center.
Isadore linn, owner of the studios,
opened the door far enough to per-
NIT the introduction of his head and
nothing more of his person. For a
moment or two he held this posture
playfuliy, looking fro none to an
other of the unhappy four with a
leer at once inquisitiye, knowing
and hideous. Then he thrust the
door wide open, came in, and shut
il behind him.
Hello, people," he saluted affably.
How you making out?"
Its an impasse," Lontaine stated.
Were all in blind alley, you
know"
''Bet your life I know you are, -
linn agreed vigorously
Il was thinking maybe could get

had the flying thought that her
voice had never vibrated so sweetly
-"and you won't find them, either,
Harry. They're in a safe place, it's

What! Lontaine advanced one
single, sudden stride. Whats that

Il thought it might save trouble.
You see, Harry. / haven't forgotten
that hideous scene we had in Lon

"How much have you got into

Lontaine said stupidity, "Eh?
What's that?"
How much have you Dor
rowed, Harry?"
Fifty thou-perhaps few more"
Following another little silence.
Fanny gave a curt laugh, left her
chair, and, standing at the dressing
table, began slowly to strip off her
Jewels. her sunburst brooch, her
flexible bracelets, the pearls that had
been her mothers, all her rings,
even that slender hoop of platinum
and diamonds which she had never
removed since the day of her mar
riage.
"stocks?" she inquired quietly.
Lontaine replied with a dour nod
and grunt. S.
She crossed to him and paused,
looking down not unkindly at his
bowed head and shoulders

staring in daze at the treasure in
the hands that instinctively reached
out to Fanny, offering TO give back
her gift. But she ste. ped away and
stood with hands behind her, shak-

glistening short locks stood out like
brazen nimbus. But you, Fanny

Harry Lontaine got home at late
hour for one who had it in mind to
battle, dress and put in appearance
for an 8 o'clock dinner several miles
away.
Before the door which gave upon
the private quarters of the house,
however, he hung for some time in
seeming reluctance to proceed.
Eventually he pushed the door
open.

Realistically, you know, this
is ridiculous way to expect Nelly
to carry on when she hears what
she hears. She isn't in love with
Richards, she isn't even in love with
Dick; and surely was now

anxiety to justify herself to Nolan's
face Of thunderhead-"s surely she
oughtn't to go all to pieces just be-
cause she hears Richards confess,
what she's known all along, that he's
the sort of man he is.

she's trapped in the seullery and her
fathers breaking in to murder her.

Sure | see." Nolan spoke with
an unwonted evenness of tone, for
him; but the tone was ugly. Il see

In an abrupt break of fury, oddly
out of keeping with the level tone he
had used, Nolan raised the mega
phone above his head and with all
his might cast it upon the floor at

nounced quietly, and walked off,
leaving Lucinda in a temper curious
