the whole world was suddenly turned
upside down. So she really belonged

was good joke on him.
Before he finished his meal his mood
had changed to tolerant amusement.
That the girl had deliberately deceived
him was plain enough, revealed now
In both her manner and words. II
was clear she really belonged to the
Lacy crowd, and had no more use for
him.
He could scarcely comprehend the
situation; how girl of her apparent
refinement and gentility could ever be
attracted by a rough. brutal type such
as Ned Beaton so evidently was. There
surely must be some other cause draw
ing them together. Yet. whatever 1t
was, there was no doubt but that he
lad been very properly sDubbed. Her
words stung: yet II was the manner
in which she had looked at him and
swept past at Beaton's side which hurt
The most. Oh, well. an enemy more
Or less made small difference In his
life; he would laugh at 1t and forget.
She had made her choice of compan-
! ionship, and II was just as well, prob
ibly. that the affair had gone no fur
her before he discovered the sort Of
girl she really was.
Westcott reached this decision and
the outer Office at the same time, ex-
,l,ocua1 N ooraIaco xx,ord or fuo with
Hmmons, and finally purchased CT
gar and retired to one corner to pc
ruse an old newspaper. 1t was not so
easy to read. however, for the news
failed to interest or keep his mind
rom wandering widely.
Who was this Beaton, and what
connection could be have with Bill
Lacy's gang? The row last night had
revealed a mutual interest between
the men, but what was Its nature?
Lacy's purpose he believed he under
stood to some extent-a claim that Ii
was an extension of the La Rosita
vein which Westcott had tapped in his
recent discovery. But he had no per-
sonal fear Of Lacy; not, at least, If
he could once get the backing Of Cav
endish's money. But these other
peOple-Beaton. Miss Donovan. and
still another expected to arrive soon
from the East-how were they con-
nected with the deal?
He was so deeply engrOssed in these
thoughts that he remained unaware
hat Timmons had left the Office, or
that the Chinese man-of-a ll-work had
silently tiptoed down the stairs and

open doorway to make sure the coast

oriental sided noiselessly across the
floor and paused beside him.

The messenger shook folded paper
out of his sleeve, thrust II into the
others hand hastily, and, with a hur-
ried glance about, started to glide
away as silently as he had come. He
vanished into the dark hall, and there
was the faint clatter of his shoes on
tie stairs.
Westcott, fully aroused, cast his
glance about the deserted room, and

left In his fingers. His eyes took In

table and touched Beaton's sleeve

him under the tree where we had so
