what spirit of reckless bravado, be-
cause it was my home; and you made
the decision apparently without any
consideration for me; without any
thought of the embarrassments and
difficulties in which it might involve
me-"
Truly, the heavens had fallen and
the solid earth was reelingI Griswold
lay back in the deep lounging chair
and fought manfuIly to retain some
little hold upon the anchorings. Could
this be his ideal; the woman whom
he had set so high above all others in
the scale of heroic faultlessness and
sublime devotion to principle? And
she was SO much a slave of the con-
ventional as to be able to tell him
coldly that she had recognized him
again, and that her chief concern was
the embarrassment it was causing her?
Before he could gather the words for
any adequate rejoinder, she was going
on pointedly:
You have done everything you
could to make the involvement com
plete. You have made friends of my
friends, and you came here as a friend
of my father. You have drawn Ed
ward Raymer into the ENHANCEMENT
and helped him with the stolen money
In every way you have sought to make
it more and more impossible for me to
give information against you-and you
have succeeded l can't do it now
without facing a scandal that would
never die in a small place like this,
and without bringing trouble and ruin
upon a family of our nearest friends
And that is why 1 sent for you today
and why 1 say you owe me some
thing"
Griswold was sitting up again, and
he had recovered some small measure
of possession.
Il certainly owe you many apologies
at least" he said, ironically. 'T have
really been doing you a great inius
tice, Miss Farnham-a very grave in
justice, though not exactly of the kind
you mention. think I have been mis-
experimenting you from the beginning
How long have you known me as the
man who is wanted in New Orleans p
"a long time; though 1 tried not to

ible that the man 1 had spoken to Oh
| the Belle Julie would come here and
put me in such q false position"
Good heavens!" he broke out; els
your position all you have been think
ing Of? Is that the only reason why
you haven't set the dogs on me?'
ct is the chief reason why l couldn't

have done. Goodness knows, l have

CHAPTER xxvIII-continucd.

After the Introduction to Johnson
his hand had gone mechanically to his
coat pocket The demon at his ear
was whispering kill! kill" and his
fingers sought and found the weapon
While he was listening with the out
ward ear to Bainbridge's cheerful rem
iniscences, the little minutiae were ar.
ranging themselves; he saw where
Brofin would step. and was careful to
mark that none of the bystanders
would be in range. He would wait un-
til there could be no possibility Of
missing; then he would fire-from the
pocket
1t was Johnson who broke the spell
While cambridge was insisting that
Griswold should come in and make a
social third at the hotel dinner table,
the teller picked up his handbag and
mounted the steps. Griswold's brain
fell into halves. With one of them he
was making excuses to the newspaper
man; with the other he saw Broffin
stop Johnson and draw him aside.
What the detective was saying was
only too plainly evident. Johnson
wheeled short to face the sidewalk
group. and Griswold could feel In ev-
cry fiber of him the searching scrutiny
to which he was being subjected.
When he stole glance at the pair
on the porch, Johnson was shaking
his head slowly; and he did it again
after second thoughtful stare. Girls
void, missing completely now what
cambridge was saying, overheard the
teiler's low-tOned rejoinder to the de-
tective's urgings: Its no use. Mr..
Broff1n; I'd have to swear positively
to it. you know, and l couldn't do
that No, l don't want To
hear your corroborative evidence; it
might make me see a resemblance
where there is none. Wait until Mr..
Galbraith RECEIVERS; he's your man."
Griswold hardly knew how he made
shift to get away from cambridge
finally; but when it was done, and
he was crossing the little triangular
park which filled the angle between
the business squares and the lake.
