The slan Of indian Prosperity,

The ownership Of a motorcar may
not always be a safe index of material
prosperity. but In the case Of John
IAghtfoot Of Arizona, ownership of u
car may at least be taken as a proof
that the blanket Indian can succeed
at dry farming. Mr.. Lightfoot Is said
to possess such a machine, but 1t Is
safe to predict that he will not long
be the only red man to enjoy this
privilege.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN.

On Thursday Of each week Miss
Mallon put her forenoon at the
disposal Of "the girls"--girls
who, for any reason, wanted her
help or advice. She believed in
personal charity-the right word
at the right time, the revival Of
hope, the Strengthening Of pur-
pose, the taking hold again of
high ideals.
If they want to find work"
she explained, II can often help
them. If they are in search Of
consolation, l a always help
them. Women are so brave, but
they have so much to fight
against. Theirs is never the short,
sharp struggle, the doing of big
and startling things. Their fate
is the little drudgeries, the heart
breaking trifes. Girls, all girls, are
wonderful"
Miss Mallon's "Thursday for
girls" had become a Washington
institution. No girl was refused
admittance. None ever failed to
see her.
Her first visitor on this particu-
lar Thursday was Mrs. Griswold
Kane.
Mrs. Kane added a general fluff
fness to the atmosphere-fuffi-
ness and gossip. She knew every
body and everything. That, she
frequently explained, was the es.
sence of real living-that, and to
know always that men were e
fectly and absolutely unreliable.
History" she confded to
Edith, sinking into a chair so big
that it accentuated in an absurd
manner her chubbiness, repeats
itself In a most annoying way.
Things began to happen in this
part OF the world when one John
Smith came over here from Eng.
land. Now, everything that hap
pens in Washington revolves
around John Smith,
What have you heard" asked
Edith, recognizing the generality
as an introduction to specific in
formation.
Il have heard a most wonder
full thing, my dear. 1t $ complete
in plot, detail and theme"
"What is it?n
You are engaged to be mar
ried to John Smith, and, as your
father dislikes him intensely, YOU
see him only by stealth-at long
intervals"
Edith looked troubled.
II hope" she said seriously.
she will not hear it. It would be
too bad for such gossip to disturb
him at such a time as this when he
needs all his thought and all his
energy for his work"
"You hope it. don't disturb
him!' Mrs. Kane's eyes became
very round with a real astonish-
ment. How about its disturbing
youf"

who's going to make me go?'
Waller jerked his finger toward
Flenner.
Suspicious character" said
Flenner %laconically.
Simpsons half pent rage burst
forth.
"Then, by God!" he said hoarse-
ly, ON go. [ tell you | don't
know anything about John Smith
or no other Smith. You guys are
crazy!"
Waller examined the purplish
face a long time. Then he rose,
Strengthened his hat on his head,
and stood meditative, swinging his
cane in front Of him slowly. All
of a sudden his hand shot out and
he raped Simpsons knees for the
second time.
"Tell me! u he Numbered.
The voice, more than the blow,
frightened Simpson.
81 would--if 1 knew" he said
thickly. Honest to God! But /
don't know. You fly cops must be
crazy"
Waller walked to the door and
back.
"F1enner," he said at last, "out
he goes tonight"
Flenner stepped over to Simp-
son, and, bending down, tapped
him with his fingers on the chest.
"You're not wanted in this
town-see? It's somewhere else
or a cell. Get that now! If you re
here at 6 o'clock in the morning,
you'll go down to Occoquan,
where they make you do a lot of
work for very little food"
A whimper came into Simp
sons voice.
81 guess I got to CO." he
whined.
Waller was already at the door.
"No guess about it'll" cautioned
Flenner. "You go!"
The policeman produced the key
and unlocked the door. As he fol
lowed Waller out, he looked back
to say:
"Get it right now! Col"
When they had left the hotel,
Flenner said:
"That was a long chance to
take, Mr.. Waller. If we didn't
know you SO well, we never could
have done it."
The policeman was not entirely
in Walters confidence. He wa
wondering what it was all about
"He knows" Waller said stub
bornly. II haven't a nose for
news for nothing. I tell you he
knows! Why else would he be
here now7 Why would he be fol.
lowing Albert Mitchell around!
He knows. That's what makes the
story complete"
"Well, suppose he does know
hazarded Flenner. "What do you
think he knows?"
ooh, a whole lot" Waller re.
piled vaguely. "He knows, and
I'll get hold of it yet"

to speak, but the patient beat him to

new game.
"Look here! | don't know any
thing about any John Smith"
Waller, his movements exceed
ingly languid, laid down the cards,
pushed his hat back a trife on his
forehead, and, leaning forward,
picked up his cane and struck the
beady eyed man a sharp blow
across the knees.
"Don't lie!" he said, languor
still in his voice.
The man who had been struck
jumped to his feet. AS he gained
the upright posture, the policeman
sprang at him and thrust him back
into the chair.
Waller laid down the cane and
took up the cards.
ooh, yes, you do" he said.
II tell you | don't!" The pur-
plish face assumed a notified look.
"And I amt going to stand for
this! Coming in here with a cop
and assaulting a man in his own
room!"
Waller turned slowly toward
the policeman.
"Flenner," he said, "show him
the picture"
The policeman unbuttoned his
coat and took from his breast
pocket a photograph, which he
held up SO that the other could see
it. 1t was a photograph of the
beady eyed man.
Where did you get that?"
asked the original of the picture.
Waller answered:
"Out of a little room in a big,
white, marble building at the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and
fourteenth street, where police
headquarters is located = out Of
the rogues' gallery"
The notified face became per-
ceptibly more puffy.
Walters manner changed en-
tirely. His languor and boredom
slipped from him as if he had put
off an outer garment. He became
quick, 1.-the, sudden, as he slapped
the cards down on the table and
wheeled full face toward the
beady eyed man.
"See here!" he said incisiyely.
"Your names Simpson, and you
did time in California three years
ago. Now don't try any funny
business with us. Out with it II
you don't want trouble, tell it to
mel"
Simpson grew sullen.
Well, what is it you want to
knowY' he replied resentfully.
You know what I want to
know" Waller commanded him
erisply. "Now tell it to me-. What
do You know about John Smith -
Nothing"
Don't lie! What is i'll"
Simpson, stirring in his chair
until it creaked, glowered at Wal.
Ter.
Honest to God,' he said rough
", II don't know who you mean.
! amt never known any John
Smith"
Waller leaned forward and
laughed. There was in his laughter
nothing but threat.
"The man you saw in Manners.

That's the John Smith I'm TALKING
about. What do you know about

shifty eyes looked at both Waller
and the policeman. "Not a thing
