For Better and Wores

Continued From Page Eleven
And, by the letters, both were young enough
to try again at the eternal lottery.
You have guessed the story? Perhaps
1t is soon told.
Yes, they met. That was inevitable. John
Henry chose the spot. 1t was at the Harlem
end of the park; the least frequented and,
in the lure of budding spring, the most de-
lightful. There is an entrance from Central
park west, the last, which takes you into
the heart well, you know it, and if
you don't, you should. 1t leads you to an
Arcadian oasis in the metropolitan desert.
John Henry was there first. He was too
impatient to be polite. She wasn't; she
came 10 minutes late. Janet? You aren't
alone; perhaps John Henry, too, in his heart
Of hearts, had somehow expected Janet. But
it wasn't!
Wheeler, his heart beating million miles
a minute, bowed formally to cover his emo
ton and tried, in as few words as possible,
to identify himself.
The lady removed her veil Wheeler took
one searching look at the young and comely
woman before him, and, though man, al
most swooned away. He looked again and
rubbing his eyes and pinching himself, a
third time.
There could be no mistake. It was
Paulette who stood before him, eyes de-
murely lowered, mouth provokingly smil-
ing; Janet's former maid-of- all-work,
Paulette Giraudet, the same little mink
whom a year ago Janet had accused John
Henry of kissing, an accusation which the
absent-minded Wheeler had denied as such;
yes, the same little Partisan baggage that
John Henry had kissed on the darkened
stairway that evening having abstractedly
mistaken her for his wife.
"You" he fairly squeaked.
"Mais oui, Monsieur Wheeler, eet ees me,
sure Nike" she lisped. "But I forgeets.
Here ees your lettaire, sill vous plat. Read
Get at once, Madame she say"
1t is good thing she told Wheeler what
to do with it. He held the letter like it was
a bomb. He opened it now and read it with
trembling hands. It ran:
Dear John Henry: No one shall read this
but you, old pal. have sent Paulette So
there shall BE no mistake. Also, dear boy.

and Pew that wanted to see them in order
to go over the evidence against Owens and
Williams, had them come to the office.
They were not a pair to take any chances
on, and when they came in four of my best
men were stationed in the room. On some
trifling excuse they were induced to go to
window to look out, and the first intima-

astray was when they felt the muzzes of
two automatics pressed into the small of

since we did not as yet know the motive for
the murder, wanted that confession. Yet

confession for his life and not having the
power to promise him anything I would not
see him myself, but instead sent sergeant

would tell him what he had on his mind, he,
the sergeant, would do what he could for

said Pew. "On the night. that Hand was
killed he told Hodges that he knew plenty
about the grating. He was going to the
colonel the next morning and tell him all
about it. Hodges asked Hand and myself
to take walk up on the ridge so they
could talk it over. During this walk,
Hodges, knowing that Hands word was as
good as his bond, tried to get Hand to pro-
mise not to squeal. Hodges promised if he
would ont squeal he would stop the graft

lowing very interesting report of its

the trucks, gathered the rubbish,
cleaned up the alleys and accepted
whatever remuneration was offered,
Through the efforts Of the com
mittee, public dumping ground has

town as a permanent convenience.
This dump is located at the end of
Eighth street near the railroad and
belongs to the Webers, who were glad
10 have it used by the town."
