There was one man, who kept COM
ing TO see me even after he knew
what was after-his money.
kept these visits secret from Enrique
to stop his jealousy. He found out
and believed l had been unfaithful
to him. He-beat me. Then he
went away.
Il saw him again, several times,
but he never came back to me.
When I saw him again at the hotel,
II knew 1 loved him still. I gave
him money when he asked for it,
How could I help it?"
And the bracelet? You didn't
trust him much, did you?"
Il trusted him not at ALL" she
replied calmly. Love is one thing,
and money is another. Is it not
SOP"
Did he tell you anything about
the Jupiter robbery, and where he
got the bracelet"
He told me, but not whose house
it was he robbed. That partner Of
his waited under the balcony and
he threw the jewels down to him.
HE thought he might be stopped
going out, but he wasn't. walked
right out and into his car and drove
away. He was frightened of 60
ing out by the window
That was why he didn't get the
necklace-the woman rushed to the
balcony, and he was afraid to fol-
low her.
He got nothing but the brace
let, really His partner took the
rest and fled-after they ran down
the boy"
She rolled her eyes in Mary's di-
rection. Mon Dieu, was he angry
when he learned who had got the
bracelet! I would hang him, he
said, by my stupidity. But he was
wrong. 1t was not I. 1t was
she-!"
What of Bruce?" Bates asked in
low tone. There was no re-
proach in it-merely curiosity.
Louise shifted uneasily. ~He will
marry the sweet child y<lder, and
have many babies, no doubt she
said.
"Whoa!" Dirk exclaimed. "Tll
have something to say about that.
Mary moved over and sat on the
arm of his chair, his arm went about
her possessively.
Bruce will go back to his first
love, perhaps" Mary spoke up. His
rainting He has neglected it long
enough"
THEY were nearing Key West
i now. The tug had put a line
aboard the Gypsy" and in mo-
ment hauled her free from the reef
with no appreciate damage to her
bottom.
Mary had sent a radiogram to
George Bowen in care OF his friend
on the Miami paper, telling him of
the Fly's confession, and ending:
Have minister at dock. You're to
be best man."
Just after sunset they put to
alongside the pier at Key West,
and the first man aboard was
Bowen, looking for all. the world
like the cat that ate the cream.
How in the world did you get
here so soon?" Mary asked, as he
wrung her hand and greeted Dirk
effusively.
THE paper sent me down in a
plane he explained.
Paper? What paper?"
"One of the best. When you de-

no money, no meat-so I bulled
them into putting me on the after
noon paper down there.
Man can't take a job on a morn
ing paper when he's married Let
the young bloods do that"
Mary gasped. Married? You?"
She pretended dismay. And just
yesterday I thought I was the lucky
maiden!"
He flushed a trifie under her
good-humored gibe, but quickly re-

quickly hid it.
Thought I'd give the minister

Pair of lucky kids, you are! ]

the day. Louise simply wilted when
