The giant was puffing visibly, at the end of the round... - "There's the sponge, my boy," gibed Nevilles as he took his corner. Stak- ie's hard face wore a distressed, per- plexed expression. He laughed and shook his head. "Watch me this tim:e';"'bo," he warn= ed. ''I'm sure coming •after you,'' "Stoide," returned Nevi'.iss, "I" just can't Allow you to put me away.

Only his mar- vellous footwork saved him from di,s-' aster .time and again as he sent hone blows that rocked the big man an his heels. It was following one of Stakie's amous, long-range tries for the chin, fortunately for Nevilles avoided by him that.the end came suddenly. As the big fellow 'swayed to recover bal- ance, Nevilles shot home a shower of blows to the body. 'Stokie caught his breath hard, and slowly wilted to his knees. - Rudolph, watch in hand, stepped forward and counted ten slowly. "He's .cut," he announced. Nevilles sprang tacross, to where Doctor Glen stood. "Doc," he said, "'I want that fel- low cured. "He's good stuff, and I have a job for him. How long will it take?" "If he'll follow directions, I can do it in a week," the doctor promised. "Good. llie'll do it; he's given me his word." Nevilles went back to the vanquish- ed Stakie and knelt beside him. The aviator blinked up into his conqueror's face. "So you put me away?" he said wonderingly. "No," said Nevilles. "Simply tired you out, old man." Stokie sat up and rubbed his eyes. "It wasn't you beat me," he gro�n ed. "It was the dope. Now, I reck8vn it's up to me to try for a come -back. I'm going to fight the hardest battle I've ever taken on, Mr. Webster, but I'm going to put old Coke down for the count, same as it put me." CHAPTER XXI NEVILL'ES HAS A VISITOR Nevilles was taking a shower bath when old Robbins hobbled into the room. "What is it?" he called, as the serv- ant coughed apologetically. t'`A lady to see you, sir." "A lady!" Nevilles stepped from the spray, and with a coarse towel began to take a rub -down. "Did you say, a lady, Robbins?" "Yes, sir; I 'ov'e 'er card here, sir. I'll just he leavin' it on the 'table." "Very well. Tell the lady I'll- be down in five minutes." •' •Robbins went out, and Nevilles quickly dressed. He picked up the card and 'his heart gave a wild leap. He went downstairs slowly and along to the reception room. Myra Huntingdon was standing by the window, the slenderness of her 'figure accentuated by the lines of .the white crepe dress she was wearing. There was something tragic,, some- thing pitiful in the face half averted from 'him. But when she turned slow- ly at 'chis respectful "Good morning," the face, with its wide eyes and scar- let 'lips, held only scorn. He pushed' a deep armchair toward her. "Won't you sit dawn?" he invited. But she remained standing, her un- wavering gaze fixed contemptuously upon .him. "Of course," h$• said, "you think me a cad?" "And aren't you'?" she returned ic- ily. He bowed. "I am afraid !'m even worse than that," he admitted. A bright flush suffused her face, then receded, leaving it white as the snowy blossoms nodding in' at the win- dow. "All I can hope is that, despite this. fact, you may still possess sufficient of the instincts of a gentleman not to misconstrue my action in Doming to you this morning," she said, speaking with apparent effort. "There was Something I had to ask you -Mr. Webster, something which I think only you can answer." Again he :bowed. "Please tell me, 'then, is it true that you have said that, if possible, you. swill •preiv'ent the rebuilding of the ten- elnent district 'homes?"' A look of surprise, followed by one of eager intentness, flashed to his face. "I don't remember having said 'gist, he returned evasively.

