It was a familiar suite to him. He had spent many hours there, first in reckless gaming with Huck and his iriends and then in violent contentions with the latter when he realized that he was caught in the frap that had been sprung upon him. Huck greeted him w ith less of his usual cool urbanity. “Come in,” he said crisply. Harold closed the door behind him. but without taking his eyes from Huck’s face. Something was in the wind. So much was plain, and Harold sensed that whatever it was it foreboded further trouble for him. Never before had he seen Huck so openly agitated. Ordinarily the man was masterly in his calm, suave domination of any situation. Huck did not offer him a cigaret, which as a rule was his first mocking gesture at these sessions. Always it had infuriated Harold. The small attention to his creature pleasure, coming from a man whom he knew to be as ruthless regarding his soul as the devil himself, never failed to whip the boy into a fever of impotent rage. But now, missing the gesture, he experienced a cold dread. It indubitably had taken a matter of immensely disturbing proportions to upset Huck. And he was upset,. His fare was almost drained of blood, but his eyes gleamed sataniotslly and there was even the hint of a suppressed snarl upon his thin wicked-looking lips.

a a a HAROLD made no motion to seat himself, standing where he Was just within the door, while Ifuck made a few more quick turns Up and down the room. Finally he wheeled upon Harold ' :;ls voice came like the sound of cracking ice. .“When did Pamela become engaged to Armitage?'’ he asked, snapping the words off in brittle ilits, and even the silence in which he waited for Harold to answer was 'ioquent. ..The boy had no answer. He was ♦aken too much unawares. He merely looked his surprise. Huck's lips began to twist into a cruel smile. “So you won't talk? 's>ll, if it w'as a secret, let me tell you it's out now. She gave me the information herself.’’

“As soon as Dick had agreed to cancel my debt to him in just one Tony began eagerly, so great was her need for complete confession. '• I was in a fever to t it over with. Funny. Crys?" “I hate him!" Crystal interrupted vehemently. “I don't —he's not important enough to hate.’’ Tony answered. But—that makes it all the worse doesn't it? . . . . Anyway. 1 wanted to get it over with as soon as possible, and told him so. It seemed so—so sordid. But I'd given my promise, and T let him make the plans. I remember he said something about raj' picture having been in the papers so much lately that it would be hard for us to go anywhere that would be—safe. “Somehow that got me to thinking about Sandy, and how he'd stood beside me in most of these newspaper snapshots, and I felt so sick I didn't even hear the name of the town Dick decided on. “Well, when we got to Darrow. we found that Cherry and Nils and Harry Blaine had already arrived and gone into the movie theater. Their car was parked about a block away, and there was a kidding note —written by Cherry, of course—telling us to join them at the movie if we ever got. to Darrow. “We parked behind their car. On the corner was a drug store with a pay telephone booth, and next to it a 5-and-10 store. Dick reminded me that I'd have to trump up some excuse to get away from Cherry. “Lies. Crys! Funny, when I come to think of how little lying I’ve done Ml mv life. Always loathed lying, "ven social white lies to get out of dates. I it's an extra-special sort cf vanity—thinking yourself too gpod to lie. even to save other people's feelings " “Then thank God for vanity!" Crystal whispered, hugging Tony closer. “Be that cs it may." Tony went dg\. an.* Crystal knew that jTony was grinning for the first time since she had come in that night. "I felt jow after I'd called up Anita belle and sent her off on a silly ejrrand. t”To!d her to buy me a pair of hiking boots and to call me up at the Jonson farm early in the evening to let me know whether she’d found

“I didn't know anything about it,” Harold mumbled, then, his courage mounting, he added: “But I'm damned glad of it," Huck took a hurried step toward him and for a second Harold , thought there would be a physical j encounter. He knew he and come out ol it like a steak put through a food ! chopper, but he didn't care. He’d even dared Huck to fight him on several occasions. i But Huck halted. Hands were | not his chief weapons of com’nat. ! A sneer replaced die smile on his j face. ‘ You may be damned glad to ; know that you're going to put a j stop to it." he said hoarsely. “Not for you,” Harold replied de- ! flantly. “You've compelled me to follow/ your instructions about other thing but you'll overreach your, self if you try to interfere with : Pamela.” “Interfere with her?” Huck 'reared. “I’ll own her! I know- the i little game's she’s been playing, j Young Armitage wasn't coming j through to suit her, so she used me. ! -‘lt's an old trick; maybe it worked, but she was out of luck when she picked me to be the fall guy. Now you'll get busy and ca- | ble your old man that Armitage is N. G. If you need proof I'll furnish it.” • Fake, it you mean," Harold re- | torteti. Huck did not answer, hut hurried over to his desk and picked up a sheet of paper on which he had written out the message he meant to force Harold to cable to his fa- : ther. But w-hen he sought to thrust it | upon the boy, Harold would not I take it. “I’ll not do it,” he cried, | trying valiantly to look Huck in the i eye. “All right,” Huck said levelly. “I I won't waste time arguing with you. Either this message goes to your | father over your signature or I'll i cable him myself in regard to that little matter of the check with his name on the dotted line—the check he never saw.” Harold cringed. “You’ll go too far,” he warned desperately. “You can’t handle Pamela, that way. A word from dad and she'd marry Armitage before any one could stop her.”

