Despite herself, Clancy sighed
with relief. Spofford was really
the. only man she had to fear.
Aud If he believed in her inno-

"Well, it's this way. Miss
Deane: When you come into
Mr.. Vandervent's office and
tainted away after announcin'
yourself as Florine Ladue,
couldn't quite swallow what you
said about playin' a joke. You
don't look like tine sort of 1ady
that would play that kind of a
joke. Anyway; I have a bunch.
and / play it. I get this elevator

How did you know where 1
lived?" demanded Clancy.
.Spofford grinned.
Same way I found out that
you were down here today, Miss
Deane. had a guy follow you.
You cant blame me, now, can

Clancy hid a grin at her own
magnanimous wave of her hand.

Building on Tuesday afternoon.

then, Judge Walbrough butts In.
Well, I begin to figure that I'm
goin' a trifle, fast. Judge Wal.
brough amt the sort of man to
monkey. with the law. And no.
body amt goin' to fool him,
either. So, if walbrough strings
along with you, maybe I'm
sucker to think you got anything
to do with this Beiner affair.
And when the guy have
watching the house tells me that
you've gone up to Walbrough's,
and when I learn that Mr.. Van
dervent is down at Walbrough's
house-well, do some more
figurin'. There's lots of influence
in this town; but a pull that will
make a man like Walbrough and
a man like Vandervent hide a
nurderess-there amt that pull
here. Course, I figure that Wal.
brough is sendin' for Vanderyent
to help you out, not to pinch
you.
Anyway, what I'm guessin is
that maybe I'd better examine

<<@LEASE tell Mrs. Winston
I'll be down in five min
utes, = said to Bertha, in
reply to her staggering announce
ment that Betty Winston was
downstairs waiting for me.
.No-wait, please. Won't you
have her brought up to your bou-
doir?" begged Carlotta.
Without discussion, / nodded to
Bertha to do as Carlotta had said.
Then, as the maid disappeared, /
asked breathlessly:
That's because you don't want
to risk Tony,s seeing herr"
No, not seeting her, but seeing
her all forlorn," amended Carlotta.
Run across and stay just as you
are, in negligee, with your hair
down., and then she'll realize that
you have an engagement. You
mustn't let her spoil your evening
Betty wouldn't spoil my eve
ming" l said steadily. II hope
your own will be happy, dear.
Good night"
Then slipped out and managed
to arrive at my own door in time
to welcome Betty when Bertha
ushered her up a minute later.
Betty, dear!'' cried, both hands
out to take her and pity yelling
up in my heart at sight Of the
gauntness that had come to take
the place of Betty's swayi1ig,
Oriental charm.
"Anee! I'm so glad you were at
home. You had to be here. You
helped me take my happiness with
Terry. Now you have to help me
learn how to bear-my unhappi-
ness without him. said Betty, as
simply as a child
As she spoke, Betty lifted one
hand and fumbled with the fast
enings which held her pathetic
black crepe bonnet, with its
sweeping veil. Without a word
went oversto her side and lifted
off the weight of dull black.
Then 1 ran my hands across her
black hair-o11ce so smooth and
perfectly undulated, now dull and
streaked with gray. Betty sank
lower in the chair, and with a
sigh submitted to- my ministra-
tions.
I asked no question, though
there were plenty surging through
my mind. L stood smoothing her
hair, and now and then I laid my
hand briefly on her dry and burn
ing forehead. At last she caught
my hand in hers and cried
huskily.
81 must talk-I want to talk.
For all these terrible days I've
been dumb. I couldn't say any
thing. Now 1 have to talk it all
out-or go mad"
"Of course you want to talk"

certainly. And now his lips,
which had oeen sulien.. Clancy
thought, shaped themselves into "a
smile that was deprecatory, apollo
getic.
81 hope I amt disturbin' you,
Miss Deane," he said.
Clancy stared at him. She had
never felt so. completely in COM
mand of a situation.
THAT depends" she said CURLY.
IF you are to annoy me
Spofford's grin was extremely
conciliating.
"Aw. don't hit man when
he's down. Miss Deane. Every
one has to be a sucker once in a
while. 1t amt every guy that's
willin' to admit it, apologize, and
ask for a new deal. Now, if ]
go that far, don't you think you
ought to come a little way and
meet me?'
Clancy's eyes widened.
Suppose" she said, I'VE sit
down."
Thank you. Miss Deane ." Spot
ford's tone was as properly hum
bic as Clancy could possibly III
wished. a nice little friendly
talk, me tryin' to show you I'm
a regular guy, and you. maybe,
bein' a little helpful. That's it
helpful.
He followed her as she
led the way into the draw
ing-room and he seated himself
carefully upon the edge of
chair whose slim legs justified his
caution.
Clancy sat down opposite him.
She leaned the poker against the
wall. Spofford laughed:
I'll just bet you'd "a beaned
me one with that as soon as not,
eh. Miss Deane?"
Clancy suddenly grew cautious.
Perhaps this was an attempt to
make her admit that she would
not shrink from violence. De- :
tectives were uncanny creatures.
II should hate to do anything
like that" she said.
Spofford guffawed heartily.
I'D sure hate to have you,
Miss Deane. But you don't need
to be afraid of me-"
I'm not" said Clancy.
Spofford's nod was the acme
of appreciation of remark that
held not particular humor, SO far
as Clancy could see. He slipped
a trifle further back in the chair.
He crossed his legs, assisting one
fat knee with his hands. He
leaned back. From his upper
waistcoat pocket he took a cigar.
You wouldn't mind, would
you, Miss Deane? l can talk
easier"
The downward and inward jerk
of Clancy's chin gave him con-
sent. From his lower waistcoat
pocket, attached to the same
heavy chain that Clancy assumed
his watch. Spofford produced q
cigar-clipper. Deliberately he
clipped the end from the cigar,
lighted it, tilted it upward from
one corner of his mouth, and
leaned toward Clancy.

Death of Mrs. Mary f.. McBee

Mary E. McBee was born Nov. 81,
1852, and died June %, 1928, hav-
ing reached an age of 70 years, seven
months and two days. She was the
daughter of the late Joseph and
Frances Taylor Aber, and was born
near Center Bend, O., moving with
her parents when young girl to the
family home on the GAINESVILLE road,
north of McConnelsville. She was
the fourth child in a family Of nine
| four Of whom, John, Martha, Joseph
and Andrew Jackson, are deceased.
She was married to John w. Nc
Bee on Jan. 8, 1878, and spent all Of
her married life in Malta, where she
proved her true worth as a neighbor
and friend. Two daughters were
born of this union, Kate Lucille, who
died in infancy. and Ruth, the wife
Of Herbert G. Fouts, who resides at
the family home. Two grandchil-
dren, John McBee and Mary Cath
crime Fouts, also survive. The fol-
lowing brothers and sisters are left
to mourn the loss of this sister:
Miss Kate Aber of the old family
home, Mrs. w. J. Best and J. w.
Aber of McConnelsville, O., and
Thomas Aber of Malta.
More than IL years ago, Mr.. Nc
Bee met sudden accidental death,
and Mrs. McBee deeply mourned bis
passing In their home life they had
been very happy and congenial. and
to her the home life had been every
thing. Mrs. McBee was a member
of the Malta M. e. church, and was
a charter member of Valley Chapter
No. 10, order of Eastern Star. Per-
haps her most outstanding trait of
character was her love Of home and
devotion to home folks. She lived
the quiet life of service and sacrifice
