Her lip curled, and though he guessed the tumult in her heart. there was no sign of it on her face.
 Trask accompanied her to the post office, and then, bidding him care less good afternoon, Anita went into large dry goods shop and he made no attempt to follow her.
 He would have been interested, however. had he noted her proceed ings. For she went straight to a telephone booth and called up the Waring house. Ito answered and when she asked to be connected with MT. Lockwood, the butler gave the connection without question.
 "Gordon?" came the soft little voice. This Is Anita"
 And then she told him quickly but fully all that had passed between her and Trask.
 50 you see," she concluded, q do want these two days to think things out, and I mustn't see you alone, for he's sure to know of it."
 All right" Lockwood said, we'll do our courting over the telephone. Let me see, I'll go downtown this evening and telephone you"
 No, that won't do. l can't talk to you in the Adams front hall Here's a better plan. Tomorrow, when Mir. Trask goes out you call me up there, and I'll go out to a pay station and call you up where you are now. And the day after tomor- row the time will be up."
 Yes, and what are you going to do then?"
 q don't know" said the girl, her voice suddenly losing its brightness. I'm going to think 1t out. Good by"
 "oh wait a minute. I'll see you at dinner, shan't I?'
 "Oh, yes; and this evening. I sup pose, but only with the others pres ent."
 And after a few more words Anita left the booth and walked slowly home.
 When Trasls returned to the library he said to Lockwood, Get busy on those old books at once, will you? want the shelves cleared for some of my own books that I've sent for"
 Very we'll" returned the secretary, thinking of the probable difference between the expected books and those they would replace.
 Do you mind, MT. Trask, if take
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-25

few of these old ones myaslf7 I'll pay you whatever price firAt-class dealer sets on them"
 "Oh, take what you want, without pay. I'm in a good humor today, Lockwood, better take advantage of 1t. Help yourself from the shelves"
 Thank you. I'll not impose on your Kindness and generosity"
 Nor did he. but among the few volumes he chose was the crimson stained copy of Martiaps Epigrams.
 Distasteful though 1t was. Look wood looked at the book with feel fnG of reverence and opened the vol ume at the page that had last held the interest of its owners scholarly mind.
 The crimson stain completely ob- scured the print, but Lockwood gazed long at the defaced page.
 T wonder" he said to himself, If crack detective could get anything from this. There's thet Stone. Mercer is always raving over-I suppose he's terribly expensive-yet this strange case might intrigue him-and yet there's Anita to be considered. If it should turn the tide against her"
 Later that afternoon, Trask went out again and Lockwood seized his chance.
 Calling Anita at the Adams house, he said Listen, dear, you needn't say anything but yes or no, and then no one will understand" All right" came the reply. I've just about come to the con- clusion I'll get a clever detective and put him on the case. I mean a real detective-in fact, Fleming Stone"
 "Oh, mol" Anita's voice was one of utter dismay.
 Why not?"
 ri can't tell you this way! You said"
 50 did I. Well, here. I'll ask ques- tions. Don't you want me to do this?"
 No" very emphatically. You'd rather I wouldn't"
 ''Very much rather"
 Because you feel Ill effects to yourself?" Yes"
 You are sure you are not overesti- mating the danger of that?'
 q am sure."
 "Then there's no more to be said. Good-by.
 Lockwood hung up the receiver and turned around to see Trask frowning at him.
 go that's the way you and Miss Austin whip the devil around the stumpw
 That's the way" returned Lock- wood. coolly.
 -is this how she keeps the letter of her promise and breaks 1t in spirit?"
 Leave her out of this. I called her up, she did not call me"
 All the same. Now, gather from
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-25

