Jasper Ingram, In Chicago, kept
his secretary busy.
Homer, knowing his intentions
ahead Of the rest Of the world
chafed because he could buy the

was actually writing out the tele

and Mr.. Ingram. from his suite
in the same hotel, summoned him
to come to him at once.
At noon, however, he was free
since Ingram was lunching at the
Civic Club. Alspaugh was just
gathering up his papers, after In
grams departure, when one more
telegram was brought in, a cryp'

begged him to make immediate

CHAPTER XIII
Having washed and made
themselves as presentable as
possible, they felt better and
descended to a supper Of cold
meat and baked beans, Spiced
peaches, a BURBERRY pie and q
pitcher Of milk. They were SO
hungry that this sectional meal
was delicious.
Cathleen was in a strange dual
state induced by fatigue. AL
though agitated by her present
calamitous predicament. the re
suits Of which at home she fore
saw would be intolerable, yet-a
second detached self savored the
strangenesS Of the experience and
enjoyed it.
"I'm so sleepy, Seward-it's be
ing out in the air all day. II
you don't mind, I'm going to bed
as soon as we've finished.
GOOD night, sport-you are q
sport, you know" he said, outside
her door.
Cathleen, for his praise, gave
him warm smile.
But when she had shut the
door, the smile vanished and q
nervous chill shook her. For her
self she saw their misadventure
as Seward did-disconcerting, pro
voking but not serious and, in
certain aspects, amusing. AT
home, she thought sadly, they
would not see it that way. They
would believe her bad.
Stewards time for being sleepy
came the next morning, when q
knock on his door at 2 O'Clock
walked him. He had gone to bed
early, but he had lain awake q
long time.
The prospect Of breakfasting
with Cathleen got him out OF
bed at last.
"It's as good as being mar
ried," he couldn't help saying,
when he took his coffee from her
hand.
Cathleen had slept deeply and
was looking refreshed and lovely
though distract.
"It was nice Of you to get UP
to eat with me-" she said, "but
you weren't thinking Of coming
into town by the train, of course. ~
Certainly. Why not?"
"You should start right away
to look for your carl" she cried

"Tt's been there to steal since

search for the car being delayed
an instant.
"All right" he finally agreed
'but I want it understood that
