 MT. Ducane had given him certain instructions, but good deal had. of necessity, been left to his own dis cretion.
 You'll need diplomacy, my boy. But 1 can rely on you to do your best. Get the pearls out of pawn. Don't let the shopman know there's been the least mystery about the matter. It would be great yarn for the papers. particularly if they got hold of the fact that Natalie was my niece. The pawn broker might try blackmail. too.
 We must avert scandal what ever happens That headstrong, fool ish little girl, She meant no harm. of course. She never guessed that we might have endless trouble with the insurance people"
 After you've got the necklace, go straight to them and say that it's been found. I've made out check for s5.o00. in their name, which please deliver. Don't go into expla- nations. Say you're merely acting on my instructions"
 Danby felt dazed. Natalie had seemed to him the ideal girl. the very soul of honor.
 Now, Galts astounding accusa- tions seemed to have some truth in them. He had flung them back in the mans teeth, and fought him with his fists, defending Natalie. and call ing Galt liar.
 And yet 1t was he-Danby-who had been deceived.
 Mir Ducane was speaking again, in a low, worried tone.
 The car is at the door. and your suitcase inside. You'll just have time to get that train. I-er-I believe Mrs. Desmond is on board. I should avoid her, were l you."
 T will. sir"
 And when you go to those pawn people, whatever you do. don't pay them by check. Give them bills. I haven't time to go into the rate of interest on this ticket. but my foolish little girl evidently raised $500 on the necklace and you'll have to pay about s575 to redeem 1t. Don't hag- gle over few extra dollars. Re- deem the pearls as soon as possible. and clear out with them. Under stand?'
 Perfectly. sir Is there anything else?'
 If in doubt. telegraph me. Tele- phoning takes too long. Besides. I don't hear well. and the line isn't too good from here to New York"
 Very well, sir Maurice made a move to go.
 And, Danby, you'll regard the whole thing as confidential? But ] needn't ask. I have your word. You'll return the moment that the business is finished. won't you? I shall be on tenterhooks till you get back"
 He made the necessary promise. and soon was speeding towards the. rail- way station

To Serve as War
Heroes Memorial

The different schools throughout
the country haye recently erected
memorials to those boys who fought
and fell in the great war. At the
meeting Of the Central High School
Alumni Association, held q short
time ago. plans were discussed for
Central's memorial A clock and
books were mentioned for this pur-
pose. but the painting of the series
of the Holy Grail was decided upon
as being the most appropriate me-
mortal
The drawings. which are now In
Mr.. Maurer's office, are copies Of
the famous series Of paintings by
Abbey, which are in the reading
room OF the Boston Library.
Emory Wilson, late principal, was
very anxious that the paintings be
put in the school, but on account
Of the lack of funds this has here
tofore always been impossible. IN
der the direction Of Mr.. Rathbun.
the teacher of architecture, Jerry
Radley, of 1920. started the draw
ings. They were completed by
Whitmore Harr Of last years grad
u0tlng class. when Mr.. Wilson
returned to school after his long
illness, he saw the black and white
drawings. He was very favorably
impressed with them. and II was
his great desire that they be car
ried out in the building some day.
Mr.. Hodgkins, president Of the
Alumni Association. chose the paint
ings for q memorial. The pictures
alone will cost twelve hundred dol
lars. 1t is the plan that there be
two panels of printing in the school
library. ono q tribute to those who
fought. the other bearing the
names Of those who fell in battle.
The boys Of the mechanical draw
ing department are working day
after day on the enlargement OF
tho drawings. These will be post
Cd on the wall and the finished
product will give the effect of be-
ing set in the woodwork. The
boys are doing this enlargins rs
regular class work. and at the
same time rendering a wonderful
service to the school. This work
is really carrying out OF Mr.. Will
sons dream and will be q great
addition to the school as well as
a memorial to it's heroes.

valuable than athletic prowess.
They should never forget that the
