"Dave," he said, rising to stand
over the square-built man in the
swing chair, "it's like pulling a sound
tooth to have-to tell you the plain
truth. You ve got a mighty bad case
of money-rot. The prorit account has
grown so big with you that you can't
see over the top of it. You've horsed
back and forth between Stanton's
outfit and ours until you can't tell
the difference between your old
friends and a bunch of low-down,
conscienceless land-pirates. You pull
your gun and go to shooting when
ever you get ready. We'll stay with
you and try to hold up our end—and
John's. And you mark my words.
Dave; you're the man that's going to
get left in this deal; the straddler al
ways gets left." And with that he cut
the interview short and went back to
the High Line offices on the upper
floor.
CHAPTER XXII
Witnesses.
Driven by Starbuck in the brand
new car, Smith reached the dam at
half-past ten and was in time to see
the swarming carpenters begin the
placing of forms for the pouring of
the final section of the great wall.
Though the high water was lapping
at the foot timbers of the forming,
and the weather reports were still
portentous. Williams was in tine fet
tle. There had been no further inter
ferences on the part of the railroad
people, every man on the job was
spurting for the finish, and the suc
cessful end was now fairly in sight.
"We'll be pouring this afternoon,"
he told Smith, "and with a twenty
four-hour set for the concrete, and
the forms left in place for addition
al security, we can shut the spillway
gates and back the water into the
main ditch. Instead of being a hin
drance, then, the flood-tide will help.
Under slack-water conditions it
would take a day or two to finish
filling the reservoir lake, but now
we'll get the few feet rise needed to
fill the sluices almost while you
wait."
"You have your guards out, as we
planned?" Smith inquired.
"Twenty of the best men I could
find. They are patrolling on both
sides of the river, with instructions to
report if they see so much as a rab
bit jump up."
"Good. I'm going to let Starbuck
Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap
Soap should be u%ed very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its hest. Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and erreaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing ev
ery particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easv
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and a few ounces will supply every
member of the family for months.—

drive me around the lake limits to
see to it personally that your pickets
are on the job. But, first. I'd like
to use your phone for a minute or
two," and with that Smith shut him
self up in the small field office and
called Martin, the bookkeeper, at the
;own headquarters.
The result of the brief talk with
Martin seemed satisfactory, for when
it was concluded, Smith rang off and
asked for the Hophra House. Being
given the hotel exchange, he called
the number of Miss Richlander's
suite, and the answer came promptly
in her full, throaty voice:
"Is that you. Montague?"
"Yes. I'm out at the dam. Noth
ing has been done yet. No telegraph
ing. I mean. You understand?"
"Perfectly. But something is go
ing to be done. Mr. K. has had Col
onel B. with him in the bank. I saw
the colonel go in while I was at
breakfast. When are you coming
back to town?"
"Not for sometime; I have a drive
to make that will keep me out until
afternoon."
"Very well: you'd better stay away
as long as you can, and then you'd
better communicate with me before
you show yourself much in public. I'll
have Jlbbey looking out for you."
Smith said "good-bv" and hung up
the receiver with a fresh twinge of
dissatisfaction. Every step made his
dependence upon Vera Richlander
more complete. Corona Baldwin:
what would she she say to this new
est alliance? Would she not say again
and this time with greater truth,
that he was a coward of the basest
sort; of the type that makes no
scruple of hiding behind a woman's
skirts?
Between the noon-hour and the
one o'clock Hophra House luncheon.
Mr. David Kinzie, still halting be
tween two opinions, left his desk and
the bank and crossed the street to
the hotel. He wrote his name on a
card and let the clerk send it up. The
boy came back almost immediately
with word that Miss Richlander was
waiting in the mezzanine parlors.
The banker tipped the call-boy and
went up alone. He had seen Miss
Richlander, once when she was driv
ing with Smith and again at the the
ater In the same company. So he
knew what to expect when he tramp
ed heavily Into the parlor overlook
ing the street. None the less, the
dazzling beauty of the young woman
who rose to shake hands with him
and call him by name rather took
him off his feet. DaVid Kinzie was a
hopeless bachelor, from choice, but
there are women and women.
"Do you know, Mr. Kinzie, I have
been expecting you all day," she said
sweetly, making him sit down beside
her on one of the flaming red mon
strosities billed In the hotel inven
tories as "Louis Qulnze sofas." "My
father sent me a note by one of your
yeung men. and he said that perhaps
you would—that perhaps you might
want to —" Her rich voice was at its
fruitiest, and the hesitation was of
exactly the proper shade.
Kinzie. cold-blooded as a flsh with
despondent debtors, felt himself sud
denly warmed and moved to be gen
tle with this gracious young woman.
"Er—yes. Miss Richlander —er —a
disaereeable duty, you know. I want
ed to ask about this young man,
Smith. We don't know him very well
I here in Brewster, and as he has con
' siderable business dealings with the
j bank, we—that is, I thought your
father might be able to tell us some
thing about his standing in his home
| town.' 1
"And my father did tell you?"
"Well—yes; he—er—he says Smith
| is a—a grand rascal: a fugitive from
| justice; and we thought—" David
i Kinzie, well hardened in all the pro
j cesses of dealing with men, was ma
i king difficult weather of it with this
| all-too-beautiful young woman.
Miss Richlander's laugh was well
; restrained. She seemed to be strug
| gling earnestly to make it appear so.
"You business gentlemen are so
funny!" she commented. "You know,
lot course. Mr. Kinzie. that this Mr.
i Smith and I are old friends; you've
; probahly seen us together enough to
be sure of that. Hasn't it occurred
i to you that however well I might
know the Mr. Smith my father has
written you about. I should hardly
i car l to be seen in public with him?"
"Then there are two of them?"
Kinzie demanded.
The young woman was laughing
! again. "Would that be so very won
derful? —with so many Smiths in the
i world?"
"But—er the middle name, Miss
I Richlander: that isn't so infer —so
| very common, I'm sure."
"It is rather remarkable, isn't it?
1 But there are a good many Monta

