from the lower bridge and will place
temporary poles to the channel and a
cable across it FOR use until the bridge is

pear greatly surprised, and learning he
is to be in town until midnight, the lady,
introducing herself as Mrs. kirkland, and
her husband as Doctor kirkland, invites
him to dinner, explaining the action by
his truly remarkable resemblance to a

He stepped toward her with the evi-

hall. She darted to meet him. and,
before he could evade her, flung her

THAT'S dear old brotherkins!" ap-
proved Amy in the same breath, and
she rose on tiptOe with her smiling
lips upturned for his brotherly salute.
BENIN sighed enviously At the sigh
Clinton bent over the temptation. His
lips came so near to the girls that his
mustache graZed the tip Of her saucy
nose. But instead of kissing her on
the mouth, he put up his hand to lift
her backfiung head, and pressed his
lips reverently to her broad white
forehead
II say, now" remarked BENIN, 'if
that's not proof you're her brother!
Miss Amy has only to say the word,
and / shall be charmed to illustrate
how one who is not brother"
The girl faced the others, leaning
affectionately on Clinton's shoulder.

trif1e unsteadily. "On the contrary, 1t
was my head that came near being
off me-"
Mrs. Kirkland looked earnestly at
Clinton. MAY 1 suggest that an
apology" she began.
FROM me! flashed BENIN, with
heartinesS that forestalled ClintOn's
frown. Though meant it as friend,
I should not have-er-resorted to
physical persuasion"
'"That is generous Of you, Mr..
BENIN" said Clinton.
"Well, you see, you persuaded me,
instead" rallied BENIN. "YOu pre-
scented deucedly effective argument"
"Oh, if Charlie takes it that way,
WILL" remarked Mrs. Kirkland.
Indeed, yes," added Ellen, regard
ing Amy's sisterly cuddling with a
wistful look. But you'll never do
such a shocking thing again, will you?"
''That depends" answered Clinton,
a trifie dryly.

Amy slipped away and glided out

in the way.
"Hold on, old man." he advised.

Clinton put out his hand to push
him away. BENIN caught him by the
wrist in a viselike grasp. Clinton's
face went white; his eyes shone like
sunlit ice He spoke in very low and
quiet tone: "You fool There are
ladies present. Let CO."
"Not unless you give me your word
to stay and clear up about those
bonds" replied BENIN.
Clinton made an attempt to wrest
himself free. BENIN held him fast
with unexpected strength. But he
made the mistake of permitting
shade of irony to appear in his suave
smile. The look in his prisoners eyes
warned him to guard himself. He
flung up his right arm with the quick
