He was looking her fairly in the eyes
as he said it, and the light in the
new offices was excellent. Thanks to
her horseback riding, Miss Coro Ia S
small oval face had a touc!. of
healthy outdoor tan; but under the
tan there came, for just fitting in
stant, a flush of deep color, and at
the back of the gray eyes there was
something that Smith had never seen
there before.
"Its-it's just an initial?" she
queried.
Yes; it's just an initial, and I
don't use it ordinarily. I'm not
ashamed of the plain John"
Il don't know why you should be, :"
she commented, half absently, he
thought. And then: How many
John NJ. Smiths do you suppose
there are in the United States?"
"Oh, l don't know; a million or
so, l guess"
Il should think you would be
rather glad of that" she told him.
But when he tried to make her say
why he should be glad, she talked
pointedly of other things and pres
entity went back to her fathers Of
flee.
There were fine little headings of
perspiration standing on the fugi-
tive's forehead when she left him.
After the other members of the Of
flee force had taken their departure,
he still sat at his desk striving to
bring himself back with some degree
of clearheadness to the pressing de-
mands of his job. Just as he was
about to give it up and go across to
the Hophra House for his dinner,
William Starbuck drifted in to open
the railing gate and to come and
plant himself in the chair of privilege
at Smiths desk end.
We'll, son; you've got the animals
stirred up good and plenty, at last"
he said, when he had found the ma

day from his kiddie's grandpaw-and

I'm listening" said Smith.
Dicks wire was an order; in
structions from headquarters to keep
hands off of your new company and
to work strictly in cahootS-''har-
mony' was the word he used-with
Crawford Stanton. How does that fit
you?"
The financial secretary's smile was
the f-congratulatory face-wrink-
ling of the quarry foreman who has
seen his tackle hitch hold to land
the big stone safely at the top of the
pit.
What is Maxwell going to do
about it?" he asked.
Dick is all wool and yard wide;
and what he signs his name to is
what he is going to stand by. You

lin not borrowing any trouble.
Mr.. Fairbairn and his colleagues are
just few minutes too late, Starbuck.
We've got our footing-inside of the
corral"
The eX-cowpuncher, who was now
we'll up on the middle rounds of for
tunes ladder, shook his head doubt
fully.
Don't you make any brash
breaks, John. Mr.. Hiram Fairbairn
and his crowd can swing twenty mill
lions to your one little old dollar and
a half, and they're not going to leave
any of the pebbles unturned when it
comes to saving their investment in

thought I'd drop in and tell you"
Smith went to his rooms in the
hotel a few minutes later to change
for dinner. He found the linen draw
er in his dressing case overfiowing.
Opening another, he began to ar
range the overflow methodically. The
empty drawer was lined with a news
paper, and a single headline on the
upturned page sprang at him like a
thing living and venomous. He bent
lower and read the undermining
paragraph with a dull rage mounting
to his eyes and serving for the mo-
ment to make the gray printed lines
turn red.
Lawrenceville, May 19. - The
grand jury has found a true bill
against Montague Smith, the alb
sconding cashier of the Lawrence
vile Bank and Trust, charged with
embezzling the banks funds. The
crime would have been merely q
breach of trust and not actionable
but for the fact that Smith, by own
ing stock in the bankrupt Westfall
industries lately taken over by the
Richlander company, had so made
himself amenable to the law. Smith
disappeared on the night of the 14th
and is still at large. He is also want
ed on another criminal count. 1t will
be remembered that he brutally as
saulted President Dunham on the
night of his disappearance. The re-
ward of $1,000 for his apprehension
and arrest has been increased to $2,-
600 by the bank directors.

usual kissing me on the cheek again

"Oh, my dear Miss Dart" she
said, 'I do love you! I am glad l
have you with me all the time. You
won't ever go away-will you?"
What subtle telepathy or intuition
had moved the little creature to say
Just these words on this, of all
nights?
Foolish child" I chided affec-
tionately, trying to laugh naturally.
Why should 1 go away? What
would 1 do without you, Honey?"
She, too, laughed. "I was only
funning, 1 guess" she reioined. II