HUCK seemed to find Harold's w’erds convincing; at least they, were sufficient to arrest his action and give him food for thought. Harold saw his advantage and pressed it earnestly. “You’ve got to leave me out of this.” he declared hotly. “You can't use me to help you win my sister. If I thought you had a chance with her I’d tell the truth about you, you. ...” “Even if it sent you to prison?” Huck flicked at him viciously. “It wouldn’t. You don't know my father.” “Oh. yes, I do,“ Huck told him tauntingly. “Why, you poor fool, do you imagine I don't know my business? Every man in my racket has your name as a mark. “But I happened to have special knowledge concerning you. I know that your old man warned you even when you were a junior in college—as far as you got. wasn't it?—that he wouldn't stand for a repetition of that one act of yours—that careless little habit you were getting into of forging his name. You weren’t to repeat it, you know ” Harold gasped at him, dumbfounded. as he tossed the words off like so many irrelevant formations of the alphabet. “No. I'm not superhuman." he

the kind I wanted and was going to mail them. Os course it wasn't Pat calling me. “You knew I was lying about that, and I couldn't bear to meet your eyes. Cherry wasn't taken in either, I'll bet. and I suppose she's keeping poor Nils awake now. while she speculates on just what Tony Tarver was up to this evening. “I was going home in the morning. tell poor Pat what I'd done, and let him have the paternal privilege of kicking his daughter out of the hause if he wanted to." “And have him go gunning for Dick Talbot?" Crystal interrupted. “Oh, I was going to tell him the truth—that Id done that rather than marry Dick,” Tony answered. "I’ll bet Pat would have kept his shirt on, but now I’ll never know just how he would have behaved. “Probably he’d have gone primitive. like any other father. .. . Anyway, after I'd fixed it with Annabelle to call me. Dick reminded me of something else. Oh, he wasn’t forgetting anything. “I believe I accused him of being experienced when he told me I'd better go into the Five-and-Ten and buy myself a wedding ring—" (To Be Continued. 1

went on as Harold continued to stare speechlessly at him. “Just the turn of fortune. You ought to know by this time that we place our men, members of intelligence service,” he amplified, “in every strategic position we can reach. “It chanced, if I was correctly informed”—here he paused to let what he had to say sink with its full import into the astounded boy's mind —“that you were still in bed one morning during your Easter vacation here when your father came to you with the evidence of your crime in his hand and a flat ultimatum which he ladled out to you in regular stern parental fashion.” Huck was enjoying himself now. He'd been holding back this figurative ace in the hand he played against Harold until such time as the boy threatened to get out of control. Well, he had threatened and it gave Huck back a measure of his composure to put him on the pan ar.d make him dance. “Both of you forgot, or rather your father did not know, that a valet was busy in theadjoining bathroom, with the door partly open,” he went, on quietly. “That valet hoppened to be a man who had served me for some time.”

FTAROLD seemed to totter under 1 this blow, but the next moment he had drawn himself up in a last effort to bluff it out. “What of it, you dirty spy?” he cried half sobbingly. “What, of it?” Huck echoed lightly. “Well, here’s what of it. You’ll do anything before you’ll let me send that check you gave me to your father. You’re too clever for that. “If you weren’t clever you wouldn’t have thought of dating it back two weeks so that it would appear enough time had elapsed for you to have received it from abroad. Not even I would have suspected you if T hadn’t known you were in a hole.” “Yes, damn you,” Harold cried furiously; “a hole you got me in.” Huck was not disturbed by his vehemence. “Quite so,” he said easily; “a hole I got you in to make an ally of you. You see we needed the entree you could give us to the right people. So we had to take you by the hand, little boy, and lead you to the slaughter.” He stopped and surveyed the tormented creature before him with sinister affability. Harold couldn't endure it. He staggered over to the nearest chair and dropped down with his face in his hands. Huck pretended to be touched. “You'll have nothing to worry about.” he said smoothly, “when Pamela and I are married. No. be quiet." he rasped as Harold jerked up his head to speak. “You can't stop it, but I'll promise to give the check back to you and sever all our ...er .. . business relations, just to have your help now . . “I won’t send that message!” “You would if I wanted you to, but I don't. You were right. Pamela would bolt. I just want you to keep your mouth shut. After Pamela and I are married I'll give you the check.” “You'll never main’ her.” Harold choked, but there w r as stark terror behind the words. Huck laughed. He was perfectly calm now. Torturing Harold had quieted him. “No?” he mocked. "Well, get this. Neither you nor Armitage will stop me. I’ll soon have that heel out of the way.” (To Be Continued i

FIRE SHOP ,TO MOVE Repair Department Will Occupy Shelby Barns. Plans for removal of the fire department repair shop to the Shelby street bams are underway. Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell said today. The barns formerly were used to house mules of the street cleaning department, which recently was motorized. It is planned to erect the fire drill tower at Engine House 30, South and New Jersey streets, where the repair shop is located at present. Erection of anew fire engine house to replace Station 19 at Harding and Morris streets was recommended by Building Commissioner William F. Hurd, who declared the building is in bad condition. The request was sent to the board of works which has jurisdiction over city buildings. Mayor L. Ert Slack said there had been discussion of anew fire house at Hawthorne lane and Washington street to serve Irvington and a station on Forty-sixth street to serve the new Butler-Fairview district. The longest flight reported for a banded bird was made by a fledgling arctic tern, which flew from Turnevik Bay. Labrador to Margate, fifteen miles southwest of Port Shepstone. Natal. South Africa.
