doubt. I'd advise that no time be lest in questioning him. Give him the third degree if necessary to make hir. reveal Huck Connor's whereabouts"
 That's sense.' MT. Judson agreed, Will you come with us. Armitase?'
 Stephen hesitated. You're sure they won't let me see Miss Law rencen"
 I'm positive they won't. Come along2
 Stephen went, quite forgetting that Pamela was waiting for him.
 They rode downtown in taxi. Mir. Judson explained that he had placed his own car at Mildred's dis posal and hired detective to ac- company her to her home and act as a bodyguard while she remained in danger. Stephen, remembering what l Frean had done for him. was great 1 ly relieved. "Markeson is sending one of his own men as we'll" MT. 1 Judson added, 50 she will be well guarded"
 God, I hope this man will talk" Stephen exclaimed as they neared their destination.
 But his hope was not destined to come to frutiion. The man did no: talk. He could not. For Huck's hiding place was not known to him.
 Mir. Judson had gone home to have dinner with his wife, Pamela and Stephen, and Oerndorf was en- sconced in the bosom of his family up in BronNville long before the l questioning was over. | The taxi owner was released at last. There was nothing on the rec ords against him. The police were forced to conclude that the theft of his cab had been a bona fide lar c.ny
 He left cursing and declaring his hatred and defiance of them, though the strength that remained in him was small.
 He knew he was followed. Tail me, damn you," he shrieked, turn , ing and shaking his fist at his un- seen shadower.
 Mr. Judson got the news of the failure to make him talk from the police by telephone.
 You'd better send for your things and remain here" he said to Stephen.
 stephen was disinclned to ac- cept the invitation.
 Well. then" Mir. Judson said you are under police orders to do so." He let Stephen catch a glance which Pamela did not sec and the young man understood that there was something her father did not care to make known to her.
 He gave in with a poor show oi 1 grace. Since returning from the police station where the owner Of the taxi had been taken Stephen had sought to get away from MT Judson and so to Mildred. But Mr. Judson was not willing to let him out of his sight. He feared Stephens disregard of dan. ger. Whatever else he might think of him he did not consider Stepher ! a coward. And he had no desire tt lose a valuable witness. Aside from that he wanted to see Stephen and Pamela together, to study them and learn, if possible, how much Stephen meant to his daughter.
 Before the dinner was over he concluded that he was right abou, stephen beyond question. The young man seemed oblivious to Pamela charm.
 Pamela noticed it. too. but she pu, it down to oppression. Who wouldn't be tongue-tied with future father. in-law gloWering across the table al you, let alone a high-hat future tepmother-in-law?
 She tried to coax her father into a better mood but he paid no at tention to her.
 "You'd better not keep your youns man up too late" her father saie to her when they left the table.
 And you're looking terribly rock! yourself" Mrs. Judson supplement ed, thinking of the new necklace Pamela had got. She didn't see wh! an unmarried girl should have st many jewels.
