he answered, and
he smiled a most aggravating smile
that caused the now thoroughly arous.

from the lieutenant governor to the

crouched into one Of the uncomforta-

At this juncture Handler stormed
into the office. He glared angrily at

went o into the waiting room.
"Finished your star chamber ses-

"Mr. Handler" sternly, "let me say

CHAPTER Nv.

y VALENTINES face revealed the
" thrill of surprise that shot
W through him as he learned
' that the nan before him was
no less q parsonage than the lieutenant
governor Of the state. And he might
intercede for him; he might ask the
governor for a pardon! At the same
time Valentine was not insensible Of
the important part the girl at the state
officials side had played in bringing
about his change of fortune. She had
called her uncle's attention to him and
had evidenced keen interest in him.
He would never forget that.
She stood now at the lieutenant gov
ernor's side. uncertain as to exactly
what attitude she should maintain to-
ward the young man in prison stripes
who stood before her uncle and to
whom she owed a lifelong debt of graf
itude.
1t was most embarrassing indeed,
she concluded. She wondered what
rule Of etiquette applied in the case
of a. girl of eighteen who desired to
enter into conversation with q con-
victed safe breaker. The flush in her
cheeks mounted to her forehead, and
into her soft brown eyes came the
dancing, changing lights that were
telltales Of her impulsive temperament.
Jimmy Valentine. conscious of the
girls delicate beauty and noticing that
he still seemed to be the especial OBJ
ject of her attention, found difficulty in
preserving an even demeanor. Finally.
however, he secured a firm grip on
himself and preserved a calm. undis-
turbed bearing with which even the
watchful warden himself could find no
fault. He addressed the lieutenant
governor.

ito present Mr.. Jimmy Valentine.
He's put more time locks on the re-
tired list than any three men in the
whole place. and when it comes to
the fancy getaway only a crosseyed
copper can keep tabs on him."
The warden's picturesque introduce
ton was lost on Rose Lane. She
caught a glimpse of the face Of the
man in felon's stripes. She leaned to
one side to make certain. Yes; now
she could not possibly be mistaken.
She extended her hand spasmodically
and clutched the lieutenant governors
arm.
"Uncle, uncle,' she said chokingly,
lit is hep
whats the matter. child?" was
Fay's anxious response.
'"That is the man who saved me!'
the excited young girl gasped. THAT
is the man who threw the burglar
through the express train window!"
h warden's shifting eye caught
the agitated movement Of Rose Lane
as Jimmy Valentine was brought in.
and he quickly resolved on a course of
procedure that would place the young
prisoner in as bad a light as possible.
AS for the lieutenant governor, he was
almost as astonished as Rose at the
unexpected denouement, and he quiet
ly insisted that she say nothing more
about the subject and calm herself.
So far as outward manifestations
were concerned, the girl followed this
advice fairly we'll, but her heart
pounded uncontrolledly. her pulse
throbbed correspondence, and a wave
of deepest pity surged over her as she
realized the horrible lot to which had
been condemned the hero of the one
great adventure of her life, the gal
liant Prince Charming Of the only real
romance in which she had ever played
a part.
The lieutenant governor addressed
the prisoner:
"How do you do. sir?"
Valentine swung around and faced
, the speaker. He realized that he
could no longer conceal his features
from the spectator. He pressed his
hands nervously together and looked
his questioner squarely in the eyes.
How do you do. STRIP he said in a
low voice.
Handler was watching the exchange
of greetings with keen interest.
"Met before. governor, have you?"
he asked i%ngenuously.

to see you have some types here diff

Fay fastened a pentrating gaze on
Valentine.
The prisoner turned his face away
and toward the warden.
