"That's it. Only You wouldn'

Jean suddenly. They looked a

said. Gee, Pm sorry. l could use

at Jean.

Bobby found himself seated on
a couch beside Lewis. Lewis light
ed a cigar and said, "Well, it's
like this. Your boss. Hopkins, has
got q special job out there want.
It's a sedan and he wants $4,000
for it."
Bobby gaped at him.

out there that cost that much" "
he said.
''This is a special job, said" "
said Lewis. "Custom-built, and
all. Anyhow, that's the car I want.
Now listen"
He crossed the room suddenly,
went to desk, unlocked draw
er and took out a long, bulky en-
velope. He brought this back and
resumed his seat on the couch.
''In here" he said, netting the
envelope meditatively, 'I've got
some bonds. They have a face
value of $14,500, and they're
good as old wheat in the bin. But
I've got to be careful what l do
with 'em."
He looked at Bobby.
II got these" he said, "from
a friend of mine in Chicago, in
settlement for a debt. As l say,
they're worth a hundred cents on
the dollar, anywhere. But here's
the catch. This friend of mine is
in politics, out in Chi, and he got
the bonds from a bird who runs
a string of dog-racing tracks and
such around that neck of the
woods. : q
The deal was perfectly o. k,
but since then the dog track man
has got into a jam with the coun-
'ty grand jury and they're inves-
tigating all Of his deals. Now, the
trouble is this; those bonds are
registered, and if they once turn
', up anywhere they can be traced
right back to him. And you see,
! it would look bad for this poll
tician friend of mine if it should
become known that he had got
them from this bird who is in
such q JAM"
lie tapped Bobby's knee with
the envelope.
"You know how it is" he said.
"Evcrything was all right-only
it would look bad. It'd be poison,
in fact, plain poison, as far as
my friend is concerned. He just
don't dare have these bonds come
to light until this blows over.
That's why he let 'em go to me
at a discount, and that's why I've
got to do the same thing, because
II don't want to market them at
a bank or brokers' office in the
regular way"
He paused again, and looked at
Bobby fxedly.
"Now then," he went on. Il

tary to Donald Montague, lawyer.
Bobby Wallace, automobile sales
nan, has frequently asked her to
marry him, but Jean delays her
answer.
At The Golden Feather night
club she meets Sandy Harkins
who says he is in Dover on busi-
ness.
Larry Glenn, federal agent,
warns Jean and Bobby against
spending much time in places like
! The Golden Feather. Larry is try

CHAPTER VIII
Mr.. Lewis, like his wife, SEEM
ed to be of friendly disposition.
He was gently jocose with Jean,
assuring her that, Sandy had been
able neither to sleep nor eat prop
erly since he had met her.
"All I've heard" he said, "since
that other night, has been a lot
of stuff about some beautiful
mama with golden hair"
He sat slumped down in his
chair and looked at Jean with sly
impudence.
is that right, Sandy?" she
asked.
'It's been worse than that" {"
said Sandy lugubriously. "It's
getting me down. Pm wasting
away to a shadow"
"Too bad about you," she said
lightly. "You look healt h y
enough"
The music stopped, and Bobby
and Eve came back to the table.
Bobby was duly introduced to Mr..
Lewis, and as they sat down Jean
discovered that her conscience
was trying to make itself heard
again.
"Therc you CO." said Con-
science. you're egginG him on"
Pm rot" said Jean indignant
ly. Cant l say &nythiaG to him ="
"You were jealous when you
saw Sandy with Eve, but you
weren't Jealous bit when Bobby
danced with her." said Conscience.
Il won't listen to you any
longer said Jean firmly.
A ripple of laughter greeted
her rs she emerged from this bit
of self-communion. Bobby had
Just told some funny incident or
other that had occurred that af-
ternoon while he tried to sell an
to a pompous dowag-
er.
"She said, Only twenty-five
hundred? That isn't nearly

Lewis stared at the drink which
he waiter put in front of him
and held the glass cupped in hl'
hand for a long time, studying i
intently.
'Tistcn," he said to Bobby al
last. 'You and I might be able
to do some business, one of these
days"
Bobby leaned forward eagerly
"Yeah," went on Lewis. '1'n

"Okay," said Lewis, good-na
turedly. "Tell you what; wher
we're ready to leave, let's all buzz
out to our place for coupla min
utcs. Then you girls can fix up {
little midnight lunch, and while
you do Mr.. Wallace and l can tall
business. How about it?"
1t was agreed, and the subject
was dropped. There was more
dancing, much gay conversation
and joking, and at last Eve yawn,
ed claborately and announced
that it was getting late. 1t was 1C
O'Clock. They left the night club
and walked half a block to where
q large, expensive sedan was
parked Ey the curb. Lewis un-
locked it and slipped in behind
the wheel; and Jean wondered
vaguely, why he should be want
ing a new car when he already
owned such a fine one.
Fifteen minutes later they drew
up before an ornate apartment
hotel on the western side OF
town. He left the car at the curb,
ushercd them into the lobby and
conducted them up to a sixth
floor suite.
They entered a roomy, we'll
furnished living room. Eve sank
into an overstuffed chair and an
