When 'Fosdick tells him he will 'have wait' Mark accepts an invitation to a party to help Ted- dy'Banks win a bet with Archie Lan- don. Although Mark tells then his real name, Archie introduces him as "Stewart Byram." At the party Mark meets Burleson, the man who sent him to prison, and Burleson's niece, Pamela Rodney. Burleson does not recognize him ,and Mark decidesi not to reveal his identity to Pam until he finds the real 'murderer•. He is lunching with Pam when Fosdick joins then. When Pam in- troduces hint as "Mr. Byram," Fos- Burleson nodded. It seemed to Fos- dick pretends not to know him.

Fifteen years, isn't it? By Jove!" It's a slice out of any man's life!" Burleson swung back in his chair, staring out of the window.

"A socially conducted journey eh?" he smiled grimly. "You're a little re- bel, Pam." "Uncle Herbert, I wish you'd tell Aunt Lynn that I'm old enough to go where I pltease, and—and Archie Landon hasn't any 'business to dictate about my friends!" "So Landon meddles, does he? I thought the boy- had more sense." "He hasn't any! In the first place, he brought a friend of his to the house. Then he talks to Aunt Lynn because I lunched with' his guest to- day—if you please!" "I see! You've been lunching out with a man and got into trouble with your aunt. That's it, isn't it?" "I've got a right to lunch with anyone, haven't I?" Pain tossed her head, then she laughed. "You see, the trouble is I can't be sly—someone always sees me! Archie Landon saw me today; so did that hateful old Fosdick of yours!" Burleson looked down at the charm- ing flushed face critically. "Fosdick didn't talk, young lady; he's just been to my office. Old men are wiser than young ones, after all!" "I wouldn't care a pin for Landon," said Pam hotly, "only it's mean—he brought the man 'himself," "Who's the man?" Pam blushed ]Furiously, for the twentieth part of a second she hesi- tated; elle had a terrible remembrance of Fosdick's "Byram", and Mark's reply. But she had no hint of its real significance. "It's Stewart Byram. Don't yotr re- member him at dinner that time, Un- cle Herbert? The tall fellow with— with the different look?" "I seem to remember quite a num- ber of tall fellows with different Iooks," Burleson replied, musing. Pam laughed useasily. "Oh, you noticed him! I saw that myself. He's —he's not like anybody else." Burleson glanced down at her quick- ly and eaught only the sweep of her thick lashes on a' red cheek, "Come to think of it, I do remem- ber the man you mean," he admitted slowly; it occurred te hue that it was the one whose face recalled some- thing forgotten.

She smiled at him from cavernous depths of the checkered black and yellow monster. "You're coming to see me? Let me see—I'm home to- morrow afternoon,` five o'clock." He had no .right to go there again, but he had a right to tell the truth in his own way! He merely said, in a strained voice, "Five tomorrow— it's not a function, is it?"

Then he laughed dryly. "Would you like to see him at your house?" he asked maliciously; a perverse imp had, so far, kept him silent. It was amusing to imagine the great man's suprise." "At my house?" Burleson frowned. "No! What do you mean by that?" "You wouldn't know him if he came, that's all" Fosdick replied coolly,. "es- pecially if he changed his name." Burleson nodded. "Is he consider- ing'that ?" "Decidedly," Fosdick laughed; "I think he's done it already." "Well, I don't know as I'd blame him for that either!" He glanced out of the window again, absently. It was plain that his mind was pre- paring to exclude Fosdick. "When you get those shares conte up and we'll talk it over.

Later, struggling out of the jam at Wall Street, he added to this his only relenting comment "She's pretty en- ough to make a fool of any boy!"
