Bob has never let himself go about
the war. Like many returned SOL
diers, he refuses to talk about it at
all, but his family has never doubted
that he harbors a lasting wrath
against the Hun who has blotted this
century's history with horror. Bob,
who is usually so silent, was quick to
take up Morrison's theory about the
abduction of American citizens by
Mexican bandits.
Anything to stir up trouble for
the United States-that's the German
way. Maybe Morrison is right" he
said.
AS he spoke. I thought of the ghost
1 had resurrected in Mexico: Hamil-
ton Certies-international spy-a
German on his mothers side. and
from his father the inheritor of a
Spanish title and vast wealth!
l mustn't let Bob get away to Mex
leo without discussing Certies with
him and with Jim. I must tell of
Certies' strange resemblance to the
leader of the bandits. / must speak
OF the spy system at the hacienda, and
the little maid who carried tales, n
the administrator who had tried to
cripple Jim's plane to prevent my es-
cape.
But l couldn't interrupt the conver-
sation. Jim was offering a contribu-
ton in support of Morrison'S theory:
II know a general" he said and ev-
erybody laughed because Jim, being
only a lieutenant, isn't supposed to
know generals intimately. odd friend
of mine-Went to college together.
He's been in Germany lately. He de-
clares that German propaganda is as
subtle today as at any time during
the war. He says it aims to embroil
us in complications with our neigh
Dor nations, and to spread red revo-
luton within our own gates, THAI It's
directed against the very foundations
Of our republic"
II read the other day that $4,000
Germans were about to emigrate to
Mexico" l v%entured.
Sure we've got rikht to dread that
influence right under your Uncle
Sans nose" remarked Morrison.
Every right minded citizen ought to
recognize German propaganda,
wherever it crops up and thwart it."
Boys, this business of this eXDedi-
ton is to rescue Miss Miller from out
laws-from rebels against their OWE
government. Remember that" was
Bob's warning. And I guess we'd
better get ready to start"
Il guess, Bob, you'd better wake
up before you GO l drawled in a
tone which always makes my hus-
band wary. You have brought that
scamp Berghoff, down hero as your
valet Suspicion concerning German
propaganda would better begin rsght
under your W nose. it seems to me-"
"Berghoff was interested in Miss
Miller's rescue. Naturally he wanted
to come. He had been in he1 employ
for months" Bob protested.
He helped to abduct Bah" I re-
torted.
He obeyed orders. Bob said, short
ly, and then rose to his feet as If the
conversation had come to an end.
Can o guess why Babs was sent
to Mexico?"
Bob shook his head.
III tell you. You recall the Gu
rious brown envelope-the foreign
paper which ave me the first clue to
Babs' whereabouts? ?"
Bob nodded-Morrison came over
and stood by my chair-Jim, to whom
the story was new, leaned forward to
listen.
when Berghoff sent the baby to
his friend in Mexico, he was using
Miss Miller as a tool to promote his
precious German propaganda! First.

THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL

Two hundred dollars! Louise. still
holding the bills tightly in her hand,
walked on down the street, slowly
and thoughtfully. She had intended
to go straight home and use what
ever money the necklace brought
her in paying tradesmen's bills. But
she thought it would not do any
harm, really, to spend a little for
things for the house. For instance,
they needed dishes. The dozen large
service plates, the fragile teacups and
a single fancy piece were all they
had to eat from. She would buy an
inexpensive set of china. There was
still time before the shops closed.
She turned into a store along Fifth
venue and hunted the china depart
ment.
1--WE have a few specials in a set
for six people," a polite attendant
told her. Really a great find. This
is a copy of a famous old English
design"
Louise looked at 1t and the spirit
Of temptation that was too much for
Eve assailed this most modern of
her daughters. Louise ordered the
set sent home. 1t was the perfect
thing for the dining room, barren
and empty of all but the hideous old
wardrobe. She walked out of the
shop and up the street, stuffing the
money back into her purse. There
were five small bills as change from
one Of the fifty dollar bills h had
given for the china, so her roll was
really thicker than before. And
Louise was apt to guage money by its
physical bulk.

Moonlight and Money
By MARION RUBINCAM.

Walking along the street she came
to a window where a few pieces of
exquisitely enamelled furniture were
shown. She stopped in admiration OF
the soft moss green of the back
ground and the effectiveness of the
quaintly-conceived %garlands of flow
ers pointed on it. Such a dining
room set would go beautifully in the
now empty room and the dishes
would be perfect with it. She went
inside and asked the price.
Six hundred dollars" the clerk
told her. And Louise went out feel
ing how insignificant, after all, was
her roll of two hundred. She looked
at the things again in the window.
And gradually a marvellous idea took
form in her mind. Then she hurried
to the station to catch the train she
knew Harry would take.
Gee, but I'm glad to see YOU was
his boyish greeting as she slipped
into the seat beside him. What
have you been doing? l left you a
wreck this morning and you look now
as though you'd never had a head
ache all your life"
Tn feeling Splendid Louise an
swered, smiling at him and admiring,
as she always did, the way his hair
waved back from his forehead. Ex-
cept for this slight curl in the front,
his hair was thick and straight. This
little eccentricity added greatly to
his good looks; for Harry was indie
niably handsome.
who have you been calling on ?"
he asked. You look like another
person. Where have you been %
Il don't think I'll tell you," she
leased, her eyes crinkling up with her
smile and her cheeks flushing again
their usual faint pink.
Wherever it is. go there again
then" Harry answered happily not
ing her improved appearance. ITS

said, and I've found some spiendit

| shall. I know a way to furnish our
house completely by the end of the
summer"
Il know a way too, but I haven
the money" the man said with sud
den gloominess.
Il have It," said Louise calmly
sensing the dramatic moment for he
surprise. She opened her bag an,
showed him the little wad of bills.
But, for the love of heaven.

Louise with sudden sternness,
you haven't borrowed it?"
From whom would 1 borrow it?"
she asked. Mother and Father are
both at opposite ends of the earth.
No, 1 just pawned my pearls"
But, good Lord, I won't let you do
that" Harry began.
Yes you WILL" she answered
quietly. II did think at first 1 would
pay that awful grocery bill, but I
shan't do that. Well manage that
somehow from your salary. This
money is mine and 1 want to make

again.

And that was the second lie she told
him and again it was done to spare
his feelings.

As it was he got to know what modern warfare is like, and exprest his willingness to live the rest of his days in Mena with his military edu- cation no greater than it is.
