The mayor OF ReutOn, who
S had been doing near the desk,
Miss Norton rose aud ascended the
stairs. Still the protesting Mages was
ut her heels. At the head Of the stairs
she turned.
You shall have your Hnal chance"
she said. The mayor. Max and Bland
are alone in the ONCE. don't approve
Of eavesdropping at Baldpate in tho
summer. 1t has spoiled a lot Of per-
fectly adorable engagements. But in
winter it's different. Whether you
really want to help me or not. I'm sure
l don't know. but II you do the con-
versation below now might prove of
interest"
I'm sure 1t would" Magee agreed.
Well. l have q scheme. Listen.
Baldpate inn is located in a temper
ance county. That doesn't mean that
people don't drink here. 1t simply
means that there's a lot Of mystery
and romance connected with the drink
ing. Sometimes those who follow the
god Of chance in the card room late at
night grow thirsty. Now. it happens
that there is a trapdo0r in the door of
the card room. up which drinks are
frequently passed from the cellar.
Isn't that exciting? A hotel clerk who
became human once in my presence
told me all about it. Ii you went into
the cellar snd hunted about you might
ilnd that door and climb up into the
card room"
"A bully idea." agreed MI. Magee.
"l'l hurry down there this minute
I'm more grateful than you a guess
for this chance. And this time-but
you'll see.'
Magee hurried to the cellar and with
the aid Of a box Of matches found a
ladder leading to a door cut in the
floor above. He climbed through dust
and cobwebs. unfastened the catch
and pushed cautiously upward. In an
other minute he was standing in the
chill little card room. Softly he open
ed the card o door about half an
inch and put his ear to it.
The three men were grouped very
close at hand. and he heard Mr.. Bland
speaking in low tones:
"I'm talking to you boys as a friend.
The show is over. There amt no use
hanging around for the concert-there
won't be none. Go home and get some
clean collars and a square neal"
If you think I'm going to be shook
of by any fairy story like that" said
the mayor of Reuton. you're a child
with all a child's touching faith"
"All right" replied Mr.. Bland. II
thought I'd pass you the tip. that's all.
1t amt nothing to me what you do.
But it's all over. and you've lost out.
I'm sorry you have. but | take Hay

1T was his idea to make a three act
play out Of this thing. He's RESPONSE
BILE for this silly trip to Baldpate. This
audience we've been acting for-he let

II know" said Bland. but you
can't deny that Baidpate inn looked
like the ideal spot at frst-secluded.
Oh the beaten path, you know. and all
that"
"Yes." sneered the mayor, las se.
