Mrs Van Spanker was not at her best. The

"Help!"
Bobby's jaw WAS set.
Look here" he said, 1--WE just thought it

Their heads were together in animated and
seemingly joyous converse until dinner was
announced. Bobby took Violet in, she leaned
fondly on his arm They whispered and
laughed during the caviar. Mrs. Van Spanker
exchanged glances of delight with Mr. and
Mrs. Bluykhuysen-the fufillment of their

He bent over and patted Violet's hand
Excuse me, DEAR" he said, and vanished
through the portieres.

sat before the desk

The intruder regarded him with cold squint.

Thence he went directly home, stabbed his
car, patted it approvingly, and mounted to
his bed room. He finally dressed and de-

The room was already full of people. Bobby
greeted them blithely if somewhat absent

so bithely but with more intertness. Then he
