was dragged away, hugging her Betsy
close.
There came tho Secretary, pale.

and worshipping pomp and ceremony.
He counted out into Fuzzy's hand ten
ten-dollar bills; then dropped his eye,
upon the door, transferred it to James;
Its custodian, indicated the obnoxious

and allowed his pumps to watt him
away to secretarial regions.
When the money touched Fuzzy's
d1ngy palm his first instinct was to-
take to his heels; but a second
thought restrained him from that
blunder of etiquette. 1t was his; it.

what an elysium it opened to the gaze,

him to pass into the vestibule.
Beyond the wrought-iron gates in
the dark highway Black Riley and his
two pals casually strolled, lingering
under their coats the inevitably fatal
weapons that were to make the re-
ward OF the rag-doll theirs.
Fuzzy stopped at the Millionaire's
door and betl ought himself. Like lit
tie sprigs of mistletoe on dead tree,
certain living green thoughts and
memories began to decorate his con-
fused mind. He was quite drunk,

grounds He saw leg Of Betsy, the
lost rag-doll, protruding, like the clue
to Liliputian murder mystery. from