' "Oh," she gasped, recoiling , from him. ' "That ,that is all I wanted to 'know,"' ,'he faltered, making as though to pass him. He stepped aside as &he • swept to- ward the door. "Miss Huntingdon-" 'She turned slowly,, and . the blood leaped to his 'temples at .the flaming seorn in her eyes. "Oh," she choked, "that 1 could be so utterly deceived in•= -you! Why did I .!believe you to be anything but what you are?. Will you• tell me," she ask- ed, "what it was prompted you rto de- ceive me 'as you have done?" "Need you ask?" 'he answered, his face set and stern. "Good God! What man 'wouldn't deceive, if by so doing he might win a little bit of happi- neas?" • Illler lip curled. "Release don't make yourself more .contemptible than you are," she said scathingly. "You are a man without a single redeeming quality. Why," she cried, "do you think for one mom- ent •I would have- met'you, talked with you-" She 'broke off and gripped the back of a chair with little, gloved hands. "If you 'had known that I was Dav- id Webster? No. That's - ivhy I de- ceived you, Myra Huntingdon." "And," she whispered, "supposing I had not found out ? What then? How far would you have gone?" He moved swiftly to where she stood. His face was as white as her own, as he lifted her trembling hands and held them close in his. "How far would I have gone?" he repeated softly. "Just as far as you would go with me.. To the 'neights or to the depths. It would not Mat- ter so long as you ware there." back. He relino.uished her hands and stood "And naw you know why I deceiv- ed you, tried to make you think me not all bad." She laughed, and the liquid notes of its mockery fell like molten lead on his soul. "You're a good actor," she said ic- ily. "There is nothing so base but you would do it to serve your selfish ends. You are so bad you revile any- thing that is good; your actions and your mode of life prove it.' And if for one moment you think that I retain a single kindly 'thought of -of ,,what you pretended to• 'be -let me say this: Of all low things of this earth, in my eyes you are the lowest. Not'that I think for one moment that my opin- ion matters at all to you, because at last I know you for what you are. And I know that you hate anything that is worthy and good. You de- 'v'ote your life and your money to de- spoiling, to undoing and •preventing good in your fellow beings. You have confessed • as much to .me in saying you will ahold the poor of the'tene- ment in grime and darkness --if you can." She stood back trembling. "I wonder why God allows such creature's as you to live?" she said whisperingly. "'Tis one of His unfathomable mysteries, I suppose," she shrugged, and she shuddered at the cynical cal- lousness of his words. He bowed and stepping to the door opened it. From the windeovv he watched her enter her little blue runabout and 'speed down the wide avenue between the monarch trees. Then he turned slowly away and sat down, nursing his head in his hands. The faint odour of jasmine lingered in the room. He could see her standing there still, tall, straight and accusing as an angel. ' He stirred erect at old Robbin's touch on his arm.' He was wanted on the telephone. "Robbins," he sighed, as he arose, "it's 'hell having' to live up to.reputa- tion, isn't it?" The old servant nodded his white head. "If I might snake so 'bold as to suggest it, sir," he answered, "it's more 'ell tryin' to live down to one." Nevilles glanced at him,•sharply. The old man's dim eyes wdre gazing at him calmly, affectionately. "I wonder," he mused, as he left the room, "if the old chap suspects me? There are times when I think so," .He went down to the telephone to answer his call. It was Jonas Haight. He wanted to know if Nevilles could meet him in ''rolliv'or's office inside the hour. It was most important. Nevilles considered. "Has Trollivor turned up yet?" he asked guardedly. "No," came the petulant voice in response., ..I That's it. 'We've got to find him. "I don't see that we can do much," Nevilles replied. "It's up to those trained sleuths of yours, it seems to me," "They're 'cbmplertely baffled," groan- ed 'Haight. "Have you tried the sanatoriums?" Nevilles suggested. "Trollivor im- pressed me as being under some kind of nervous strain. Perhaps he's cav- ed under." "I was of l'i'ke mind," said Haight, "but 'he's not in any hospital. We can't discuss the natter further over the 'phone. Will you.'eonre he soon as you can ?" Nevilles sensed fear, bordering on panic an; the tonne. "I"11 be right dame" he said, and hung up the redeireir. As hesled the he library on has way to his room; Griddle stepped iaito • the hall.

