She looked down at him,
realizing how helpless she was.

That night Aunt Era went to
bed. Lovejoy and Tom settled
themselves down in the dining
room with the door open so
that they could hear any sound
that the baby made.
The lamp on the table
showed Toms face haggard and
thin as If he had just come
through a long illness. For the

that he looked as if he had
been sick.

it. He did not touch the toast,

along through the wet autunn
fields and the little towns.
The trir seemed to last for
an eternity An eternity of
agony and terror of helpless
ness.
But at 'ast 1t came to an end
as everything does mercifully.
There was no one at the sta.
ton to meet her.
That was odd she thought as
she followed red cap to the
taxicabs drawn up outside the
building.
And yet who was there who

Aunt EN- surely would not leave

Shane would hardly come down

with open arms.
But Tom might have come
down In his car TO drive me

sentiment toward him flaming
up IN her heart once more. He
knew I'd be frantic about the
baby.
As the cab went jolting along
through the rain,swept streets,
her thoughts flew back to Steve
Oglebay. How kind and
tender Steve had been to her!
She remembered the long, dark,
dreadful hours of that last
night when he had held her
in the crook OF his arm while
they drove along the Malibu
Beach. She remembered how
he had looked at her when he
kissed her good-by and made
her promise to come back to
him.

was warm comfort In That
knowledge even now in the
midst Of her anxiety and rack
ing pain.
Then the front of the dingy
Bullard Street apartment came
into view through the mist of
rain, and she forgot Steve
Oglebay and everything else
on earth except the baby.

MIR Mr.. Fortescue what can
do for you, sir?"
The young man put his hat
on the edge Of the desk and
took the chair that Carrigan
pushed under him.
Thanks, he said in a diff
fident voice; well, the truth
is I've come on rather pecu-
liar errand- I've been reading
about the lack of money in the
police department. that is, if I
may say so, of the need of more
cash for the police pension
fund, and I've made up my
mind to ask you for more de-
tails"
The chiefs eyes surveyed the
visitor. 1t was difficult for
him to speak calmly. He'd
given credit to Barrows, alias
Timkins for nerve, but this
was insult added to injury.
However, he resolved to play
the game through and with a
barely perceptibIe glance at
Carrigan he yentured to explain
In detail the necessity for half
a million more to put the pen
sion fund on a sound footing.
The young man sat nervodsly
working his hands during this
recital and once he looked back
at the door but the chief went
on. After is minutes of facts
and figures he paused
And that's that Mr.. Fortes-

and he took from an inner
pocket a cleckbook which he
opened and proceeded to fill
out a check which he handed
across the desk.
There" he said, Il hope It
will do a lot of good"
