CHAPTER Ix-Continued.

From far away the drone of the call
er sounded in u voice familiar, and
FairchiId looked up to see the narrow
eyed, SCARED face of Squint Rodaine,
who was officiating at the wheel. He
lost interest in the game; lackadais-
lcally he placed the buttons on their
squares as the numbers were shouted
finally to brush them all aside and de-
sert the game. His hatred of the Ro-
DANES had grown to a point where
he could enjoy nothing with which
they We're connected, where he de-
spised everything with which they
had the remotest Misunderstanding
of course, one person. And as he rose,
Fairchild saw that she was just enter
ing the dance hall.
Only moment he hesitated Maui
rice Rodaine, attired in mauve frock
suit and the inevitable accompanying
beaver, had stopped to talk to some
one at the door. She stood alone, look
ing about the hail, laughing and nod
ding-and then she looked at him
Fairchild did no, wait
From the platform at the end of the
squeak, and the caller was shouting
his announcements. Couples began to
line up on the floor. The callers voice
grew louder:

please" Robert Fairchild had
reached her and was holding forth his
hand. She looked up in half surprise,
then demurred.
But don't know these old Dances"
Neither do I-or any other for that
matter" he confessed with sudden
bOldness. But does that make any
difference? Please!"
She glanced quickly toward the
door. Maurice Rodaine was still talk
ing, and Fairchild saw little CLEAN
come into her eyes-the gleam that
shows when woman decides to make
some one pay for rudeness.
Fairchld's hand was still extended
Again Anita Richmond glanced toward
the door chuckled to herself while
Fairchild watched the dimples that the
merriment caused, and then-Fairchild
-'' ro' Ni'N luNl tIidl iIt was wearing
hObnailed shoes -and that his clothes
were worn and old. He was going
forward to take his place on the dance
floor and she was beside him!
Some way, as through haze, he
saw her. Some way he realized that
now and then his hand touched hers,
and that once, as they whrIed about
the room, in obedience to the monarch
on the tiddler's rostrum, his arm was
about her waist, and her head touching
his shoulder. 1t made little difference
whether the dance calls were Obeyed
after that. F'airchild was making up
for all the years he had podded, all
the years in which he had known moth
ing but slow, grubbing life, living
them all again and rightly. in the few
swift moments of dance.
The music ended and laughing they
returned to the side of the hall Out
of the haze he heard words, and knew
fndistinctly that they were his own:
'Will-wili you dance with me again
tonight?"
Selfish" she chided.
But will you?"
For just moment her eyes grew
serious.
''Did you ever realize that we've
never been introduced?"

Young fellow" the sheriff had ap-
preached him now, you'd better be
certain about that. 1t looks to me
that might be pretty good excuse to
give when man can't produce an
alibi. Anyway, the Identification seems
pretty complete. Then he turned to
the crowd. "a want couple of good
men to so along with me as deputies"

had stepped forward.
Certainly. But not as a deputy.
Who wants to volunteer?"
Half dozen men came forward,
and from them the sheriff chose two.
Fairchild turned to say good-by to
Anita. In vain. Already Maurice Ro-
daine had escorted her, apparently
against her will, to far end of the
dance hall, and there was quarreling
with her. Fairchild hurried to join
the sheriff and his two deputies, just
starting out Of the dance hall. Five
minutes later they We're in a motor car,
