| Betsy BARBARA. THIS is business. 1
was talking partnership. l didn't
mean that kind. You know-oh,
blazes-I meant-why did I brace up
and go to work. anyhow? 1t was be-
cause-you-I love you-there, that's
outl"
Betsy Barbara, her hand still help
less between the keys and his greater
hand, raised her face. If she had
shone before with elhn light, she
shone now with the light of many
angels. The sheen and glitter of her
hair, the fire of her eyes, the sparkle
of her little teeth behind her parted
lips-all the glory which makes stars
and systems and beasts and the gen.
creations of men-illuminated and
| transformed Betsy-Barbara. An in
slant so, and that light faded. The
| elfin light shone again; and
Tommy North" she said, ARE you
proposing to me right in business
hours? Get back to your seati Your
answer will be transmitted to you in
business form"
There was hope and yet wonder
| ment in Tommy's face as he obeyed.
Betsy Barbara tweaked the sheets
from the roller. inserted new page.
and began to type very fast-for
her. She finished. She was suffused
with color as she drew out the page
and laid 1t on Tommy's desk. He
turned to read, and Betsy Barbara's
| hand brushed his cheek ever so
| lightly
mr. Thomas WNorth;
| dear sir;
Your pro positiin is accepted
and l trust tina the ensuig partner
ship will be long adm prosperous
yurs sincerely
ElizabethLane.
Business forms must be MAIN
| tanned even in this solemn and awful
moment" said Betsy Barbara.
"Well, there's one thing about
being a high cop that's worth WHILE"
remarked Martin MCGEE, you GER
tainly do get swell attention in a
! lobster palace"
Inspector MCGEE, in his dinner
coat and his diamonds sat in the
preferred corner farthest from the
music Rosalie, reigning opposite in
two thousand dollars worth of dia-
monds, eight hundred dollars worth
of clothes, three hundred dollars
worth of hair dressing and hat, fol-
lowed with smiling eyes a wave of
agitation which ran from waiter to
waiter until 1t broke at the door,
in a spray of Italian Swiss French
gestures, against the head waiter
and majordomo. The lady with In
spector MCGEE, the lady whom he
brought regularly-so an excited
waiter captain explained to his chief
had complained of tainted clam.
It was frightful, terrific, the head
waiter replied. Some one must suf-
fer. Inspector MCGEE might never
come again. Some morning after
hours the bar would be raided.
Machel Accidental!
When MCGEE had condescended to
accept apologies, he resumed to
Resale.
IT don't even have to pay for my
New Years Eve table reservations.
That's what it is-being a cop!"
Resale dropped her pink right
hand on her pinker left one, and fell
| to playing with a new diamond
solitaire that dimmed for size and
| luster all her other jewels. Her
dimples threw back an answering
| flash.
Enjoy it while you can, Marty"
sshe said at won't be long"
| Even yet, Inspector MCGEE re-
| Elected, Rosalie LIE Grange had sur
| prises for him. He did not realize,
for he was no seer of the future,
that she would be giving him just
such surprises all his life long.
| whats new with you this timer"
he inquired, smiling indulgently.
"Nothin' with me-" replied Rosalie.
"only I'm breakin' the news to you.
Inspector is as high up as a police
man can get. Your days on the
| force are numbered, Martin MCGEE.
An haven't made up my mind yet"
she added, dimpling now not on the
| diamonds, but on him, whether to
| make you Democratic boss of the
| State senate, or Just leader of Tam
many HALL"
That day was raw November, with
wet sticky suggestion of rain in
the air. From the colonial piazza
where Constance stood, waiting, the
ground rolled away cold and naked
to the great double gate. A cluster
of bare elms hid the farther reaches
of the walk from her view. He who
was coming would approach unob-
served until he was almost upon her.
In the whirl and perturbation of her
spirit she found herself thankful for
that. Whatever happened 1t would
come suddenly.
Rosalie LIE Grange and every one
else most vitality concerned in the
Wade Hanska case had considered 1t
best that she, the too-romantic
heroine of these events, should be in
hiding when Lawrence Wade came
out of the Tombs free man. One
must consider the newspapers-al-
ways the newspapers, with their
photographers. their special writer's,
their insistance on the human in
terest" features of this celebrated
. case. So even before Captain Nc
Gee flashed to the headquarters re-
porters that Margarita Perez,
