Orinning unpleasantly, with his
dark mouth twisted even more than
was natural, Dick West advanced upon
me with a jeering, scornful bow.
"Isn't it pleasant and friendly of
me to follow you home for a cosy little
visit like this, Mrs. Jimmie?" he asked.
"Aren't you going to ask me in?"
"Why did you follow me?" I asked,
controlling a voice that wanted to
tremble and leaning heavily against
the door to take the weight off my
my throbbing ankle.
"To talk to you. fair lady. Who
wouldn't?" he replied smoothly too
smoothly. "Aren't you going to ask me
in for a pleasant tete-a-tete? I think
wo can come to terms while hubby and
his new chum Tom Mason arc dining
at the hotel and waiting for Richard
to show up."
"I am most certainly not going to
ask you in," I said steadily, hoping
that Dick West wouldn't find out that
I had no way of getting into my apart
ment even if I wanted to. "And if Jim
and Mr. Mason are waiting for you at
the hotel, my friendly advice to you is
—beat it. Hurry down there before
they begin to get annoyed."
"Are you trying to get rid of me?"
he frowned. "That's foolish. The ele
vator isn't running and I'm not in the
mood to walk down all those flights.
No, you don't!" he concluded roughly,
anticipating my intention as I started
toward the elevator shaft.
The hammering and pounding that
was already going on made it hopeless
for me to shout, but if once I could get
my finger on the bell and ring insist
ently enough perhaps I would be able
to arouse suspicion, and someone
might come up the stairs to see what
I wanted.
"Now be a little more friendly
you can afford to be," said Dick West
in a voice at once wheedling and
threatening. "You haven't been a bit
nice to me heretofore, but I think I'm
going to be able to persuade you to
treat me a little better from now on.
Say, why don't we go in and talk this
over? Ring the bell."
"I don't care to," I said evenly.
"No? Then I will."
Dick West pressed his finger to the
button. I could hear the bell peal
through the apartment, but, as I had
known there was no answer.
"Oho—maids out?" he said at last.
"Well, that's all right. Give us the
key. We can talk more sociably with
out anyone butting in on us."
"I haven't my key," I said, with
something very like a prayer of
thanksgiving.
"Oh haven't you, now?" he
taunted. "Here, give us your purse
and let's see. You may like standing
out in this blooming little entry way
—but I could do very well with a nice
chair and you opposite me, little Anne.
He snatched my bag as he spoke and
went through it with fumbling fingers
that missed nothing. Standing there
in oold fury, with my ankle sending
twinges of agony through my whole
body, I felt as if I'd like to throttle
Dick West for the insolent indecency
with which he handled everything in
my bag. I forgot to be afraid, but
fear stirred again as he flung the bag
at me with a muttered curse.
His manner was so uncontrolled, so
full of furious menace that I hardly
recogrized in this wild-eyed creature
the once suave man I had known. I
wondered what had come over him
and then with terrifying certainty my
biain supplied the clue. Drugs! The
man was under the crazing influence

of some powerful drug. I didn't know
whether his presence there in the hall
way, where I was powerless to escape
him, was a worse menace to him or
to me.
'Just how did you happen to find
mr. at home?" I asked, searching my
mind for the right thing to say.
"Oh, I was waiting around Mason's
house for something to drop and
then you dropped right down from the
sky," he replied, grinning craftily. "I
picked up a taxi and followed your
trail. Thought I might be able to
make a clever woman like you see
sense where men would be fools
enough to fight. No use in Mason
and Jim trying to freeze me out in
this game. I've' got all the trumps
now. Does my story interest you
strangely?"
"It interests me," I replied as stead
ily as I could. "Go on."
"You've stood in my 'light before,
little girl. Now we'd better under
stand each other and be friends. You
stole Phoebe from me. Give me a
kiss and I'll forget about that."
My heart fluttered and sank. But
smilingly I ventured a placating re
sponse.
"Business first, Mr. West. If you
want me to be on your side hadn't
you better give me the facts before
Jim comes?"
"Righto! Little cutie is some busi
ness woman. Well, it's like this. I've
started promoting some oil stock.
Maybe we have the wells. Maybe we
haven't started drilling yet. But our
claims are located near the district
where the fellows Jim's working for
are located. Now Jim and this Mason
chap are too darn suspicious. They
want to investigate my properties. And
I'm not ready for that yet. Making
money for the first time since you per
suaded Jimmie to chuck me. Now you
persuade him to give me time. If you
don't, how will you explain this tete
a-tete of ours to-night? If he doesn't
see reason, how's ho going to stop—the
damaging stories about his friend
Crosby that I'm in a position to circu
late? t And if I give Crosby away and
he ducks from town Where's Jim
going for a backer?"
"It's ail too much for me." I said,
trmporizing, praying that Jim would
come and put an end to my agony,
mental as well as physical. I don't
quite understand. I'm not much of a
business woman, you see."
"You're not?' sneered Dick West.
"You are a business woman and a star
as well as a littie beauty, for all you
look so pale and tired. Now give me
a kiss to seal the bargain, and we'll
come to an amicable agreement where
you call off ;he dogs—hubby and Tom.
If you don't, kid—if you don't, I'll get
you as sure as fate. What say? Do
I get my kiss and a chance to cop a
few dollars from poor simps who are
crying to have it taken away from
them? Or do Jimmie and Annie and
Lane and his Yal all go down in the
dustheap together? Two minutes, kid.
Think lively. It's up to you to decide,
and decide right. Two minutes. One
hundred and twenty seconds. Fifteen
of 'cm gone already!"

