THE CASH INTRIGUE
Continued from Page Thirteen)


Kelvin, by merely opening his mouth
with Breeds consent, stops the panic.
What does he dot He issues to the
press this morning an announcement
that the cash drain has stopped, that
Breed nc longer requires shipments OF
actual money for his bread. and that

Will be restored; people win go back
to work. Don't you see the mOnstrous
thing IN this2 The very lives OF hun
dreds of thousands of men, women
and children have depended upon this

day that system win be swept away,
and with 1t must be swept young Kel-

OF reform. You ought to compare

them these places, because he used to

Rensselaer,. I'm the meantime would

Phillip and Elsie had by this time
left the garden and were now walking
slowly toward the house.
YES" Blagg admitted, 1T would,
and it makes It all the harder when
you see &c beautiful girl as that look
ing ND at him with that amount of
alteration"
Lillian Breed, coming from a cross
path Just behind Phillip and Elsie and
half concealed by shrubbery, stopped
instantly as she saw them, elutching
her hand upon her breast and half
crouching.
Look at that girlp' said Rensselaer,.
Elm figure she is positively the most
beautiful creature / have ever seen.
But she is beautiful like cat, like
tigress-"
He glanced at Blaggs face and half
recoiled It flashed upon him instant
ly that If LILLIAN were a tgress here
was the male of her species. His eyes
were blazing, and his lips were parted
in almost a snarl as he viewed the
succeeding tableau. Lillian suddenly
advanced upon Kelvin and Elsie,
startling them both. They found her
smiling. Blagg and Rensselaer, could
see her give some brief but peremp-
tory directions to Elsie, and the maid,
hastily taking basket from Phillips
hand, hurried into the house. Phillip,
outwardly unmoved, saw her go, and
outwardly unmoved he walked with
Lillian out of view around the wing
of the house.
"And the queer thing Of It." said
Rensselaer, a tIife regretfully. "is that
he doesn't carr a hang for either Of
them"
THAT'S itr' e] claimed Blagg. That's
lust what I'm telling you. He cares
for no creature in this world but him
self!''

Rensselaer,.

over a very large sheet of white card
board, ruled and cross ruled in blue
and red, and swept his eye across the
AUTOMATICALLY arranged figures.
"Ths situation clears up more the

Breed sat down upon the sim settee
which Kelvin had insisted upon having
in this room instead OF a padded NOR
ris chair. His beady eyes gltttered
above his hawklike nose; his pointed
chin was tilted.

Kelvin.
