One day Mr.. Postum was walking
through the woods thinking of some.
thing good to eat. though he had not
the slightest idea where he would get
1t, when he met Mr.. Coon coming
along with his head down as If he, too,
were thinking.

Coon"
MY thoughts are worth more than

most fortunate chance that the letter
itself came TO light. However, l can
not see at this late date what differ
ence II could possibly make when the
letter was mailed, since 1t establishes
beyond any possibility OF doubt that it
was mailed. As to the matter Of the
negotiation Of the loan, would prefer
that you apply to Mr.. Moore himself
for the particulars concerning it,

as | have been to give you such def
mite information as he possesses
This time the dismissal could not be
ignored. and Ramon Hamilton took his
departure, but not before he had mark
ed well the particular drawer within
the safe from which the letter had
been taken.
AS he went down the corridor, a
saucy, red-cheeked young woman with
business briskress in her manner
came from an inner office and smiled
boldly at him. She was Loretta Muir
fee, the new filing clerk who had been
installed only that morning in Mr.. Nal
loves office.
Had Ramon known her to be the
protegee of Anita Lawton and the spy
Of Henry Blaine, he might have slanc-
ed at her second time.
The young man proceeded straight
to the Offices of Charlton Moore, the
banker, and found that an interview
was readily granted him. Mr.. Moore
remembered the incident Of the loan,
and his private accounts showed that
it had been made on the sixteenth of
August two years previously.
Mr. Mallowe arranged the matter
with you for Mr.. Lawton, did he not?"
Ramon asked.

He nodded to her and walked away,
and Julia, somewhat cheered and not
little excited by this indefinite good
news, went on with her arrangement
of the stock.
AT ten minutes past six she stepped
out of the sultriness Of the store into
the hot roar of the street and made
her way slowly uptown. In spite of
the thought of what the morrow might
hold for her in the way of advance
ment she felt depressed. The noise
and heat of the streets offered no
respite from the hustle and humidity
of Baird's. The people who passed
her locked dirty and uncomfortable.

looked hot and there was the reek of