as if he were a little ashamed of the
j "John.' "
"Then this Brewster Smith isn't
| the one who is wanted in Lawrence-,
ville for embezzlement and attempt
! Ed murder?"
"Excuse me," said the beauty, with
another very palpable attempt to
smother her amusement, "If you
| could only know this other' Smith. J.
Montague, as I remember him, was
a typical society man —the kind of
i man who wears dress clothes even
i when he dines alone, and who
j wouldn't let his beard grow over
night for a king's ransom. But wait
| a moment. There is a young gentle
jiian here who came last evening
j direct from Lawrenceville. Let me
send for him."
I She rose and pressed the bell push,
t and when the floor boy came, he was
| sent to the lobby to page Jibbey. Dur
i insr the little wait, David Kinzie was
I skillfully made to talk about other
. things. Jibbey was easily found, as it
appeared, and he came at once. Miss
I Richlander did the honors graciously.
"Mr. Kinzie. this is Mr. Tucker
Jibbey, the son of one of our Law
renceville bankers. Tucker Mr.
| Kinzie; the president of the Brewster
Citv National." Then, before Kinzie
I could begin: "Tucker. I've sent for
; vou in self-defense. You know both
Mr. John Smith, at present of Brew
ster. and also J. Montague Smith,
sometime of Lawrenceville and now
of goodness only knows where. Mr.
Kinzie is trying to make out that
they are one and the same."
Jibbey laughed broadly. He stood
in no awe of banks, bankers or stub
bly mustaches.

How an Artist's Model Lost S2O and What Happened

Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton
ALL the Empire effects are
fashionable and they are
so generally becoming to
little girls that dresses of this
sort are in demand. This skirt
is straight and as a result you
can use it for embroidery or
for other bordered material if
you like. The combination of
square neck and long sleeves is
a very pretty one and a very
fashionable one but for the very
warm weather some mothers
will like the short sleeves and
perhaps the short sleeves with
the high neck. Here, one of the
E>retty embroidered swiss mus
ins.that are so much used this
season, is shown.
For the 4-year size *will be
needed, 2 x /i yards of material
36 inches wide, 2 yards 44 or 2%
yards of flouncing 17 inches wide
with I yard of plain material 36.
The pattern No. 8946 is cut
in sizes for I, 2, 4 and 6 years.
It will be mailed to any address
by the Fashion Departm;nt of
this paper, cn receipt of ten

