drove into the country with Bert Nor
rison, when on the brow of a hill he
switched off his lights that they might
better admire the majesty of the
heavens. That Coward should place
an evil Interpretation upon that Incl
dent was thing so monstrous, so al
together beyond argument, that Dave
fell back upon the basic human meth
cd reserved for such occasions. His
fist leaped forward, and Coward
crumpled up before 1t.
Coward lay stunned for few min
utes, then, with returning conscious
ness, he tried to sit up. Dave helped
him to a chair. Blood flowed down his
face, and as he began to realize what
had occurred it was joined with tears
Of pain, rage, humiliation.
"You got that one on me, Eden" he
said, after a while. But it was a
towards blow. You hit me when
wasn't looking. Very well. Two can
play at that game. I'll hit when you're
not looking F.. where you don't ex-
pect it . where you can't hit back.

Coward, leeringly. "and then you'll

her to you, Dave, like that" He lifted
a burnt match from an ash-tray and
held it before him.
Dawes impulse was to seize the
thick, flabby throat in his hands and
choke 1t lifeless. With a resolute eff
fort he turned to the telephone and
lifted the receiver.
"Send a car and a doctor to Coward
& Elden's Office" he said when he had
got the desired number. "Mr. Con-

CITY PEOPLE "EASY MARKS"
Many Bestowed Aims on 5eggar for
Whom Lusty Youth Wac En-
gagged in Barking"

Since efficiency is finding its way
into all business one of the oldest
professions" of all has begun to adopt
modern methods. The innovation Is
due TO beggar who made his stand
opposite one Of the subway entrances
along the Williamsburg bridge APP
proach on Delaney street, the New
York Evening Sun states.
Many who passed this spot recently
were struck by the appearance Of this
beggar, an elderly, long-bearded man,
who sat huddled up In a wheel chair.
Alongside was husky youth Of nine
teen or so, busily engaged Ia barking"
for the beggar. Secretly the latter
must have thought II good joke on
the alIns-giving public, for there was
always a smlrk on his face. as his
friend shouted so none should neglect
to drop a coin in the beggars lap. His
"splel" was in Yiddish, which, roughly
translated into English, would be:

desk, or something. Nothing serious,
but may need a stitch or two" Then,
turning to Coward: at will depend
on you whether this affair gets to the
public-on you and Miss Wardin.
Make your own explanations. And as
soon as you are able to be about our
partnership will be dissolved"
Coward was ready enough to adopt
Dawes suggestion that their quarrel
should not come to the notice of the
public, and Gladys Wardin, apparent
ly, kept her own counsel in the mat
out of business without even the for
mality of an assignment, and others
were being absorbed by their competi-
tors, the dissolution Of the Coward &
Eden establishment occasioned no
more than passing notice. The ex-
PLANTATION, "for business reasons"
given to the newspapers, seemed sufi-
cient.
Irene Hardy found herself in a po-
sition of increasing delicacy. Since the
day of their conversation in the tea
room Dave had been constant in his
attentions, but, true to his ultimatum,
had uttered no word that could In any
way be construed to be more or less
than platonic. She had now no doubt
that she felt for Dave that attachment
without which ceremonies are without
avail and with which ceremonies are
but ceremonies. And yet she shrank
from surrender. And she knew
that some day she must surrender.
The situation was complicated by
conditions which involved her mother
and Coward. 1t was apparent that
Conward's friendship for Mrs. Hardy
did not react TO Dawes advantage.
Coward was careful to drop no word
in Irene's hearing that could be taken
as a direct reflection upon Dave, but
she was conscious of an influence, a
magnetism, II almost seemed, the
whole tendency OF which was to pull
her away from Eden.
Mrs. Hardy had invested practically
all her little fortune In her house. The
small sum which had been saved from
that unfortunate investment had been
eaten up In the cost Of furnishing and
maintaining the home. Doctor Hardy,
In addition to his good name. had left
his daughter some few thousand dol

Eden swung on his heel and paced
the length of the office in quick, sharp

to find Eden there, but after a mo-

asked, cheerlly. sour train goes in"
He took his watch from his pocket

Dawes eyes were fixed on the girl.

voice-"it means that after all these

ward protested. 81 will not fight"
"Oh, will leave" said Miss Wardin,
with alacrity. "And 1 hope he soaks
you WELL" she shot back, as the door
closed behind her.
But by this time Coward had as
sumed a superior attitude. 'Dave,"
he said, II won't fight over a quarrel
OF this kind. But remember, there are
some things in which no man allows
another TO interfere. Least of all such
a man as you. There are ways Of get
