She never did think anything of Hank Brugerl She doeon’t know about the rumored blende seen with him at Hialeah . , , nor does oho know that the jockey Hank bribed to pull Stiuparee flatly denied there waa any blonde involved in the bribery.” “Naturally I won’t say anything,” Jim replied. “You know that Lova-a4ittle-Lotus is back in the domestic fold?** continued Julia. “Her old man elamped down on her flirtations! And higk time/” “I heard she was back in Lexington to stoy,” he said, in a diattteroeted tone. No one was present at the first meeting between Jkm and Am ... But be waa only allowed to remain far twenty miautoa, that initial visit Naturally, there was a oertain awkwardness on his part, of the patient was well aware. She was, Jnha noticed uneasily, very quiet after Jim had gone to his hotel. He arrived at visiting hoars next afteraeoa. Again they were alone. He had brought Ann a great bunch of fragrant violets, and placed them in a water glass by her bed. “It’s just as though tbe room were filled with Spring!” Ann told him softly, ia her musical voice. A paoae fallowed. He deared hie throat “I guess I haw aa apology to make to you, Aun. I did tkink you a—a sort of butterfly—keen on gambling and racing and that sort of thing—" “And mixed up with Hank Bruger? But it wasn’t true, Jim!" He’d told Julia he wooidat aay anything, bat he knew ft was right to speak naw. “I followed you from the Hialeah elubhouae that afternooa we were all there ... after the hone had 100 t... and I saw jma under the grandstand...with Haak Bruger...” Am said eagerly: “Listen, Mm. It waa Hank who told me nef to bet M Sttagorw. I innocently tipped you off to thaL remember? ...

I gueu you thought I waa in league with Hank whan you saw mt with him under the grandstand.” A thought struck her She faltered: •He terrified me.

I remember he eaught mo in his arms ... was it then you mw me!" "Yeo. And the Jockey collided with me as he ran from the grandstand,” Jim explained. Now at last she had a clear meatal picture of what Jim had thought. Their mtoundentanding. She said: “I mould have told you, if you’d given me a cbanee! But there was mere to Hank's threats, Jim. He said he'd ruin my reputation if I told what I’d moo and heard between him and the jockey. ...

"Forget it,” he soothed. "I don’t blame you, Ann. You ware on a nasty spot But whet you don't seem to know is that the track detectives got after Hank and the jockey, and there was a showdown, with Mr. Willard present. The jockey told all. I beard that Hank had double-crossed his gang . . . that he only handed half the promised reward to the jockey ... and kept the met for himeelf!” He added quietly: “There waa quite a piece about it ia the papers. The jwkty was suspended, of course. And Hank had to leave the State." She asked hurriedly: “But my name wasn't mentioned in the papers?
