Christopher Stoynes is being both, ered by a Russian countess and her daughter. fele proposes to Mary Kate O'H-ara that she play the part of his wife for. clay and a half en order to discourage the countess. It means. enough money to Mary to give her brother Martin his opportunity of go• ii g to Germany to study medicine - Mary accepts. She tells her mother she isgoiug on a business trip. Chris- topher meets her at the station at Burlin*ame.. She meets the countess at a dottier party given by, her boss, Gordon Rountree, and the colleens is diacoeer.ged. That night she returns tc Christopher Steynes',house. After site has retired a burglar breaks in; Chris ,boots the burglar; pence take her n .me and .address. She is terri- fied for fear het mother will find out. Che returns home. In the week fol- lowing her .escapade She learns that slie has fallen in love with Christopher Steynet, Mary Kate -then tells Cass Keating, to whom she is engaged,, of this rove, but he just laughs and calls it a passing fancy. Then Christopher+ calls up and says he must see her the t text dey. She meets him and they go to lunch together. Chris tells her! that he had decided not to press the.: chatge a;'ainst the burglar but that the burglar refuses to let it be drop- ped. CHAPTER XXXII. "What" She was once more alert and attentive. - "That's what • he_says. He says that he wants the whole thing to be dragged out into the open." • Mary Bate'» color faded, her eyes were round. "What for?" "Revenge, I suppose." "Revenge! Bet revenge far what?" "Being thot, Maybe." The absurdity of her question and his answer struck the girl suddenly and she laughed. But it was a mirth- less and anxious laugh, and died im- mediately into gravity again. "Yoti ,mean he wants money?" "Gordy -I didn't see hint. But Gordy hinted at tnoney. He wouldn't hear of it!" "But Chris—" She leaned forward on the•table, her eyes puzzled. "My gracious, if a man breaks into your house, and is armed, and terrifies the iwholg, household almost to deaths at Wella, how dares he then—how dares he then to try to—to make terms? He's the offender, he's the one to be punished, if anyone is—" "Exactly! And you're expressins that like a professional lecturer," Chris said when, she paused. His praise brought the happy color to her face. "But that's just where he's a freak, this feller," he went on, "He rather has us over a barrel, and he knows it." "Is he a Socialist?" "He must be. 'Gordy says he's a well educated ulama and appears to have a grievance against everyone who's got a little money. He says he holds feat we have a perfect right to punish hint, for housebreaking, Met that he has his righes, too, and if he. wants to give the whole thing public.

