'Fotherbury knew Pell. Even in the Casino at Ostend with Mar ling! A week before, gambler, ruined at the tables, had jumped into the basin off the Quai des Pechours. Fotherbury knew that man-but you tell them, MT. Red slade."
 T didn't know him as Fother- bury, but I knew him as baccarat player, and he was playing baccarat at my table that night" said Red slade.
 "Goshl" Somerfield explained.
 50 as I say LaXton continued you can see the whole thing shap- ing up in his wicked mind. The suicide has come to life and has made a fortune in a night. Neither Mir. Redslade nor Pell suspected him then. They didn't connect him with Marling. MT. Redslade had good luck and bad. It was good luck to leave the money in safe custody. That euchred the Dover plan Fotherbury's plan. It was bad luck to have given the false names and tried to carry it off with the police at Dover, because that threw them back into Fotherbury's arms. So you perceive that when Pell wormed out the story of Smithins, he had Fotherbury in cleft stick"
 Redslade smiled with the grim expression I had learned to look for in Cousin John.
 II was only allowed one letter a month in prison" he explained, but it became plain from Pell's second letter that both Marling and Fotherbury had recognized him and feared him like the devil. But what they couldn't make out was whether Pell knew Fotherbury and linked him up with Smithins and the Dover affair. But he never squeaked. He was wame gamb- Ter. Fotherbury.'
 And even Pell's search for the abbot's little pile didn't put him on to it?" Somerfield asked.
 "He was never quite sure that Pell knew anything about that yarn. Pell had found him puzzling over the book and plan. Fotherbury could make nothing of it but would ask for no advice. Pell got hold of the book, had translation made, and worked out a theory of the plan"
 And dug accordingly" well, he led Fotherbury on to dig close to the place indicated When he was ready to help me break prison he collared the ab- bots book. If our affair broke down, then Fotherbury's chance of clew to the secret would be gone we didn't mean him to have any of the stuff if it existed.

That in turn, was Farrantis last
straw. He lunged across the engine:
caught the beast by the collar; damned
him good and hard, went round the
engine and damned him better and
harder. The man tried to hit. too, and
gouge and kick. but only after three
knock down blows was he convinced
that the young mar was his superior
in the art. So he decided 1t would be
less painful to play a placid role. He
made q sullen surrender n began
sulkily to tinker with his engine.
And all might have been we'll had
not Farrant found a purely human
elation in the concern and respect this
adorable girl showed him at his having
beaten a man larger than himself.
She ran to him crying: Are you
hurt? How splendid of you." 1t was
really splendid hearing Lois say he
was. Instinctively his arm went about
her as he told her he was not hurt,
that he had knocked a little decency
into the BLACKBOARD and that all would
be we'll.
1t was natural of him but careless.
1t gave the vicious driver his moment.
He nipped into his seat and the next
they heard of him was the rOar Of his

his insulting shout that he was going

Minneapolis Man
Sold on Montana

Despite rumors of crop shortages in
Montana, Paul j. Leeman, vice presi-
dent of the First National bank of
Minneapolis, who was a recent Montana
visitor, said conditions are far superb
Or to early reports and Montana may
well be rated first In the northwest
from an economic standpoint. He said
he marveled at the situation and when
actual facts become known, the credit
of this state will be greatly improved
with eastern banking institutions.
Reports that the recent merger of
several large banking corporations In
Seattle would tend to take the loan
ing business away from eastern banks
are, in the opinion Of Mr.. Leeman,
unfounded. Mergers, it is true, do in
crease the loaning powers, he stated,
but it will not greatly affect this state.
II was amazed to find Montana in
such q sound financial condition." said
the Minneapolis banker. This state
has passed the pioneering stage and
has weeded out its weak institutions

smile. Il know what sort of man you

a silly girl, that you won't teil?"
He was numb under that home

reason why you won't tell?"
Her open hand was under Farrant'S
eyes. He saw 1t was full Of scraps

torn up and tossed away. He was
dumb. She went n

She read the answer in his face,
vet not for the life of him could he
hurt her by telling her all the truth.

