Then: "One dinner, lodging and breakfast of us was about all you could stand, wasn't it? I thought maybe it would be that way." "What made you think so?" She had seated herself in the chair reserved for inquiring investors. There was a little interval of glove smoothing silence, and then, like a flash out of a clear sky, she smiled across the desk end at him and said: "Will you forgive me if I ask you a perfectly ridiculous question?" "Certainly. Other people ask them every day." "Is—is your name really and truly John Smith?" "Why'should you doubt It?" It was just here that Smith was given see another one of Miss Co rona's many moods—or tenses—and it was a new one to him. She was visibly embarrassed. "I—l don't want to tell you," she stammered. "All right; you needn't." "If you're going to take it that easy, I will tell you," she retorted. "Mr. Williams thought your name was an alias; and I'm not sure that he doesn't still think so."

It's like John Doe or Richard Roe, you know." "Haven't you any middle name?" "I have a middle initial. It is "M." He was looking her fairly in the eyes as he said it, and the light in the new offices was excellent. Thanks to her horseback riding, Miss Coro ta's small oval face had a touc!. of healthy outdoor tan; but under the tan there came, for just a flitting in stant, a flush of deep color, and at the back of the gray eyes there was something that Smith had never seen there before. "It's—it's just an Initial?" she queried. "Yes; it's just an initial, and I don't use it ordinarily. I'm not ashamed of the plain 'John." "I don't know why you should "be," she commented, half absently, he thought. And then: "How many 'John M. Smiths' do you suppose there are in the United States?" "Oh, I don't know; a million or so, I guess." "I should think you would he rather glad of that," she told him. But when he tried to make her say why he should be glad, she talked pointedly of other things and pres ently wont back to her father's of fice. There were fine little headings of | perspiration standing on the fugi ! tive's forehead when she left him. After the other members of the of ! fiee force had taken their departure, I he still sat at his desk striving to '•ring himself back with some degree of clearheadness to the pressing de mands of his job. Just as he was about to give it up and go across to the Hophra House for his dinner, William Starbuck drifted in to open the railing gate and to come and plant himself in the chair of privilege at Smith's desk end. "Well, son; you've got the animals stirred up good and plenty, at last," he said, when he had found the "ma kings" and was deftly rolling a cigar ette- —his one overlapping habit reaching back to his range-riding youth. "Dick Maxwell got a wire to day from his kiddie's grandpaw—and my own respected daddy-in-law— Mr. Hiram Fairbairn; you know him —the lumber king." "I'm listening," said Smith. "Dick's wire was an order; In structions from headquarters to keep hands off of your new company and to work strictly in cahoots—"har mony' was the word he used—with Crawford Stanton. How does that fit you?" The financial secretary's smile was the self-congratulatory face-wrink ling of the quarry foreman who has seen his tackle hitch hold to land the big stone safely at the top of the pit. "What Is Maxwell going to do about it?" he asked. "Dick is all wool and a yard wide; and what he signs his name to is j what he is going to stand by.

