CHAPTER VH
'SYNOPSIS
Released trona prison atter serv-
ing fifteen yearn for a niau'der he
didn't commit, !Mark Grant goes
to the office of a a lawyer named
Fosdick to colleet a legacy ?eft
to him while he was in, prison.
When Fosdick tells him he will
baye to wait, Mark accepts an in-
vitation to a party to' help a
young man named Teddy Banks
win a bet with Archie Landon.
Although Mark tells them his real
name, Archie introduces him as
"Stewart Byram." At the party
Mark meets Burleson, the man
who sent him to prison, and Burle-
son does not recognize him, and
Mark decides not to reveal his
identitl to Pam until he finds the
real murderer. Fosdick learns' of
his -deception, but keeps the se.c-•
ret for reasons of his own. Burle-
son is walking home from his of -
flee when he meets Pam. They
are talking about a young mian
Pam likes, Burleson remembere
the young man at the .party, who
looked vaguely familiar to him.
He asks, "What sort is he, Pam?"
Pam did not reply• at once; they
had . come to a .crossing and Burleson
observed that she took advantage of
it to hurry him across and, point out
the magnificence of a fioristls, display.
"Those are blue carnations. I don't
like them; they're unnatural."
"I see that .I'll have to observe this
blue carnation young man, myself,"
Burleson retorted dryly.
She laughed delightedly. "I wtsb
you would! You'll like him; he isn't
like -like-"
"Archie Landon?" •
She was indignant. "Archie's such
a social idiot; he only dances and
plays .bridge and keeps tag on -••,Aunt
Lynn's social list!"
"Well, that's more than most of us
can do!"
"You wouldn'a want vie to marry
Archie Landon, would you?"
"No! But I don't believe you'd pay
any ,attention to my `wants'; you're
too modern."
"I wonder 'why you're so nice with
me when we're alone together, Uccle
Herbert?" She leaned Cher head back
to look• up -at him: "You're really jel-
ly, and you're terrible, sometimes!"
"I lose my temper, Pamela; that's
my trouble," he admitted; "you see,
I've got the devil of a temper. Per-
haps this new young man of yours
will rouse'it." ' . -
"You'll. rouse mine it you.' all him
'my young man'!"
He laughed, a Tittle grimly. His
mood with the girl was passing; that
old gray look that -the doctors were
fighting, settled down .. on his clean
face. He had 'a big nose like a hawk's
and his eyes were too near together,
but -saving the look of temper in the
eyes themselves -it was not a notab-
ly 'harsh face. They walked on for a
while silent, . then Pam caught at his
arni 'again, nestling her hand under
his elbow. It had stopped snowing