the interesting talk I overheard that Mss Austin does not wish to have Fleming Etons take up the case"
 You are at liberty to gather any thing you choose"
 See here. Lockwood. you make a me. I'd be a better friend to you than an enemy"
 I've no reason to want you for either" Lockwood was by no means impertinent, he merely spoke indif- ferently. Trask noted this and went on more suavely:
 Now, my dear Lockwood. what l propose to do now Is to employ Elem ing Stone myself"
 Lockwood was astCunded. At first he was glad, for he felt sure Stone could solve the whole mystery. But. then, suppose 1t incriminated Anita. and though Lockwood was sure of her innocence, he was Just enough so to realize that his surety was largely because of his affection fer her Suppose Stone should prove her to be the criminal!
 It couldn't-and yet
 He looked up to find Trask smiling broadly
 You've the reputation of being of an impassive countenance. Lockwood, but tC me your face Is as an open book! However, it's only because you are up agalnst difficult prOb- lem You want Stone to come, yet you're afraid he'll find out that Miss Austin is pretty deep in this murder mystery. But I've made up my mind. and I think youll see that any at tempt on your part to change my decision would look bad for Miss Austin"
 You let her name alone, Trask. or I'll reason with myself"
 Have you any real right to tell me to leave her name alone?"
 Les, 1 have"
 Are you and she engaged?"
 "So far as I am concerned, we are. Miss Austin prefers to wait until later to announce it, but I can an- swer fer her to you in confidence"
 "Oh, it's in confidence, all right. Don't fear I'll breathe the news. For, you see, I've made up my mind to marry Anita Austin myself; and if Fleming Stone proves that she is a murdress, I'll marry her all the what woman doesn't?"
 manner changed. 'If you're going to get Stone anyway, why can't we work with each other and net at odds2 Whatever else we think or feel we both want to save Miss Austin all the trouble or distress we can. Let's be friends, then, and talk things over with Stone, and then"
 "I'm on! Then if we see things are going against her, shut him off!'
 Well, yes, If we can.'

CHAPTER 23 AN AGREEMENT

You say youIl give me a week ?? said Miss Mystery at last, grasping at hope of reprieve.
 Trask looked at her with curiosity
 What goodll that do you? Better put yourself under my protection at once. Every day you lose is that much nearer discovery"
 All right. I'll dare it! They won't wont condemn me, anyhow"
 'Ho, ho! Banking on your sex to really think they'd send a pretty girl like you to the chair, but trial would convict you In the eyes of the world, even if twelve men were too softhearted to SC you electrocuted And there'd be imprisonment-'
 'Oh. hush! MT. Trask have you no pity?"
 my wife. None for any other. And especially none for a girl who scorns me and throws me over for my own secretary. I'm a red-blooded man, I am, and you can't play fast and loose with me and get away with it"
 T don't mean to play fast and loose with you, if by that you mean | changing my mind. But I do ask for q few days to think 1t over. That's not unreasonable, is it?"
 Miss Mystery's little smile was cabling, and Trask couldn't resist It.
 All right" he said. as he looked hungrily at her bewitching lace. take a coupla days, then. But, only on condition that you don't let Lockwood make love to you. Promise me that for 4S hours you won't see that man alone"
 How can I promise that?"
 You'll have to, whether you can or not
 "All right. I promise" He looked at her sterniy. - And you'll keep that promise, or you'll be sorry! haven't much siopinion of your promises. you're not kthe sort to keep faith. But, remem- Der I'm a power. Maurice Traslk fcan do whatever he sets out to do. And If you forget that, you're lighty apt to regret it."
 T gave you a promise" Anita | said looking at him coldly. and l fully intend to keep it. It's not such a very hard one to keep"

Three Georgia School
Girls Win Prizes
By Robt. B. McCord

The prize of $500 offered by the At
lanta Masonic Club to the Georgia
boy or girl suggesting the best new
name for the Georgia Childrens Home
Society and the best reasons whv the
new name should be preferred, has
been won by three girls in rather wide
ly separated communities. All three
girls suggested the same name: THE
Chilorens Aid Society of Georgia" and
gave about equally meritorious reas-
ons why it should be chosen. The COM
m1ttee appointed by the Masonic Glib
to determine the winner of the prize
decided on this name and the three
girls who suggested it.
The three winners of the prize are
Estelle Smith, Alta, Ga, Gladys Kemp
Marietta, Ga. and Dorothy Coleman,
Atlanta, Ga, and the hundred dollars
will be divided equally among the
three.
A great many names were suggested
some of them nearly as good the Chill
dren's Aid Society of Georgia, but not
any that seemed SO simple and yet ex-
pressed SO exactly the work of organ
ization. The work is not supported by
the State treasury, it is not an orphan
age for rearing children within it;
walls, it is not confined to home
finding program, but offers aid of the
appropriate kind in each case of SER
ious need because of death and mis-
fortune.
The name has not yet been officially
changed, however, and possibly may
not be at all, for that is a matter for
the directors of the Georgia Child
ren's Home Society to decide. Thus
far the new name is only a recommen-
| dation from the Atlanta Masonic Club
to the officials of the Georgia Child
rens Home Society In due time il
will be considered but in the mean
time we are all grateful to the boys and
girls of the state who took so much
interest in the matter.
