Tucker will talk and tell all he knows: he can't help it." "This is one time when he will not talk. Perhaps he will tell you why when you see him." Miss Hichlander glanced at the face of the small watch pinned on her shou der. "You must not stsy here any long er," she protested. "The Stantons may come down any minute, now. and they mustn't find us together. I am still forgiving enough to want to help you, but you must do your part, and let me know what is going on." William Starbuck's new car was standing in front of Judge Warner's house in the southern suburb when Smith descended from the closed cab which he had taken at the Hophra House side entrance. The clock in the courthouse tower was striking the quarter of nine. The elevated mesa upon which the suburb was built commanded a broad view of the town and the outlyiiiy ranch lands, and in the distance beyond the river the Hillcrest cottonwoods outlined themselves against a background of miniature buttes. Smith's gaze took in the wide, sun lit prospect. He had paid and dis-1 missed his cab man and the thought j came to him that in a few hours the i wooded buttes, the bttre plains, the mighty mountains, and the pictured city spreading maplike at his feet would probably exist ror him only as a memory. While he halted on the terrace, Starbuck came out of the* house. "The judge is at breakfast," the owner announced. "You're to go in and wait. What do you want me to do next?" "When I get through with the judge. I shall want to go out to the dam. Will you wait and take me?" "Surest thing on earth"—with: prompt acquiescence. And then: "is; it as bad as you thought it was going! to be. John?"

"It's about as bad as it can be," was the sober reply, and with that Smith went in to wait for his inter view with the Timanyoni's best-be loved jurist. At 9 o'clock, or a few minutes before the hour, David Kinzie, at his desk in the Brewster City National telephoned a message that presently brought Colonel Dexter Baldwin to the private room in the bank known to nervous debtors as "the sweat box." "Sit down. Dexter," said the bank er shortly: "sit down a minute while I look at my mail." It was one of David Kinzie's small subtleties to make a man sit idly thus, on one pretext or another; it rarely failed to put the incomer at a disadvantage, and on the present ocoaaton it worked like a charm. Baldwin had let his cigar go out and had chewed the end of it into a pulp before Kinzie swung around in his chair and launched out abruptly. "You and I have always been pretty good friends, Dexter," he be- Kan, "and I have called you down here this morning to prove to you that 1 am still your friend. Where is your man Smith?" Baldwin shook his head. "I don't know," he answered. "I haven't seen him since last evening." "Has he run away, then?" The Missouri colonel squared him self doggedly in the suppliant debtor's chair, which was the one Kinzie had placed for him. "What are you driv ing at, Dave " he demanded. "We'll tackle your end of it first," said the banker curtly. "Do you know that you and your crowd have come to the bottom of the bag on | that dam proposition?" "No, I don't." "Well, you have. You've got just one more day to live." The Missourian fell back upon his native phrase. "I reckon you'll have to show me, Dave," asserted Baldwin stoutly. 1 "But go on. You've got your gun loaded; what are you aiming at?" "Just this: I told you weeks ago! that the other people were carrying j too many big guns for you. I don't. want to see you killed off, Dexter." "I'm no quitter; you ought to know J that, Dave," wasthe blunt rejoinder. "1 know; but tlvtere are times when I it is simply foolhardy to hold on. The j compromise proposition that I put up to you people a while back still holds good. But to-day is the last day, Dex ter. You must accept it now, if you are going to accept it at all." "And if we refuse?" "You'll go to smash, the whole kit! of you. As I've said, this is the last > call." By this time Baldwin's cigar was a hopeless wreck. "You've got something up your | sleeve, Dave, what is it?" he in- j quired. I The banker pursed his lips and the bristling mustache assumed its most aggressive angle. "There are a number of things, but the one which concerns you most, just now, is this; we've got Smith's record, at last. He is an outlaw, with a price on his head. We've dug out the whole story. He is a defaulting bank cashier, and before he ran away, he tried to kill the president." Baldwin was frowning heavily. "Who told you all this Was it this Miss Richlander over at the Hophra House?" "No; it was her father. I sent one of my young men out to the Topaz to look him up." . "And you have telegraphed to the chief of police, or the sheriff, or who- 1 ever it is that wants Smith?" "Xot yet. I wanted to give you one i more chance, Dexter. Business comes first. The Brewster City National is . a bank, not a detective agency. You ] go and find Smith and fire him: tell 1 him he is down and out; get rid of him, once for all. Then come back j here and we'll fix up that com- ( promise with Stanton." Baldwin found a match and tried . to relight the dead cigar. But it was j chewed past redemption. "Let's get it plumb straight, j Dave," he pleaded in the quiet tone I of one who will leave no peace-keep- j iner stone unturned. "You say you've got John dead to rights. Smith is a | mighty common name. I shouldn't wonder if there were half a million ' 'r so John Smiths—taking the coun- ] try over. How do you know you've got the right one?" • I "His middle name is 'Montague,' " j snapped the banker, "and the man! who is ' wanted called himself "J. I Montague Smith.' But we can identi- \ fy him positively. Mr. Bichlander's! daughter can tell us if he is the right) Smith, and she probably will if the police ask her to." Baldwin may have had his own opinion about that, but if so. he kept it to himself and spoke feelingly of other things. (To Be Continued) Daily Dot Puzzle 71 <5 ) . .2 \ f:0 V n ' n; 5 .