| Which was in great measure true.
I No artist liked to take a chance
|on a serious picture. The magazine
| editors clamored for pretty girl
! heads, and as the public buys the
| magazines, whose editors in turn
| pay the artists for doing the pic
'tures, there is a circle around which
; the law of supply and demand con-
I stantly revolves.
\ Tim Gregory grew tired of doing
pretty girl heads, and above all he
grew tired of making them pretty.
"It would be a relief to do a home
ly one," he would growl, "anything
at all to be different."
Tim used Marie a great deal. He
showed her smiling a little, he
showed her with an open laugh, he
| showed her with a smile peeping
j coquettishly from her eyes, and he
showed her with her pretty mouth
I in repose, but with the corners lift
j ed as though she were Just about to
break out into a grin. Marie grew
tired of it, of course, but as they
all took the pretty girl head as a
grim necessity that must be endured,
she and Tim used to get a great
deal of fun out of it.
Marie made a fairly good salary
posing. Of course it did not permit
of beautiful clothes and expensive
quarters, but then Marie did not
want these anyway. She wore the
picturesque things that people in
her position always wore, a soft
tam, and a one-piece dress open at
the throat. There were no standards
of dress among the artists and their
friends; people were judged by the
brain capacity they possessed and
I the quality of work they did.
But one day a really dreadful
thing happened to Marie. She lost
her pocketbook with twenty dollars
j in it while she was on her way to
i Tim's. Even though she retraced
| every step of the way the pocket-
I book was not to be found, and by
i the time Marie reached the studio
j her heart was heavy and her smiie
was missing. Tim heard the story
and he sympathized. He would have
made it up out of the generosity of
his boyish heart, but his funds were
low at present, and he still had sev
eral pictures in the process of de
velopment. So there was nothing to
be done at present but to make the
best of it, and Marie got up on the
model stand with sorrow in her
heart.
The old board that Tim had been
| using stood on the easel, but as
Tim glanced up at Marie's face he
stepped back and then smiled in
spite of himself.
"Say, Marie, you don't look much
like the picture, do you?"
Even Marie had to smile. The
picture on the easel was so obvious
ly joyous, and her own heart was
so heavy. How could she laugh to
day?
Tim was looking at her narrow
-1 ly. and suddenly with a look of de-
I termination he took down the half-
I finished picture and put on a fresh
] board. "Look at me, Marie," he said,
I "look just as you did before. I'm
I going to try an experiment." And
; With a few directions he began .a
picture of Marie Just, as she was,
■ the big, sorrowful eyes, one tear half
way down her cheek, and a sad lit-
I tie. down drooped mouth.
Marie wanted to protest; she knew
, Tim ought not to waste his time, but
she was too much wrapped up in
her own thoughts to care very much,
so she Jjust sat still while Tim work-
ed. And work he did. He worked
steadily all morning, and after a
light lunch he went at it again. At
3 o'clock he dismissed Marie and
tcok the half-finished picture with
him. It was a lovely thing in grays
and blues, but a laughing
picture. However, Tim had a convic
tion and he determined to see, be
fore he went any further with it,
whether he was right.
An hour later he banged on the
door of the room Marie shared with
another girl. v They were cooking
their supper between them, and as
Marie went to the door Tim could
see that she was still sorrowful.
"I've sold it," he gasped, delight
edly. "and I'm going to give you the
twenty dollars. They're paying me
twenty-five more than they did for my
last head, too, because Its different.
Now what do you think of your lost
pocketbook?" And with a whoop of
delight he was off again down the
stairs.
"Isn't that wonderful?" Marie said
to her roommate. "He's sold the
picture, Gladys."
"I know everything would come
out all right," said Gladys, the prac
tical. "And if you hadn't lost your
pocketbook he wouldn't have tried a
different type of head. My, life's
funny!"

that it will have to cease altogether
in two or three months more unless