German Police Dogs
Being Brought Over
Paris, Aug. 23. America will
he overrun with German police dogs
if the dog-catchers at the ports in
the United States where the return
ing troops land do not put an em
bargo on the German product.
All the soldiers and marines from
the Rhine districts bring police
dogs to Paris. Officers, doughboys
and girl workers with the army
lead them through the Paris streets.
The American troop trains passing
through Belgium and Luxemburg
on their way to French ports all
carry a great assortment of the
German canines.
Red Cross workers, Young Men's
Christian Association workers and
members of the Young Women's
Christian Association have been
won over by the German police dogs
and are taking them back to
America. Most of the canines have
pedigrees showing that their grand
father was a wolf. They are all
grey, about the size of a shepherd
dog with the pointed nose and
sharp erect ears of a wolf.

CHAPTER XL.VII

"You understand, don't you.
Smith?"
The chauffeur tried by a mighty
effort to bring his mind back to the
instructions Miss Leighton was giv
ing him.
He had been thinking how beauti
ful she was ae she stood before him
in her evening gown, a strin j of
pearls about her fair throat, the
color coming and going in ler
cheeks. He wished in a vague way
that* her amethyst pendant had been
ready for wear this evening. It
would have been pleasant to feel
that she was wearing something
that had been hie aunt's. It would
seem like a slight link between him
and this girl who was so far beyond
him.
He wondered what Samuel Leigh
ton had been saying about him that,
had caused her to take the other
side of the argument. She had been
pleading in his favor. The knowl
edge made his head feel light and
excited him strangely.
"I—l—beg your pardon!" he.
stammered in renly to her query.
"I—yes, Miss Leighton—l think I
understand."
"You are to have a large lump of
ice in the bowl and pour the punch
with the fruit in it directly on the
ice a half-hour before it is needed,"
she said.
"I understand," he bowed grave
ly. "And you wish me to serve it?"
"Yes—unless you would prefer
my asking one of the other gen—
I mean unless you prefer not doing
it."
"I prefer doinfl just what you
wish me to do, Miss Leighton," he
replied. "I am here to be of serv
ice to you."
The pair were alone in the dining
room and she raised her eyes to
his.
"I believe you mean that," she
murmured.
There was a wistfulness in her
tone that made him say abruntlv:
"You are troubled about some
thing. I wish I could help you.
Can I?"
A Confession
She followed a swift impulse as
she said—"lt is about my pendant."
"Your pendant?" he repeated.
"Yes—the amethyst pendant. Oh,
I am sure you know absolutely
nothing about it!"
He was silent. Did she suspect
that he had seen the pendant years
before she became its possessor?
"You don't—do you?" she in
sisted.
He must answer. He chose his
words with care, as one walking ui
the dark takes a cautious step foi
w*ard.
"I know it belonged to a dea.
friend of yours—and that she left
it to you." he began. '
"How did you know that?" Oo
slree demanded quickly.
His wits worked very fast. Ho
had been near making a great mis
take.
"You told me as much," he re
minded her. "That is, you told me
—when I found the pendant in the.
car and returned it to you—that it
had belonged to some one who
cared for you."
"Oh, yes; so I did!" she exclaim
ed. "And your returning it to me
only proves" She stopped shore
"Proves what?" he asked curious-

ly. Her perturbation amazed him.
"Only," she said vaguely, "that
you knew it was mine."
He was sure she was not voicing
her thought. Yet his next speecli
did not betray this fact.
"Yes. I knew it was yours," iic
said lightly. "It was in your car,
you know."
"Yes," she admitted, "but on that
day you had driven Miss Goc'i
dard"
She got no further, for a gay
voice interrupted her. Helen God
dard had come into the dining
room.
"Who is taking my name lightlv
upon profane lips?" she demandcS
gayly. "Mrs. Duffield said I would
find you in here.
"Good evening. Smith!" with a
roguish smile at the man. "I sea
you are acting the part of butler
to-night. Well, Miss Leighton is in
luck to have you.
An Offer Accepted
"I say, Desiree, my dear, why not
let me turn in to help you? Mrs.
DufTleld just told me the trouble
you have been having to get some
one to serve things this evening.
I know how you want things done,
so if you are bflsy with your guests
!et Smith come to me for instruc
tion. won't you?"
"Thank you, dear," Desiree re
plied.
She was too much confused to
raise any objection to this sugges
tion. Indeed, she felt suddenly re
moved that Helen was present to
lester. the complications of the situ
ation. Helen always kept her head,
whereas she, Desiree Leighton, was
dazed by her recent conversation
with her father, by her own cer
tainty of Smith's innocence, and
most of all by.the effect upon her
self of his looks and manner. Her
heart was beating fast, and she
wanted to run away and cry all
alone.
What did all this mean? Was she
going to make a fool of herself over
a man whom she scarcely knew—
and that man her father's chaur
feur?
She laid her hand on Helen's arm.
"Thank you, dear," she repealed.
"I have been a bit disturbed as ..o
how I could be in the drawing room,
or at the table with my guests, and
yet see that all was going well iu
the pantry. Annie is not very com
petent. Smith will do his best. But
he is," with an effort at a smile,
"new at the game of butlering."
"I will give him points when it's
time to serve the eats," Helen as
sured her. "He'll get on all right;
won't you, Smith?"
David answered respectfully. "I
hope so."
Helen flashed a glance at him as
she followed Desiree from the room.
In the hall she detained her host
ess for a moment. "I declare, De
siree," she said, "he's so handsome
and charming you are wise to keep
him in the pantry. If he were to
come out here some girl would grab
him as the most eligible party of tlic
evening!"