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH "The Insider" By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER I,XVIII Copyright,' 1917, Star Company The stairs were thickly carpeted, and I was not aware that my steps j had been herad until I passed in the open door of the library. Then 1 stood as if turned to stone, too much surprised to speak or to go away. Brewster Norton and Mrs. Gore had their backs to the door. Tom's and Hugh's departure from the house had evidently given the man and woman the idea that nobody was within earshot, as the servants had gone to bed some time ago. The boys had probably said that 1, too, had gone upstairs for the night. All this flashed through my mind in the moment during which I paused, checked by the sound of my em ployer's voice, thick with passion. "D it!" he burst forth. "I've done it, and I'll stick to it! I don't care where she is. It's not up to me. I hope she's dead! Why the devil can't they let me alone!" i "Oh!" the woman moaned, "you' never told me you had done it! You had no right—no grounds" "In this State I have!" he con tradicted. "X told you what I meant to do." "Mr Norton!" I exclaimed. 1 must make my presence known. I was too much, dazed to understand what this was all about, but I was not too much dazed to decide that I would be honest and make the act ors in this little drama aware that I had heard a part of what they had said. "Mr. Norton," I repeated, "I did not mean to intrude. I did not know that you were still talking of pri vate matters. The widow had stopped moaning, but her face was hidden in her hands. "How long have you been here?" Brewster Norton demanded sternly, ccming toward me. "I came just this minute—at least when you were saying something about sticking to something you had done. I have no idea what you were talking about, and I don't care to know. But I do want you to know that I heard a part of your conversation." An Explanation "There was nothing you are not wecome to hear," my employer said roughly. "I was just talking to Mrs. Gore of some property I am dispos ing of—and that she wants me to keep. Women are so sentimental," he added, "that they make a man behave like a brute." He was making a mighty effort to appear frank, but even though he succeeded admirably, I was sure he was lying to conceal from me what he feared to h&ve me learn. Mrs. Gore dropped her hands from her face and, wiping her eyes, confront ed me. "Yes, we were having a discussion about some news I got on the tele phone," she affirmed. "And you must have heard a part of it." "A very small part," I assured her gently. I pitied her, although I did not know why. Until now I had had no idea that my employer could be brutal when angry. Al though my outward bearing may have been almost calm, inwardly I was quivering in every nerve. I wanted to get away. But it would not do for me to run oft as if I were an excitable and ill-governed crea ture. I spoke in a low voice. "I came downstairs to tell you about Grace, Mrs. Gore.

You told me once that her heart is not strong. I-s there anything you give her for such attacks?" I had delivered myself of this en tire sentence without faltering, and 1 flattered myself that I had done well. This consciousness calmed me still further. Mrs. Gore looked helplessly at her brother-in-law, as if she could not summon her wits sufficiently to take in just what 1 was saying. Mr. Nor ton answered me. 'Yes, we always used to have some drops—digitalis or something of that sort —that we gave to Grace for the heart attacks that she had quite often when she was younger. She has had no such trouble for a long time now. What started it? You sa\ she had a bad dream?" "Yes," I replied.

NEW YORK IN FINANCE City's Itise to Power at Beginning of War Was Without a Parallel Whatever the relative position of the two cities after the war, New York's spectacular rise to power and prestige, which really began with England's entrance into the war, is likely to remain without parallel in the annals of finance. With the Eu ropean centers shaken and their machinery brought to an abrupt halt, it was to New York that the neutral markets of the world loolted for safety; it was here that they learned to look for loans, formerly obtained in London or Paris. But our advances to the nations of South America, Asia and neutral Europe, amounting to more than $200,000,- 000 since the war began, have been completely overshadowed by our lendings to beligerent Europe itself. These advances, including the three-quarters of a billion loaned to the Allies by our government, have totaled three thousand million dol lars, of which thirteen hundred mil lions were raised publicly on our markets last year. Jn addition, re purchases of our own securities, hitherto owned by foreigners, have probably amounted to more than two thousand millions. From being heavily indebted to Europe in Au- I gust, 1914, both on current accounts and on long-term borrowings, we have advanced to the outside world since the war began perhaps fifty five hundred million dollars, or an average of nearly two thousand mil lions a year.
