LOVE FOR TWO

! memory OF Lila's words. Had it
been his fault that BERTHE Lou was
receiving orchids? Could he have
stopped it if he'd tried? But they'd
agreed to remember their marriage
vows until they wanted them broken
legally.
For half a moment Rod believed
in BERTHE Lou without doubt. Then
he thought of Lila--of her trickery
and faithfulness. Women were
devils! Badl
A man was fool to trust one
of them! Rod would know soon.
He'd find BERTHE Lou somewhere
in this warren of sleeping jewellers
and wiring the truth from her!
He took the stairs two at a time,
his feet making but little sound on
the thick paper that was laid over
the silencing rubber pads. When
he reached the second floor land
ing, a broad, spacious central hall
in reality, he paused to look about
him.
There were three corridors lead
ing to the sleeping room. Rod
could see down the one on his right
without moving.
He took step in that direction
when mans voice down the cor
ridor that led to the rooms in the
back wing attracted his attention.
He heard an indistinguishable fem
mime murmur in reply.
He turned to the left and when
he came abreast Of the middle cor
ridor he was just in time to see
young man step from room and
hear him say with a teasing laugh:
II won't be long, Mrs. Marco Pal
mer of the future"
So this was the man whom Lila
linked with BERTHE Loul
Rod noticed that he was wearing
silken dressing gown and hcd-
room slippers. Not a bad looking
boy.
But what sort was he to pull
thing like this under his mothers
roof, even if he was going to marry
the girl?
Rods lips curled in contempt, but
he went on, intending to make
Marco tell him where he could find
BERTHE Lou.
Halfway down the corridor he
stopped. A maid had appeared
from some backstairs, bearing a
breakfast tray in her arms. He
could inquire of her, and possibly
avoid a scene with young Palmer.
The girl did not take any notice
of him, and just as he was about
to speak to her she reached the
door Of the room Marco had left,
and raped upon it.
1t was opened at once by some
one Rod could not see. But he
heard a voice directing the girl
where to put the tray.
The voice was BERTHE LOUIS.

man, can't your"
"Say, what is this, a race with
the stork?" the driver barked at
him the third time he asked for
speed. "I can't afford a ticket, 30;
I've had the limit"
1t was daybreak when the driver
turned oq the state highway and
took the road to the Palmer coun-
try home far out on the South
Shore of Long Island. The house,
set a quarter of mile back on the
blue stone driveway, appeared dig
nifled and peaceful in the early
morning light.
Most of the windows were shut
tered, but a few on the second floor
showed drawn blinds. There was a
wooden door, used to close the
house during the family's sojourn
in the South or abroad, leaning
against an outside wall.
Rod understood. Marco was using
the house in his parents absence.
He instructed the taxi driver to
wait for him, and walked up to the
door to ring. AS he reached forth
his hand he saw with surprise that
the door was not on the latch. 1t
swung open a few inches and Rod
obeyed an impulse to enter without
ringing.
Inside a strange sight met his
eyes. The furniture of the hall was
still shrouded in linen covers and
the floor was bare. Top coats and
hats were thrown over chairs and
on stands, indicating that Marco
had not brought a butler out with
him. But those carelessly placed
coats and hats were a welcome sight
to Rod.
1t was house party! A flood of
relief that soothed him like cool
water on parched tongue swept
over him. He strobe on into the
living room, oblivious of trespassing;
not caring, had it occurred to him.
The living room presented a de-
plorable sight. The air reeked of
stale tobacco smoke, and countless
ash trays, filled with cigaret ends,
were everywhere.
Trays with tell-tale glasses, green
and brown pinch bottles, with an
array of smaller bottles about them
like chicks huddled around a squat
hen, decorated the room lavishly.
Rod saw piano with a torn
record trailing out of it like a gil
gautic ticker tape. The floor was
marked by dancing feet and some
of the covered furniture was heaped
in piles, or overturned.
A few chairs and a davenport near
the fireplace had been uncovered.
On one chair, pinned to the back,
was a corsage of orchids
Rod turned grim at the sight of
it. BERTHE Lou and orchids. Did
she get so many that she cared lit
tie for them? But who would think
Of flowers at party such as this
must have been?

Who interested you in my case? Won't

"Sure I will" replied Captain Mac

st must have been three years ago
when | first began to hear your name
mentioned at Austin, in the adjutant-
generals office and elsewhere. Just
casually, you understand, and / took
no particular notice.
Then l heard that women of your
family were working to get influence
for you. This was before you became
famous as an outlaw. Of course. a
little later, after the Bland affair. your
name grew to be household word in
Texas. From then on your rep.tation
grew.

somewhere, and shall find it for you.
Il was visited by a young woman
who claimed to be member of your
household at Wellston. | took her for
your sister or near relative-it, fact.
called her Miss Duane, which at the
time she did not correct.
"She had been to see the Governor: !:
and, Of course, he had turned her
down The Governor is against OUT
laws, the same as he is against rangers.
This girl wanted an audience with the
adjutant- general, and in his absence
she ran across me.
Il want to say here that she electri-
fed me. Before she left my office /
was ready to fight for her. I promised
to speak TO the acknowledgement and to
use what influence had in her behalf.
She wanted a parole for you, if not
pardon.

came the next time. She won the in
terest of Adjutant-General Reed, and
he even went TO the Governor with her.
Sure, they only got turned down. I
learned from Reeds secretary that this
girl was Miss Lee instead of Miss
Duane. Evidently she was wealthy.
1T was a fact, however, that she
lived at your mothers home in Wells
ton. If money could have helped your
case there at the capital it sure would
have been Forthcoming.
"All this interested me. I wrote to
Miss Lee, and told her that my duties
would soon take me to the Nueces
country again, and that | would find
out all I could about you. She replied
"a grateful, sweet, womanly letter.
Il wrote her from several towns on

to make ranger of you.

tell you your cousin, Miss Lee-I pre-
surned she was your cousirl-certainly
had won over Reed. We went to call
upon the Governor.
"I'm not likely to forget that inter
view in a hurry. We called on him to
give us a pardon for you. We
promised we would make you render
the State service as ranger. We
found ourselves precipitated into a
fierce debate upon the old question of
the ranger service"