That't all; I just thought I'd drop in and tell you." Smith went to his rooms in the hotel a few minutes later to change for dinner. He found the linen draw er in his dressing-case overflowing. Opening another, he began to ar range the overflow methodically. The ! empty drawer was lined with a news j paper, and a single headline on the upturned page sprang at him like a 1 thing living and venomous. He bent j lower and read the underrunning paragraph with a dull rage mounting to his eyes and serving for the mo ment to make the gray printed lines turn red. Lawrenceville, May 19. The grand jury has found a true bill against Montague Smith, the ab sconding cashier of the Lawrence ville Bank and Trust, charged with embezzling the bank's funds. The crime would have been merely a breach of trust and not actionable but for the fact that Smith, by own ing stock in the bankrupt Westfall industries lately taken over by the Richlander company, had so made himself amenable to the law. Smith disappeared on the night of the 14th and is still at large. He is also want ed on another criminal count. It will be remembered that he brutally as saulted President Dunham on the night of his disappearance. The re ward of SI,OOO for his apprehension and arrest has been increased to $2,- 000 by the bank directors. CHAPTER XI. The Narrow World. At the fresh newspaper reminder that his sudden hound upward from the laboring ranks to the executive headship of the irrigation project had merely made him a more con spicuous target for the man-hunters. Smith scanted himself of sleep and redoubled his efforts to put the new company on a sound and permanent footing. In the nature of things he felt that his own shift must neces sarily be short. The more or less dramatic coup in Timanyoni High Line had advertised him thoroughly. He was rapidly coming to be the best-known man in Brewster, and he cherished no illusions about lost identities, or the ability to lose them in the land where time and space have been wired and railroaded pretty well out of existence. It was needful that he should work while the day was his in which to work; and he did. work. There was still much to be done. Williams was having a threat of labor trouMles at the dam, and Stillings had unearthed another possible flaw in the land titles dating back to the promotion of a certain railroad which had never gotten far beyond the paper stage and the acquiring of some of its rights of way. Smith flung himself masterfully at the new difficulties as they arose, and earned his meed of praise from the men for whom he overcame them. But under the surface current of the hurrying business tide a bitter un dertow was beginning to set in. He took his first decided backward step on the night when he went into a hardware store and brought a pistol. The free, fair-fighting spirit which had sent him barehanded against the three claim-jumpers was gone and In its place there was a full determina tion, undefined as yet, but keying itself to the barbaric pitch. It had been a day of nagging dis tractions. A rumor had been sent afoot—by Station, as Smith made no doubt —hinting that the new dam would be unsafe when it should be completed; that 'its breaking, with the reservoir behind it, would carry death and destruction to the low lands and even to the city. Timid stockholders, seeing colossal dam agesuits in the bare possibility, had taken the larm, and Smith had spent the greater part of the day in trying to calm their fears. For this cause, and some others, he was on the ragged edge when Baldwin dropped in on his way home from the dam and protested. "Look here, John; you're overdo ing this thing world without end! You break it off short, rightnow, and go home with me and get youjr din ner and a good night's rest. Get your coat andhat and come along, or I'll rope you domn and hog-tie you." , For once In a way, Smith found that there was no fight left in him, and he yielded, telling himself that another acceptance of the Baldwin hospitality, more or less, could make no difference. But no sooner was the colonel's gray roadster headed for the bridge across the Timanyoni than the exhilarating reaction set In.'ln a twinkling the business cares, and the deeper worries as well, fled away, and In their place heart-hunger was loosed. (To Be Continued) HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH "The Insider" j By Virginia Torhunc Van tie J! | Water CHAPTER 1.11 Copyright, 1917, Star Company A strange numbness came over me when Brewster Norton ceased speak ing. I dropped my hands from my eyes, but I could not look at him. I Instead, I walked away from him and stood, with my back to him, gazing out into the West. The sun, casting horizontal rays across the fields and woods, made crimson spots before my eyes. But suddenly my thoughts became clear. I remembered what this man had done for me, what he had been to nie. 1 recalled hia kindness, his | unfailing gentleness. I remembered how desolate I had been when I j came into his employ. I remember jed the dangers that had lain all | about me —a young, orphaned and homeless girl in a great city like | New York. I had had nobody to whom to turn I when my father died, nob.ody to love. Then this man had opened the doors lof his home to me, as he might have opened them to hU own young | sister. How nervous I had been when I took this, my first position! How I had wondered if my little charge would like her new govern ess! Grace! The child's sweet face rose before my blurred vision and I seemed to hear her high treble call ing my name. What would happen if I turned from her father's plea? Would I have to leave Grace? Would I have to go back into that world from which this home had been such a safe refuge? Surely, if I re jected this man's offer I could not in justice to him or to my own self respect stay in his house. He came toward me and took my hands. "I do not love you," I told him abruptly. "I like you very, very much," I bly. "Don't for a moment fancy, dear, that I am such a fatuous fool as to think that you do—yet. But, Elizabeth—tell me—you don't dis like me, do you? I have fancied that you regarded me as a rather good friend. Am I wrong?" "I like you very, eery much," I replied in a low voice. "But"—J— "And there is nobody else you like better?" he asked, still gently. "No!" I exclaimed. "Indeed, Mr, Norton, there is nobody" I stopped and sprang away from him. There were footsteps on the stairs leading to the roof, and merry voices were exchanging jesting re marks. Tom Appears "It's Tom," my companion mut tered, "and Parker's with him. Stay right where you are. "You see," he was saying in an ordinary conversational tone as the two young people appeared in the narrow opening of the scuttle door, that the Boston road Is away off there," pointing with a steady fore finger into the distance. "Ah, young gentlemen, so you have come up to share this stunning view with us, have you? Miss Dart, you remem ber Mr. Parker, of course?" "Yes, indeed," I said, turninpf to greet, the tall, straight figure that had come forward. "But I have lIIMEAKFfISr ICHOICE)! 1 of MILLIONS | Every morning this delightful food 1 **WSbBE d is enjoyed all over p the world §f cirui f - '4 MADE FROM WHOLE WHEAT = W a ND MALTED BARLEY EE A RICHLY FLAVORED & = fy NOURISHING , g been facing the sun until there ar® splotches before my eyes so that your face is blurred." I laughed nervously and held out my hand. As Hugh Parker grasped it, I looked up Into his face. The spots faded from my vision and I found myself meeting a pair of steady eyes, and as I gazed I felt a sudden calm come over me. "I am glad to see you again, Mr. Parker," I said quietly. "And I am glad to sec you," he rejoined. The words were nothing in them selves, but for some subtle reason they warmed my heart. 1 was sure that the speaker meant them. I rec ollected that the first time I had ever met him I had been conscious of his Innate sincerity. We four stayed on the roof a few minutes longer; then, with the ex cuse that it was time Grace had re turned from superintending the milking, 1 slipped away downstairs alone. I did not indulge the weak de sire to hide in my own room, but went right on down to the first floor, called Grace, and sat with her while she ate her bread and milk, chatter ing all the while about the pretty Jersey cows she had just seen. Grace Is Affectionate I was summoned to dinner by the time the little girl was in bed, and had had her talk with her father. I waited until I heard him leave the nursery and go downstairs before I went in and gave her her good night kiss. She flung her arms about !? 7 ?

"Oh, my dear Miss Dart," she said, "I do love you! I am glad I have you with me all the time. You won't ever go away—will you?" What subtle telepathy or intuition had moved the little creature to say just these words on this, of ail nights? "Foolish child!" I chlded affec tionately, trying to laugh naturally. "Why should I go away? What would I do without you. Honey?" She, too, laughed. "I was only funning, I guess," she rejoined. "I know you' won't levae me, 'cause I love you too much to let you." The tears were very close to the surface when I went down to din ner that night. I was almost sorrv I had let myself grow so fond of Mr. Norton's small daughter. 1 REMEMBER OUR NEW ADDRESS-308 MARKET STREET | \c4osfe n§l| j 308 Market'St | | Special Sale Of Hats —_ 1 1 Tomorrow (Thursday) I Ip Newest White and Black Summer Hats at Unusually Low Prices B We do not, as yet, have show windows to displav our \ EgJ ffl great values and are therefore compelled to quote values I \ 1 IjS raj the like of which have never been seen in this city, to / nja draw you to our new store.
