"So long!” he concluded, and went as far as turning the handle of the door and picking up his big leather bag Kitty wondered aloud. ‘‘The man gets all the fat In that sketch, I suppose 7" ‘‘Star part for the girl.” Dick was very sure of himself now. “Good-bye.'’ He started down the corridor. Tra coming—I'll go!” cried Kitty Claire. You will?" Dick was like most peo ple who scheme and plan for a thing. When they get that "consummation de voutly to be wished” they suddenly re lax, and scarcely know how to accept their success. Kitty spoke with a feeling of breath less desire to get It all over quickly— quickly before her fickle little mind changed again past all her willing. Kitty’s Philosophy. ‘‘I can’t stand It here! I’ll be sorry, *o will you, but I’ll go!" Somehow now that the moment had come—the moment toward which Dick’s every effort had been tending for the past month, there was just a simple of-eourseness about it all. It seemed the obvious thing to do. Emotion was a .quality from which Kitty felt for a mo ment walled and protected by all the emotion she had been feeling from that moment long weeks ago when Dick Le- Roy had come back from his "big scream west of Chicago”—when Ken neth Nelson with his Fifth avenue tai lored look had. crossed her vision—and when Charles Nelson, the Samson whom she nor circumstance could conquer, had marched sternly and strongly out of her Ufa Dlok went forward to kiss the girl he bad won—at last. "Dot's wait!” cried Kitty scarcely un derstanding her own motive.

Sure you’d been stuck on 'him—except for the truth of that poetry gag about ‘a little less'—an’ there is a block between you!" Kitty pondered on aloud—putting into words some of her own possibilities for J finer womanhood—the fineness she and circumstances had starved and battered about and beaten into subjection—the womanhood w’hose only revenge was a subtle stirring now and then—a puzzle ment to Kitty, who scarcely realized how different she might have been! ‘First, it was to get square—and I did!

The man was of granite mold. Duty was his fetish. And for him there was no way but that the criminal must be ground by the ma chinery of the law. Steel were his eyes, gray his hair, firm his mouth and jaw —and he had the firm strength of a man to whom right was absolute, and a criminal—a criminal! And into his sturdy power Aline Graham must soon come when once he had read the dan gerous evidence of that room from which she had fled less than an hour ago. A crisp interest in criminals and criminology w r as all that showed on Holbrook’s face as he answered with the assumption of ease that had carried him through Moro battles and the con flict with the Russian bear. "This ought to be an interesting case. Chief. This reading a tale a dead man can’t tell.” "Shall we look It over unofficially till fhe Inspector gets here?" asked the Chief. "The Ix>rd loves the Irish,” remarked Larry piously to himself But aloud all he said was an indifferent "Yes." With a bit of a challenge in his voice, the Chief waved his hand around the room and smiled. "And now, my lad, let’s see some of that fine work they say you used to do in Manila .” His Chance. * "They were stringiri you, Chief.” said Holbrook, tilting back on his heels and smiling with the bland innocence of a clierub. "Was that window up when you got here. Donnell?” asked Dempster In a businesslike tone. He would show this young Captain some fine work of his own. "Yes, Chief. Everything is as it l£tys/*’ Dempster began to examine the floor, ? ,ow,y rr*”*, T lM 't e 'V n,U u We have moved to our new store, Donnell followed in his wake. And Hoi- ’ electric flash lantern and followed his trail across the window sill and out into the deep gloom of the night. And to the man on guard outside he called: “Sergeant, keep everyone away from that window.” Now was Larry Holbrook’s chance. Intermittent flashes of light showed that Dempster was making a careful search outside the house. Holbrook determined to make as careful a search of the room. Keeping a wary eye on Donnell, who was sturdily stand ing guard at the window, he searched rapidly about the desk and Its vicinity. There were papers which he must not allow to rustle ever so slightly—there was that pitiful little roll of treasury bills, letters, typed briefs, but no clew A little moan of impatience and fear threatened to hurst from his heart and wing its betraying path across his lips. Holbrook’s eyes flashed and his lips tightened. He straightened up, alert and business-like, and surveyed the whole room hurriedly—then he paused in front of the desk—something arrested his attention—something was striving to penetrate his consciousness. He suddenly became aware of Flagg's clenched left hand—there was somethin*, sinister and Intent in that clutching white fist—the tense hand of the dead man seemed alive with awful meaning. Holbrook darted one quick look at Donnell. Then he caught those cold fingers in his own warm grasp. The clutch of the dead man did not relax. Judson Flagg seemed to have carried with him beyond the grave the power to hold what he desired—to demand his price. Donnell coughed. Holbrook quickly dropped that resisting dead hand and began fingering the roll of bills with a show of. interest. There was quiet again. And again Holbrook took that clammy dead hand In his. He pried at the fingers with grim determi nation. They yielded their secret. Holbrook clutched dizzily at the desk —he felt he must have some support in this moment of agonizing revelation. Be fore he had feared—now—he KNEW! "Aline! Good God!" burst from his tortured lips. Donnell turned quickly at the sound of his voice. “Did ye speak to me, sor?” "Yes—what did you find outside there?" asked I^arry, recovering himself quickly. "Nothing yet ’’ "Nothing much inside here either,” said the captain with an easy little laugh. Donnell turned again to his guard duty at the window. lie was quite intent on keeping out any intruder who might come near enough to threaten the case of the State versus the mur derer of Judson Flagg. Holbrook venturd a little exhalation. He had fairly been holding his breath. He wanted to shout and exult, but he controlled himself. He gave one wry glance at the emerald brooch, put that dangerous bit of evidence in the pocket of his dinner coat, shut Flagg’s fingers back into their gripping position and then carefully wiped off his hands on the black cloth of his suit. Even in the big moments of life the prejudices of our own youth and the youth of our race remain. Holbrook had not fan cied the task of touching this dead man; he wiped off the feeling of that contact and the memory of those clammy fingers on his clothes. Shielding Aline. » And now having satisfied his boyish squeamishness the soldier looked about for the next task he must perform. He was alert and purposeful in every taut nerve. The man who with daredevil recklessness would risk his life for h cause of .freedom that was not his own must show the utmost cold caution in protecting that cause. DUTCH DUGAN WOULD AID NICARAGUA—ALINE GRAHAM WAS CAPTAIN HOL BROOK’S CAUSE! I^arry Holbrook had two distinguish ing marks of his race- flexible 1 ipH that foi'owed his mood and drooped or twitched quickly from smile to disguis- features and he was Idly examining the desk as the curtains parted and Chief Dempster came back from the fruitless search.

