York to her socially -elect mother, a relig- ious, ambitions woman, .The girl is hurried into an engagement with the wealthy Felix. Kent. Her father, Nick Sandal,: surreptiously enters the' girl's home one night, . He tells •her' he used to •call her Lynda Sandal. The girl is torn by her desire to see' Iif•e in the raw and . to become part of her mother's society. Her father studies her surroundings. Lynda visits her father in h:s dingy quarters. She finds four men playing cards when she arrives. .One of them, Jock Ayleward, her father tells. her, is like .a son to him, but warns the girl he is a trifler. Lynda pays a second visit to her father and Jock takes her home, on the way stopping with her at an un- derworld cabaret. Jock asks. her to dance. Jock gets into a fight with a gang- ster who intends on dancing with Lynda. He then takes Lynda home. Later she mention Felix's name to Jock: and Ayleward's face displays his demoniac hatred of tire millionaire. jock tells Lynda that Felix caused him to be sent to jail unjustly by fixing up his report on a mine. Lynda says she doesn't believe his ;-tory. She pays another visit to her father and noes to a cabaret with him tant but T do feel kind of scared,' Kent, without troubling himself to reassure her fears, hung up•and pon- dered the exasperating news.. ' If the thief had taken sou tithing from that safe , . . a -thousand' eous betrayals darted through •his fancy, Whitening his lips, • pulling down lines beside the griin ''mouth - corners. He saw wolf faces, hyena faces. • , He stood up.He'd take to the air. No use putting himself to the strain of these imaginary disasters. At precisely noon, Charles 'having been warned by wire to meet him' at the • landing field, Felix • presented himself in his office. • Miss Becky was glad to see hint. She repeated to hint the disorganized details of her information. One' that she added. caught Kent's breath. • "But Michael does say that for an instant he kind of thought maybe the boy threw something down to the court before he knocked him out." Kent was now at the safe and his face was pinched as he began to pull out the contents of the metal draw- ers. Miss Deal said timidly, "By the by, Mr. Kent, Mrs. Harlowe's been ring- ing and ringing to ask for you." "Mrs. Harlowe? snapped Kent. "If she rings again put her off until I'm through with this. Just tell her on my n -ay from Washington and that you'll put me in touch with and dances with Jock, who suddenly her as soon as I get in. It's some stops and tells her he is going to idiotic woman business about the take her right home. He bad seen' wed-" Felix dancing with another woman. He stopped in the middle of that Felix tells Jocelyn •that Jock is a word. worthless scamp. Later Lynda tells Miss Deal turned her pince nee. up - Jock she does not believe in his in- on him and all the blood in her body rushed up into her square face. "Oh, great heaven, what's gone?" Kent stood up. He was chalk white,. a pallor that showed blue about his lips. "Get me the police station quick- nocence but will try and . find, thru Felix, some letters Jock claims will clear his name. "Marcella finds her jewels stolen a,pd hires a private detective who un- covers the mysterious prowlings of Lynda, without knowing who she is. Lynda suspects her father. Jocelyn decides to marry Felix quickly and preparations for the wed- ding are made. She asks him to tell her the combination ,of his safe, 'as a mark of his confidence in her. Armed with the combination and accompanied by Jock, Lynda enters Felix' office at night, abstracts the wanted papers from his safe and throws them down to Jock, who is waiting below. Then she is captur- ed by the janitor and turned over to the police. Felix learns the next morning, in Washington, that a `boy' had broken into 'his safe. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "Yes, sid. I know how you must feel. When 1 heardit, it wet right through me like a bullet, About one. o'clock, or a little earlier, Rory 13_„ A iiiinufie later Felix, seated at his desk, was stabbing space with his questions. Between, his brows a deep straight line looked like a scar. He identified himself to the voice at the: other end of the telephone and then went on, "You've got the man my night watchman caught in my inner office early this morning. Has he been searched? ... Yes, I'll hold the wire." While he waited, Kent moved the fingers of his left hand in and out like a tiger's claws. "Nothing, eh? But I tell you he did get some papers. Yes, they're. missing, important papers An ac- complice at the foot of the fire es- cape? Jove! Get his name, his whereabouts . . , Well, get 'em. Find out. Can't you make the boy speak?" The officer at the •other end. de= murred at some 1•ength. O los c owsu PURuSHINCI. CAM GAMY Miss Becky asked; one question