 l burst into sudden laughter, I knew was risking grave offense to Carl But there was something in his | fusssy air which made me think of a hen with it's newly matched brood of duckEngs.
 You funny old dear!" I cried, in the first absolutely natural note I'd l been able to strike since our ugly bit of meLodrama on the eve of my leav- ing Haidanes.

 night. Not that I intend burfng the candle at many ends and for so long time. But it won't be fear of
 the periIs of a big city which keeps me from doing it. Now that's settled shall we sit down for a cosy little visit my maiden aunt and I?" Carl stared at me for a. moment with a queer mixture of expressions chasing across his face. Then he burst out laughing in a relieved fash ion, and said, in his old, normal, easy going voice:
 You're stubborn kid, Barbara Anne. Well. never say I didn't warn you in case the wolves come sweeping down on your fold some day. And now let this lamb make himself use ful by looking over your books or your copy Or whatever it is you think would be better for a little of maid enly aunt form of attention" Promptly and with genuine appre- citation of this chance to get his ad- vice, I sat down at my desk, motioned | Carl to an adjacent chair and showed him my rough sketch for the Derring- forth campaign's opening shot.

 Sure. Why the astonishment? But, Carl, I couldn't. I'm repre- 1 senting the advertiser. He pays me a commission.

CHAPTER 62S

1 ozo
 Copyright, 1920, King Features Syn dicate, Inc.
 At the end of a week in my office l I began to feel as if I'd been an "Ad- vertising Consultant'' all my life. Miss May and I got on very well together, and she managed to acuire an office l boy who didn't demand a salary which would once have done for the president of a corporation.
 I was already so well acquainted | with the Hoad1ey hats account that it | seemed to run along of itself on sheer momentum. But the Derriugforth Shoes and the Yelda Importing Co. were just starting out to do national advertising, in both cases there | was a lot of underbrush to clear away before I could. determine on the cor rect policy for them- had to study not only the figures in magazine cir culation, but also the class of read CTS to which each of the publica- tions I was considering would be like ly to appeal a.
 Before many days I realized that I'd made a good deal of outlay with no income. Still, I didn't take the matter very seriously, for we would seen place the copy which I was help ing the advertising men of each firm whip into shape. And up to the time commissions began to roll in. count
 ed on stretching my. credit bit at the
 bank where I deposited the goodly
 rent checks from my apartment.
 On the first Saturday half holi-
 day, when the rest of the staff had
 deserted the new office, I was sitting
 alone, working over an idea I'd sud
 denly thought out for the Derring-
 forth people, when the door opened
 and in walked Carl Booth. There
 was something almost hang-dog in
 his air. It might have been amusing
 if it had not been pathetic.
 'Intruding?' he asked. "I thought
 in case you didn't shut up shop at
 noon, there might be a chance that you'd be able to use the gift of my Saturday half-holiday. Wish there were something I could do to help" 'Your interest helps," I said rising cordially to greet him. And it's proud I'll be to show you over the place. "
 You won't be alone like this often, will you It's dreary. said Carl, add ing his last words in 8, queed tone of
 explaining something I hadn't asked to have made clear.
 -''Drearyi'' I protested. els that the
 way you compliment my clean little,
 trim little new off1ce?'
 Its a fine little place all right '' replied Carl heartily, and then with
 shade of anxiety in his tone, he went on. stepping lightly with the self-conscious air which I was sorry he couldn't shake off, "But I don't like the idea of your being alone in an empty office like this. Anyone can walk up just as I did"
 Well, why shouldn't they?" I ask ed indulgently. "I haven't any val uables here to reward hold-up men even if a shabby little building were likely to attract any of the fraternity. And my secretary and office boy 1 wouldn't be much protection if Jesse James did break in"
 "It isn't that" protested Carl un- l easily. "As your oldest friend. I'm l saying what I think your husband would be inclined to feel if we can

some one moved within: and the voices came from there too, and low toned to begin with, were naturally muffled into whispers by the time they reached her.
 She had only, then, to step the five Or six feet across the narrow hall in order to reach Nicky viner's door. and unless by some unfortunate chance whoever was in that room happened to come out into the hall at the same moment. she would Y es. it was all right! She was try ing Nicky Viner's door now. It was
 unlocked, and as she opened it for
 the space of a crack, there showed
 a tiny chink of light, so faint and
 meager that it seemed to shrink tim orously back again as though put to rout by the massed blackneSS-but if was enough to evidence the fact that Nic(1y Viner was at home It was all simple enough now. Old Viner would und oubtedly make some exclamation at her sudden and stealthy entrance. but once she was inside without those in the next room either having heard
 or seen her, it would not matter.
 Another inch she pushed the door open, another-and then another.
 And then quickly. silently. she tiptoed
 over the threshold and closed the
 door softly behind her. The light
 came from the inner room and sfone
 through the connecting door. which
 was open, and there was movement
 from within, and a low, growing voice, petulant, whining. as though an
 old man were numbIing complain ingly to himself. She smiled coldly
 It was very like Nicky Viner-it was a habit of his to talk to himself
 she remembered. And, also, she had never heard Nicky viner do any thing else but grumble and complain
 But she could not see fully into the other room, only into a corner of it, for the two doors were located diagonally across from one another
 and Her hand, in a startled way
 went suddenly to her lips. as though mechanically to help choke back and shfle the almost overepowering inn pulse to cry out that arose within her. Nicky Viner was not alone in there! A figure had come into her line of vision in that other room, not Nicky Viner, not any of the gang amazement, scarcely able to believe her eyes. And then, suddenly cool and self-possessed again, relieved in curious way because the element
 of personal danger, was as a conse-
 quence eliminated, she began to un- derstand why she had been forestall-
 ed in her efforts at Perlmer's office when she had been so sure that she would be first upon the scene Ii was not Danglar, or the Cricket, or Skeeny, or any of the band who had
 forestalled her-it was the Adven-
 turer. That was the Adventurer standing in there now, side face to
 her, in Nicky Viner's inner room!

She could see quite clearly now-that Is, there was nothing now to obstruct her view. but the light was miserable and poor and the single gas-jet that wheezed and flickered did little more than disperse the shadows from its imme- diate neighborhood in that inner room. But she could see enough she could see the bent and iIl-clsd figure of Nicky Viner, as she remem- bered him. an old. gray-bearded man, wiring his hands in groveling misery, while the mumbling voice, now whin- Ing and pleading, now servile, now plucking up courage to indulge in abuse, kept on without even, 1t seem. ed. pause for breath. And she could see the -Adventurer, quite un- moved. quite debonair, a curtouslv patient smile on his face, standing there, much nearer to her, his right hand in the side pocket of his coat a somewhat significant habit of his. his left hand holding a sheaf of folded. legal-looking documents

 Rhoda Gray felt the blood flush hotly to her cheeks Somehow she could feel no sympathy for that crinE- ing figure in there; but she felt hot resentment toward that dapper. immediately dressed and self-posses sed young man, who stood there, si- lently now, tapping the papers with provoking coolness- against the edge of the plain deal table in front of him. And somehow the resentment seemed to take a most peculiar phase She resented the fact that she should feel resentment. no matter what the man did or said. It was as though. instead of anger. tmpersonal anger. at this low, miserable act of his, she felt ashamed of him. Her hand clenched dercely as she crouched there against the wall It wasn't true!
