When one cotislilerM himself ns being secure In thnt desired position with re ffrtl to the linnl limit of perfection and i ,. . .cl"lr'"H of Imperfection, he Is quite likely to evpect others to shnre In his clarity of vision. Kvelyn Daly had had mnuy young men tell her very In tcresting things nbout herself, views with which she could ngrco without be ing dlsplenHcd, anil by no means nil of tho yming men hnd been unmiiy m lluenced In their vIcwh by thu fnct of her great-nunt'H millions. Kvelyn hnd grown to look upon those of lier own ngo nnd opposite sex ns being almost tinl vcrsnlly quite ben.siblu and persplcncioiiH. She hnd her doubts abou( thote of the gentler and more dlhcernlue sex, nnd with no nlm nt a pun since she wns never humorously Inclined, believed that more often thnu not they were unfair.

Hut then n hlzh Is n .!. And adoration, even from nn uncouth lluxter, may be not unlika n pearl from nn uniovciy oyster, So the dins danced on in trliimtilinnt proceion, lending in the full blown springtime. Ashe was at home here now. He felt toward the old life lu Han Francisco ns though it had been but a ilrcum-preludo to this delightful exist ence. Ho cnine nnd went ns It plcnscd him, nlwnys conscious thnt Hnddon's ecs journeyed after him, hut In no way disturbed by them. He knew thnt Had don never lost sight of him for more thnn a half dnv nt a time, very seldom for so long. He knew thnt If he tried to slip away Haddon would telephone to u dozen places and thnt the muiiv nrms of the law would reach out for him. He knew that Ilnchcl Stetheril watched him often nnd keenly. Uut It didn't mntter. He didn't Intend to run na,v not so soon from so plcirant nn exist ence not until he knew lust what Hnd. don's game wns. As Mrs. Stethurll's secrctnry ho wns kept very busy for mnuy hours ench dny. He hnd nlwnys hnd IiIh own opin ion of people who accepted such slave driven tnsks ns this. Uut even this work didn't mar the joy of his "holi day." He typed letters, talked with people over the telephone lines, mnktiie appointments for his employer, nnd yet it was ro mm more mnn dull routine, Ho was neelng from a fresh viewpoint the workings of big Interests. To call for long distance and then get a financier whom he hud In the old dnys upon his "list." hnd Its amusing side to him. To send his own voice for hun dreds of miles Into n teeming cltv where even now tho law wns driving its hun gry bcnrch lifter him wns uklu to ad venture. He tulkcd thus with Mulvln ItutiNch. the president of n Sun Fran cisco fruit cnmpnny, nnd told Itausrh exactly what he wns to do upon n certnln bit of company business. Ilausch (.-rumbled, but ut the magic wordR, I nm sorry, but Mrs. Stetheril Insists," did as ho was told. He wrote letters which said briefly. "You will do as I hnve snld und do it Immediately or take the con sequences," And tho letter, once thnt It wns signed viciously, brought In due time tho desired answer, excuptlng nlone Jn the attempted coercion of Horn, the I.ockworth cashier. Yes, It wns interesting to pnuse for n little upon his gnv journey down the bright highway of life, to look in nt the windows of such ns Itnhel Stetheril, to observe how the big denls In "legiti mate" business worn operated, It was worth while to stop and read this word, "legitimate," scrawled across all these bii deals--nnd to hinlle at it! Ilnchel Stetheril had suld to Mr. Ilond, in Just so many words, "You'll do ns I till you or r II smash you! I'll break ou mi completely thnt you won't have i nnugli lieuu'es left to start in selling papers' Ashe hnd nlwnys contented himself In tul.lug whnt hc thought he might need and did It uitlnw fully. She would tnke even cent, but in n hlghl rcspcrtnble nnd legitimnte fntdilon. "nnnd has jnat cleaned up n fortune In boom city real estnte," Iluddou re ported enrly in the course of hostilities. "And lu n couple of months he moci till from cnhlir to president, tukltig old Mr. Armstrong's place." "So much the better!" Mrs. Stetheril hnd cackled. "So much tho better! 1 hone he pilts n million on top of thnt before I get ready to go after him. The lilulicr the fool climbs the harder I'll dump him." To he euro It struck thu new secretary thnt it was n bit noteworthy thnt he hnd been tnken without question Into the conlldence of his employer as much nr hc hnd -but then he shrugged Ills shoulders, There were too many ques tions to be answered to allow of his beginning here. One ilav. out of a clear skv. IIiitMnn surprised him by asking, ''When Is jour blrthihy?" Aiiu he hail answered, sayinc. "The first of May." . CONTINUED TOMORROW.
