cause 1 shall tell her."
Charles shook his head.
"All that cuts no ice, Lutman,
he said, because in any case I'm
going to tell her myself"
Lutman glanced at him quickly.
"I think not, Charles. You're
not the heroic sort"
I'm going to tell her everything
that I agreed to the plan to
swindle her, that I conspired with
you and Jim AssOn. :"
That's grand, Charles. And
then she'll fall into your arms, eh ?
I dare say she'll come to see you in
the pen and fix the wedding day."
'She won't marry Jim Asson,
anyway"
"Oh, yes, she WILL"
'Not when she knows"
"She's not to know. You're not
going to have the chance of telling
her. Until she's safely married you
won't be seeing her again. ar
ranged that at lunch today. JAG
queline is to retire to some quiet
retreat, and the wedding is to take
place-you'd like to know where,
Charles, wouldn't you? But I'm
the only one who knows that at
present. Even Jim and Jacqueline
haven't been told yet. And Mrs.
Smith quite agrees that Jacque-
line shouldn't see you again; she
thinks you're bad influence"
The solicitor was silent for some
moments, frowning. Then his
hands clenched and he faced Lut-
man again with a dangerous look
in his eyes.
"Lutman," he said, "I don't
doubt that what you've said is true.
I've discovered that about you: il
you say you'll do a thing you al
ways do it,"
Lutman, with cynical smile on
his lips, made deep bow.
"You say you're going to hide
Jacqueline and keep her away from
all chance of hearing the truth I'M
til she's married, and don't doubt
you can do it. But she's not going
to marry Jim Asson, and I'll give
you one more chance. Give me
that deed"
Lutman turned and took step
toward the door, but Charles
reached it first and planted him
self with his back against it.
The Colonel raised his eyebrows.
I'm in rather a hurry" he said.
II came by boat, you know, and I
want to catch the tide"
"Cut out the talk, Lutman. I
want that deed"
Lutman's eyes narrowed.
eff you're not darned foo.
Charles, you'll stand clear Of that
door,"
The solicitor did not move.
"Jacqueline is not marrying Jim
Asson," he said, land you don't
leave here until you've handed over
the deed.''

angrily. Sims going to marry

said. I'm dreadfully sorry

The girl, seeing the look on her

that this was going to be a battle

Jim Asson, anyway. IF you want
to get me off your hands mother,
you've got to find someone better
than Jim Asson. I'm not too par

"But my dear, you promised
and everything's arranged"
"Sorry, mother, but everything's
disarranged."
"But I don't understand, Jacque-
line. You told me that you'd
signed the deed"
$50 I have. But the deed means
nothing until I'm married, and in

I'm afraid it's a blow to you,
mother, but the marriage with Jim

But, Jacqueline, why? IF you

"No, I've just found my senses
and taken leave Of Jim Asson. I'm
not marrying him, and that's
final"
Mrs. Smith sat for some mo-
ments frowning at her. The girl
meant it: there was no doubt about
that. Experience had taught Mrs.
Smith that when Jacqueline set her
jaw in that obstinate way and held
up her chin at that particular
angle, no coaxing or storming or
weeping would prevail against her.
But never before had she so much
regretted that her daughters chin
was not nodded on less deter

queline," she said impatiently.

"Oh, cut that CUT" interrupted
Lutman with sudden Impotence

Of talk. Call the police, will you ?
All right-call them" He picked
up the telephone receiver and held
it out. Call the police, Charles
They can take us both to the sta
ton together"
Charles made no move, and Lut-
man slammed the receiver back
onto the hook.
"You should have known me bet
ter than to try to pull that sort of
stuff. Calling the police isn't 60

you know that l know it. You

The Colonel smiled.
TITS not a good place to keep

expert craftsman, but it took me
rather less than minute to pick
the lock of that drawer. Anyone
could do it with hairpin. But
let's keep to the point"
1.-The point is, Lutman, that
you're not leaving this Office with
that deed in your possession"
Lutman shook his head.
1.-The point is" he said, that
calling the police wouldn't help you
to what you want, Charles. What
you want is Jacqueline Smith"
He shrugged his shoulders. II gave
you your chance, and you wouldn't
take it. I offered to let you take
Jim Asson's place, but you
wouldn't listen to the suggestion.
But if you won't take the girl on
those terms, you won't have her at
ALL"
"I can stop Asson from marry
ing her. And can stop her from
being swindled out Of her fortune"
But at what price!" smiled
Lutman. It can hardly imagine
Jacqueline regarding you as the
ideal husband, Charles, if she
knows the truth about YOU" His
smile disappeared. "And if any,

know the truth. She'll know just

with a hand on the handle of tn

Trying a little high-class burg.
larry, Charles. Fairly successfully
as you will observe"
Charles stepped quickly to the
safe, glanced inside, and faced Lut-
man again.
Signed in the wrong place, was
it, Charles? That would have been
quite an ingenious idea if it hadn't
been so obvious that you were
lying. That has always been your
weakness, Charles: you never car
lie without looking like a con-
science-stricken schoolgirl"
Give me back that deed, Lut-
man."
Lutman ignored the demand.
1--we never trusted that con-
science of yours" he went on, land
since you met Jacqueline Smith it
has been less reliable than ever.
I've been watching you pretty
closely, and your game all along
has been dreadfully transparent.
You've been playing for time, try
ing every scheme your fertile brain
could invent to hang things up and
postpone the marriage, hoping, no
doubt, that before that swine Lut-
man could work his foul designs,
Jacqueline might hear of the leg
acy. Someone, perhaps, might
send her a copy of the New York
Press with the whole story
Splashed across the front page"
Charles made gesture of i'm
patience.

First the draft agreement at
Cobenzil," continued Lutman, land
the yarn that it had to be regis
tered in London. That wasn't SO
bad, Charles, because you were the
lawyer and nobody was in a posi-
ton to contradict you. And then
this deed was signed in the wrong
place-that wasn't so good, be-
cause if a deed isn't signed in the
right place the mistake is quite
obvious when one examines the
document. I'm not a lawyer, but
you can take it from me that this
deed"--he tapped his breast pocket
lis all in apple pie order. And
you can take it from me that when
Jim and Jacqueline are safely
married it will be produced and
put into effect"
What concerns me at the mo-
ment, Lutman, is that you've stolen

Quite apart from not loving Jim

I can't go through with it. I'm not

you wouldn't believe me if did.
Besides, there are one or two
things I mean to find out for my

But it's no use arguing about that

Sport on Light Tackle.

WHY not have some fun with hard
head this season? They usually
are classed as non-game fish, but If
you use light tackle it is very easy
to turn them into sport fish. This
department always has preached the
gospel Of light tackle, and this Is one
case where you can use the lightest
and still stand little chance Of losing
either fish or equipment.
Personally we use three
thread cuttyhunk line and =
light steel bait casting rod, and
even the biggest croaker never
has taxed this to the limit.
On that tackle we get sport that
never is had by those using nine
thread line and heavy steel or bamboo
rods. It Is plenty Of fun to pull In
hardhead, but the sport is doubled
when they can give you an argument.
Some few anglers down on the bay use
light, timber rods and cotton thread,
and the skill required to bring in a
croaker on that sort Of tackle almost
can be compared to that needed in
trout fishing.
If you get down to solomons this
year, ask Eddie Bowen about cotton
thread fishing. He will give you .