peepefi. at hint as they parted topass '
through a sCrOrd, at, the corner, He
did lose hie °temper! She lagged a
,:little; he had to wait at, , joie other
side for her ,to -come up, but she pre-
tended she :had been dodging motors.
He looked at her shrewdly and knew
he had frightened her. -'
'"I'm sorry," he said,. more consid-
eratetly, "ask something else, Pam.-
YQu can't have that bit of jade! Be-
fore I die I'm going to smash it."
"I wish you'd tell me all about it,
then!" she pleaded.
"I expect to tell the Angel Gabriel,"
he said, "but no one else."
She smiled, shaking her head at,
him, but she said no more about the
jade 'god. Something intervened, too,
to sweep it, trim her thoughts. They
:had come to another corner, waiting
for the traffic. Suddenly she c tught
his arm.
"Look!" she said softly, "don'tyou
see that tall man getting into the bus?
See, he's had to wait for that old was
man and the child -to go first. He
doesn't see us -that's 'Stetwart By -
ram," . •
It was a moment before Burleson
found the young man in the crowd at
the curb. Then Mark stepped up and
began to cls itb to the to of the bus.
Seen in profile thus, his face 'showed
clean-cut and pale. Burleson• studied
it; the bull's eye in the tower flash-
ed white again and they crissed ov-
er, the big bus swaying past on the
other side.
"Did yousee him?" Pam asked eag-
erly.
He nodded. "You say he's Landon's
friend?
"Archie brought him. You remem-
ber; don't you?"
Burleson assented, musing. "Yes,
I noticed him. I wonder if Landon
always knows his friends?" he added
dryly.
w He did not hear the girl catch her
breath; she gave him a quick side-
long glance from under her dark lash-
es, and then looked away. She was
angry -the blood ' rushed , up to her
hair. •
"Do you mean you don't like his
looks?" she asked after a moment.
He turned quickly; he had appar-
ently forgottenher. "I meant nothing
of the kind," he replied briefly, "he's
extraordinarily • like -'a man I knew
once -in profile, that's all. But you
say Landon' brought hind; and he's a
Byrom?"
"That's what he's called," ' she was
i11 at ease. Fo'sdick's! horrid stare
,came back to her. "Whom does he
look like, Uncle?" '
they had come now to a corner
where some taxis were signalling for
fares. • He called one and. ,put.her in
it..
"You go home," he said 'authorita-
tively, "I'm going to stop at, the club."
'But she leaned out, :calling_ to him.
"Whom does he look like, Uncle Her-
bert? I've got to know!"
He seemed surprised at her per-
sistencee he answered with a shrug,
shutting the door On her.
"Look like?' Oh, like a dead mean!"
and he ganre his awn address' to the
taxi-driver, .lifting his hat to her Pune-

"You deserve a thrashing, you young reprobate,"
' 'Ue Gland the "4Id ;lawyer in ;b,1
usual • rndod; hr? .looked Teddy niter
with' his lizard eye.-,,
"You've been, gauthld}ig again," lie,
remarked .dryly, ."drinking, too,. I
should imagine from Your ey a. O'
course you're atter, ;money.'
Teddy nodded, not at all abashed,
but seating "himself on the edge of
the table opposite and dangling his
walling -snick between his knees.
"I'm broke," he admitted cheerful-
ly; "stony broke!"
"Humph!" Fosdick began to turn
over some papers. He had no valid
excuse for 'holding up the legacy, but
he wished he had. He despised the
young man ,Heartily; there was noth-
ing in Teddy's make-up that appealed
to him. "I suppose You're in debt,
too, as usual?" he 'snapped.
"Not so deep, Teddy assured him
affably; "I got five hundred out • of
Landon on a wager, got it cold!" and
helaughed uproariously, suddenly re-
calling Landon's age at subsequent ev-
ents.
Fosdick swung his chair around' and
eyed him -viciously. '-'You're a young
reprobate," he observed dryly, "what
was the wager about?" I didn't know
Landon could afford to lose that
much."
"'Loss it?" Banka laughed again.
"He did more than that --the ,burnt live
hundred dollar's up in a rage-"
Fosdick, who valued money and
hadhad to work for it, stared hard
at young Banks. "He's drunk," he de,-
cided, frowning at him darkly.
But Teddy, 'enjoying his own joke
at Landon's expense, explained. . He
explained in detail, even to the fight
in the smoking room and the holo-
caust of the money.
"Mrs. Lynn bad frozen me out.
She's down on me, and I vowed I'd
get even. I have! She's invited the
fellow in and .had him to dinner. And
now," he gurgled "with mirth, "Lan -
don's !black with rage because he's
making love to -Pamela Rodney! Lan -
don's dead set that way himself,- and
he can't do a thing -not a billy thing!
Mrs. Lynn would fire him if she found
out he'd brought a 'fellow in out of
the :street, you know; he might have,
been a whitewing, anything, ona wag-
er!"
Fosdick, who had listened, in sheer
astonishment, found the way to Pant
and Mark in the tearoom. He knew',
at once how the girl -had been fool-
ed, He reddened to his scanty gray
hair; he ought to have told ,Burleson
yesterday! -
"You deserve a thrashing, yon
young reprobate!" he said to Teddy
Banks, with the candor of an old map: -
who •tad been a friend of Teddy's
grandfather and 'guardian of the
Banks • money for thirty todtd' years•:
"You and Landbn both deserve 'to be
sent up for disorderly conduct! You've
done a pretty piece of, work between
you. You ,,don't happen to know the
man you introduced, into Burleson's
house, to his sister-in-law • and his
niece, de you? Of course : not! You
picked up a man' in the street and
Landon palmed him off on them as a
friend of his! That's the idea - a
friend of . his and yours,, too?"
Teddy laughed . comfortably. "Not
on your life; I don't come into it;
Mrs. Lynn had cut me out. It's up
to Landon."
"Up to Landon -Yes!" tthundiered
the old lawyer, striking his'flst on his
desk, "but it's up to you, too, because
you made the bet; you got Landon
into it. He's a dumb fool, anyway!
Now, I ask you, young man, who's
this fellow? D'you know now?"
Teddy waved h'is walking --stick air-
ily. "Search me!" he said.

