Billy's landlady, | tried to explain our
American brand of democracy, but

very dull without Billy. He has been

Webster laughed. well, be pa

bach to you with considerable more
money than he will require for your
joint comfort. Billy in financial dis
tress is a joy forever. but Billy in a
top hat and frock coat on the sunny
side of Easy street will be absolutely
irresistible"
Hes a darling. Ever since my ar
rival he has dedicated his life to keep
ing me amused" She rose despite
your wckedness, Mr.. Webster, | am

But you'n return before 1--WE

himself plead.
You do not deserve such considera-
ton. but ri come back in about
twenty minutes" she answered and
left him
AS Webster viewed the situation, his
decision to see as little as possible of
Dolores during his brief stay in
Sobrante was wise one. The less he
saw of her Che told himself), the bet
ter for his peace Of mind, for he was
forty years old, and he had never
loved before. For him this fever that
burned in his blood, this delicious
agony that thrObbed in his heart-and
all on the very ghost of provoca ton
were so many danger-signals, heralds
OF that grand passion which, coming
to man of forty, generally lasts him
the remainder of his natural exis-
tence.
Webster was forced to admit he was
afraid of himself His was the rapidly
disappearing code of the old unfetter-
ed West. that a man shall never be-
tray his friend in thought, word, or
deed. To John Stuart Webster any
crime against friendship was the most
heinous in all the calendar Of human
frailty; even to dream Of slipping into
Billys shoes now would be monstrous
yet Webster knew he could not afford
test of strength between his ancient
friendship for Billy and the masculine
desire for a perfect mate. Remained
then but one course:
81 must run like a road-runner,'
was the way Webster expressed it.

He turned guiltily and found her lean