Bet over his eyes were straight, heavy brows that had a way of llftfhg at the corners like a French man’s hands. The lips were fixed in determination now Larry Holbrook would fight. The brows were set In straight lines of strength and beneath their battlements his eyes were half closed. They wore the expression they had learned to take j when he searched for places for an | enemy hid behind the cactus or the mesa or the shifting dtines of treacher ous sand. Back of those eyes plan and deter mination were forming. But was it love or chivalry that spurred him now? The tin box Flagg had not found time to lock In his safe caught Hol brook’s eye. He crossed to it quickly, picked it up and tried in deft silence to open it—and then Donnell’s voice star tled him: “How many' times have I got to tell you to stand back there?” The voice rang out in the grim still ness some venluring soul for whom the room of violent death held a morbid charm skulked off In the night. At the sound of the voice, Holbrook had .set the siage of his own actions with deft quickness. He idly shifted the box back of him, smacked his lips speculatively to < ; over any noise he had made and gazed In a general clew- searching way about the room. But Donnell was still intent ori dangers from outside. Holbrook moved with rapid-fire action now. He went hastily over to his top coat and put the japanned dispatch box in the sleeve. On his face was an ex pression of frantic- bafflement that was slowly turning to anguish. But with lightning play a smile illuminated his Statement in one-third the Time ‘‘The greatest labor saver we have in our office. . .

LY SANDER JOHN AP PLETON put down her news paper with a look of deep con cern. As a member of the Sisterhood of Struggling Women she felt that some incentive to strugglo had been left out of her life. The account of the meeting of ths Sisterhood of Struggling Women told much of the brutality of man. Dele gate after delegate bore witness to the habits of husbands of demand ing that their wives account for every cent they spent. Mrs. Lyaander John had never been held to account, and, overwhelmed with the passion for martyrdom which Is now engulf ing her .<ex, she felt that she had been wronged. “He hasn’t asked It." ehe thought, “but I know that he is wondering what I did with the ten dollars he gave me yesterday. I will put my- nclf within the pale of martyrdom and suffer with my sisters by giving him a detailed account hereafter of every cent I spend. When It comes to suffering for the Cause, I will never have it said of me that I : shirked my share." That evening, when Lysander Joh* had retired behind his newspaper and was settling to his own satisfaction the Mexican problem, his wife began: “You gave me $1.0 yesterday.” Lysander John looked over ids pa per, nodded, and w r ent back to Huerta. Hearing his wife’s voice again, he absent-mindedly began to fumble in : the pocket where he kept his cash. “1 am prepared." ho heard his wife .say,’ “to account for every cent I have spent of it,” Lysander John was deciding that If lie were Wilson he would let the Mexicans light it out. and wa>s Inter rupted in the soothing thoughts of how Lysander John Appleton, PresJ- j dent of the United States, had, by his masterly brain, restored peace to our warring neighbor by the following monologue: “Ice man, 10 cents; 35 cents for milk; $1.76 for having your suit pressed; 15 cents, starch; F> cents, bluing; 33 cents, meat; 2 cents, soup bone; 11 cents, silk twist; 11 cents, ditto; 11 cents, ditto; 6 cents, tape; 4 cents, buttons; 16 cents, whalebone; 16 cents, ditto; 10 cents, thread; 10 cents, ditto; 10 cents, ditto; 10 cents, ditto; 12 cents, hooks and eyes; 12 cents, ditto; 12 cents, ditto; 12 cents, j ditto; 12 cents, dit ■“ Hut she read no more, for Lysander John, reaching across the table, tore the list from her hand and stamped it on the floor. "For heaven’s sake.” he cried, "why i tell me all that? What do I care how you spend it, just so you let me alone? Here is another ten. For the sake of Mike go and spend all of It on dittoes if you like, but keep still i about it!’’ "If the men,” he grumbled to him self a little later when alone In his den. "had to listen to the account of how their wives spend every penny, there wouldn’t be Insane asylums to i hold them.” But somehow Mrs. Lysander John was not satisfied. Those who long to ; suffer martyrdom seldom are.
