Hawkins shook his bead. "I didn't mean It that way," he said earnestly. "It would have been a won der if you badn't. Anyway, you had a right te knew, and it was only fair td Claire." ; CHAPTER IX The Conspirators Jehn Bru'ce fumbled in the pocket of his dressing gown and produced a cig arette; but he was a long time in light ing it. M "Hawkins." he demanded abruptly, "is Paul Vlnlxa in the house new?" "He's upstairs, 1 think," Hawkins answered. "De you want him?" "Yes in n moment," said Jehn Bruce slowly. "I've been thinking n geed deal while you were talking. ,1 can only see things one way; and that is the time has come when you should take your place as Claire's father." The old man drew back, startled. "Tell Claire?" he whispered. Then he shook his head miserably. "Ne, no! I I haven't earned the right. I I can't break my, word te Paul." "I de netsask you te break your word te Paul. I want you te earn the right new." Hawkins was still ehaklnz his head. "Earn It new after oil these years! Hew can I?" "By premising that you won't drink any mere," said Jehn Bruce quietly. Hawkins' eyes went te the fleer. "Premise!" he said In a shamed way. "I've been premising that for twenty yearn. Paul wouldn't believe me. I wouldn't believe myself. I wejit and get dtrunl;er than I've been In all my life the nbht thnt ln unld he was going te mnrry Clnire nnd Claire said it wns true, anil wouldn't listen te unything Paui could say te her .against It." .. VI would believe you," ?nid Jehn Bruce gravely. Fer an instant Hawkins' face glowed, while tears enme Inte the old blue ejes nnd then lie turned hurriedly and walked te I he window, hta baik te Jehn Bruce. "It's no use," he said, with a catch In his voice. "Yeu don't knew me. Nobody thnt knows me would take my word for that, least of all Paul." "I knew this," enld Jehn Bruce steadily, "that you have never been really put te the test. The test is here new. You'd step, and atop for ever, wouldn't you. if it meant Claire's happiness, her future, her salvation from the horror and degradation nnd misery nnd utter hepelessnebs thnt a Hf tylth .a man who Is. leet te every sense of "decency must brlns her? I would believe you if you premised un der these conditions. , It seems te me te be the only chance there is left te cave her. It Is true sbe believes Paul is her father and accepts him ns mich, hnd neither his influence nor his argu ments will move her from her deter mination te marry Crans; but I think thcre Is a chance if.tfhe Is 'told our story, if ' ahe la brought te her own father through this very thing. 'I think if .you are le each ether's arms at last after all these years from juat that cause, it might succeed where every thing else failed. But this much ia sure. It has a chance of success, and you ewe Claire that chance. 'Will you take it, Hawkins? Will you prom prem Jse?" f There was no answer from the win- 'dew, only the shaking of the old man's sueuidcrs. "Hawkins." said Jehn Brace softly, "wouldn't it be very wonderful it you saved her, and aaved yourself; snd wonderful, tee, te knew tne joy of your own daughter's love?" The old man turned suddenly from the wlndew;"hls,arms stretched'eut be fore him as 'though In intense yearn ing: snd there was something almost of nobility in "the sray head held hlch en -bent shoulders, something of greatness in me ehi wrinaieu race tnat seemed te exalt the worn and shabby clothes hanging se ferralcssly about him. "My little girl," he aald brokenly. "Your premise, Hawkins," raid Jehn Bruce in a low voice. "Will you premise?" "Yes." breathed the old man fiercely, "es se, help mc, Ged! But" he faltered suddenly "but Paul " '.'Ask Paul te come down here," said Jehn Bruce. "I have something te say te both of yeii mere than I have al ready said te you. I will answer for Paul." The old cab driver obeyed mechani cally. He crossed the room and went out. Jehn Bruce heard him mounting the stalrB. Presently he returned, fol lowed by the tall, straight, white-haired figure of Paul Veniza. Hawklns.clesed the deer behind them. Paul Venlxa turned sharply at the sound, and glanced gravely from one te the ether. His eyebrows went up ns he looked at Jehn Bruce. Jehn Bruec's face was set. "What is the matter?" inquired Paul Veniza anxiously. "I want you te listen first te a little story," bald Jehn Bruce seriously and In a few words he told Paul Veniza, as he had told Hawkins, of his love for Claire and the events of the night that had brought him there a wounded man. "And this afternoon." Jehn Bruce ended. "I asked Claire te marry me, and fclie told me she was going te marry Docter Crnng." Paul Veniza had listened with grow ing anxiety, caating troubled and un certain glances the while a( Hawkins. "Yes," he said In a low voice. Jehn Brure spoke abruptly: "Hawkins has premised he will never drink again." Paul Venlxn. with a sudden start,' stared at Hawkins, and .then a sort of kindly tolerance dawned in his face. "My peer friend J" said Paul Veniza as though be were comforting n wav ward child, and went ever and laid his band affectionately en Hawkins' arm. "I have told Hawkins," went en Jehn Bruce, "that I love Claire, that I asked her te marry me; and Hawkins In turn has told me he is Claire's father, nnd hew he brought her te you and . ": 'I,,rn ben ns wns a baby, and of the pledge he made you theu. It Is because I love Claire tee that I feel I can apeak new. Yeu once told Haw Kins hew he could redeem his daughter. He wants te redeem her new. lie has premised never te drink again." Te be continued tomorrow "THERE is geed and logical reason for the popularity of the Single-Six. It combines the performance, comfort and prestige of the quality car with the low and highly desirable operating cost of the light weight automobile. It rides and serves as only a Packard can ride and serve, while a return of seventeen miles te the gallon of gasoline is a most conservative average. Ride in the Single-Six for an hour or 10.
