COPYRIGHT eY LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE,

An eminently respectable quarter,
Seyenty-sixth street, between Madi-
son and Park avenues, a block as Sc
date as any In town, dedicated to the
homes of solid, decent, l~aw-abiding
bodies who, to be sure, wouldn't suf-
fer association with any establishment
of the least questionable character.
Since the cab had stopped not a
sound had disturbed the quiet save the
semioccasional rumbling of surface
cars on the one hand or snoring OF
motors on the other.
And number % itself was a resi-
dence of a type and caste to allay dis
trust at a glance-an elderly, we'll
TODD Sort. with brownstone front, well
groomed nothing in this ensemble the
least ominous or threatening.
Inclining to question old Quoin's
ever-ready inference, Peter climbed
back into the cab, and for five min
utes Rugged himself In private ecstasy.
Everything was for all the best in
the best of all possible worlds. He
needed only to crowd things a bit, rush
the wedding through before Lydia
realized that people were onto Craven,
keep her if possible ignorant forever
of old Tad's disgrace That could be
fixed, no doubt. Fortunately Betty
wasn't vindictive. Quoin's commission
from her had been merely to scare
Craven silly and run him out OF town.
And that, of course, would keep things
dark for Craven would never dare re-
turn.
OF course, If he ever found out his
| daughter didn't know, and her u
band didn't want her to know, he
would likely try on a little blackmail-
ing. Just to keep body and soul to-
gether. But Peter wouldn't mind that
not in moderation. Anyway, he'd al
ways liked old Tad; and TO think OF
him in want, who had been so reful-
gent a figure in the life of town, would
be keen discomfort for his prospective
son-in-law. Peter dared say old TAD
could do with a tidy bit of blackmail
something adequate and regular.
And he, for one, would begrudge
it.
But when five minutes had elapsed
Peter began to idget. That's a long
time to wait for a girl you're crazy
about, who has just owned up she's

He consulted his watch: ten minutes

couldn't have been more than a quar-

The Swedish crisis is closely linked

recent German successes have been
expected to lure Sweden into the war

ancient naval power to Sweden.
But the Swedes are more valuable
