During the next few days-be-
tween Sunday and Thanksgiving
ThurSday-it became obvious to
Crystal that Tony was as changed
as she herself was.
A great deal Of the old gay care
lessneSs and debonair nonchalance
which had been one Of Tony'S chief
charms was gone, possibly never to
return. The truth was, Crystal told
herself that Tony Tarver was grow
ing up.
And to her adoring chum. the
pathetic part of it was that Tony
was deliberately forcing her own
maturity so that it might be a
much-needed prop in the new life
which she was facing, unwillingly.

Mildred sighed. and got up to go
I'm late" she said, g1ancing anx-
iously at her wrist watch.
Back at the Office she showed a
more cheerful countenance than
they'd seen her wear for some time.
But as the days passed and Ste
pEenS lawyer made no progress in
his effort to tie Huck up with the
automobile theftS, her IoWnesS of
spirit returned
Stephen tried to pretend that
there was yet great deal of hope,
but Mildred knew that he was dis
couraged. Nothing had been learned
Of Huck except that he had been
a heavy spender
Huck never had mixed his low
brow acquaintance with his high
brow victims. And since his de
parture from the Judson hotel and
was not possible for Stephens law
yer to have him Swallowed. nothing
could be learned of his connection
with Duke Broggan and Ras Po-
berlin.
Finally, because she saw the
hopeIessnesS in Stephens eyes
deepen, Mildred decided to appeal
to Pamela to help him.
This time she did not risk a re-
buff. She entered the hotel at noon
and went up to Pamela'S rooms
without having herself announced
She raped firmly on the sitting
room door and set her foot in readi-
ness to enter as soon as the door
was opened. The maid who an
swered her summons was taken
aback by her abrupt and almost
forceful entry.
rs Miss JudSon in her bedroom?"
Mildred asked, and the maid nodded
before she could collect her wits.
Mildred stepped quickly over to
the bedroom door and thrust ii
wide open.
AS She had hoped. Pamela was not
yet out of bed. She was having her
breakfast as usual She did not
look up until Mildred appeared be-
side her.
Then she set her coffee cup
hastily back on the saucer and drew
herself higher on her Silken pillows
with a gesture of anger.
Don't bother to have tantrum,'
Mildred said coolly. I've come tc
talk to you about Stephen"

gan, but Mildred stopped her.

unless you want to go on being re-
Sponsible for an innocent mans be-

DAMELA was too astonished to
a give the order to have Mildred
elected. Mildred had planned her
attack with that object in view. She
turned to the maid who had fol-
lowed her to the connecting door
then back to Pamela.

Stephen pulled his chest a bit.

L A Pamela asked Incredulously.

mo. Only warning you. Stephen
knows that Huck is thief and I'm
sure that he hasn't gone SO far to
stop now. He wants you, Pamela,
and if I were you I'd want a man
like Stephen around to protect me-"
Aren't you clever?" Pamela
laughed.
Mildred bit her lip. She was re-
luctant to speak of Harold to
Pamela. Still if she could not get
to Mr. Judson ."
I'm not clever. Pamela" she said
quietly "but I believe that Huck is
a dangerous man. A man who would
not hesitate to. do murder if it suited
his purpose.
She was totally unprepared for
the effect of her words upon Pamela.
The girls face blanched instantly
and Mildred could see the shiver
that ran over her slim body.
She saw, too, that Pamela's eyes
were trimmed with dark circles and
that her lips looked pinched.
She was staring in surprise when
Pamela cried out suddenly; MUIR
der, oh, my God!" and buried her
face in her hands.
Mildred rushed to her side. What
it tsp" she cried. ooh, Pamela, do
you know?'
Pamela dropped her hands from
her tear-filled eyes and nodded.
That's what the police told dad,
she said sobbingly They say Har-
old didn't jump o. fall from the
window as we thought"
Mildred pressed her fingers tight
against her own quivering lips. She
had known it all the time, but to
have others say it was true she
wanted to shrek, it had become SO
horrible.
She dropped to her knees at
Pamelas bedside and started to cry.
Pamela struggled to overcome her
own emotion. When she succeeded
she wanted Mildred to talk.
How did you know?" she asked
and Mildred began, brokenly, to tell
her.
IT knew that Huck had some ter
rible hold on Harold, she said,
and l tried to make Harold tell me
what it was. Oh, Pamela, wish
hadn't. I think they killed him so
he wouldn't talk"
why haven't you told us?"

murder. I had no proof to take to

4 n it?" Pamela asked in horror.
I'm sure of it," Mildred stated.
Poor Harold lived in terror of him.
He told me Huck wanted to marry
you, Pamela. I think he stood in
the way.
And he knew that Huck meant to
fix it so you wouldn't have anything
more to do with Stephen. How could
YOU have believed that Stephen
would steal anything?" she added
accusingly.
Il don't know. I must have been
blind Pamela admitted. Tell me-"
she urged suddenly. What does
Stephen say about me?'
Mildred drew back, aghast at
Pamelas question. Pamela seemed
TO have heard enough about her
brother.
1t struck Mildred as callous, but
in the next moment she told herself
that Pamela must love Stephen aft
er all.

I Dismiss her" she said CURLY,
unless you want the whole place
to know what I've got TO say to

Pamela waved a hand to the maid
and told her TO close the door and
wait in the next room. She was
more than a little afraid Of Mil

Police said that Pauley had killed his wife and then
ended his own life. They said that Pauley was q

Well, he had a million and this did not seem to

million. He played and then he paid. He snuffed

He directed his chauffeur 10

the pilots over and recognized a
