Sorry to have spoiled the evening
you so plainly desired to have alone
with her, but 1 wouldn't try to rush
her if I we're you"
mo doubt your advice is valu-
able; you have managed your own
affairs so capably," Dean observed
ironically. II think, however, that I
shall not require it."
Perhaps not Well, give me a
parting kiss, old sunbeam, and don't
forget me too soon"
He drew back as she moved
nearer to him and she laughed
teasingly.
Come along then and see me
cut, then" she invited and moved
toward the door. You see, I'm de-
termined to please you in some
manner, so I'll leave you"
AS he opened the outer door for
her he caught a glimpse of a fam
liar figure passing before the house
He was helping Mrs. Farley into
her car when the figure turned and
came back, stopping near him. He
closed the door of the car and faced
about.
Good evening, Mr.. Damn" he said
haughtily.
Nice evening" Nathaniel re-
turned pleasantly. Nice for stroll
ing, nice street, too"
Dean appeared relieved. "Oh,
then you weren't thinking of COM
ing in?" he said discuragingly.
II should like to see Virginia, "
Nathaniel replied, weakening in his
resolve not to call until she sum-
moned him.
"She has retired" Dean informed
him CURLY. And there are other
streets that are nice for strolling If
you are interested in such exploring
about. Good night"
80 you're wise to me-" Nathaniel
muttered after him as he mounted
the steps and disappeared within the
house.
"Confound him." Dean was saying
aloud as he made his way back to
the drawing room. Hes shadowing
the house, the pig-headed fool"
The thought of Nathaniel on
guard out in the street, coupled
with his appreciation of the sound
ness of Mrs. Farley's advice about
not rushing Virginia, put him on
edge. He began to perceive that
Nathaniel was going to be a for
midable obstacle to his plans.
There must be some way of get

Scandal" Dean fairly exploded
the word.
Cor proper balm for a wounded
heart" Mrs. Farley announced de-
cisively.
Helen! Good heavens, are you
Matchmaking me?"
What an ugly word, Frederick!
Don't you think it would be nice
to consider that Miss Brewster is
worth what it will cost to wipe the
slate clean?"
There's nothing on the slate to
wipe off I'm not a fool, Helen. 1
didn't expect anything like this, but
I've always been careful about wom-
en-. You are no exception"
There aren't any love letters,
that's true, Frederick. But there
are witnesses at my apartment. And
you know, even if failed to win a
breach-of- promise suit, the mere
fact that l filed one would be ruin
Gus to you.
"You must remember, dear heart
breaker, that I am a woman of your
own scandal set, and little smoke
from my tiny blaze would mean
more than a bonfire that any out
slider might ignite. In other words,
I am above suspicion"
But you haven't a reason for
doing anything of that nature"
Dean protested heatedly. II never
spoke to you of marriage, Helen"
"I'll admit that, Frederick, as we
have no witnesses, but you know I
expected you to. You'd have done
it, too, if you hadn't seen a chance
to buy a new model"

that she won't DO goose enough to

you offer your hand and fortune"
You must be out of your mind,
Helen. to say such things"
"You must be out Of yours If you
think I'm blind. And don't you
suppose Clarissa knows what you're
up to?
That's why she tilted at me at
dinner. She thought she had me
down, else she wouldn't have given
me this opportunity with you. But
she moderated me, Frederick. I
know when I've lost. I'm ready to
settle the score and call it a day"