termined to have it and that the situa-

them all night, not perhaps because
of Lois so much as for the loot in his
suitcase. They learned later that he
had met their rascal driver hurrying
back to Sammergalz and so had picked
up their trail. Now he rushed on the
scene in a big car that his evil faced
friend drove.
At the mere sight OF him Lois first
impulse was to run. She saw what he
was. All the veneer was gone from
Preach now and the ugly ruff1an was
in command. He checked the girls
movement with q flourish of the re-
volver he carried and by his shout,
"Stay where you are, you little huSSy,

Farrant got a thrill when Lois stood
still-for him. But he was anxious,
too. Preach was obviously In his most
dangerous mood and Farrant remem-
bered he stopped at nothing. He put
up his own hands and advanced on

he mastered his man. A twist and

Farrant would have beaten

He became conscious of Lois NOV
ing to his aid. She had a stout branch
of q tree in her hand. She was ready
to use that on Preach . then
suddenly she was torn away. Strong
arms seized her, wrested the branch

Farrant caught a glimpse Of Preach's
evil-faced accomplice-but too late
The branch fell. Farrant rolled or

cases. Farrant WINGED at the thought
of the suit cases. If that brute went
to the police, as he probably would, to
forestall any charge they might lay
against him, the police would certainly
examine those suit cases, find the loot,
and come out and arrest him, Vincent
Farrant, as Walter Preach!
It was a futile ironic ending to their
adventure and to his clever plans.
Lois collapsed under 1t. With a
semi hysterical, "And this is my honey
moon!" she sank at the foot Of a tree,
presently to cry herself into the sleep
Of utter exhaustion.
Farrant, longing to take her in his
arms, contented himself by stripping
off his coat and putting it over her.
He himself spent the whole night
walking up and down on guard. 1t was
a way Of keeping warm, too.
It was an abOminable night, without
a grain of comfort In 1t. Even the
thought that he had saved Lois so far
and given Drostan a full day to act,
did little to mend things: When dawn
came he felt miserable, helpless, hun
cry, and dirty, and 80 utterly unable
to face Lois in that condition that he
called to her, when he saw her STIR
ring, that he had heard running water
somewhere and was going to look
for 1t.
Somewhat keyed up by that waters
singing GOODNESS, he came back to the
girl. He found her In q curious mood,
| reserved and inclined to stare at him
with odd, assessing glances. When she
returned from the stream she was more
thoughtful still, and he became so un-
easy that he was actually forced to
say briskly: "That fellow said the
nearest house, that Is breakfast, was
ten miles of. I suppose we'd better
be making for It,"
She did not answer that, just looked
him steadily In the eyes and said quiet

Farrant left Lois limp ana tired in
the waiting room while he sought out
just the kind of motor car driver who
would agree to lose" them for a
consideration. The type was not easy
to find. In the end he had to be con-
tent with a shifty rascal who leered
unpleasantly when he heard Farrants
plot and demanded and got hard cash
in advance. Farrant loathed the fell
low, but it was the best he could do
at short notice.
Fortunately, Lois was so worn out
with ~anXieties that the eternal and
monotonous flicker of tree trunks pass
ing them after they had got into the
forest sent her to sleep.
After they had travelled for hours
and seemed so deep in the heart of the
silent forest that they might be a mil

denly stopped and Farrant found him.

Farrant. Get on"
The steel in Farrant's voice startled
and checked the man, yet greed DOM

He had no intention of letting her get

And, indeed, that was a fact. A big

the motor driver who pointed to Lois
and Farrant as the suspects.

proving who vas the real crook. He

Trial OF Keyes
Deputy Starts

Los ANGELES, Nov. 25. W.H-
The last of the trials arising from
asserted corruption in the admin
istration of former District Attor-
ney Asa Keyes started here today.
The defendant in the action was
Donald Mackay former chief trial
deputy for Keyes, accused of having
accepted bribes to direct friendly
prosecution of A. I. Lasker, finan'
cier, charged with violating the cor
poratc securities act.
Mackay essertedly took almost
$4,000 from Ben Getzoff and others
who interceded for Lasker. Mackay
contends that he dismissed the suits
against Lasker on the order of
Chief District Attorney Harold
Buddy" Davis.
Davis, himself, has been convict
ed of accepting br;bes, as has Keyes.
Both now are in county Jail await
ing the outcome of appeals to con-
viction.
Getzoff and Jacob Berman, star
witnesses against Keyes and Davis,
are expected to be called in the
prosecution of Mackay.
