"I have put a crimp in that fence-clhnbinjr banker of yours that will last him for one while! I've se cured thirty-day options, at par, on enough High Line stock to swing a clear majority if Klnzie should buy up every other share there is out standing. It has taken me all day, and I've driven a thousand miles, but the thing is done." "But, John! if anything should happen, and we'd have to make good on those options. • * * It would break the last man of us!" "We're not going to let things happen!" was the gritting rejoinder. "I've told you both a dozen times that I'm in this thing to win! You take care of those options, Stilllngs; they're worth a million dollars to somebody. Lock 'em up somewhere and then forget where they are. Now I'm going to hunt up Mr. Crawford Stanton—before I eat or sleep!" "Easy, John: hold up a minute!" the colonel broke in soothingly; and Stilllngs, more practical, closed the office door silently and put his back against it. "This is a pretty sudden country, but there is some sort of a limit, you know." the big Mlssourlan went on. "What's your idea in going to Stanton?" "I mean to give him twelve hours in which to pack his trunk and get out of Brewster and the Timanyoni. If he hasn't disappeared by to-mor row morning—" Stillings was signaling in dumb show to Baldwin. He had quietly opened the door and was crooking his finger and making signs over his shoulder toward the corridor. Bald win saw what was wanted and im- GOOD BLOOD "Blood will tell."

"That last lot of steel and cement vouchers was made out yesterday, John," he said, slipping the rubber band from a file of papers in the desk. "If you'll take time to sit down here and run 'em over, and put your name on 'em, I'll hold Martin long enough to let him get the cheeks in to-night's mail. I'll be back after a little." Smith dragged up the president's big swivel chair and planted himself in it, and an instant later he was lost to everything save the columns of figures on the vouchers. Stillings had let himself out, and when the colonel followed him, the lawyer cau tiously closed the door of the private office, and edged Baldwin Into the corridor. "We've mighty near got a madman to deal with in there, colonel," he whispered when the two were out of' earshot. "I was watching his eyes when he said that about Stanton, and they fairly blazed. He's going to kill somebody, if we don't look out." Baldwin was shaking his head du biously. "He's acting like a locoed thorough bred that's gone outlaw," he said. "Do you reckon he's sure-enough crazy, Bob?" "Only in the murder nerve. This i deal with the options shows that he's all to the good on the business side. That was the smoothest trick that's been turned in any stage of this I dodging fight fith the big fellows. It simply knocks Kinzie's rat-gnawing' game dead. If there were onlv some- | body who could calm Smith down a) little and bring him to reason—' somebody near enough to him to dig, down under his shell and get at the' real man that used to be there when * he first took hold with us—" "A woman?" queried Baldwin,! frowning disapproval in anticipation of what Stillings mignt be going to I suggest. "A woman for choice, cf course. I' was thinking of this young woman | over at the Hophra House: anybody can see with half an eye that she has j a pretty good grip on him. Suppose ! wo go across the street and give her j an invitation to come and do a little ' missionary work on Smith. She looks i level-headed and sensible enough to take it the way it's meant." Stillings was a lawyer and had no scruples, but the colonel had them in Just proportion to his Southern birth and breeding. "I don't like to drag a woman into It, any.waye or shape. Bob," he pro- ! tested; and he would have gone on I tj that he had good reason to ' believe that Miss Richlander's In- 1 fluence over Smith might not be it | all of the meliorating sort, but Still- I ings cut him short. "There need be no 'dragging.' Tne I young woman doubtless knows tj.e j business situation; she evidently knows Smith a whole lot better than ! we do. It's a chance and we'd better try tt. He's good for half an hour or so with those vouchers." CHAPTER XV m. The Arrow to the Mark Smith, concentrating abstractedly, as his habit was, upon the work !n hand, was still deep in the voucher auditing when the office door was opened and a small shocked voice said: "Oh, wooh! how you startled me!

