 "It's my job to find out just how the land lies" Waring observed to himself. Skillfuliy ho led the talk around to tho office. The house at Half. Day was working out inter- estingiy, wasn't 1t? He had some new plans sketch for the stables. He would lIko Bob to stop by tho office some day and sec them.
 Keeniy he watched the boys eyes Some new emotion darkened them
 Yes, Bob said. He'd do that. Waring was shrewdly silent.
 By the way" blurted Bob. "I don't suppose Miss Carey Is still with you. She was married, wasn't she 2"
 Waring did not need to assume astonishnent. Married? No of course not. What put that Into your head?"

 Waring shrugged. "Iye heard nothing about it," he said. and l don't believe there's q word of truth In 1t since she's not the sort of girl to leave without giving no. tice. who told your" he pursued
 'Honestly. T don't know" Bob said. but tnvoluntarily his gaxo strayed to the little group of which Denise was tho center. She was be- ing very gay this afternoon. She was in her clement.

Wdring said that he did and supplied t, The yoyns man seemed grateful.
 Waring did not mention the fact that Susan was no longer at the office. He had learned 1t himself only that morning. Heath had exs plaIned rather stiffly that Miss Carey's aunt was Ill and she would not return for some time, # at all.
 "The old mans keeping some- thing back,v Waring said to him- self. After he had gIven susan's address to Dunbar he felt better. Tho boy would go to see her and everything would be made right.
 "f've spiked that young lady's guns all rlght.' he niuttcred, think jng of Denise. He looked with dis. taste at the girl who had come from the agency to nj susafi's place. She was tall and thin with pink nose and pale blue eyes which looked as if she might have
