The young mans mouth opened in
amaZement. He had been printing
himself to be clever Investigator. and
to pick yawning flaws In billiards un-

stolen before he had had chance to
stake the aegis OF his cleverness.
"Why-it isn't a gamble, Is it,

IT'S safer to figure 1t as a gamble.
Waring. It's safe to figure all these
things that way. OF course. we think
it's wonderful prospect, and prac-

"Is any speculation You see I'm
not working very hard to take your

The boy scowled.
II suppose it's really too small for
you to bother with. Is that what you're
driving at?"
Hllliard smiled cordially.

didn't know. I'd rather not touch 1t. 1t

From the marbled dignity of the
Trust and Deposit company. where he
had bought New York draft for fif-
teen thousand dollars, and smaller
ones for ten and seven, HillIard
emerged presently to South Warren
street. and stood there on the sidewalk

galvanzing consciousness of success.

for his behavior, he had made his
sales on the basis Of character which
hadn't been questioned since the day
OF his arrival. His mind and his
muscles demanded action; to relieve
the pressure Of his spirits, he set of
vigorously. swinging exultant.
On impulse. he crossed the street
for the purpose OF patronizlng nor
lists, where. ignoring the conventional
measure Of the even dozen, he ordered
prodigal armful Of American Beau

feeling very rich and independent. he
rounded the righthand corner, and got
himself greeted by two citizens or

Hard would And this Indication or
HIS new-won status fired him afresh.
Logically enough. his swirling
thoughts followed well-worn trail
which led him straight to Carol; and
for the thousandth time he tried to
set future date, depending on the
outcome OF his mission here. at which
he could confess. and ask forgiveness
for his mummery, and simultaneously
ask credit for his regeneration.
At this juncture. he was aware that
some one had arrested him. 1t was

WHALE MILK IS
 REAL DELICACY

LOS ANGELES, Cal (P Five dollars a quart-not a cent less would be the price he would ask for whales milk if he established a whale dairy, according to Captain John B. Loop. a sea mammal expert of Long Beach, near here, who re- gently returned from whale hunt in Mexican Pacific waters.
 Captain Loop has not determined however, to establish a whale dairy; he merely made that announcement because Arthur de Ell of 607 North 18th street. Omaha, Neb., who had heard of the seaman's knowledge of whales and a small cargo of the lacteal fluid of leviathans that he recently prot to Southern California sent a request "reserving" a sample of the milk.
 Captain Loop said he would send a sample to de Ell.
 He permitted members of the B. P. To- Elks to sample the whale milk he took to Long Beach. They de clared it richer and more palatablc than that of cows.
 The captain, who has contributed much interesting information to the general knowledge of whales, says the first thing to do in order to ob- tain the milk of one is to catch the whale. He has not made public how he does it.
