"I want to know where I stand as a

I saw Mrs. Quimby, without tasting a

"You would have. found as on the

'Magee assured her.
It was on Ketintick that Mrs. Quim-
by showered her attentions, and when
the group-- rose to seek the station,
:maid a consultation of watches that
recalled the commuter who rises at
dawn to play tag with a flippant train,
Ir. Magee heard her say to the rail-
road roan In a heartfelt aside:
"I don't know as I can eVerthank

lone and wasted, to hear that there's

"Woolt I?" replied Kendrick warmly.
"Alas. Quimby, it will make me a very
ppy man to give your husband his
silence."
The first streaks of dawn were in
the aky when the hermits of Baldpate
:lied through the gate into the read,
waving goodby to Quimby and his

the farewell.

place. If I'd known when 1 Saw you

things you had up your sleeve I'd

"But I hadn't anything pp my'
sleeve," protested Magee.
"Maybe." replied the agent, winking.
"There's some pretty giddy stories go-
ing around about the carryings on up'
at Baldpate -shots fired and strange
lights flashing. Doggone it1 The only
thing that's happened 'here in years,
and I wasn't in on it. I certainly wish
you'd put me wise to it."
Two drooping figures entered the sta-
tion -the mayor and his faithful nieu-
tenant, Max. The dignity of tbe for-
mer had faded like a flower, and the
same withered simile raight have been
applied with equal force to the aceus-

They filed , out upon the platform.

"A Merry one to you," growled Ca

The Reuton train reared up to them
through the gray morning and paused
impatiently at Upper Asquewan Falls
Aboard it clambered the hermits7ama-
teur • and prc•fessional. Mr. Magee
from the platform waved goodby to
the agent standing forlorn in the sta-
tion door. He watched the building
wail it waii only a blur in the dawn.
A khidly feeling for it was in hie
heart.'‘ After- ill, it had- been

the -smoker. On his way he paused
at the seat occupied by the ex-hertnit
of Baldpate and fixed hie eyes on the
pale blue necktie Mr. Peters had ream,
rected for his return to the World of
men. • 1t7"Pretty, ain't r remarked the her-
mit, seeing whither Mr. Magee's gaze
drifted. "She picked it. -I didn't ex-
actly'' like it wben she first gave it to
me, but I see my 'mistake now. I'm
wearing It home as a sort of a white
flag bf trnce-or almost white. Do
you 'know, Mr. Magee, I'm somewhat
nervous about what I'll say when I
come loto her presence again -about
my inaugural addross, you might put
it. What would be your conversation
on such an occasion? If you'd been
away from a wife for flve years what
would you say when you drifted
back?"
"That would depend," replied Magee
"on tae amount of time she allowed
me for my speech."
"You've hit the nail on the head," re-
plied Mr. Peters admiringly. "She's
quick. She's like lightning. She won't
give me any time if she can help it
That's why I'd like to have a wonder-
ful speech all ready -something that
,would hold her spellbound and tongue
tied until 1 finisbed. It would take a
literary classic to do that"
"What you want," laughed Magee,
"is a speech with the punch."
"Exactly," agreed Mr. Peters. "I
guess I won't go over to Brooklyn the
minute I hit New York. I guess Pli
study the lights along the big street
and brush elbows with the world a bit
before I reveal tnyself to her. Maybe
if I took in a few shows -but don't
think I won't go to her. My mind is
made up. And I guess she'll be glad
to see me too, in her way. I got to
fix it vvith her, though, to vome back
to my postcard trade in the summers.
th
I wonder what she'll say to that. May-
be she could stay at e inn under an
assumed name while I was hermiting
up at the shack."
He laughed softly.
Then Mr. Magee went forward into
the smoking care Long rows of red
plush seats, unoccupied save for the
mayor and Max, greeted his e3re. He
strolled to where they sat, about half-
way down the car, and lighted an after
breakfast cigar. •
Max Slouched in the unresponelve
company of a cigarette on one gide of
the car; across the aisle the mayor of
Renton leaned heavily above a card
table placed between two, seats,. He
was playing solitaire.
Magee looked on, only half interest-
ed. Then suddenly his interest grew.
He watched the mayor bend in two
piles; he saw that the deck from which`
he built was thick. A, weld htiseddon'