"You win," he said sharply
THAT is, if you intend to be reason
able. For it's plackmail, whatever
you may call it.
"You haven't shred of evidence
and I doubt if Miss Brewster would
listen to your condolences, but ]
realize as we'll as you do that it
isn't necessary to be proved guilty
to be condemned"
That's sensible, Frederick. My
demands will not be excessive, con-
sidering what I have to suffer, for
you know, dear, really was quite
fond of you in spite of your
wealth"
Like hell you WERE" Dean rasped.
You'll have to pardon that, Helen,
but since you're acting like a crook
you must be prepared to listen to
plain truths" he added bluntly.
plain figures on your check will
do the trick, darling"
White with anger, Frederick Dean
went to desk and got out check
book. A moment later Mrs. Farley
was calmly tearing slip Of paper
to bits.
Double" she said firmly, land
you'll win"
Trembling, but forcing himself to
silence, Dean wrote OFT a new
check. Mrs. Farley folded it into
tiny jeweled vanity case she was
carrying.
I'm truly sorry it turned out
this way, Frederick. 1 was thrilled
at the thought of marrying you.
you're f1inty, and there isn't the
trace of a heart anywhere in your
well-preserved body, but you had
the power to strike fire in me.
That's great deal to lose"
She was staring away from him,
down the years, and for all the
brittleness of her exterior there was
a wistful quality in her cultivated
voice.
But it made no appeal to Frede-
rick Dean. He hated her fiercely
at that moment; she had bested
him, criminally perhaps, but he did
not mind her method. The mere
fact that he was bested enraged
him. He was not accustomed to it.
Slowly she got to her feet. 81
wish you luck, Frederick but I
don't imagine you're going to have
an easy victory with Miss Brewster.

gone.
She smiled at him, a superior
smile.
ION the contrary" she said even
ly, "you are going to be very exclt-
ing company"
Mr.. Dean allowed a flicker of ap-
prehension to appear in the gaze
he turned upon her.
He had caught something vaguely
portentious, even threatening, IN
her level tone.
"Then you didn't stay for par
chesi?" asked blandly.
when have we ever played par
chesi?" she countered. Don't pre-
tend to be stupid, Frederick, you are
we'll aware that the game we have
played is not so innocuous as that.
"Were we playing game Helen?''
His tones dripped innocence, but his
eyes evaded her searching scrutiny
of his face.

answered Internationally, land now

winner"
Dean reached over to near by
stand and helped himself to a
cigaret from a lacquered box.
THANK you," Mrs. Farlay said
and put out a hand. He gave her
the cigaret, and understood that
she knew he was disturbed to the
point of forgetting his manners.
He took another cigaret for him
self but he did not neglect to touch
"a match to hers before lighting his
own.
This was going to be a game of
wits, he realized, and he had lost the
first point by letting her see that
he was worried.
For half a minute they smoked
in silence. He was the first to
speak.
Were there any stakes?" he
asked, striving to speak lightly.
Important Ones" she declared
instantly. st thought right along
that I had more to win than you
had, Frederick, but since meeting
Miss Brewster I have reached a
different conclusion"
Meaning ?"
"That I am sure you regret the
game now. Sweet child, isn't
she?"
Then with sudden show of con-
fidence, she added: "You know, ]
think I can understand how you
feel. 1t must be like drinking at
a fountain Of youth to possess a
girl like Miss Brewster"
"What are you thinking about?''
he shot at her quickly.
Don't lose your temper, dear,
she warned him sweetly; though
I understand that, too. I felt
angry myself earlier in the eve
ming, but I'm wise enough to know
that it will do no good. I've decided
we can settle the matter amicably.'

Superintendent Un-
usual Powers

NEWARK. n. j.. Oct. 26.-(Pt-
Forty thousand regisrants in the
election districts OF Hudson and Es-
sex counties. democratic S~trongholds,
today faced the prospect Of having
their names stricken from the
voters rolls on the ground that they
we're illegally registered.
Proposed action against them was
announced after the decision of the
New Jersey supreme court yesterday
unfolding the constitutionality Of
the state law which gives 10 super
i~ntendents Of elections the right 70
strike from the lists the names Of
citizens they believe to be illegally
registered.
See G.. q. r. Plot
The law giving the superinttnd-
erts such power was passed by H..
republican legislature early this
month, vetoed by the democratic
governor. Harry Moore. and repassed
over his veto.
The act was the outcome OF the
investigation OF Hudson county CON
ditions by the Case legislative COM
mittee which is still under way.
Hudson is the home OF Frank Hague,
vice chairman OF the democratic ma
tional committee and long a power
IN New Jersey politics. Mr.. Hague
is mayor of Jersey City.
Democratic leaders interpret the
action as an effort to defeat Cover
o Smith. They say that the re-
dress TO the courts given voters
whose are stricken from the
lists means little as the time il so
short before election that only a
small part Ct the 10000 will have an
opportunity to be heard. They also
have asked an investigation Of the
registration in Atlantic City. one of
the strong republican cities where

ton is registered.
