duet Of theirs out OF the miner key
But what does cid Charlie really
think Of the case? That's more to tie

We'll. he seemed to fear there was
no chance Of bail before the adjourned
hearing But | rather gathered he
wss not going to be in II himself"
No. We decided on one Ct those
spOrtsnen whe love rushing In where
family lawyer like Charlie owns to
chap end prined him w atout old
Savage. and cur hnd In the founda-
tions. He says he'll make an example
ef Drinkwster. and Charlie says they
call him the BObby's BNgbesr!"
But surely te1l have to tell bis
client who's behind hint"
No. He's just the type who would
have rushed in. anyhow. And it1l -
tine enough to put Scruton under obli-

last night Charlie had said that old
Sweep Was in such tremendous spirits
about 1t all! Why wss he DO down
this morning?
She only knew she could have takea
his hand, but for q very good reason
why she could not She lad even to
guard against an eGuivocally sympa-
thetic voice or manner, as she asked,
How long did they remand him for?"
Eight days"
Well. then. you'll know the best or
the worst today week."
"Yes!" he said eagerly, almost him
self again. But, whichever way It
goes, In afraid it means trouble fer
me, Blanche; some time or other I'll
tell you why; but that's why l want
this to be the week of our lives"

Mr.. Toye. That was something. It
made it easier for Blanche not to ask
questions.

What a bonny pair they had made
even then, etc. Severely snubSed on
that subject, she took TO peering at
her mistress, once her bairn. with fur

Blanche, on her side, looked as though
she had something on her mind. and
indeed, had made one or two ATTEMPTS
to get ii OF. She had to force it even
in the end
There's just one thing I want TO
say before | go Martha. You know
when Mr.. Toye called yesterday. was
out ?"
oh, Mr. Toye: yes. remember.
Miss Blanche"
Well. ! don't want you to say that
he came in and waited half an hour
In vain; in fact. not that he came
In at all, or that you're even sure you