inatauce, .a second -crop .can be 'tar
vested in a siAgle season,
Small vegetables like lettuce and
radish require rows only 15 inches
apart. Beets, beans, carrots, peas.
and; spinach. need : a• Tittle more space
between, while potatoes, corn and
Staked tomatoes musk have a couple
of feet -to thirty inches'. Space may
be saved with the latter type if some-
thing quick -maturing suck as lettuce
and spinach are 1planted in between.
The ;bigger things ;will not need the
full room at first, and by the time
they do the early crops will be out of
the way.
If room is 'extremely limited, then
experts advise confining vegetables
to such heavy yielders as beans, let-
tuce, carrots, beets; onions, celery and
possibly, staked tomatoes,. A 20 -foot
row of any of these still supply many
nmea'is,foi: 'a small fami'l'y. The expert
who ap'Preciates garden freshness will'
also include peas and corn. These
things take rip more room, and at
least 25 feet' of 'row is needed for a
worthwhile crop, but only from: the
garden, right at the door can really
fresh trn and peas be obtained.
Hot Bede
A hot bed for starting garden seeds
early is usually prepared in March. It
consists of a bed fresh horse man
ure, which supplies the heat about 18
inches deep. On' this, two or three
inches of fine soil is placed and alter,
the bed has heated up and then, cool-
ed down again (a matter of three or
four days) the seed is sown in rows
a few inches apart. The bed is pro-
tected by rough boarding along the
side andon top, and sloping towards
the south about 10 to 18 -inches above
the bed is placed a window sash well
glassed. If only a few plants are

Teddy Banks had been losing money'
since he won his wager and -forced
the indignant Landon to pay up. The
young man had the habit of losing
money, but he had inherited a good
deal froin those unitnlyoriant people
whom, he called the "Mudbanks." The
only difficulty about it was the fact
that it was tied ttp and old Fosdick,
that dry-aseduSt, Cillety old lawyer,
had charge of it. rThus it happened

Messrs. Jones and Messrs. Brown both make shoes -shoes
exactly similar in qnality and style. Messrs. Jones do
not advertise. Messrs. Brown do, and sell a very much
greater quantity than Messrs. Jones in consequence. Who
pays for Messrs. Brown's advertising?
Not Messrs. Brown -because their profit -on the qnan-
tity sold -is Messrs. Jones' profit multiplied many times.
Not the public -because they get, for $4.00, shoes of a
quality for which Messrs. Jones charge 450. Not the
retailer=because the profit is the same in both cases.
No one pays for advertising. It is an economy -not a
charge. It does for the operation of selling what Messrs.
Brown's machin'ery does for the operatiQn of making
shoes -speeds ,it up, and multiPlies its efficiency. It makes
possible big -scale production and so reduceg eosta,
