We fear one will be sufficient and therefore suggests Congress he ask ed for enough to build 13 new ones. Next year 20 more. and so on.

like two round, polished sapphires
set in bronze. Bybee, searching
them with his keen, pale blue eyes,
could find in them no guile, no
cloud of guilt.
David and I told you the truth,

her lips trembled childishly. you

"All right" Bybee nodded his ac-

me there. But Miss Pond, who
works in the office at the Home,
said they had investigated and
found she had moved right after
she put me in the orphanage. But
I thought hoped--I could find
out something while I'm here. But
I suppose it would be too dangerous
I might get caught-and they'd
send me to the reformatory-"
Haven't I told you I'm not going
to let 'em bother you?" Bybee
chided her, beetling his brows in a
terrific frown. Now my idea is
this"
my idea, Winfield Bybee" his
wife interrupted tartly. Always

My idea, Sally, is for me to scout
around the neighborhood where

I can pick up any information for
you. Land knows a girl alone like

She sagged against the narrow
shelf which served as a kitchen
table, weeping forlornly.
Don't cry, Sally" David pleaded
gently. Its not your fault. I'd do
it all over again if anyone else
dared insult you. Oh, the devil!
These onions are burning upl Skip
along now and don't worry. I'm

Keep a stiff upper lip honey. In all
that brown paint and that rig, you
could walk into the sheriff's office
and he'd do nothing worse than ask
you to read his palm"
But you, David, you" she pro-
tested, trying to choke off her sobs.
You're not disguised"
I'll stick to the kitchen. No
bodyll think of looking for me here. "
He grinned at her cheerfully. Re
member, Pop Bybee's on our side.
He took us in when he thought I'd
killed a man. don't suppose he'll
turn on us now, particularly since
you're such a riot as Princess Lalla.
I've been hearing how big you're 60
ing over in the Palace Of Wonders. "
Honestly, David?" she frightened.
do you like me dressed up like
this?" and she made him a little
curtSey.
"You sweet, sweet kid'' he laughed
at her tenderly. Like you ike
that? You're adorable But like
your own wild-roSe complexion pet
ter. Now scoot or I'll be put in
irons for spelling the supper"
Sally fled, but not before she had
blown him an audacious kiss from
the tips of her giIded-nailed fingers.
Winfield Bybee had entered the
dining car during her talk with Da-
vid and was seated at his own table,
his thin, hatchet-faced wife Oppo-
site him. When he saw mis- new
Princess Lalla almost skipping down
the aisle, her eyes sparkling with
JOY at David's unexpected praise
and tenderness, he muttered some
thing to Mrs. Bybee, TIM beckoned
the fantastically-clad little figure to
his table.
Would her royal highness honor

doomed, his blue eyes twinkling.
When she had seated herself,

confidential undertone: Me and
the wife have seen that piece in the
papers about you and Dave, Sally.
What about it? Who's lying? You
and the bOy-or Carson?".
Sally had turned the little black
lace veil back upon the jeweled-gilt
crown, so that her big eyes showed

find out where my long-lost sister,
Mrs. Ford, is. What was her first
name! Got that, tool"
"Her name was Nora" Sally said
softly. Mrs. Nora Ford, aged %
then-twelve years ago. Oh, Mrs.
Bybee, you're both so good to me!
Why are you so good to me?" she
added ingeniously.
Maybe" Mrs. Bybee answered
brusquely, tits because you're a
sweet kid, without any flirty non
sense about you. That is" she
added severely, her sharp gray eyes
Ticking from Sally's eager face to
Bybeee's, you'd better not let me
catch you making eyes at this old
Tom Cat of mine!"
Now ma" Bybee flushed and
squirmed, don't tease the poor kid.
Can't you see she's clear gone on
this Dave chap Of hers? She
wouldn't even know I was a man if
I didn't wear pants. Don't mind
her. Sally. She's your friend, too,

CHAPTER XVI

WHEN Sally had carefully de-
wv posted the dignifed little
midget, "Pitty Sing" in the infant
sized high-chair drawn up to a cor
ner table in the dining car, she
hurried to the box of a kitchen
which took up the other end of the
car, the newspaper trembling in her
hand. She found David alone in
the kitchen, slicing onions into a
great pan of frying Swiss steak.
Onfon-induced tears streamed down
his cheeks, but at the sound Of
SaIly's urgent voice, he turned.
ooh, David, he wasn't killed."
she cried, taking care to keep her
voice low! But he says, oh, David,
he says the most terrible things
about us, and the police are look
ing for US"
"Hey, there, honey! Steady!"
David commanded gently, as he
cropped for a handkerchief to wipe
his streaming eyes. "Now, let's see
the paper. Thank God L didn't
commit murder-what the devil"
he interrupted himself, as his eyes
travelled hurriedly down the front
page. "By heaven, I almost wish