(Copyright, 1917, International News Service.) . CHAPTER IXV. We had finished one more story in Tom's old mythology. "Shall we have another?" I asxed of the child who sat on my knees, her head on my shoulder. "The raindrops come so fast they sound like people running around up there, don't they?" she commented, ignoring my question. "Yes, they do," I said. "Like lots of little fairies, darling." "Don't you think," sn'e ventured, gazing timidly into the darkness, now settling in the more distant, corners of the attic, "that we might take this book downstairs to my room? You could read It there, couldn't you. Miss Dart? I like it better down there than up here." "Then we'll go down," I acquiesced. I was quite willing to get away from this huge place, full of gusty si lences. But I did not forget my word to Mrs. Gore, and, going to the trunk that contained Grace's baby clothes, I put back the few garments that had not been replaced, and closed the top of the trunk. Then, taking the little girl's hand. I went downstairs with her to the more cheerful part of the house. Mrs. Gore heard us as we reached our rooms, and called to us. "Why not come down to my room and have a cup of tea with me. Miss Dart? My eyes are too tired to read any longer." "Very well." I called back. Then, to Grace. "We'll go down to Auntie for a little while. But I will surely read you a story when we come back up stairs after supper." The child submitted without a de mur. Looking back. I appreciate, even more than I did then, how amen able she always was to any sugges tion of mine. "Well," Mrs. Gore asked, when we were seated in her room and she and I were taking our tea, "did you find anything interesting in the attic?" "I found my baby-clothes," Grace replied. "They were awful cunning, Auntie." Mm,. Gore Tried to Smile "Indeed they were," I affirmed. "We looked at them all, and put them all away again neatly." "And we found a long white veil, too," the child said. " 'Least, Miss Dart said it was a veil. 1 think." as if considering the subject seriously, "that it was like a big curtain to a window." Mrs. Gore tried to smile. "Perhaps it was a curtain," she commented. "There are curtains and bedspreads packed away In one of those boxes up there." I knew she was suddenly startled lest the child had seen her mother's wedding clothes. But suppose sue' had? Why should she not see them? Was she never to be told of the poor young mother she could not remem ber ? "Were there spreads In the box, too?" Mrs. Gore persisted. "No," I answered. "There was a white satin dress in the trunk." "Oh!" That was all, but I knew that sne knew the truth now. She began at once to talk of other things, and as I didn't wish to mako her uncomfortable, I joined in the trivial chat. She did not mention the attic again until Just as Grace and I were leaving her room to go down to the dining room for the child's supper. "By the way," the widow asked, with well-feigned Indifference, "you left everything up there just as you found it, didn't you, Grace?" Again 1 knew the remark was meant for me and I replied: "Yes, we folded up everything and put it away, all except the book on myth ology, which we brought down with us to the nursery. Was that all right?" "Certainly," she said. "You can bring down any book you wish. I was only referring to the other arti cles—such as Grace's baby-garments." "I put them all back and closed the trunk." 1 assured her. Even as I s"poke a doubt seized me. Had I shut down the top of the trunk containing the wedding clothes? I remembered that I had folded the veil carefully and with dif ficulty (how it had clung to* my fingers), and had laid the blue paper over it. But had I closed that trunK? Something Queer Grace was ahead of me on her way to the diningroom. I could not re turn to the attic now without exciting remark. I would wait until the child was In bed. I carried out my Intention when I had read to her, said good-night and left her alone for her evening chat with her father, who had returned an hour before from the city. I had promised Mrs. Gore to leave everything as we found it in the attic. I had assured .her that we had done this. I must be sure that I had spoken the truth. Taking my electric torch from the table at the head of my bed, I went out Into the hall. Here I paused and listened. Nobody was about. From the nurs ery I could hear the subdued murmur EVERY WOMAN MAY DRESS MORE FASHIONABLY I Can Have More Stylish Dresses at Greater Saving of Expense Women everywhere are realizing the economical results to be attained through knowledge how to do their own and their family's sewing and plain dressmaking. Clothes are a big item in the expense budget of every household, and the woman in the home who makes her own and her children's clothing cuts this expense down to about one-third, at the same time having clothes that are better made and more suited to her require ments. Naturally, every woman doesn't know ljow to sew, nor has she the time and money necessary to ootam this knowledge at a resident school. The place to study home problems is in the home itself, and the woman in the home is realizing more each day the' value of correspondence instruc tion in making herself proficient. The Lincoln Correspondence Schools course in sewing and plain dressmak ing, which is one of the six courses now being afforded subscribers to this paper, was prepared t>y one of the world's best authorities on sewing and dressmaking, a woman who has had years of practical experience in her respective line of work. More detailed information concerning this offer will be found elsewhere In this edition. The course, which consists of ten lessons, contains over 200 illustra tions, which in themselves are so plain as to make words of explana tion almost unnecessary. The lessons are most simple; there is no drafting to confuse or puzzle the student, and each new subject is taken up only as the student is prepared to under take it. To the woman who Is anxious to lessen the expense of dressing her self and her' children this most prac ticable course is a golden opportu nity. She can not only cut down tno expense, but she will have a knowl edge of what is suitable for each sea son, and for all occasions; she will know the styles that are suited to her personally and which bring out her individuality. This course is not intended to make professional dressmakers. It is for the housewife or daughter in the home, or for any other woman who sees the value of knowing how to do her own sewing and plain dress making. HEALTH BOARD IXSPKCTIOX West Fairview, Pa., June 21.—To day the West Fairview Board of Health made a tour of inspection to day following the notice that all residents should clean-up. Informa tion for the conducting public eating houses is now being printed and will be distributed among the proprietors of these places. Tours of inspection will be made of the eating houses after the regulation cards are given out. of .Mr. Norton's voice as he talked to his little girl. Softly and swiftly I went up to the attic. The noise of the rain on the roof as I opened the door at the foot of the stairs was almost terrify ing. It sounded more like thousands of bullets falling upon tin than like the fairy dances to which I had lik eced it this afternoon. I felt a shrink ing as I entered the cavernous space. But I did not hesitate. By the light of my torch I made my way quickly past the enclosure where the furniture was stored and over to the window by which stood the dark gray trunk. Here I stopped aghast. The trunk was open. That did not surprise me. But the paper that I had laid carefully over the contents was lying on the floor now, and the I had folded with reluctant fin gers was gone. I dared not let myself think at that moment. Snatchtng up the paper, I thrust It into the trunk, closed the cover as hastily as my trembling hands would permit, and fled from the attic, never pausing until I found my self again in my own lighted room.
