that and a sudden keen interest.
After dinner Junior held her
moment.

He looked so young, bewildered
and rather hopeless that she was
profoundly moved. She put a
capable little hand on his arm
and spoke in a. passion of sim
cerity.

pressed it and let it go. 1.-THE well

She unused a great deal on that
hopefully, TREMENDOUSLY, with small
fervent prayers that 1t might be
so.
Aunt Julia and Iris were out
that evening and Mary dined
with Junior and Uncle Sherwood
who had come home early. He
was less genial than usual and
several times his niece caught
his eyes resting upon her in

clerk there and sat at his desk

Actually. however, Mary knew,
he went downtown semi-occasion-
ally and then only to visit the
cashiers window. His davs were
spent in roaming. dancing a lit
tie, drinking more than was good
for him, playing cards for high
stakes.
Iris had told her cousin that
the boys salary barely kept him
in spending money: all of his bills
were paid by his father. And
while Uncle Sherwood assumed
these expenses with no more than
a moderate amount of scorn for
the idler who bore his name, not

500 bills. She had used up all
her French money, and most of
the smaller American money. 1t
seemed thrilling and appropriate
to break the first one on Ameri-.

The telegraph clerk looked at
her suspiciously. Haven't you
anything smaller?" he asked,
though as he took in her wide
blue eyes and the bronze gold
hair that showed under the cheap
hat. his suspicion gave way to
apology.
why, yes, here's my last
small money" and she handed
him all but few dimes and
quarters. AS she turned back to
the door, the taxi driver turned
quickly away. But it did not
occur to her to hide the 800
bill from him. Instead she said:
II suppose I won't have any
trouble getting this changed
somewhere?
I'n see you get it changed"
he said. Want to go to hotel
now?"
Geneyieye considered. OF course,
that was the thing to do. But it
was such a glorious autumn day
and it was such a lark to be
driving aimlessly around, and
such a silly, mad thing to do,
and so exactly what Cousin
Agatha would not have done,
that she decided not. to go to
hotel just yet. TO be sure, she
was hungry. All the same, it
was fun, for a change. not to
pay any attention to meal times.

her mind about driving through

Plaza?n she asked him.
''Oh, no, that's way down town,
he said but there's good one
not far from here
All right"
He went on, turning corners,
Suddenly Genevieye felt q little
uneasy. There weren't so many
people on these uptown streets.
They looked rather shabby, too.
Now he was stopping before a
large red-stone pillared building.
Funny, she could have sworn she
had seen the same place is min.
ntes ago. She remembered It.
She had noticed it because q po-
liceman had been walking by, and
observing that his head had just
reached the window box, it had
occurred. to her that he must be
about the same height as the man
with the gray eyes. But OF
course. it might have been an
other place.
Here you are, lady" the driver
got out and opened the door, took
her suitcase and set it down on
the sidewalk.
She looked at him sharply. His
hat was pulled down over his
eyes. His jaw looked ugly. No.
he certainly didn't look like his
picture.
Aren't you going to carry my
bag into the lobby?" she asked.

He took 1t, and put It into his

forth. 1t contained not change, but
a revolver. Now. no noise, he
said. Nothing 's going to happen TO

At first she was too amazed to
move, too amazed to be frightened.
Then she felt furiously angry.
Swifter than it takes to write 1t,
she thought, 1T would be folly. 1t
would be fatal to scream. But
to let him get away, without
struggle, with the eighteen hum
dred dollars that spelt freedom

The revolver was pointing
straight at her heart.
She screamed.

of course. Anyhow, now she

election ar of 1928 will show in
creasingly better business, it is pre-

This big mid-western bank af-
firms a similar prediction made by

president of the Cleveland bank.
The Cleveland review says that
the first half of 1923 may prove to
be a better business period than
was believed. 1t cites extra cash
dividends by f1fty-seven firms,
amounting to $10S,500,0OO, including
General Motors, big melon of $34,-

Among the factors cited to show
that the second half of the year
will be even better are good agri-
cultural prospects, increased car
loadings, fewer commercial failures
in July than since 1923, and "satis-
factory" employment conditions.
