CHAPTER XIV.
More Feathers,


Dicks interview with Brand was bar
rem of results-for Dick. He felt no
remorse over the manner of its termi-
nation. 1t Was a blow struck when
man must strike. Brand had mis-
judged him, or pretended he had. Ell
Their that, or, in pique over the report
er's knowledge of his action, he had
lost control of that usual deliberate
self-possession and hurled out the in
suit. In any event, he had over
stepped the mark and paid the price.
Dicks only regret was his failure to
accomplish the purpose of his visit,
although he could not have told ex-
actly what that was. Within himself
he argued that he was acting for Bob;
trying to save his friend from the hui
initiating sequel that was sure to fol-
law Brands underhanded tactics with
Mrs. Reynolds. But for four weeks
he had known of these elandestine
meetings and Bob was still in igno-
rance of them. He was sincere in his
desire to help his friend and a half
dozen times he had been on the point
Of telling him. But something stopped
him. He thought of confronting Jane,
but the idea was quickly put aside.
Dick stood a little in awe of Jane.
Admiration he had a-plenty, or had
had, but there was something more.
1t was reluctance to surrender this
admiration and this inexplicable some
thing that held him back. So he
sought out Brand as a last resort.
From the millionaire he hoped to
wiring something that would bolster up
his falling respect for the girl, and
also he hoped to force Brand to dis
continue his visits. Brand had not
misjudged entirely. The reporter had
meant to threaten, but with a different
motive. Brands mistake had cut short
the interview, and perhaps it was just
as well. For Dick had not shown his
hand and his attempt to brighten Brand
would have been futile, anyway.
But the reporter had not come un-
pl epared. There are some credulous
fools who believe that no one ever

race is run; that the telegram is never
read until the recipient tears the en-
velope; that when ten thousand men
lose money on the stock market and
five hundred win, it is just luck OF bet
ter judgment that turns the trick. But
Dick knew better. Dick knew that
Tennessee Coal and Iron had dropped
fifteen points and that Brand had sold.
Dick knew that the Hudson Cement
company, which was Brand, was fur
nishing the cement for the Pecos
River dam; and Dick knew that the
Western Construction company, which
paid Bob to analyze the cement that
went into the jobs. was building the
dam. Dick knew something about mil

"a lot of poor fools lost their

81 shouldn't be surprised. They usu-
ally do"
"But you didn't"
"Why, my boy, you flatter me. But,
frankly, won lot of money"
Brand left his desk again. This time
he walked slowly to the reporters
side.
But what the devil are you driving
at?" he asked with face protruding.
Are you here with threats? Do you
think l am afraid of you or your
kind?" He snapped his fingers in the
reporters face. That" he tainted.
"That!"
The blood mounted to Dicks cheeks,
but his endurance was not all spent.
DO I look at all threatening?" he
asked, Have l said anything that
sounded like threatS?"
mo" said Brand with a sheer, but
you are still without an overcoat."
A fist shot out. 1t landed with
thud. Some two hundred pounds of
very precious flesh and bone lay
stretched upon the floor. The reporter
glanced quickly about him. There was
a stationary washstand in a corner.
He stepped to it, soaked a towel in
the running water and laid it over the
millionaire's face and head 1t did the

punch of my own and l might be

All right" the reporter answered,
"only remember, though you worship
the golden calf, to take cognizance,
also, of the golden rule. Be nice"
Left alone, Brand rubbed the point
Of his chin and got to his feet. He
walked over to the glass to inspect
the damage.
"a very neat young man." he said
aloud. Il couldn't have done it bet
ter myself. I suppose I deserved it.
But d-n him!" he exclaimed.
What can man expect when he goes
about without an overcoat and the
thermometer at thirty-fve?"

TITS a quarter past Three now" he
said. What time are we likely to
have the pleasure of Mr.. Brands COM
pany?"
"Any minute" Jane answered coolly.
"He should be here now" She cast
a bored look of ascetic elegance at
Dick, as if to say: "Is there any rea-
/ choose to have him." But the
glance was lost on Dick, or he pre-
ferred to ignore 1t. He dropped his
sapient air for an expression of real
alarm. Impulsively he took her hand
again. She made as if to withdraw it,
but the reporters grasp was firm.
"Jane!" he exclaimed Bob mustn't
see Brand here. | am not questioning
you or your motives, but know Bobs
feelings toward that man and l know
that Brand can't be here with his
knowledge" He turned quickly toward
the table for his hat. I'll get out and
stop him." he said. Tell Bob l was
here if he comes first. He might see
me. I'll say l was down to the Ger
mans"
The reporters mind worked rapidly.
He started hurriedly to the door.
"Waitl" Jane ordered. You'll do
nothing of the sort. I'll attend to this
thing myself. Mr.. Brand wouldn't
pay any attention to you in the first
place and in the second l don't want
to stop his coming here. Bob has got
to know sooner or later and it might
as we'll be today. Whatever you may
think, I've done nothing that I'm
ashamed Of"
Il don't say you have, Jane. I'm not
accusing you of anything. am just
looking at it from the outsiders point
of view Honestly" he continued
warmly 81 haven't a thought in the
world that you have done anything
wrong, but you may have Numbered,
and, Jane, when poor mans wife Sc
cretly meets rich man in her hus-
bands absence, it's going to take lot
of love to make him overlook it, and
lot more to keep him from guessing
at what's been going on
His hand was still on the door
knob.
Don't you think had better go?"
he insisted.
mo, l don't"
The sound of footsteps on the walk
told them that further argument was
useless. 1t was Reynolds. He greeted
them both and came forward to kiss
his wife.
"Why, how fine you look, honey" he
said. Were you going out?"
He stood surveying her hat, her
face, her dress down to her well-shod
feet, as one might look over the fine
parts of a thoroughbred. And that |!
is what she was.

SURPRISED.

Surprised.
The 1nadvertent use of Brands
name did not give Dick the surprise
he feigned. AS Mrs. Collins went out
he looked at Jane in a startled sort of
way and she advanced to him.
"You heard?" she said.
"Of course I heard
"Well, what about it?" she asked,
defantly.
"You take my question out Of my
mouth, Jane. That is what was won

Her eyes flashed. Again she was
very beautiful and again there ap-
peared that queenly bearing that be-

words superfuous.

gressively. There's no reason why

He dropped her hand and smiled
little sadly as he answered:
