CHAPTER xl-continued.


He amt the man to go to his
womenfolks when he gets into hot wa
ter. He'll keep 1t to himself; and
they'll go on bluffing you, same as
ever"
Miss Grierson pulled on her gaunt
lets and made ready to go, leisurely
as befitted her pose.
That Is where you are mistaken,
she objected, coolly. 1T isn't very
often | can give you. business tip
but this is one of the times when
can. When John Raymer died, he left
an undivided half of his estate to his
wife, the other half to be shared
equally by the children. At the pres
emit moment every dollar the entire
family has is invested In the iron
plant. You will let Mr.. Raymer get
himself into hot water, as you call It,
and then, when | say the word, you'll
reach in and pull him out"
When she was gone, the president
selected another of the overgrown CT
gars from a box in the desk drawer
lighted 1t, and tilted back in the big
armchair to envelop himself in a cloud
of smoke. 1t was his single expensive
habit--the never-empty box of Brob-
dingnagian cigars in the drawer-and

This occurred in the forenoon of a
pleasant day In May. In the after
noon of the same day Miss Grierson IS
trap was halted before the door of the
temporary quarters of the Wahaska
public library. Raymer saw the trap
and crossed the street, remembering
what he would otherwise have forgot
ten-that his sister had asked him
to get book on orchids.
Miss Margery was in the reference
room, wading absently through the
newspaper files. She nodded brightly

agreement that could not be adjusted
amicably. Whether these conditions
can be maintained after we double
our capacity and get In lot Of new

you are enlarging?" said Griswold
Raymer waited until the only other
man in the smoking den had gone
back to the drawing-rooms before he
said: Yes; l caught the fever along
with the rest of them few weeks
ago, and I'm already beginning to
wish that i hadn't"
"You are afraid of the market?"
"N-no; times are good, and the mar
ket-our market, at least--is daily
growing stronger. II is rather mat
ter of finances. l am an engineer, as
my father was before me. When 1t
comes to wrestling with the money

There are good many more of US
in the same boat" said Griswold, leav-
ing an opening for further condolences
II Raymer chose to make them. But
the young ironmaster was looking at
his watch, and the condolences were
postponed.
I'm keeping you uA when l dare
say you ought to be in bed" he pro-
tested; but Griswold held him long
enough to ask for suggestion in a
small matter of his own.
Now that he was able to be about,
he was most anxious to relieve Miss
| Grierson and her father of the charge
and care of one whose obligation to
them was already more than noun
tain-high; did Raymer happen to know
| of some quiet household where the
obligated one could find lodging and q
simple table?
Raymer. taking time to think of It.,
did know. Mrs. Holcomb, the widow
of his fathers bookkeeper, owned her
own house in Shawnee street. 1t was
not a boarding house. The widow
rented rooms 10 two of Mr.. Grierson's
bank clerks. and che was looking for
another desirable lodssr. Quite pos
sibly she would be willing to board
the extra ledger. Raymer himself
would go and see her about II.
at is an exceedingly kind-hearted
community, this home town OF yours.
Mr.. Raymer," was the convalescent's
leave-taking, when he shook hands
with the ironmaster at the foot of the
stairs; and that was the thought
which he took to bed with him after
Raymer had gone to make his adieux
to the small person who, in Griswold's
reckoning. owned the kindest of kind
hearts.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1915-09-23

when Raymer entered-and was moi
in the least dust-blinded by the library
card in his hand.
you are just in time to help me,
she told him. DO you remember the
story of that daring bank robbery in
New Orleans few weeks ago?-the
one in which a man made the presi.
dent draw check and get 1t cashed
for him?"
Raymer did remember it, chiefly be-
cause he had talked about it at the
time with Jasper Grierson, and had
wondered curiously how the president
of the Farmers and Merchants would
deport himself under like conditions.
IF you should meet the man face to
face, would you recognize him from
the description" she flashed up at
Raymer.
Not in thousand years." he con-
fessed. Would your"
mo; not from the description" she
admitted. Then she passed to mat
ter apparently quite irrelevant.
Didn't see Miss Farnham's re-
turn noticed in the Wahaskan the
other day?"
With Charlotte's father daily visi-
tor at Mereside, It seemed incredible
that Miss Grierson had not heard Of
the daughters Homecoming. But Ray
mer answered In good faith.
They came up as far as st. Louis on
one of the Anchor line-the Belle Ju-
leland even Miss Gilman admits
that the accommodations were excel
lent"
She nodded absently and began to
turn the leaves of the newspaper file.
Raymer took it as his dismissal and
went to the desk to get the orchid
book. When he looked in again on his
way to the street, Miss Grierson had
gone, leaving the file of the Pioneer
Press open on the reading desk. Al
most involuntarily he glanced at the
first-page headings, thrilling to little
shock of surprise when one of them
proved to be the caption Of another
Associated Press dispatch giving 20
line story of the capture and second
escape Of the Bayou State Security
robber on the levee at st. Louis.
The reading Of the bit of stale news
impressed him curiously. Why had
Miss Margery interested herself in the
details of the New Orleans bank rob
berry? Why-with no apparent spe-
cial reason-should she have remem-
bered 1t at all-or, remembering It..
have known where to look for the
two newspaper references?
Raymer left the library specializing
vaguely on the unaccountable tan
gents at which the feminine mind
could now and then fly OF from the
well-defined circle OF the convention
ally usual On rare occasions his
mother or Gertrude did 1t. and he had
long since learned the folly Of trying
to reduce the small problem to terms
Of known quantities masculine.
Just the same. I'd like to know
why, this time." he said to himself,
as he crossed the street to the Manu-
facturers' club. miss Grierson isn't
at all the person to do things without
an object"

suggested the smoking room and a
cigar, and Griswold went willingly.
From that on the path to better ac-
quaintance was the easiest of short
cuts, even as the mild cigar which
Raymer found In his pocket case
paved the way for return of the
smokers zest In the convalescent

the young ironmaster proved to be q
practical sociologist. Wherefore, when
Griswold presently mounted his own
sociological hobby. he was promptly in
vited to visit the Raymer foundry and
machine works, to the end that he
might have some of his theories OF the
universal oppression of wage earners
charitably modified.
