V. hich I, ■ “ * NOW f.O ON WITH Till STORY CHAPTER XXXII 'Continued) His failure to roach her compelled him to notify Rose Poborlin of a delay in the plans they had made on his recent visit to the man's ‘ poultry farm.'’ Poberlin's wife complained over the letter. She said she’d been to a lot of trouble Tarrying out Huck's instruction.' She damned him up one side and down the other for his “swell’’ idea-s. Pamela, beautifully reeumbent upon her lacy pillows, where she wept fitfully and pitied herself for having lost her only brother, would have been amused the result of Rose Poberlin’s attempt to create ati atmosphere fit to receive her. Her amu,. < ment would have been shortlived, however, if Huck’s determination to introduce her to the Poberlins had been known to her. Knowing nothing of either Rose Poberlin or Huck’s plans, she bused herself with selecting becoming mourning garb. Baffled in his eflorts for the time be ng, Hack set. himself to devise so. ne way of breaking down the barrier she had erected between them. He was still unsuccessful when he received a message thatsent him in haste to see Duke Broggan. CHAPTER XXXIIT DUKE BROGGAN told Huck that the police did not regard Harold Judson's death as either an accident or suicide. Huck sat before him in his office and looked at him without so much as*a flicker ot his eyelids as he asked Duke what he thought that had to do with him. Duke twisted his lips- into a sardonic grin. “Just thought you'd like to knows” he answered easily. ‘‘They might try to pin it on you.” “Why?” “Why?" Duke stared at Huck in admiration. “Well a lot of people know that your racket with young Judson wasn’t on the up-and-up.” Huck did not answer directly. "Who passed you the information from headquarters?" he asked. Duke shook his head. “It’s straight,” he said, "and it'll cost you a century note.” Huck reached for his billfold. A little later, having learned all lhat Duke could tell him, he left. He did not consider the situation very serious. Unfortunately for him. Duke’s informant had not been in full possession of the facts in the case. Huck still was unaware of the discovery of his thumbprint, on the belt buckle. However, he decided not to ignore the warning Duke had given him.

“By the way. Crvs,” Tony remarked suddenly, as the two girls were getting ready for Sunday supper. “I forgot to tell you that I'll be leaving you Thursday morning, “Mom and Pop Ross have invited Pa: and me for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm to meet him there. If Peg were here, bless her social-climbing heart, she wouldn't let us go." “Your mother will come home for the—the wedding, I suppose?" “There isn't, going to be any wedding—just a ’Do you—?’ and ‘I do’ sort of an affair before a justice of the peace.” Tony answered defiantly. "It isn't a sacred, beautiful thing that I’m doing, and I refuse to have The Voice That. Breathed O'er Eden'' and eight bridesmaids pretending that it is. Just you and Pat. as witnesses, to make it legal.” “Oh. Tony, it's all so wrong, so wrong!'* Crystal wailed, unable to pretend casualness any longer. "Yes. isn't it?" Tony agreed, with that cynical shrug that bade fair to become characteristic. “But. darling Crys, paying the piper has never been considered a particularly gay sport. “But don't worry about me, honey. I'm going to be so busy contriving to make ends meet on Dick's sev-enty-five a week that I shan't have much time to feel sorry for myself.” “But I can't help feeling. Tony, that there is something sinister behind Mr. Talbot's rushing you into this marriage, when he's always been so bitterly opposed to it,” Crystal protested. . “Oh. let's not start that, again, or I'll go nuts," Tony begged. “Probably the explanation is very simple. I can't for the life of me see why Dick felt compelled to tell his father about last night, but since he did. maybe Mr. Talbot took the attitude that his son had compromised me and therefore had to do right’ by me. “Or maybe the old boy has been studying eugenics on the sly and has come to the conclusion that some lusty red Irish blood will mix well with the Talbot blue blood. . . . Let's go down to supper. I'm starved. ’ That last evening of Cherry's week-end house party was a hilarious one. Harry Blaine read the hastily written first act of his Christmas play—a clever burlef'^

\nd while he acted on it by giving ttp his suite at the Judson and going into semi-retirement. Mildred ; was doing her bit to tighten the | chain o evidence about him. a a a I "'OR in spite of what the newspapers said some leaned on the mi de theory while others suspected it to be an accident —she did no* believe that Harold's death was either. She had learned of it the night it happened. Driven nearly frantic by Harold's failure to come to her as he had promised, she telephoned after several hours of waiting and w.r told bv the operator who recOKtii/ed her voice, that he was dead. Her mother came upon her a few mnutes later, sitting blank faced, with her hands gripped on the instrument as though frozen there. Mrs. Lawrence cried out in alarm. Mildred's nerves seemed suddenly to melt as her mother rushed toward her. With a little, moaning cry. she slipped to the floor in a huddled heap. The next day she was calm enough to go to Stephen and tell him all that had preyed on her mind so torturingly since his arrest. He listened in silence. "You must appeal to your family and get a lawyer now. Mildred said to him when she finished telling of Harold's subjugation to Huck. Stephen looked at her a bit. hopelessly, she thought. She had expected him to be excited. Asa matter of fact, he was excited, but her story had presented sides to him that had escaped Mildred. Besides. lie suspected that she had not told him everything. They were facing each, other on the hard bench in his cell. Stephen reached out to take her hands in his. "You don't believe Harold met his death accidentally or by suicide, do do?" he asked as quietly as he could. "Os course not,” Mildred ananswered unguardedly. “I’m sure someone killed him!” “Because he was ready to talk? You said that, didn’t you?" Mildred nodded. "I think he was. If he’d come to me that night and I’d told him about the way they tlireatened me. ...” She stopped in sudden confusion, remembering she had not told Stephen of the attempt to silence her.