Executive Flim-Flam
Hurts U. S. Beanmen
Washington, Aug. 23.—That the
Administration has succeeded in
keeping secret for six months the
fact that an investigation was con
ducted last February into the mo
tives surrounding the purchase of
thousands of tons of oriental beans
for army and European relief pur
poses, instead of American-grown
beans which were produced in enor
| mous quantities at the Government's
urgent request has been revealed to
the Senate and House Committees
on Agriculture by G. A. Turner,
president of the California Bean
Growers' Association.
"Undue inlluence was used in
persuading the Government to buy
these oriental beans," said Mr.
Turner, "with the result that more
than half of the California crop has
had to be sold at a loss."
Mr. Turner cited this incident as
illustrative of the evils growing out
of the drastic powers conferred up
on the Administration during the
war. He said that it was hoped that
these powers would not be renewed.
"I believe that the less restraint
we have upon production and sales
the better the country will be," he
concluded, "although we all favor
legislation which will crush the
profiteer."

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
The other evening, on a Fifth Ave
nue bus, I happened to be an unwill
ing witness of a tragi-comedy that
might have been called. "How to Lose
a Beau."
The heroine of the comedy was
verry pretty in a frail, pallid sort of
way—her too white skin suggested
a gardenia, or a white hyacinth, it
was so smooth and fine, so utterly
devoid of color. She was very smart
and modish, and her eyes were well
worth a second look.
But alack and alas, the moment she
opened her mouth, the illusion van
ished. For she belonged to what
might be called the "I sez" school of
conversationalists and she grated on
the ear like a file.
The young man with her was of
the nervous highly strung American
type whose clothes suggested good
care rather than quality. Y'ou would
have picked him lor a winner, the
length of a city block. The sort of
young man who is taken into the
firm at $lB a week and climbs
steadly. He was proud of the girl, he
enjoyed the little stir her appearance
caused when they entered the bus.
His eyes dwelt appreciatively on her
clothes which some unerring instinct
of taste had made her select most
happily.
But her good taste stopped with her
clothes. No one had ever told her that
"a low sweet voice is an excellent
thing In woman. Htr's was off the bur
gain counter and it was hardly worth
taking home.
ller Ho lighter Too Well Raised
She began her monologue with:
"It's fierce the way she nags. When
I took that room 1 was to have the
privilege of getting my meals in the
kitchen—paying extra for the gas. of
course. She sez I left my dishes in th*
sink an' I was to wash 'um and put
'um away. An' I sez, If you'll inquire
you'll find it was your own daughter
that lef those dishes in the sink, 'n
she sez. my daughter is too well rais
ed for that—"
We looked at this apparent prin
cess in exile, clad in the daintiest of
satin skirts, the filmiest of blouses,
the smartest of slippers—and we won
dered what wicked fairy had been
present at her birth and etirsed her
witli such a voice, such an accent and
the extra burden of "I sez."
New, it was perfectly apparent to
anyone who glanced at the y°""f
man s perturbed forehead that he did
not care for that "line of talk. ' Tt did
not fit into the picture, such a radiant
vision of delicacy and whiteness
oughtn't to be talking of kitchen
sinks and unwashed cups.
A short-storv moon was shining in
the heavens. It was a night made for
levers and midsummer madness, and
here was the prettiest girl chattering
of the most sordid things in a voice
and accent that had no business in
private life at all. Its place was on tne
vaudeville stage, where it would have
been worth SIOO a week at least.
Come Out of the Kltelien. Mary
The ambitious young man, with
such tact as he could command, tried
a sort of "come out of the kitchen,
Mary." hut she continued: "And she
passes for refined, too, yet she is al
wavs nosing through my things and

High Coal Prices
Menace the Iron

I tiers arc plentiful. Importation of
i coal from Germany is completely

! equivalent of $2 2.50 a ton and coal
