An hour later young Laidlaw, with
his wallet newly rcplcted, climbed out
Of taxicab before the apartment
house. AS he did 50 he caught sight
Of familiar figure just disappearing
through the entrance. II was his
father. Young Laidlaw ground his
te9h, and strolled thoughtfully
around the block, feeling sure that he
had the cash arguments at hand TO
play his game.
Meanwhile the elder Laidlaw, in
Mays apartment was slipping an ex.
pcnsiye diamond engagement ring on
the girls finger in spite Of her pro-
tests that the gift was much too yalu-
able. As nc stepped back into the
hall, the door Of Mona's flat opened
as though by accident, and that sauey
young woman, attircd for the street,
stood confronting him.
"Oh Mr.. Laidlaw," she said sweet
~ ~ have been thinking over your
visit to me, and ! have come 10 the

Peter Ladlaw, grimly, as he hurried
from the house, SO occupied with his
thoughts that he did not see the
lodging figure Of his son behind the
corner Of the building.
Five minutes later Dick Laidlaw
was pressing the bell Of Mary's flat.
The interview was short, and If not
sweet, at least was eminently satisfac-
tory TO both parties. When the
younger Laidlaw took up his hat,
Mary held twenty crisp 500 bills.

At about the same minute another
interview Of much the same nature,
and terminating in an equally salts
factory manner, was taking place in
the apartment OF Mona just across
the corridor. .
Understand" finished the elderly
Laidlaw, that you relinquish all
claims TO my son--that henceforth
you will see nothing Of him under any
circumstance"
Quite right" agreed Mona, as she
softly rustlcd the newly mintcd bills
which her caller had pressed on her.
And now, is there anything further3

deliberately, as he stepped to the
door The girl accompanied him
sweetly, saw him safely into the cor
ridor, and then started forward with
distended eyes AT practically the
same moment the door Of Mary's
apartment had also opened for her
visitor. Father and son stood star
ing at one another, and at their
shoulders the two girls.
For a tense moment the tableau
