be. Tell E. that I'll have the papers to him by the first post-my copy, of course"
 Somebody chuckled behind her. Miss
 Ferguson turned, to find herself look ing into Lorimers face.
 "So it was you, just as I suspected" said Lori1ner, chuckling again. The secretary sprang to her feet in
 panic. ''Touch me if you dare!' she
 screamed.
 "I have no intention of touching you, Miss Ferguson" said Lorimer My
 remarks of this morning were simply
 destined to put you into an uneasy
 frame of mind. have suspected you for a good many months" "Well, you've caught me with the
 goods" she answered defiantly. "What
 are you going to do about it?"
 q don't know" said Lorimer. Why
 did you do it? Pm paying you $50 a
 week. How much does Ellsworth
 pay?"
 Fifty" snapped Miss Ferguson
 And Pm to get hundred as soon as you find out and discharge me-" "Ellsworth won't pay you penny" said Lorimer "He isn't white. What
 did you do 1t for?" You call yourself white?" demanded
 the girl. "Well-say! How about your treatment of MT. Adams? You
 owe him about two hundred thousand" Simply business" returned Lorimer. Adams was an impracticable man. He couldn't have used penny more than he was getting. AS matter of fact, he struck for forty, the fool, and that was what raised my anger If he'd
 asked a hundred I'd have given it. Say,
 come, now, what did you do 1t for?
 Just fifty from Ellsworth" The woman thrust her jaw forward. "I'll tell you," she said. You ruined
 my fathers life, you kept his nose to the grindstone, you drove him into his
 grave through lack of the recognition which ought to have been his My name isn't Ferguson at all-it's Adams. Pm MT. Adams daughter, see? And when he died in poverty I vowed to get some of that money back. Did do it? Eh? Did I do it?"
 Well come to that later," said Lorimer. "Now that Pve found the leak, of course I shall have to stop it. You won't expect to stay?" Well, I should say not!'' But I'll give you hundred week to get that job with Ellsworth and fin0 OI1t Uhof vo1I oop for ,,ao What? Do you take me for that sort of woman? I haven't thing against MT. Ellsworth" "All right" said Lorimer soothingly. But if he doesn't live up to the terms
 of this bargain?"
 ''Then you can count on me-" said the secretary fercely. But not till
 then. Good afternoon, MT. Lorimer
 and don't forget your treatment of Adams has cost you a few thousand dollars more than if you'd been white man."
 When she was gone Lorimer sat down at the telephone in turn. "Give
 me 3427," he told the operator at cen
 tral.
 Hello! Is that you, Ellsworth? Say,
 that woman spy that gave those fake papers to about the flue-well, I've
 got tired of her. Pm sending her to
 you."
 "The deuce you are, Lorimer," an-
 swered Ellsworth. "Yes. Cut down her wages, and
 give her few fake papers to betray to
 me. I'll keep on putting up fifty weekly"
 Say, Lorimer," said Ellsworth in annoyance, isn't this hobby of yours pretty expensive one?" "Oh, we'll, owed something to her father" said Lorimer. Besides, Ells-
 worth, so long as we both employ her we'll know she isn't betraying either of us to the other, and with woman of Miss Ferguson's ability it's neces- sary to keep her out of mischief some how. call fifty apiece cheap, don't you? So longw