"I never knew how it was played,"
he saki.
oa'omething told Mr. Magee that he
ougbt to rise and drag Kendrick away
from that table. Why? He did not
know. Still, it ought to be done: But
the look in Kendrick's eyes showed
r J clearly that the proverbial wild horiese
could not do it then.
i "Tell me how it's played," went on
1 Kendrick, trying to be calm.
f 1 "You must be getting old," replied

e '"Te six of clubs," reheated the

t "Say, she fine now. There ain't
much to it. 'You use two decks, exact-
ly alike, shuffle 'em together -the eight
of hearts, the jack of -'s, -that's

He paused. His huge hand held a

was on his faee. Then he smiled hap-
pily and went on in triumph. -
"And then you build, Mr. Kendrick,"
he said, "the redit and the blacks. Yon
build the blacks on the left and the
reds on the right. Do you get me?
Then -Ban What's the matter?'
For Kendrick had swayed and al-

hell. ,

Miss Evelyn Rhodes, Reporter.

"My Godl- It's, funny, isn't
it7" He latigheti hynterically,
and draviiieutibis handker-

pleasant thing to think About -a pleas-

• "I thought I'd join you," said Pro-
fessor Bolton. "Why, David; what Is
it? What% the tnatter?" -
"Nothing,"' replied Kendrick wildly.
"There's nothing the matter. Let me

piatform and disappeared into the oth-

The trein slowed down -ata small
yellow station. Mr. Magee peered out
the window. nHooperst,own," he read,
"Renton -Ten Miles." He saw Mr.
Max get up and leave the car.
Noiselessly Max returned to the
groep and stood silent, his eyes wide,
his Yellow face Pitiful, the fear of a
deg about to be whipped in his every
• feature.
"Jim," he crled, "Jim! You got to
get me out of this, You got to stand
by •me."
"Why, what's the matter, Lint?" ask• -
ed the mayor in surprise.
"Matter enough," ;whined Max. •"Do
you know what's happened? Well,

placed by a train newsboy. Mr. Ma-

claimed the boy. "Get the Benton

He held °up the paper. • Ire huge
black headlines looked dull and old
and soggy. But the story they told
was new and live and startling.
• "The Mayor Trapped," shrilled the
headlino3. "Attempt to Pass Big Bribe

mits Suicide to 'Avoid Disgrace."
"Give me m paper, boy," said the
mayor. "Yes -a Star." His voice was
even, his face unmoved. He tonic the
sheet and studied it, with an easy
smile. Clinging in fear to his side,
Max read, too. At length Mr. Colgan
spoke, looking up at Magee.
• "So," he remarked; "so -reporters,
eh -you. and your lady friend? Re-
porters for this lying sheet -the Star?"
Mr. Magee smiled up frow his own
copy of the paper.
"Not I," be auswered, "but my lade
friend -yes. It seems she was just
that. A Star reporter you can can her

it was a good story -the story which
the mayor, Sias, the professor and Ma-
gee read with varying emotions there
in the smoking car. Tbe girl had serv-
ed her employers well, and Mr. Ma-
gee, as he read, felt a thrill of pride
in her. Evidently the employers had
felt that same thrill. For in the rap -
tions tinder the pictures, in the head-
lines and in a first page editorial, none
of whith the girl hod written, the
Star spoke admiringly of Its woman
reporter who had done a rnan's work -
who bad gone to Baldpate inn and haft
brought back a gigantic bribe fund
"alone and unaided."
"Indeed?' smiled Mi Magee to him-
self.
In the editorial on that first page the
triumphant cry of the Star arose to
shatter its fellows in the heavens. At

which his paper alone of all the 'Bea-