STEPHEN leaned forward and tugged at her hands. "There,” he exclaimed. “I knew you were keeping something back! Don't you see? If they murdered that kid because they thought he was about to make a confession to you they must be afraid of you, Mildred.” “But Harold is dead.” Mildred quavered. "What can they do now?” “What can they do? If they find out what you've told me they . . .” He paused, but Mildred read his unspoken thought. “I'm not afraid.” she said. “I know you’re not," Stephen declared warmly, “but with all we know, or believe, we haven’t any proof.” “I can swear that Harold knew Huck was planning to do you some injury from which he might have saved you if he hadn’t been a—coward." She spoke the last word apologetically. "But you can’t swear that, he was responsible for this car theft,” Stephen pointed out. "I know he was afraid of Huck: that Huck had something with which he blackmailed him’’ "But just knowing it doesn't do us any good. Your unsupported

of the lushly sentimental Victorian melodrama—and Cherry insisted upon its being acted, the impromptu cast reading their lines. Crystal was pressed into service as the pious, gray-haired mother of the villain-menaced heroine, played by Tony, and Cherry reveled in the ! ;;art of the wicked, glamorous : Trench adventuress. The only near-unpleasantness came when Nils Jonson. cast as the heroine’s stern father, appeared to Cherry's jealous eye to take a rather too enthusiastic advantage of the script’s stage direction: “Takes wife in arms and kisses her soothingly.” "Do you think it’s necessary to be quite so realistic. Nils?” Cherry j dropped her “French adventuress” I role to demand sarcastically. But all of them, including Crystal, ! laughed at her so joyously that Cherry could not stay angry. It was nearly midnight when Harry Blaine and George Pruitt left for the city. Harry promising to telephone Crystal the next day in ; regard to the job he hoped to get I for her on his paper.

She felt guilty over feeling so i happy, when Tony was so miserable, ! underneath her gallant gayety. . . (To Be Continued)

word isn't sufficient to incriminate I him. Mildred.” Mildred leaned back and looked I at him with a doubt growing in her mind that caused her to draw her hands away from him. "Aren’t you going to do anything about what I’ve told you?” she | asked. For a few seconds Stephen evaded | her direct glance; then he looked ! up. "What can I do?" he asked simply. Mildred stood up. A lump in her I throat choked her. Stephen stood, ! too. and struggled with a tempta- ! tion to tell her why he couldn't act. j He hated to have her think he didn’t appreciate all she had done for him. ' I think I understand,” Mildred ! said, striving to subdue the catch !in her voice. "You don’t want to drag Pamela's name into it.” Stephen started and opened his mouth to speak; then closed it to a firm, hard line. He could not tell her that it was her own safety he was thinking of. She was too fearless. Better to have her think he was protecting Pamela than let her risk her life. "If there was any proof.” he said doubtfully and stopped. a a u \ LAWYER might find proof,” Mildred retorted, "but. if you want, to stay here in jail just because ..." "If T promise to get a lawyer will you give me your word not to say anything to anyone about all this?” Stephen pleaded suddenly. Mildred's unsteady chin went up several inches. “If I can prove that Harold was murdered I'll do it,” she said lyStephen grasped her by the j shoulders. "Keep out of it, please,” ! lie begged. “I ll wire dad for some money and engage a lawyer. He'll put a detective to work and maybe we can i turn up something on Connor, but I don’t, want you mixed up in it, Mildred." He paused and added, purposely to mislead her, “you might make a wrong move.” Mildred jerked herself away from him. “W4hy shouldn’t every' one know that Huck hated you because he was jealous of Pamela?" she asked. “I ll do what I think I ought to, regardless of her." Stephen groaned, but Mildred was adamant. She left him without giving the premise he had tried to extract. She’d have gone straight to the police, but she knew that her word alone would not free Stephen. “But I’ll see Mr. Judson,” she declared to herself emphatically. “Surely he won’t let Pamela stand in the way of bringing Huck to justice.” Thereafter she telephoned the hotel twice daily until she learned when Mr. Judson was expected to land in New York. She could not leave her work, to be at the pier when his boat docked but she went without her lunch that noon to go to the hotel and ask to see him. There was a long wait before she was told that he was not seeirfg any one. Mildred appreciated the fact that it was an inopportune time to seek him and departed without pressing her request. , She waited until the day after Harold was buried before trying again to reach his father. She was refused admittance to his presence a second time. And when, on her third visit, he declined to see her, she lost her patience and sent up a plea that was almost a demand. “She insists she’s got to see you, sir,” the page who carried her mesage said to the worn-looking man who had hurried across the ocean to bury his only son, Mr. Judson's eyebrows drew together in a forbidding scowl. He considered Mildred's request to see him the height of brazenness. His mind was filled with ihe picture of all that had remained of his boy when they opened the coffin and allowed him to view the poor broken body. What could this- girl want but to promote some selfish scheme? an a HE sent word down to her thathe would not see her now or ever. A few questions put to Pamela* had convinced him that Mildred wasa heartless fortune hunter. He had no doubt she wanted to urge some money claim upon him. He knew what wealthy men had to deal with. Probably Harold had promised this girl to marry her. Mildred was in despair. She could guess the truth. She knew that Pamela must have lied about her to bring about her discharge from the hotel in the first place. Very likely she had added to her story since her father's return. Stephen noted her depression when she went to see him after staying away for several days. “What's wrong?” he asked sharply. fearful that she had drawn the wrath of his enemies upon her head. “Have you written to your father” she countered. Stephen said he had. “And I'm glad you came in." he added, “because I’ve taken a liberty with you by giving dad your address.” (To Be Continued!
