from you"
Gramont nodded and joined the
stenographer in the outer office, where
he dictated a brief sta tement. 1t did
not occur to him that there might be
danger in this; at the moment, he was
rather off his guard. HI. was thinking
so much about his future assault on
Fell that he quite ignored the posi-
bility of being placed '.on the de-
fensive.
Within five minutes he II ad returned
to Lucie and joachim Fell, who were
discussing the condition of Mrs. Mail

and handed it to Fell, who laid it with
other papers at his elbow.
II suppose we may proceed to busi-

articles of partnership; we can apply
for Incorporation later if we so desire.

The little gray man smiled.
Judgment is poor horse to ride.
Here's everything in black and white.
I suggest that you both glance over

Gramont and Lucie read over the
partnership agreement, and found it
perfectly correct.

and brooding. As for Lucie, she was
in mourning. The murder Of Joseph
Maillard, the arrest and undoubted
guilt of Bob Maillard, dwarfed all else
in her mind. Even the news of the oil
seepage, and the fact that she was
probably now on the road to wealth,
appeared to make little impression
upon her.
"Thank heaven" she said, earnestly,
as they drove toward Canal street.

reading her thought. Il can realize my
own folly now. If this affair were to
be laid at my door, some kind OF a
case might be made up against me,

fortunately, I was out of it in time.

They say Bob is TERRIBLY broken up.
He sent for his moth er, and she re-

else might have acted as the Masquer

Gramont shook his head

He was thinking Of joachim Fell, and
the girls closeness to Fell. Had he
not known that Fell was responsible
for Hammond's being in Jail. he might
have felt differently. AS it was. he

Melon Eaters" One
Of Living Pictures

One of the best of the living
pictures to be shown in exhibit
planned for Saturday night, May
27, as one of the events Of the
Willamette Valley May Festival
will be Murillo's Melon Eaters. "
Murillo lived from 1918 to 1882,
was born in Seville and belongs to
the Spanish school of Andalusia.
Not always is an artist really
appreciated by the people of his
own day, fame usually comes af-
ter the death of the artist or SO
late in life that the appreciation
is of little value. But Bartolomi
Estaban Murillo was one of the
great exceptions. The people of
his time loved his work because
they could enter into it and un-
derstand it. At the age of IL he
was apprenticed to his uncle, who
was painted. AS he grew older
he managed to live by painting
little pictures of sacred subjects
on linen and selling them at the
market place while sitting among
the stalls he had an opportunity
to study and sketch the city urch-
ms and beggar boys as they frol-
licked in the sun. The pictures
painted from these sketches are
among his best works and they
are true to life and original in
their execution.
