Miss Kelly" said he, would you
mind taking that receiver off your
head while Pm telephoning?"
Certainly" she answered In evident
ill-temper at the slur implied by the
request
She carefully removed and hung up
the metal crescent that held the re-
ceiver to her left ear. Standish had
closed the booth door and, from the
corner of her eye, Wanda could see
him through the glass pane, speaking
into the transmitter But she had
barely noted the first movement of his
lips when Blake and Mark Robertson
appeared from the diningroom. She
turned her attention to them.
Blake glanced unobtrusively toward
the row of telephone booths and his
half-shut eyes lighted ever SO little as
he made out Standish's figure behind
the glass. But he made no other
sign that he noted the successful
springing of the trap he had so pains
takingly set. In fact, he was talking
ent topics.
Tom tells me-" Wanda heard him
say, that Grace is coming down."
Yes" answered Robertson, his face
brigtening at mention Of his wifes
name, either tonight or tomorrow
morning. And that reminds me: l

Miss Kelly" he went on, can you get
me New York wire?"
Yes, SIR" said Wanda; but it'll
take few minutes to get the connec-
ton"
"All right" replied Robertson, as she
busted herself amid the labyrinth of
switchboard plugs, I'll wait here for
it. L"
He stopped as Standish came out of
the booth and laid down a bill for
Wanda to change. Robertson, the
happy light of anticipation dying out
Of his face at sight of his foe, turned
his back ostentatiously upon him. Nor
did he speak again till Standish had
gone away Then he looked around.

Well" Blake was saying. Gould

NO" answered Wanda, still deeply
offended at Standish's request. Not

| ceiver."
HUH" grunted Blake. He's got
more sense than l thought. But the
number? You got the number, of
course. Didn't you?"
"Oh. yes,' she returned, 81 got the

Blake the edited pages. Look it over
and see how it strikes you.
Blake took the manuscript and
scanned its contents from beneath his
dropped lids. AS he read, look of
unqualified approval replaced the
doubt on his face. He nodded en-
phatically, once or twice. In his in
terest he unconsciously muttered, half
aloud.

murmured "'A moralist dethroned-

He seldom did so. The commanding
generals place is on convenient

fray. And. for divers reasons, Blake
had chosen his son-in-law's apartment,
on this night as his hilltop. The tele-
phone admirably filled for him the dual
roles of spy-glass and courier. Just
now, he was listening intently to n

Arrangements had been made by a
party of young men to meet at their
home on South Holman street and
gave them a noisy welcome to our fair
city. but it was found that the couple
were at the Country club and this
caused a hasty, but effective revision
of plans.
Mr. and Mrs. Woods were lured from
the club down Ruth street, where they
were marched in the middle of the
thoroughfare to Holman street. From
the corner of Ruth to the Woods resi-
dence, red fire Illuminated the street
and so much of 1t was burning at the
house that it seemed ablaze. Armed
with tin horns and other din ma kin &
machinery, the chari-varists made life
miserable for the newly weds for some
time.
When they had concluded the cere-
monial and gone home and peace and
quiet reigned, another mob of young
folk stormed the Woods residence and
gave a splendid imitation of the bat
ties of Gettysburg and Wilderness
combined.
1t was a sleepless night for the
neighborhood, for no one knew but
what third party would show up. but
to say that the affairs were bowling
successes is putting it mildly.
