A thin. stiff nscked young woman
came out and went directly to the beau
tiful girl with the plain black dress:
win you come IMP she invited with
an unexpected agreea bleness, and she
led the way into the very center of this
web of industry.
The family car stopped at the curb
with slam, and the collie, BOuncer,
was on the ground. From the car
sprang the young husband of June
Warner, hts jaws set and his fists
llinched. There followed the stern
father and the gentle mother of June,
her bosom friend, Iris Blethering, and
Iris husband, Bobbie.
They're in there!' called a dusty
voice. 1t was the we'll known and just
ly famous private detective, Bill Wolf,
still attached to the luxurious limou-
sine by his strong cravat, but no one
heard him. The party had rushed into
the dim hallway.
June Warmers eyes frightened as she
entered the private office Of Elizabeth
Sawyer. That pleasant featured wo-
man sat at desk piled high with lit
ter OF papers. AS she passed the desk
June saw, standing amid the papers,
the portrait Of Elizabeth Sawyer, a tall,
good looking man and three handsome
children.
AS Ned Warner rushed impetuously
in from the street figure sprang from
the dim hallway. That figure was
Scatti. and, closely pursued by the par
ty from the family car, he tore across
the big vacant room which occupied
the ground floor and darted through a
heavy iron door, and the pursuers piled
in after him. 1t was then that the
dark, handsome man with the black
Vandyke slipped from his concealment
beneath the stairway, sped lightly
across the abandoned banking room and
changed the iron door, slipping the
heavy crossbar into it's place. His black
eyes glowed as he heard the yell of dis
may from behind those stanch doors,
and he smiled.
Bill Wolf at last got his fingers un-
numbed enough to open his pocket
knife, and with this he sawed off his
cravat just below the knot. He gal
loped straight across the street with
strange, sidelong motion and, entering
saloon, slapped quarter on the bar.
-Four beers" he husked with his
dusty tongue. It was not until he had
swallowed the third one that he took
his nickel Of change and telephoned to
Honoria Blye.
A keen eyed man with bushy eye
brows came in to see Eliza beth Sawyer
as June Warner sat patiently at the
window. He put his hat on the corner
Of her desk and unbuttoned his smooth,
neatly fitting overcoat
"Well, Mrs. Sawyer, how about it?''
he inquired, putting his hands on his
knees.
Mrs. Sawyer had been busy sorting
papers.
Il couldn't think of consolidating"
she said crisply, with shake of her
head.
Sorry" The man had laid folded

standing in the corner, with his back to
the wall, was the wide featured Scatti.
Ned Warner confronted Scatti.

suppressed fury. Now, / want some
information, and I'm going to have it"
Scatti leaned comfortably into the
corner.
''Will you speak, or won't you?
Hold on, Ned!' Robbie Blethering
had caught that muscular arm as it
was tensely drawn back. LET me try

|. ed for moment, while the
pursuers of the little runaway
bride crowded about him. Presently
he lifted his eyes to the ceiling, but they
did not look into Mrs. Moore's on their
way up, and he began to edge slowly
along the wall again. There was a
growl Of anger from Ned Warner.
"I'll beat it out of himy' declared Ned
and started for the extremely silent
chauffeur, who jumped into the corner
and lowered his head and covered his
face with his arms. He was afraid
Of fists. though not of knives or revolv-
erS.
Bobbie Blethering jumped in front of
Ned, but was thrust aside. June's
gentle faced mother could not be dis
posed Of so easily.
Ned" she said. and her light touch
upon his arm as she looked pleadingly
up into his eyes was stronger than any
muscular force could have been.
Shivering with the revulsion of his
passion, Ned put his arm around Mrs.
Moore and walked away with her to
the other end Of the tiny room, while
Iris Blethering threw her arms around
Boobies neck and enjoyed few good
sobs. Scatti, left alone in the corner,
Strengthened up slowly and, raising his
shoulders, cooked his head and then
gazed at the cobwebs. Presently he
puckered one corner Of his mouth line.
and there stole upon the pentup air,
soft and low and sweet, the melting
strains Of Santa Lucia
Down cross street hurried the maid,
Marie, her high cheek bones burning
with excitement and her eyes red. On
her way she had collected Officer Dowd,
and he was great comfort to her. She
was a person who was particularly
pleasing to policemen. A large and ex-
tremely black colored woman with
market basket caught sight Of Marie
from afar of and came bobbing as
fast as she could waddle.
In q swift taxi came q vivacious
brunette.
All these were centered around the
destinies Of the beautiful little run

There was dead silence, in which

head

passed her hand for a moment over
her eyes. "You see, Mr.. Jones, I've

To make her business success! June
Warner glowed with the mere hearing
Of the words. She felt more encouraged
in this room than she had anywhere
since she had taken her own impulsive
step toward independence.
A tall, good looking man came into
the room, the man Of the picture on
the desk. Mrs. Sawyer's hand had
been pressed over her eyes. At the en-
trance of her husband she sprang up
with an exclamation of pleasure. her
face glowing, and turned to him.
The poor little runaway bride
glanced hastily out Of the window, and
the tears sprang into her eyes. How
she longed for Ned! Dear Ned! \ 81
