“Xo! " said Kitty.
"Well—good-bye.” Pick started for
the door and then stopped—a curious
little smile had come over his face. He
knew the old spirit of comradeship
the old interests of the "small-time
artists' ** life. He came back again,
smiling broadly--and stood just hack of

"The Fix Quigleys are on the hill at
Albany . Shall I give ’em your love?"
Kitty's face brightened with a grow
ing flame of interest.
*'The Quigleys! I haven't seen ’em in
four years. I’d like to see Marne again—
and the bunch!" Her voice took on a
far-away reminiscent lone. "IT WAH
FIN. SOMETIMES!"
"Most games is fun sometimes—and
most of ’em Is—HELI./--sometlmeB,"
said Dick, with alow stress. "Good
bye."
Ho went to the door, then stopped.
He had another inspiration.
"Kitty!—"
••Well?"
Dick came back again.

but what do you care?" He waited a
moment to achieve his full effect of
stimulating avarice, curiosity and lone
liness for the old life, for the old
"bunch." and ambition—such ambition
as might still flicker in the ease-lapped
soul of a little vampire Kttty Claire.
"So long!" he concluded, and went as
far as turning the handle of the door
aud picking up his big leather bag
itty wondered aloud.
"The man gets all the fat in that
sketch, I suppose?"
"Star part for the girl." Pick was J
very sure of himself now. "Good-bye."
He started down the corridor.
"I’m coming—I’ll go!" cried Kitty
Claire.
"You will?" Dick was like most peo
ple who scheme and plan for u thing.
When they get that "consummation do
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
k hanged again past all her willing.
Kitty's Philosophy.
"I can’t stand it here! I’ll bo sorry,
so will you, but I’fl go!"
Somehow now that the moment had
(omo—the moment toward which Dick’s
every effort had been tending for the
past month, there was just a simple
of-courseness about ii 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 l^e-
lloy 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
life.
Dick went forward to kiss the girl be
bad won—at last.
"Let's wait!" cried Kitty scarcely un
derstanding her own motive. "1 know
I’m a fool—but he’s such a queer Kid." j

[US. LYSANDER JOHN AP-
Pt.ETON put down her news
paper with a look of deep con-
As a member of the Sisterhood
uf Struggling Women she felt that
1 some incentive to struggle had been
left out of her life.
The account of the meeting: of the
Sisterhood of Struggling Women told
much of the brutality of man. Dele
gate after delegate bore witness to
the habits of husbands of demand-
ti lrt t their wives account for
every cent they spent. Mrs. T.ysander
John had never been held to account,
and. overwhelmed with the passion
for martyrdom which is now' engulf
ing pep seN, she felt that she had
1 been wronged.
"He hasn’t asked it,” she. thought,
but 1 know that he is wondering
what I did with the ten dollars he
gave me yesterday. I will put my
self 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 1
! shirked my share.”
That evening, when l.ysander John
! had retired behind his newspaper and
was .settling (o his own satisfaction
the Mexican problem, his wife began:
"You gave me $10 yesterday.”
l.ysander John looked over his pa-
! per. nodded, and went back to Huerta.
Hearing his wife's voice again, lie
absent-mindedly began to fumble in
the pocket where ho kept his cash.
“I am prepared." he heard his wife
i say. “to account for every cent I have
; spent of it.”
Lysander .John was deciding that If
he Were Wilson lie would let the
Mexicans fight it out, and was inter
rupted in the soothing thoughts of
how Lysander John Appleton, Presi
dent of the United States, had. by his
■ masterly brain, restored peace to our
warring neighbor by the following
monologue:
“Ice man, 10 cents; 33 cents for
i milk; $1.73 for having your suit
pressed; 15 cents, starch; 5 cents
bluing; 33 cents, meat; 2 cents, soup
bone; 11 cents, silk twist; 11 cents
ditto; 11 cents, ditto; 5 cents, tape; -t
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,
ditto: 12 cents, dit ”
But she read no more, for Lysander
John, reaching across the table, tore
the list from her hand and stamped it
on the floor.
“For heaver's sake,” he cried, "why
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 ii
on dittoes if you like, hut keep still
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 pennj
there wouldn't be insane asylums to
hold them.”
But somehow Mrs. Lysander John
was not satisfied. Those who long to
, suffer martyrdom seldom are.

"Glad you came along, Captain."
said the Chief with his strong, steady,
sure-of-itself smile. The man was of

the assumption of case that had carried
him through Mom battles and the con

"This ought to he an interesting case.

the man on guard outside he called:
’‘Fergeant. keep everyone away from
that window."
Now was Ijarry 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 lie 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 a ml fear
threatened to burst from his heart and

Holbrook’s eyes flashed and his lips
tightened. He straightened up. alert
and business-like, and surve>ed the
whole room hurriedly -then lie paused
In front of the desk something arrested

to penetrate his consciousness.
He suddenly became aware of Flagg s

laugh.
Donnell turned again to his guard

intent on keeping out any intruder who
might come near enough to threaten
the case of the State versus the mur

Holbrook venturd a little exhalation.
He had l'airly 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
tiie 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

smiles and sighs, the tender wistful

straight, heavy brows that had a w r ay
of lifting 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
when he searched for places for an
enemy hid behind the cactus or the j
mesa or the shifting dunes of treacher
ous sand.
Back of those eyes plan and deter
mination were forming. But was it
love or chivalry that spurred him now?
