Nothin' is done unless one of them is
present. Well. today was the big day
with Amalgamated-dividen day and
all that Well. when none of them four
showed up, Symons supposed it's just
coincidence. Clurg thinks Mikets

will be there and Larned thinks Prem

be passed without ONE of them bein'
present, so Symons telephones Larned.
He learns that Larned left his house
at 10, after phonin' his Office he wouldn't
be there till noon. Had to attend Anal
gamated Generals directors meetin'. he
said.
"Symons don't think much OF thai:

nature, Of course. is this his!'
He showed Malcolm the signature
OF the note that Peter Perkins had
brought fom Long Island yesterday
and which Herkomer had since carried.
Sensitive to ridicule. not wishing to
appear easily hoaxed. he folded the
waterproofed paper on which the mes
sage was written. so that only the sig
nature showed.
Malcolm scrutinized it carefully.
Well" he smiled, ''if this Is a note

Much obliged" said Herkomer.
Malcolm fingered a moment; then,
seeing that Herkomer was slightly en-
barrassed and wished to say no more,
the banker nodded and left the ROOM
Herkomer stared at the folded paper
in his hand. Conybear's signature! So
Malcolm affirmed. and Malcolm. in
addition to his financial accomplish
ments, had invented and caused to be
adopted in many banks besides his own
a system of verifying signatures that
had been very successful. He was by
way of being a handwriting expert,
and II he said that this was the sig
nature OF Burton Conybear, then Bur
ton Conybear's signature 1t was!
Herkomer walked to the club dining
room and ordered dinner. He ate me-
chanically. his mind perplexed. Why
should old Conybear have written such
note? The old fnancierf was not in

possessed: in the enormity of the crime
it had not seemed too absurd that
preparations against the CRIMES COM
mission should have been of apparent
magnitude; in his hurry to get to Camp
avenue he had been too occupied with
his errand to reason calmly about the
plausibility Of Henderson's words.
But one thing struck out: Henderson
had stated that there was no telephone
at No. SO Camp avenue. that there had
not been time to install one. That was
false. 1t might be the falsehood Of ig-
norance, but--Waring did not think so
1t had sounded all right when Hender-
son had said 1t, but now II Cony-
bear had feared kidnapping and had
taken precautions because Of his fear,
one of those precautions would be the
installation Of telephone. Henderson
had said that there had not been time.
But Burton Conybear was the richest
man in America Within nve minutes
after Burton Conybear had asked for
a telephone a corps OF men would have
started to do the work.
Henderson, then, had uttered q know
ing falsehood about tho telephone.
Why? There was the rub! Although
his nerves tingled with suspicion,
Waring did not know where those sus-
picions pointed. And now the girl
spoke again.

OF course, it was not an I'M

in the world. should be kidnapped and
held to ransom. for the KIDNAPPING had
happened. But that Burton Conybear
should have foreseen such a happening
well. he'd done 1t: therefore it WASH
impossible. And, having decided to
leave whatever action might be taken
to the discretion Of Conybear's asso-

Henderson's orders. He took 1th ave

Herkomer played masse shot very
creditably and proceeded to run out his
string. Flushed with victory, he led his
companion to the grill of the PATRONS

his friend was not dining at the club

police commissioner to sip his Tripoh

Taking precedence over any event of the pre-Lenten season the ball masqUe at the Country club Wedhes- day evening is being anticipated with unusual pleasure. Maids and matrOns are discussing costumes over the tea cups and it is understood that not a few will appear in wonderfully effec- tive gowns. Heretofore the sole ob- ject has been disguised but tn spirit of the approaching affair seems to be to include spectacular splendor and beauty as well and according to all reports this consideration is re- ceNing undivided attention. The greatest secrecy is being maintained for although 1t IS known that there will be fewer of the stereOtyped cos tunes than at past masquerades the individual costuming has not been divulged. Masks will be worn until eleven, at which time, no doubt, seV- eral belles and beaus will receive a a decided surprise Supper will be served at midnight.
 Among the dinners scheduled to pre- cede the bal masque at the Country club Wednesday evening, is that of Mir. and Mrs. Warren McArthur. who will entertain ip honor of MT. and Mrs. Fred Hamilton of omaha.
