known TO man. In the first place. you
belong to the most unoriglnal OF all pro-
fesslons, and, in the second, you make
money too slowly"
Make money too slowlyr" gasped
Mr.. Milyuns, forgetting Bobby and
Pamela and their affairs for the first
time In three weeks, and remember

He sank his head in thought for q
moment. When he raised II again,
the widely placed blue eyes were
there. So was the saddle OF faint
freckIes across his nose; so was the
guarantee Of honesty across his open
face, but superimposed over all was
a new look OF sudden resolution.
"You will please tell Miss Thorn.

the room.

"Why, slim. what's got ye? Ye

reached slowly down into his capacious
trousers pocket, his eyes, meanwhile,
studying Mr.. Randolphs physiognomy
with a shrewd CLINT that had fore
stalled many clever attempt at a
touch In years gone by.
"Yes, money" said Mr. Randolph
pensively; "a hundred thousand dol
lars worth"
Tourkes face underwent n startling
change. as though II had tumbled down
n whole ladder of emotions until II
landed with Jolt on a solid platform