' "Mr. Haight," he .said, in cold de- liberate 'bonus, "I want to know just what your game is?" , "My game!" Haight drew !back, and his hand closed on a•heavy mahogany ruler, as though he feared en attack from his questioner. "Why have you had Trollivor spir- ited away?" "My God!" panted Haight, "why should I have Trolluv'or. spirited away? I.would give ten thousand dollars this minute to he able to have him back hereM." `°eaning," said Nevilles, "it's go- ing to cost you more than that if he doesn't come?" Haight shivered. His nervous fin- gers flashed out and clutched Nevilles sleeve. "If Trollivor isn't found to -day-" he said, and paused with a click in, his throat. Nevilles's eyes narrowed and his lips twisted grimly. "So that's how it is? Trollivor has disappeared, and with him the papers pertaining to the pur'ehase of the half interest in the Western Oil Lands - and ten thousand dollars part -pur- chase price." Haight nodded. "And you are afraid of Turnbull?" "Yes, damn you, I am!" cried the goaded man. "He'll think-" "That Trollivor has absconded with the money, and that you are in col- lusion with him? Of course he will, Has Trollivor skipped?" "No, no," groaned Haight. He sank drown on a chair. The hawk like eyes had lost their old fire. There were deep ,purple lines beneath them. The whole bearing of the man was one of 'broken spirit. Nevilles's frowning face relaxed as he gazed upon him. There is some- thing pitiful in stark, abject fear. "Mr. Haight," he said, leaning for- ward, "over the 'phone you said some- thing about having searched the city hospitals. Have you any reason for suspecting that Trollivgr's mind - that he was worrying over anything." "Of late he has been acting queer- ly," Haight admmitted. "In what way?" "Well, for instance, he has acquired a mania for straying out late at night, as though he were searching for someone who was lost. I've been anxious; have had him followed. He haunts the tenement district like a ghost." Nevilles smiled oddly. "Perhaps," he suggested, "he has an enemy, and is hunting fpr him." Haight shook his head. "In that case he would go armed. No, it's not an enema." "No?" Haight lifted his head with some- thing of his old spirit. "How much do you know of Trol- livor's past life?" he asked hoarsely. "I'n; simply trying to learn some- thing of it now," Nevilles answered. "You asked me to help you find him, didn't you?" "Yes, yes," answered Haight quick- ly. "And he has an enemy; whom I do not know. But there's a certain mean whom he fears; and that man is somewhere in this city. So much Trollivor told me." Nevilles sat silent, thinking. "Look here," he said at length, "all 'e can do iv -to hope that Trollivor will turn up soon. I don't think he has absconded. Ten thousand dollars would scarcely be enough to temaabim to do that; besides, report has it that he is to marry the beautiful foster - sister of/the highly respectable and wealthy James Turnbull. rt seems absurd to think he would deliberately run from good fortune and happiness. Turnbull himself would surely be the last to think it." "You're wrong," cried Haight, smit- ing the table with his fist. "He'll be the very first to think it and so will his sister. Haven't they angled for Trollivor, used every wile and snare - 'His mouth snapped shut. He had said far more than he had intended saying. He got up and reached for bl,'hat"rh. •"Peaps Trollivor left the papers and money in the safe yonder?" Neiv- illee suggested. "No," groaned Haight. "I have look- ed in the safe, 1 c°have the combina- tion. We've got to find Trollivor to- day." he cried wildly. "You mean we've got to find the papers and money to -day. You're not so 'particular about Trollivor, I take it?" Haight was silent. "It seems to me," said Nevilles, his manner suddenly 'changing, "that no- body gives one little damn as to the manner •I have been treated in this matter. It's my money and papers that are gone.

He threw it on• the table' in front of Haight. The older, man's shaking fingers closed on it, opened it. ' Before him lay the last papers and ten crisp one thousand dollar billa Ile gazed dully up at Nevilles. "What does this mean?" he man- aged to ask. Nevilles laughed. "Simply that I'm still looking out for David Webster's interests," he replied,. "This will save you from Turnbull"s wrath, I think. I believe that's all you ask, unless," he added, "you stili desire I should find Trolli- vor?" He walked to the door. Haight was crouched against the table, fingers gripped on the money. He looked up, his face working with maniacal fury. "Damn Trollivor!" he gnashed. "As far you," he cried, anger sweeping him in furious gusts, "you'll get what is coming to you in good time." The door opened and closed. But Nevilles's cynical laugh still rang in Haight's ears as he tottered to the 'phone and asked Central for Turn - bull's number. CHAPTERDREGS XXII Nevilles drove straight back to Shag Villa. Just outside the city he met James Turbnull in his Super Six Myra Huntingdon was beside him. Turnbull grudgingly touched his hat, but ;Myra simply stared stonily 'before her. "Snubbed." Nevilles stepped on the accelerator, and the heavy car leaped ahead, eat- ing up the miles with purring satis- faction and rocking as it took the turn up Shag Villa drive, Griddle ran down the steps from the house as the car came to a protesting pause on the gravelled walk. As he opened the door he whispered a few words to Nevilles beneath his breath. "I get you, Steve," murmured Nev- illes. Aloud he said, "I'm going ov- er to have a look at the oak timber, Billy; Griggs tells me there are some win falls that should be removed. Better come along, and we'll decide on a plan for our big get -away." Griddle glanced fearfully about him. "Not so loud," he cautioned. "Afraid of spies?" laughed Nevilles "Say, I'd like to catch any of Haight's sleuths snooping about here." There was a slight rustle in a clump of dwarf spruce close beside the drive but apparently their ears did not catch it. Griddle glanced watchfully about. "Perhaps this would be as safe a place as any to discuss our plans," he said, I know there are spies hanging around outside the grounds because I'<ve seen them and. on at least three occasions I know I have been followed." Nevilles frowned. "That's had, Billy, bad. We'll have to move carefully, We're up against euening 'brains. Well, the big show- down isn't far off, then 'we'll see what we'll see." "Have ,you got the launch ready?" asked Griddle. Nevilles nodded, "The swiftest 'thing or. the river, my (bay. She can limp twenty-five, is equipped wiith a silencer, and can do thirty miles to a police -boat's ten. That part will be easy.

