The Love Game, a Mev Van de Water Serial

; parent this afternoon, but she
wished vaguely that he had
wanted her to return with him.
He was so much more casual
than most of the fathers who
had come to the school for the
graduation exercises of their
children. He had never been
demonstrative, and had been less
so since the death of his wife,
four years ago.
Perhaps Harrison Scott saw
the slight shadow pass over the
young face.
"Of course, shall be glad to
have you back with me once
more" he added. "I only hope
you will not find 1t dull in town
after all the young society you
have had out here"
He sighed as he spoke, and
the daughter regarded him more
narrowly than she had done until
this moment. He was unnatur-
ally pale, she observed. Impul-
siveIy she turned to look for
Donald Muir, the friend who had
accompanied her father this
afternoon. He was entering the
room and came forward at this
instant.
your car is ready, Mr.. Scott"
he announced. Then to Wini-
fred: Il suggested your fathers
starting soon-instead of waiting
until he gets over-tired."
Harrison Scott turned away to
make his adieu to the principal
of the school, and Winifred
spoke hastily to Muir:
Father is not well, is he?"
she demanded anxiously. II did
not notice until now how pale he
is. What's the NATTER"
The man she addressed smiled
kindly.
Don't look SO worried, my
DEAR he advised. your father
have not gone as well as usual
is bit tired-that is all, hope.
To be frank, his business affairs
for the past few months, and he
has been working too hard and
taking too little recreation. / am
sure he will be better when you
are at home and he has other in
tqrests than those at the office.

"A Serial Replete With Romance, Adyen-
ture in the Worlds Capitals, and
Stirring Situations

= He suddenly turned, crossed tho
studio, and stepped quietly out
to the entrance door, making
sure that it was locked. Then he
returned to the studio, took off
his coat, and went to the large
workable in the center Of the
room.
There he took a huge sheet
Of draughting paper. twisting it
about into the shape OF a cone.
He secured 1t in this shape with
liquid glue from the smaller table,
I fashio1ling it with flap lip at
the larger end. This lip he in
turn glued to the safe-front, over
the tumbler, to the left Of the
combination dial, holding 1t there
until the glue hardened. Tho
pointed apex OF the cone he care
fully cut away with a pair OF
scissors. leaving it standing out
from the safe-front like q huge
speaking trumpet.
When he kne1t before the
safe again, however. it was
his ear and not his mouth
which he pressed closely
against the open apex OF the
draughting paper trumpet. Ills
ear. even without the aid OF this
roughly improvised microphone.
was one Of the most sensitive Of
organs. But now, through even
that thick wall of steel, he could
hear the soft click OF the tumblers
and the noise of the dial as he
4 worked the combination. He
knew the possible permutations.
and he tried them. one after the
other. listening always for the
deeper sound when q Iock.tumbler
had engaged.
It was expert work, and it
called into play both the patience
and the delicacy Of touch o. an
