 For an instant the innocent wonder ing smile again illumined Wanda's up- turned face. Then, like Blake. she evidently wearied of futile word-fenc- ing, for she said. incisively:
 q see. I've got the idea. Youm spring this story of the Woman on him. You'll make him think you've almost got her in your net You1l try to scare him into hustling to the near est telephone and warming her. He'll know you're having him watched. So he won't dare 10 go 10 her in person with bis warning or send her a letter He's got too much sense for that. And a telegram would be too risky. Sc nothing's left but the phone Hell call her up.

 You're sure the number will giv, you the clue to the Woman?"

 "No!" cried Blake, his face alight with pleasure. Good for her! When?"
 At eight o'clock. But she didn't bother to mention whether 1t was eight this evening or eight to- morrow morning. Mark was just go- ing to call her up on long distance to find out. when we happened to meet Standish. And suppose the prospect of clash with Standish quite drove minor matter like his wife out of his thoughts"
 You're wrong there" dissented Blake, There's nothing on earth can drive Grace out of Mark Robert sons head. He's as crazy in love with her as he was the day he married her. If he didn't telephone her before he went in to dinner it's a chinch he'll do 1t the minute he comes out Queer old Mark. Grace is the one thing that makes him human. Chase on in. and order for me"
 Dismissing his son with slap on the shoulder, Blake strode across to the telephone alcove. Wanda Kelly look. cd up inquiringly from the novel she was reading between telephone calls.
 Miss Kelly" said Jim, will you kindly connect me with the hotel of. ! fce?"
 He sprawled into a vacant seat at her side, caught up the extra receiver and called:

The Trap.
as he pause


 For a moment Blake did not an swer. Nor could Wanda read anything from his utterly expressionless face. Then he said:
 Do you know why did that?''
 Probably" replied Wanda gravely, because you wanted MT. Standish to come here"
 He eyed her searchingly. But her face gave no sign that her reply. had been intended as impeTtinence.
 "Hm!" he vouchsafed. You're a bright girl"
 Thank you, sir" she replied de, murely.
 ] Again he glanced at her moveless i features in quick doubt. Then, evi ] dently making up his mind, he went on:
 You heard the story I was telling ] those men over there? The story about Standish and the Woman?"
 TT happened to catch part Of it.
 You happened to catch every word 1 of it," he corrected. And now, why do you suppose I told such an ali-lm portant secret loud enough for a tele ! phone girl to hear it?"
 That's just what I've been wonder ing" she said frankly. "But I cam figure it out"
 Then I'll tell you" retorted Blake nodding approval at her unembarrass ed candor Whats the one thing W, need to turn that story from a windl piece of campaign gossip into the dead Hest weapon ever forged in Washing ton?"
 "The Woman's name" replied Wan da, at once.
 "Good," applauded Blake. 'You'v' got a real brain under that metal re ceiver you wear. You seem to hay, this situation worked out as clear as have. Maybe. now, you can guest what that Woman's name is worth C us How about it?'
 Wanda rolled her big eyes cell ingward after the manner of stupi, child who seeks in space the answe to a teachers question.
 "Maybe-maybe a-a million dol lars" she hazarded timidly. at length
 Blake grinned appreciation of tn bit of acting. and wsS not in the yer least deceived by it-as Wanda hal perfectly well known he would not be

There was a pause. Neither man seemed desirous to be first to return 10 the attack The buzz Of the city crept in from outside. The halfstihed rhythm of the dining-room orchestra reached them in snatches.
 Standlsh got to his feet; slowly and more like a very old man than one in his prime. But he looked down with crass stolidity at his tormentOr And in his deep tones there was more of sorrow than of nervous dread.
 'Mr. Blake he said, there's one point I can't quite grasp. Even your admiration for my worthy qualities and your very kind desire to save me trouble. can not wholly explain your action in telling me. Why are you giv- ing awsy--cur hand Ike this?"