as :her Great Chief turned to the door;'. A moment later the 'phone rang shrilly. "Oh, Mrs, Harlowe, I ain so sorry, He was here but he's just gone out. I' did tell him and he just hadn't a second to get round to calling. He was . brought back on very urgent business, and as it's turned' .out the matter• is even more serious than we feared. ; I'll take your message , .' : . Yes indeed, Mrs. Harldwe, I'll keep it perfectly quiet. I'll tell it only to Mr, 'Kent himself privately at the earliest possible moment," she listened, her face was all aghast. "Oh, Mrs. Harlowe, how dreadful that sounds ,• Oh, I am' so sorry: Yes indeed I will." Five minutes later, having in the interval walked distractedly • up and down the room, she wrote down on a pad: "Urgent. Miss Jocelyn Har- lowe was not in her bedroom this morning. After repeated summonses the door was forced, She had gone to bed early. None of her outer clothes seemed to be missing. There was no niesage or note of any kind and no explanation has yet been dis- covered of her absence. She seems. to have completely disappeared. No ore saw her leave the building." This message, Miss Becky, crying and blowing her nose, placed in an er~velope and sealed. She labeled it, "For. Mr. Kent. Urgent. Personal. Private." and propped it conspicu- ously on his desk. The room where Lynda Sandal sat waiting for the arrival of Jocelyn Harlowe'.s fiance was neither com- fortable nor luxurious. It ,was on the contrary "incredibly grimy,' dingy, depressing and suggestive' of down- trodden guilty and. hunted lives: Three men were in attendance upon. her. They ringed her like a wolf pack and like a wolf pack they snap- ped and snarled and circled and squatted, wearing her out so that she might drop down unprotectingly to suffer the fleshing of their fangs. Since morning of that April day *which was only so short a tale of. hours before her wedding hour, she had sat on. a hard chair gripping its edge with both her hands, turning 'ger white face from this tormentor to that, listening to threats that made her blood attack' then leap away from her scared heart. She still wore Nick's shabby suit, but her collar had been torn open under Rory's grasp. Her ,tie was lost, her hat had been, taken from her and above the crumpled male at- tire' her fine feminine throat and head ,gave an effect of startling deli- cacy. There was no, particle of 'her' vivid coloring in this trapped face but the tilted eyes flared, angry and gold en, and the lips still went tight when thought he heard a movement on our Said Felix, presently, interrupting, she closed them at the end of :each floor, and let Himself into the outer "A woman?

Nothing seems to be disturbed. '. The safe is quite as usual, All the papers on your desk mid he - side are intact. I do believe, Mr. Kent, that no harm's been done. But I am just kind of scared.

No, sir, They didn't find any. thing on him. They're holding' hirer at the stations. You'll, be back before noon?" 'I'd have to make it by aII-plane, to do that, Miss Becky." "Well', perhaps it isn't that in -Apar. tt I'll take the responsibility, All of it. I tell you," his voice lifted to a shrill whining note, "you've got to get back those papers for me or I'll make your place down there so hot for you that you'll wish you'd put your young.lady:on a gridiron to save your own "skins." - E.xcept' for ae. uncertain sort of, a mumble there was no., further protest from the other speaker, Felix sat, his hand picking a i sing cruelly at a blot- ter, his face ugly as though it watch- ed torment. He bent forward again, "Wants to speak to me? Won't speak to,any- one else?" Her at thirilti'nga "All right. Keep her squirming till I get. there. Trust me to Make her come clean," rncst be given his chance, her will doggedly repeated. This until, after some outside message, her arm had been savagely ,twisted, and she had turned faint. Then, "I won't speak to anyone but Felix Kent," she had. conceded. "Why do you keep on torturing me now?" she wailed when this mes- sage and one of the men's depart- ureand return with the news that Kent was on his way, had brought no surcease to the rain of furious ques- tions and threat. Shehad un s t ,r a beg to -weep. A voice in the room beyond her torture chamber put a question very sharply and Jocelyn opened. her strange and lovely eyes wide. That was Felix Kent. For the first time they were about to meet. She forgot her attendant inquisi- tors. She sat up straight, command- ing the cruel bewildered throbbing of her head, and as the door opened she rose slowly' to her feet. Felix Kent, staring ',down at her, turned scarlet and his eyes changed. He drew iii his breath, put up one hand, let it fall and mastered his face, He turned to the men, "Here, let me alone with her a mo- ment. 'I think I've seen the girl be- fore.
