The two men sat silently looking at

Peter asked, "Then you thought

Lanfrew chewed upon an imaginary
mouthful he said finally: God knows.

Peter nodded.
"You saw the last of him."
Lanfrew looked out the window at
the harbor that appeared to stretch
out like woolly gray blanket from
the bases Of monument buildings; he
wheeled suddenly upon DeWolfe.
HE came here that day-the last.
He had tickets for some place and
spoke of taking his wife, but he was
excited He spoke of an alternative.
He drank. You know that?'

He saw the lawyer finch.

The other man coughed. felt under

Lanfrew said, Eyes. He said to me-

Example OF the Bee

1t is very important to remember.
says John Burroughs, the great natu-
ralist, that the bee does not get honey
from the flowers; 1t makes honey from
what it gets from the flowers. What
1t gets from the flowers Is nothing but
sweetened water. The bee gets it's
sweet water. retires, thinks 1t over and
by private process makes its honey.
So many nature writer's fail to profit
by the example of the bee. They go
into the woods and come out again and
write about their experience-but they
don't give us honey. They don't retire
and subject what they find In the
woods TO private process. They give
us just little sweet water, pretty
thoroughly diluted l have tried for
many years not to give the world just
bare record, but to flavor 1t with my

CHAPTER XIV

BY afternoon on Friday Peter had
acquired certain information that he
had sought.
In addition to acquiring the infot.
nation that would lead him to three
men, he had wrestled with the prob
lem presented by Brena's cable. He
had sent her word when he had arrived
safely in New York that he was full of
hope and optimism. "We shall win,"
he had said. because any other
thought is TOO terrible to bear" He
could not understand then what new
facts she had to justify her strange
message to him unless it were an
anonymous warning such as that which
he had received in Liverpool. To &C.
cede to her request and to proceed no
further along the lines of Inquiry
which he had chosen as significant
would mean delay and perhaps loss
of the thin threads that he had picked
up to unravel.
Peter had in him a great deal of the
fiber of determination. good deal of
a single-track purpose that frowned
upon him and made him vince when
he became tempted to postpone his
plans and indulge his desire In wait
ing idly for her to come. He knew
from The beginning that this man was
the side of self that would win; he
was only doing that which he knew
in his inner consciousness he would do
when he cabled a reply to her that
said, do not come yet. l will cable
you again. If you have important
news do not be afraid to send it."
He was glad when that was done.
There was an additional reason for 1t;
he was not yet prepared to meet Brena
Selcoss for the second time. He must
first clear the way for relationship
that had in it no reservations.
The first thing to be done was to
confer with one Joseph Smallwood of
brennan & Co., the publishers.
When Peter first saw Smallwood he
felt a little like one who has been sent
to an armless dentist. The man was
pale and flavorless like the cream
sauce of cheap restaurants. DeWolfe
had difficulty in believing that this
was the man to whom he had been re-
ferred.
"Mr. DeWolfe, how can I serve your"
he said in q low drawl as If he were
pulling his words like molasses candy
into long strips to match his own long
body.
81 understand that you not only
maintain a connection with brennan
but undertake commissions and pass
upon technical questions independ-

Smallwood's smile was Of the kind
that snaps on and off like an electric

June Stars.

June. the month of brides, is the
one in which to look for the Big
Dipper high in the western sky, with
the end of the handle nearly due
north
Whether the dipper has any signi-
ficance. appearing as it does in
June. the accepted time for romance
and marriage, is not known. but it
must be acknowledged that a dipper
might be considered in the light Of
household equipment
However. the star gazers tell us
that dipper as used in this connec-
tion is not related in any sense with
the well know kitchen implement,
but that it gets its name from the
fact that it is shaped like a dipper.
