Mildred, who stood now with her
back to the window, her red hair a
halo around her pale face and warm
eyes. Charity smiled at her ques-
tioningly, and swiftly Mildred was
at her side.
"You have done more for him
than I ever can. but I'll do my best, .
Mildred said. Her arms went around
Charity's frail body and held her
close
"You don't know what you can do
until you have to, Mildred"
A Gallant Lady.
Timothy still sat far back in his
chair, his eyes studying the fireplace.
He waited a minute before he rose
and went to Charity. He kissed her
and said, You are gallant lady,
Charity Holmes, and great one"
Charity shook her head mo,
Tim. I was just a desperate one.
I couldn't do anything else than
what I did. Now I want to help
solve my brothers murder. Since
you know all this, we had better
find out the rest"
There should be no reason to
have all this come out" Timothy
said. IF I can finish up the case
without these facts being made pub
lie, I surely will"
Charles filled the glasses and
raised his, ITO Charity Holmes!" he
proposed, and the three echoed his
toast as they drank.
How did you make the payments
to Mr.. Whipple?" Timothy asked.
They came by money order from
Mr.. fuckers Office each month"
And this month";"
'Mr. Tucker wrote me that
special assessment on some property
I hold would use all my reserve until
the 28th of the month. Then other
income would be on hand and he
would make the payment as usual"
Whipple's Reply.
what did Mr.. Whipple say to
that?"
"A very characteristic thing. He
laughed and said that he was sur
prised that old Tucker hadn't found
a way to best him out of his remit
lance long before this, but knowing
what he called my strong sense of
duty he was sure I would see that
he got his share"

him, but he told me yesterday that
1t hadn't come. Last night ! phoned

had gone and told him not to for
ward the order"
Did you think Whipple was living
on what you gave him only?"
Charity heSitated before answer
ing. mo, to tell the truth, I didn't,
Tim. I asked him once, and he
just said he had other sources Of
income"
The other payments were in
cash."
Some one here in town, then. I
imagine"
Timothy nodded. ct think so,
too"
Charity thought a few minutes.
well, there are plenty of things
around this town, like any other,
that some one would like to keep
hidden, but Whipple wouldn't
bother with small stuff. Fifty dol
lars is a good deal of money for
any one in this town to have to pay
out"
Looks like you'll have to make
a house toulouse canvass, Tim"
Charles laughed.
"Or study the entire books of the
bank" Mildred added.
Timothy shook his head. MY
idea is that that $50 wasn't drawn
out in one lump"
A car drove up in front, and
Charity peered through the window
curtains to see who it was. Looks
like Matt Pierson to me-" she said.
Charles, go let him in"
Matt Persons hat was on the
back of his head as he stepped into
the living room, but he quickly re-
moved it and took the pipe out of
his mouth to greet Charity.
Come sit down, Matt, and have
a glass of port"
Don't care if I do" and he low
cred himself carefully into the
chair by the fireplace.

Matt" Charles remarked.

only faint curiosity and revulsion.
