Jones' eyes sparkled. "And you
have my word that he wants to see
you. But dare not tell you
DO you think he would object to
Mr.. Norton?" she asked, studying the
rug.
In what capacity" he countered,
| forcing her hand.
"As-as a husband?" bravely.
Jones in turn studied the patterns
in the rug. ut is only natural for a
father to look high for his daughter
husband But, after all, an honest
man is worth as much as anything l
know of. And Norton is honest and
loyal and brave"
Thank you, Jones. l intend to
marry him when the time comes; so
you may as well prepare father for
this eventuality.".
There is an old adage-"
But she interrupted him. IF you
have a. new adage, Jones, l shouldn't
mind hearing it. But I'm only just
out of school, where old adages are

night
And Jones went to the rear of the
house, chuckling.
In the passing it might well be OBJ
served that the Hargreave house had
a remarkable menage. There was a
gardener, cook, and a maid; and the
three of them reported to Jones each
night before going to bed. They were
all three detectives from one of the
greatest organizations in America.
Finding themselves unable to lure
Florence away from the environs of
the Hargreave home, the Black Hun
ton. Thep proposed to rid the house
of every one in it by a perfectly logi-
cal device. But the first step in this
new move was going to be extremely
delicate and risky. 1t was no small
to enter the Hargreave
home; and yet this must be done So
finally Spider" Beggs was selected |
for the work. The man could practic- |
ally walk over crockery without caus-
ing a sound he could climb a house
by the window lodges; and he could |
hold his breath like those professional
tank swimmers.
Three or four nights after the Par
off fiasco, Jones started the rounds,
putting out the lights. He left the
one in the hall till the last, for it was
his habit, after having turned of that
light, to stand by the door for several
watching. One never could

minutes later; they might want some

emained hidden behind the summer

moved out cautiously. Both his future

"Humph!" said Jones; mot bad
idea this. So that's what the sneak
was doing here last night. I've been
wondering and wondering. Let's have

He went through the books and at
length came across the three volumes.

was burning with wrath.
One day, a week or SO after her
meeting with Norton in the summer
house, Olga arrived, beautifully
gowned, handsome as ever. There
was not the least touch of the adven-
turess in her makeup. Florence had
just received some mail, aid she had
dropped the letters on the library table
to greet the countess. She had opened
them, but had not yet looked at their
contents.

Strong opposition is said to exist
at Santa Fe to further appropria-
ton Of State funds for the New
Mexico building at the San Diego
exposition. The building is com.
plete and in operation, but its man.
ayers say that without a further
appropriation they will have to
close il within a couple OF months
because Of lack OF funds. Ii is
we'll known that the original appro.
priation for this project was passed
over strong opposition and oppo-
sition based upon what seemed to
US very good, sound sense. But
that appropriation was made; the
money has been spent, and as
nearly as we can tell has been ex-
ceptionally well spent. The board
OF exposition managers was ap.
pointed Tor the purpose OF making
the best showing possible at San
Diego, and it appears to have
given this state far and away the
best state exhibit at either OF the
coast expositions. To permit that
exhibit to be closed is not to be
thought OF. To permit it to be
hampered for lack of funds would
be a deliberate throwing away OF
the considerable sum invested al
ready by the state and a number OF
the counties.
