was extremely nervous, that her lips
were dry. and the hand she put up
to adjust her veil. and thus hide her
intractable mouth, was shaking. The
admiration he had of late felt for her
insolent fearlessness increased, also
he began to feel that now, at last, he
was rising to the position Of master
OF the situation. He leaned back In
the swivel chair and glowered at her.

The Bonanza King made no answer.

echo Of his own desires and opinions.

might have regretted his action and
telephoned from his office to stop the
payment on it. She knew that once
the money was hers he would not
make any attempt to get 1t back. His
own reputation and that Of his daugh-
ter were too inextricably bound up
with the transaction for him to dare
to apprehend or punish Berny for her
deception.
Her heart gave wild leap as she
saw the teller returning. and then
pause behind the netting of his golden
cage while he counted out the bills.
She tried TO speak lightly to him as
he laid them one by one on the glass
slab. She was hardly conscious of

that the crisp roll of paper In her
fingers was her possession. II not OF
great fortune. at least OF something
to stand between her and the world.
When she left the bank she walked
forward slowly. the excitement which
had carried her on to this point hav.

and tired. She entered the railway
office and bought her ticket for New
York for that evenings train. Then
once more emerging into the sun