There I have a special engine and coach chartered. It's destieg me eight hun- dred a day, but Webster's , ayifee for it." out-" His chuckle died, and his face grew serious. "There's only one thing I don't like about it," he said, hesitatingly, "and that's making away with -you know who?" Nevilles's jaw set. °It's too late for either of us to have any conscience or feeling in the matter," he said sternly. "Webster will have to pass out." ".And the money?" "I've got that 'part of it all fixed," Nevilles answered. 'His eyes shadowed. "It's got to be, good-bye to the open and my Little Rainbow," he said, as though to him- self. "That's the pure hell of it. It's a new and wild country for ours, Billy." "Any place'Il do for me," said Grid- dle lightly, "so long's there's plenty of excitement and adventure." "You're sure liable to find lots where we're going," Nevilles assured him. "Now," he said, "you're got it all. Come inside, and I'll give you some letters. Then I'm going to take the dogs across to Oak Ridge for a walk. Meaning," he added hi a. whisper, "I'm going down to have a look at the newly arrived Kentucky Kate, the horse that's going to beat .Haight's Fire Ply in the Harport Sweepstakes. And the joke of it is," he laughed, "only three men in the world, besides yourself, know that I have bought her." As they passed up the steps and in- to the house, Mose, the chauffeur, ap- peared to drive the ear into the gar- age. He was humming a song as he climbed into the seat and started the engine: "Nigger man, ain't nobuddy near, Better hike now, while de coast am clear." Again sounded that slight rustling in the spruce clump, and as the engine started with a roar, a man crept from cover and wriggled like a snake down the inside of the hedge toward the. gate. Three-quarters of an hour later a dusty and begrimed individual ap- proached Haight's country residence furtively and rang the 'bell. 'Mr. Haight, who had just returned home, was hanging his auto -coat in the hall. He answered the bell. "You?" he said frowning at sight of his visitor. "Conte in. Now duck in there quick- ly." He pushed the man into the small reception room, closed the door and locked it. "Now, what is it, Britain?" "Lire got news for you," answered the men surlily. "Humph! It's pretty nearly time, I should say. Well?" "He's plan'nin' on makin' his get- away." "Ab!" Haight motioned to a chair and stood opening and closing his hands as his henchman seated himself, "Well, proceed. What do you know, and how do you know?" "I overheard his plans. Him and one of them dopedueks he's picked up are going to slip away on the first dark night with a 'bunch of kale. They got a speed boat hid in the river. They're goin't to shoot up to Hlalli- burt, where they've gat a special train chartered and waitin'. Then they've Makin' for-1Gawd only knows where." "9Hla!"

'Maybe that old white -head I saw lim}pin' about the yard is his father, and he meant hire?" "No," said Haight irritably. "I know whom he meant, Britton. That's all you need care. Now, tell me," he said, (boring the man with his sus- pieious eyes, "where were you that you were able to hear so much?" "I was hid in the hedge," answered Britton. "They just got talkie' about their plans natural -like. They didn't dream of anyone likcr me bein' close and, of course, they don't know that ehoofer Mose is one of your men. I reckon old Dame Luck was with me for once." His grimy face cracked in a grin. "I'll be obliged if you'll hand me a couple of hundred, sir," he said, his pig eyes shifting before the contemp- tuous gaze of his employer. "I'm thinkin' this last jab is worth all of that."
