INSTALLMENT XVII.

~ UE'S return caused a mild sensa-
tton in Henry Hume's office A
sensation for day. Then, when
~ it was observed she received no
fayors, that she was doing twice
the amount Of work she had done be-
fore and that no more than nod or
staccato routine of business was ex-
changed between Henry Hume and her
self, curiosity tapered off and once
more she was merely another cog in the
wheel.
She had notified Mr.. Clifford she
could be reached at Henry Hume's Of
fices, where she was working. She had
rather expected a protest, on the
ground that her presence there might
stir Mrs. Hume to fresh action, with
its resultant scandal. But Clifford did
not deign to acknowledge her note.
On her third day in the Office she had
gone out to lunch with Mathilda. As
they turned the corner into Wall street
they all but collided with Jack Burton.
He stared at them as though they had
been couple of ghosts risen from the
sidewalk, raised his hat, and hurried
on. No word of greeting. 1t was al
most as though he were running away.
The next day an errand took Sue
past the building that housed Mr.. Gif
4O1O 0I1G was approaching lllC
entrance when she noticed two women
emerge, together. There was something
familiar about the women, even at
distance. Sue hurried for a closer look
before they stepped into the car wait
ing at the curb. Beatrice Randall and
Mrs. Henry Hume. Sue relayed the
news to Mathilda at once.
They've gotten together on the
theory two can throw more mud than
one" Mathilda judged. They plan to
give you a pretty bad time of it, Susie.
You may as well make up your mind to
that"
II have made up my mind. 1t
doesn't matter what they do, really"
Sue, biting OF the sentence. She was
about to add now that Jeff's gone"
Caught herself just In time.
That evening Sue and Mathilda were
puttering over dinner in the kitchen
of the fiat when the doorbell rang. Sue
went to answer, opened the door, stag
gered backward in alarm

room.

she could strike him down. What We
do is no concern of yours"
"On business; huh? Yea-monkey
business" Herman sneered. I'm max
ing what you do my concern, young
lady, and don't you forget 1t. You're
going to your husband, wherever he is,
You'll quit acting like BOBBY, working
for a few measly dollars and him with
millions. You're going to him and
you're staying with him till he pays
you well for beating it somewhere else.
He'll be glad to fix you up for the rest
of your life-to get rid of you"
Avarice. That was why Herman
Henschler was here. His soft life slid
ing from under him.
Sue, no longer trembling. Steely
now White-hot with fury. This man
had spoiled her youth, had made Tom
my's young life torment. She would
let him know, once and for all, how
loathsome he was to her.
How much would it cost, Herman"
Sue with curling lips, Ito rid us of
you-mother, Tommy and me? You're
such a blot on our lives that any
amount I might raise would be cheap
if it rubbed you out"
The suddenness Of the attack, the
venom of it, infuriated the man. He
was out of his chair instantly, his hands
on Sues shoulders. Thick, crushing
fingers, and his face. purple with rage
close to hers.
"You leave your mother out Of this, -
he said thickly She's a decent
woman. No trollop like you can inter-
fere between me and my wife. Think
your smart, eh, hooking a millionaire?
Well you've lost him, amt you? But
you amt losing me. Not by a jugful.
"Oh yes am, Herman" Sue, trying
not to think of the pain in her shoul-
ders. You're leaving. Peaceably,
hope. Otherwise, I'll have you removed,
by force"
You" Herman was shaking her
Shaking her so that her head seemed
about to jerk from her shoulders.
Should she scream? Where was Ma

Drop it!' The door burst open.

o'clock signaled the close of the day.
Once machinery was sheathed and slid
into it's berth. A rush for snbways, ele-

When the Offices were cleared Sue
went to Henry Hume's door and raped.
Come in"
Sue opened the door, as she had
pushed 1t to so many times. But this
tine was different. Mathilda, searching
files for records which did not exist,
was outside the line of vision. Her
presence lent smile to Sues entry and

CECIL RHODES IS SHOWN UP,
 LATEST BOOK
Dark Hazard Is Another Publication with Dog
 in 'Fade-Out'
By JOHN sELBY

NEW 4O4tAA, NV. ~4 AAofS1 with tongue in cheek, perhaps not, Cecil Rhodes declared that he gave himself 4,000 years when someone asked him how long he expected to be remembered.
 Yet his name would be almost entirely unknown in this country if it were not for the Rhodes scholarships, and there would not be so many of them as remind CTS, had Rhodes and his various lieutenants realized how many states there were in the Union.
 Sarah, Gertrude Millins Cecil Rhodes" is none the less interest," ing because it's subjects fame has faded. Mrs. Millin refrains from condemnation, although the evidence she lists as to his meth ods is hardly flattering. Through it all she finds him somewhat of romanticist
 He had gone to Africa as a youth whose physicians had given him up, and he had made g. million before he was 20. Things moved fast in Africa. In those days. Then the young man returned to England to take a- degree at OK ford, was bitten by the Empire bug, and turned his unquenchable energies toward making Africa safe for the British. The Jame- son raid crushed him, but he rose again. Then death stopped him.
 One gathers that death was the only thing that could stop him. DARK HAZARD"
 w. R. Burnett's latest is called Dark Hazard" Dark Hazard be- ing dog instead of what it sounds like. MT. Burnett is out to make the conflict between the free and easy way of life and the more restricted attitude seem credible. He does it, not without struggle here and there.
 Jim is a gambler at heart, pre- ferring horses and roulette to most other ways of losing money. His wife wants above everything else security and responsibility. Jim is forced into the dog racing game, which he cordially detests until he sees Dark Hazard He loses his heart to the dog. and it is the dog that is the means of bringing the book to very affecting and well thought-out close.
 MT Burnett's great gift is in appreciating the drama inherent in the commonplace, and Dark Hazard" is a good example of it. THESE ALSO
 Two very curious novels are set ting sail also: "The Gold Fal- con" and "The Kaiser Goes: the Generals Remain"
 The first is an allegorical affair, the writer of which is not named, although is is believed by a good many to have been Henry Will liamson. It is the story of a mans attempt to regain his personal sunrise" (the book calls it that after the spiritual devastation of the war, and it contains a good bit of excellent writing.
 The second is the story of the German revolution and its betray- al, told in the form of a novel. But Theodore Plivier, the author, declares that all the facts and most of the dialog are historically ac- curate, SO that the book actually is a colorful and swiftly moving history.
 Those who are watching the re- peal movement may find another straw in the wind from the book shelves. It is Philip M. Wag- ner's American Wines and How To Make Them a sort of manual for the amateur.
