idea of June's approach until she came
abreast of them as they reached the
entrance door of Farwell's Office build
ing. June nodded and smiled at La
mar, who. shook hands eagerly, his
face radiant Then he turned to Far
well and introduced him to June.
How do you do, Mr.. Farwell?" said
June in her most innocent manner.
IL wish you'd come in with us, Miss
Travis" Lamar said. "Farwell is go
ing to show me the Gordon papers,
want your advice"
Lamar turned to June.
Can you make yourself comfortable
here for a few minutes?" he asked,
Offering a chair. "Farwell and / will
go over the preliminaries by our
selves, in the inner ofiice-we won't
bore you with unnecessary details"
June was alone, save for very
young secretary who was seated at a
desk stamping letters.
IF only that miserable secretary
would go away" she thought
Presently he did that very thing.
June jumped up at once. Getting a
chair from the corner Of the room, she
carried II to the door, jumped lightly
up and applied a pair of very pretty
but very curious eyes to the transom.
Lamar and Farwell were seated at
a table. Papers were strewn every
where; but Farwell had separated Cor
don's securities receipt from the 9TH
ers and was Just in the act of handing
It to Lamar.
There's the receipt" June heard
him say. 'It means prison II we can
capture him"
Lamar let the paper drop to the
table before him. He hated the bust
ness I'm hand.
June. who loved him, read all this
in his face.
Here is where 1 come In again,
she said to herself.
In flash she saw how IL could all
be done. Jumping lightly down, she
landed on the floor on the tips of her
toes and slipped out into the hallway.
With quick look up and down, she

claimed. "The man must have dropped
1t when he ran! See what Santa
Claus brought for good little grill"
he called to June, waving the bag be-
fore her as he entered the office.
"Oh-thank you, Mr.. Lamar! knew
you would find it for me If any mortal
could I'm a million times grateful to
you'll"
Let me go home with you," pleaded
Lamar.
"Oh, no, really-I'll be perfectly all
right by myself answered June.
Anyway, | shall insist on taking
you down to the door"
"All right" said June, reluctantly.
Lamar stood looking tenderly after
June for a moment, and then he went
back to rejoin Farwell.
AS he entered the door he collided
with Farwell, who, wild-eyed and pant
ing, gripped him by the arm and half
dragged him to the table of the inner
Office
The Gordon receipts gone!" he
gasped.
At the same moment, Lamar saw
the white circle-it startled him most
unpleasantly. Then Farwell pushed
him toward the safe.
"See," he cried, I'm robbed
They've taken bundle of bank notes!
Read this thing!" AS he spoke he
pulled the printed circle off the safe
knob and thrust it into Lamar's hands
What Lamar read was this:
THE money will be put to a good
use by the Circle Lady"
He was speeches., and could only
stare, wide-eyed, at the paper.
Speaking dazedly to himself. rath-
er than to Farwell:

He sat down and pulled the tele-
phone toward him. He gave the num-

AS soon as Gage recognized his
voice, the clerk began pouring forth
his tale about the mysterious woman
who handcuffed him to the door;

eleventh lNSTALLMENT
SEEDS OF SUSPICION

In Lamar's office, Gordon stood with
his back to the locked door; white
faced, gasping. For the moment, at
least, he was safe--and his eyes never
left the face of the girl

"Ill look in the outer office. Mr.. La.
mars confidential clerk may be there.
Don't move till l come back"
On her way to the door, June hur-
riedly laid her gloves and wrist bag
on Lamar's desk, half-subconsciously
noting, at the same time, a pair of
handouts that lay there. With little
shudder she passed them by, and,
slowly opening the office door, peered
cautiously out.
There, with his back to her, sat
Gage, the confidential clerk, busily
writing and serenely unconscious that
anyone was looking at him. June soft
ly closed and locked the door.
Gordon gave nervous glance
around, then began:
THE whole thing, in a nutshell, Is

should turn to June. the girl who had
done SO much for him? He would
have been less jubilant IL he could
have guessed the new complications in
which she was just then entangled.
After leaving Gordon in the park.
June had gone straight home and up
stairs to her boudoir There were
still signs of the hurried return to
town-an empty trunk, and some ar
ticles of clothing lying around; and
she wondered idly what Mary had

out Of her dress. A dreamy look-a
very sweet look-came into her eyes
as she thought how much good that
money was going to do. In her mind
was vivid picture of the hard-work-
ing men in Farwell's foundry, whose
cooperative profits" had been taken
away from them.
"They shall have their money, just
the Same" she said to herself. IF /

a good cause"
With the dreamy smile still light
ing her face, June stood lost in happy
thought, when suddenly she heard
Mary's familiar footsteps, and her look
changed to one Of alarm.
She thrust the papers into the near
est hiding place-a table drawer, and
Just managed to get it shut as Mary
came in from her own room with hor-
ror written in every line of her face.

earth is the matter with you? You

and Mary simultaneously. Then they

At that moment, unconscious OF all
that was going on inside the house,
Lamar slowly passed by; his head
bent, his face haggard and drawn. He
had to come there intending to see
June; to face her with the facts; and
to ask her to tell him what she knew
about all the wretched business. But
when he reached the house he some
how found that he loved her too much
to put her to the test.

said aloud. She is as holy as-as my
own mother. She is above suspicion.
AS far above suspicion as a saint In q

circumstance points to her as-as-"
An idea flashed into his mind, cleo
trifying him to quick decision.

dread, half in triumph, yes. that Is II.
Tomorrow will tell Tomorrow will

History Repeats Itself
By JOHN P. FREY

Even in the matter of disputes over
the question OF the union or non union
shop, history repeats itself. In the rec
ords of the city of Exeter, England,
there is found reference to bitter
struggle by the Taylor's Gid during the
years l475-6-7, in its effort to bring
about thoro organization and force all
tailors to pay dues to the gild, on the
one hand, and the non n-union, or non.
gild tailors, supported apparently by the
city authorities, on the other. We are
informed in the most unique language
that the members of the gild attacked
the non-members and destroyed their
shops in the ''modo querrino arriate We
ct armis, videlicet jactis, doblettis or
defense, swerdis, bodelers. glayves, and
slaves, in domo," and that at other
times they were armed with "arsubus,
glayvis, baculis, ct daggarlis.' In fact,
the belligerent tailors seem to have used
every weapon except scissors and press
ing irons upon their opponents.
The record would make it appear that
the non-gild tailors We're good citizens
and independent workmen and a credit
to the city, while the union or gild tai
lors were bad and desperate lot; but
the story is told by the city authorities
who We're fighting the gild and endeavor-
ing to put in out of business.
They did succeed in putting it out of
business" just as has been done to mod
ern trade unions, only to discover that
the motives and principles which prompt
workmen to organize are more powerful
than the mere edict of a court that they
shall disband.
The gild d-hating city fathers prepared
Il strong casce. and armed with affida-
Wits, presented it before the king at
London. The king, Edward ". sided
with the Exeter authorities and issued Il
decree disbanding the Taylors' Gid. Two
of the kings commissioners, John For
tesque and John Courtney, went to Exc
ter and officially decreed that the gild
was no more. Afterwards, as We are
told, jubilantly drinking wine with the
mayor, John Denys, in the house of Mat
thew Tubbc, at the expense of the town
to the amount of viii d.

ture, for the union tailors refused to
