CHAPTER X.

7 ENNIE'S new found girl friend
at the office the next day told
y Jennie that she had fixed" it
up for them to go out on a time"
that evening with the two young
men Also that one Of the young
men had plenty Of money, and she
had known him for a long time-that
they would go to the girls room after
work and get cleaned up and meet
the boys later.
While they were dressing, Jennie
marveled how any girl getting seven
dollars a week could have such a nice
room and furniture-but the girl ex-
planned it was easy--if you knew
HOW.
While they We're dressing the two
Young men came in--without knock
lng-and seemed to be quite at home,
especially--as Jennie's friend eX-
planned later-the one that had
money.
He kissed Jennie's friend They
had brought a bottle of cocktails, and
after having one all around Jennie
felt a little more at ease and wasn't
quite so shocked at her friend for
sitting on the young mans lap and
smoking cigarette
Jennie's friend had put on another
dress and hat after getting home that
made Jennie and her simple little

by the mistakes of other foolish
girls who had wrecked their lives be-
cause they thought they knew more
than their friends, how different her
life would have been and the misery
that would have been avoided.
Jennie and her girl friend and the
young men arrived at the beach and
had a very hilarious dinner, at which
the young men and the young girl
friend drank more than they should.
Jennie wanted to drink as much as
they did, but it made her sick and
besides she did not like the taste of it.
Jennie overheard the other girls fell
low tell her that Jennie was a bear,
only she ought to get some decent
looking clothes"
Jennie pretended she didn't hear,
but it made her more determined than
ever to have good clothes and look
as well or better than the other girls
she saw. That night, when the young
man finally brought her to the corner,
near her home, Jennie wasn't quite so
reluctant as she would have been
some days before when he argued for
"a good might kiss"

He's not to speak to anyone, you
understand" Then he condescended
to give his attention to the prisoner.
You'll know all about your wife.
young man, when you make up your
mind to tell me the truth"
Dick gave no heed to the lnspec-
tors statement His eyes We're fixed
on his father, and there was a great
tenderness in their depths And he
spoke softly:
Dad. I'm sorry"
The fathers gaze met the sons and
the eyes of the two locked. There was
no other word spoken. Dick turned
and followed his custodian out of the
office in silence. Even after the shut
ting of the door behind the prisoner,
the pause endured for some moments.
Then, at last, Burke spoke to the

IN Do the Talking"
When he had completed his in
structions to the stenographer, Burke
turned to Glider and Demarest.
Now this time" he said, energeti-
cally I'll be the one to do the talk
ing. Don't you be surprised. Re
member We're dealing with crooks,
and when you're dealing with crooks
you have to use crooked ways"
There was a brief period of silence.
Then the door opened and Mary Tur-
ner entered the office. She walked
slowly forward. moving with the
smooth strength and grace that were
proof of perfect health and of perfect
poise. the correlation of mind and
body in eXactness. Her form. clearly
revealed by the Clinging evening
dress, was a curving group Of graces.
The beauty of her face was enhanced,
rather than lessened, by the pallor OF
il, for the fading of the richer cOlors
gave to the fine features an express
sion more spiritual, made palmer the
underlying qualities that her accus-
toned 10 brilliance might half con-
ceal She paid absolutely no atten-
ton to the other two in the room. but
went straight to the desk and there
halted, gazing with her softly pene-
trant eyes of deepest violet into the
face of the Inspector
Under that intent scrutiny. Burke
felt challenge. set himself to match
craft with craft. He was not likely
to undervalue the wits Of one who
had so often fiouted him. who. even
now, had placed him in a preposter-
Gus predicament by this ENHANCEMENT

resolved to use his best skill to dis
arm her sophistication. His large
voice was modulated in kindness as
he spoke in a casual manner.

A Happy Month.

And so the days passed swiftly by.
Mrs. Deery and Mildred were frequent
guests at the mansion, and some Of
the dinners that were served there
We're marvels of good cooking and
good taste. Gordon had kept up the
establishment just his parents had.
A happy month passed, One day
Gordon telephoned to Mildred that
some repairs were necessary to a part
of the telephone system on the es-
tate. and as he was the only cleo
trician on the place he begged for
enough time off to mend things.
With Steve TO help him he started
off up the brook and after a welk
of of more than a mile came to the
box that was out of order. He ex-
amined II carefully. There were evil
dences that IL had been tempered
with and he puzzled his brain TO
account for II. Who could have done
it? Certainly no one connected with
the estate.
a peculiar tool which he did not
have with him was necessary In or
der to make the repairs and he sent
Steve back to fetch it. While the
boy was on his erraud Gordon's at
tention was attracted to a gathering
Of dark and angry clouds away off
TO the southwest. As they grem to
inky blackness and gray edges be-
gan to form. his practiced eye told
him that storm of magnitude was
brewing. As he stood viewing the
phenomena there suddenly came from
the clouds a binding flash of light
ming, followed by the crash and deaf
ening roar of thunder that could be
heard for miles around. Instantly
there shot out of the clouds a Will
ing, comiCal mass. The huge, black
cone Of clouds struck the earth and
swept up the valley. sucking into its
vortex everything with which it came
in contact. uprooting trees and clear
ing the land as If everything were