"Gostiy ;say hint in tl'e hospital, hunday, and sort of tried to reason with him—said there's be ne trouble about cleaning him, and so en, but he said he didn't, propose to be let off his sentence because of the privileged rich—" "But all he shows up -the only per- son he hurts—is enter Mary Kate, who had been thinking fast, said bewilder- edly. "Well, exactly!" "But—good heavens—" she whis- pered, turning white. "Nosy, don't worry," said Chris quickly. "We're not going -to let you get in for that, no mater what we do. But thisepoor sap has an hallucination —you're not having potatoes?" "Nothing." Her appetite was dead. Her eyes were bright with fright. "Ile has an hallucination," Chris resumed, "that some stupid intrigue was going on there that hight—he kept hinting, Gordon,says, that it was a married woman of the upper circle 'who was there—" A sharp exclamation of indignation and disgust escaped the girl. She put up her head, her chin high. "Well, exactly, that's what t thought;" the man commented on hes unspoken protest, • "But he probably gets his ideas from Bolshevik journ- als' or from the movies." "But why didn't someone tell him the truth? Tell him I am just An office employee of Mr. Rountree'—" "Gordy did. But ae didn't believe it, He kept sayieg that he would find out who the woman was, because he could identify her, and that when he found out who it. was, he would expose that justas prominently in the papers as his case was exposed!" "Well, the papers wouldn't. run a lot of nonsense on his say-so!" Mary Kate protested, uncomfortably, proud- ly. "No, t-ot exactly. But you know how they play up society stuff, and mystery stuff." "But hew could he say that he could identify me—ho never saw me—he never saw me!" "lie lass he did." l'1*e , Sut you know he 'didn't! The room was pitch black, and he was just at the window—opening the shut- ter—" "But he night have seen you be- fore, Mary. Mightn t he have seen you at Gordy's perhaps—followed ua home—?" "Of course he might," she whis- pered. "He says that whoever you are he can find you—" "To ;nurdert" she ejaculated, inn credulously. "No. To blackmail," Chris could almost laugh at her consternation, "He must be a scoundrel," he repeat. ed. "But then—" she argued, thinging aloud. "But then, if he knew that 1 was cnly a working girl—" ,Chris was watching her interested- ly, asshe formulated her ideas. Now the said:. • "That brings ou to exactly the point that I gather .he reached with Gordon.: IIe said• --and this 1 " .he whole point; he says he wants five minutes' talk vith you, and that after that .he'll give the whole thing sp. Gordon wilt gest him off, with the po- lice, I'll pay his • hospital charges, everything will be dropped," "He only wants my naive and ad- dress!" she exclaimed suspiciously. "The police nave those, anyway.' "Yes, that's true." A silence, while she looked into his face, expectantly, confidently. "What do you thiink I. ought to do, Chris?". "Well, dear—" The word slipped out, but he caught himself. "Well," he amended it, "the situation is queer. Gordon says he seems a ,nice, quiet fellow, with a Little mental twist on the subject of rich persons. We don't know, of course; that he didn't see you that night, at Gordy's and follow you with' some crazy idea that you I were being well, abducted—that you I needed --well, protection—" Getting into 'rather deep water, Chris smiled cheerfully; "And whatnot!" heended, with an eloquent gesture of the hands. !"So that perhaps if I went and talked to Bim?" " I"The point would be, if you could?" She reflected frowningly; raised her head proudly. "But of course I could." "You mean you would do it?" "If you thought it would make any difference!", Mary Kate fumbled with her salad mechanically, laid aside her fork. "I've done so much—" she re- �minded him,. simply„ forlornly. "Just what twist he's got in his hind, I don't know," Chris resumed presently. "But Gordon distinctly said that he was :convinced from the 'way the man acted that he really !would be reasonable with you. He treats rich persons as if ,they were reptiles." "I could just say to hint that I am a working woman from a poor fam- ily," Mary Kate mused aloud, "and i ask him not to bring this terrible trouble down on my mother and the children." Tears Riled her eyes; she lowered them, and bit her tembiing lower lip. "Honestly, I don't see what harm it could do," Chris reassured tier, sympathy barely veiling his satisfae- tion "I' know- Socialists," she said thoughtfully. "One of the girls here in the office goes to meetings." "Well, then, if he is a Socialist, and you say that you have some in- terest in Socialists, isn't there a res•• sonable hope that he would agree to forget the whole thing?" • "I suppose so," she "agreed doubt- fully. "Would you go up there, right after luncheon, and 'just walk in on hint?" Chris urged, in a quick, confi- dentia) fashion. "P11 jump you into a taxi, and we'll be up there in ten minutes, and fifteen minutes later the whole thing will be over! Will you? What harm can it do?" Her unquenchable sense of advan- Uwe rose strong :within her. The orchestra was playing a stirring march now, and• the rain had all but stopped; a wet sun was flashing over the world, and the bay was arched by a tremulous rainbow. Gulls flew 'white'pasrt the hotel window; the bay and sky had turned from gray to blue, and over the former masses of s'hip- ped-cream. cloud .were moving rapidly. If she went to the hospital, She would be that much longer with Chris, and she would please him. "All right!" she said. "Good!" Chris approved. Both began to do justice to the salad, and in two minutes both were talking animatedly again. - "What a day!" "Look at it. It -looks too brilliant to be true. And Mother made me wear all my rain outfit this morning." "Ah, well, so did everyone else, Let's hope it's an omen, Mary. Let's hope it means our little ull,pleasant.

When the gasoline tank of the old plane had exploded limning parts had carried' over into the woods and smoldered until they had Bnelly burst into flame, The sire was no doubt small. at Arlt, but gradually grew and spread until early morning—and while all that was happening Scottie and I snored peacefully but noisily on, We were now in a bad fix. To the south the ;valley narrowed down to a sort of notch between} the mountains. To the north it ended in a steep moue - thin slope, On either aide were steep mountain sides that were now lost in. the heavy smoke. It became hotter and hotter, and more and more chok- Ing and suffocating. "Scottie," says I, "I've heard e lot about dogs' luck; and, Pup, you'd better get ready to use it because we'll both need plenty of luck before we get out of here. Colne; let's go." lint as it wast, I pulled on my Leath- er jacket t2 protect my back, and my helmet and. goggles to save my face and..eyes.

It • reed: "A11 well, Staying on the borders ore Mongolia." Isis hostess pointed nut that Mon- golia was hundreds of miles away, The American countered this toy re- rnerkiug that Itis people knew where Mongolia was, but nsost probably had never heard of Assam The hostess, a loyalist, was rather hurt. In due course they went to the telegraph office, where the cable was handed in. In a moment a dusky face appeared at the pigeon -hole, and the 'clerk said, "Salt , . , where is New York?" "What," shouted the. American, "have you never beard of the United States?" "Oh, yes, sah," said the clerk, brightening". "Part of Canada, eh?" A Contrast Oreas Evening Tiniest Recently, two American gunmen, John (Two - Gun Babe) O'Brien and Sydney (Sunny) Lass, thought they would go to Canada and see how business was up there.
