T think I will!” Ste-! phen told her, and there was a ring j of satisfamion in his voice that lift- i ed all but a faint shadow of Mil- j red's depression. Stephen was on his feet, walking rapidly up and down. Now he stopped before her and Mildred j sensed that he was about, to say something important. “Just out of a clear sky," he began indirectly; "just like that.” He manned his fingers. “I got it.” “Got what?" “The dope on Connor. I remembered where T'd seen him before.” CHAPTER XXXIV MILDRED was speechless with excitement. She watched Stephen with the parted lips and wideopen eyes of a person utterly overcome. He took a few more strides up and down and then paused again to go on with his disclosures about Huck Connor. “It was out in Indiana,” he said; “in my home town. You know I worked for a bier distributing agency out there. Well. I had some halfbaked ideas to get out of my system.” He looked at Mildred sheepishly, but she nodded sympathetically. He went on then to tell her about the cars that had been stolen from his .firm “But I’ll bet your idea helped to sell a lot more.” Mildred declared defensively. “I can see how it would work. A man buys a car and Just because it’s his it's one of the best. By the time he'd driyen one of your oars a few miles all by himself he thought, he owned it. I think it was a marvelous idea. Stephen.” Stephen puffed his chest a bit. “Well." he said with a trifle of reluctance. “I though it was pretty i good, myself, and it worked, too, until Connor and his gang ...” “Huck!" “He's a crook all right, Mildred. We didn't suspect him then, but I'm , wise now. A week or two before the big coup was pulled off he dropped in to look at our cars and :

THE NEW Saint^Sinnor ByJlnneJlustjii e K?2B a> NEA. SECYTOL tsX.

During the next few days—between Sunday and Thanksgiving Thursday—it became obvious to Crystal that Tony was as changed • as she herself was. A great deal of the old gay carelessness and debonair nonchalance which had been one of Tony's chief charms was gone, possibly never to return. The truth was. Crystal told i herself, that Tony Tarver was growing up. And to hei adoring chum, the pathetic part of it was that Tony was deliberately forcing her own . maturity so that it might be a much-needed prop in the new life which she was facing, unwillingly, but courageously, as Dick Talbot's wife. Crystal, who had so recently gone through the pangs of a spiritual rebirth. tried to be helpful by being unobtrusive, but she could not repress an occasional pang of jealousy , when she observed the growing intimacy between Tony and Rhoda Jorvson. "I didn't invle you out here to become Rhoda s assistant cook. Tony." Cherry complained at luncheon on Tuesday. "We really can afford a hired cook in the kitchen, but Rhoda fired each of the two we •tried out. and insisted on keeping 1 the job herself. ‘ But there's no need of your l spending half your time in the : kitchen. I may be a poor sort of - hostess, but I can plan better entertainment for you than that. Tony.’’ "Meaning no offense —I don't i thmk you could." Tony retorted, laughing. “If you've never tried it. | you can't imagine what a kick there ►. is in being a mother of a perfect apple pie. or the artist who con- - roots a highly edible and pictorial -still-life. * “I'm thinking of entering one of mv chocolate ice boxes in the next 1 county fair. That's how bad I hate cooking!" Cherry nodded her sun-bright head and her topaz eyes gleamed ? with kicked glee. “Which, translated freely, means that you're going i to marry a poor but honest working man. “And here I've been building my hopes around being matron of honor at the 'beautiful, impressive wed- ■ ding of Miss Antoinette Naomi Tarver. lovely newcomer to Stanton so|ciety. and Mr Richard Warrington 1 Talbot, scion of one of the oldest and wealthiest families of the state* , . . Too bad of you, Tony, to dis-

someone told him about our honor system. * ‘He said he’d prefer a demonstrator. and a man went along with him. He didn't buy and I heard the salesman grousing about it. I only got a couple of casual looks ,a' him myself. That's why I didn't ! recognize him when I saw him here ' in New York " aart Ct ANT he be arrested? Mildred ■* a.sked breathlessly. "There isn't nay evidence against him. But we may get it, and when we do I'd like to be the one to go after him.” “If you weren’t too stubborn to ask your family to bail you out of j here you could do some detective j work yourself.'' Mildred said trickily. “No." Stephen was resoulte. “I'm j afraid my mother couldn't stand the j shook." Mildred sighed, and got up to go. | “I'm late.” she said, glancing anx- ! iously at her wrist watch. * Back at the office she -Showed a more cheerful countenance than they'd seen her wear for some time. But as the days passed and Stephen's lawyer made no progress in his effort to tie Huck up with the automobile thefts, her lowness of spirit returned. Stephen tried to pretend that there was yet a great deal of hope, but Mildred knew that he was discouraged. Nothing had been learned of Huck except that he had been a heavy spender. Huck never had mixed his lowbrow acquaintances with his high- j brow victims. And since his departure from the Judson hotel and was not possible for Stephen's lawyer to have him shadowed, nothing could be learned of his connection with Duke Broggan and Ras Poberlin. Finally, because she saw the hopelessness in Stephen's eyes deepen, Mildred decided to appeal to Pamela to help him. This time she did not risk a rebuff. She entered the hotel at noon and went up to Pamela’s rooms Without having herself announced. She rapped firmly on the sitting room door and set her foot in readiness to enter as soon as the door was opened. The maid who answered her summons was taken aback by her abrupt and almost forceful entry. “Is Miss Judson in her bedroom?” Mildred asked, and the maid nodded before she could collect her wits. Mildred stepped quickly . over to the bedroom door and thrust it wide open. As she had hoped. Pamela was not yet out of bed. She was having her breakfast as usual. She did not look up until Mildred appeared beside her. Then she set her coffee cup hastily back on the saucer and drew herself higher on her silken pillows with a gesture of anger. “Don’t bother to have tantrum,” Mildred said coolly. “I’ve come to talk to you about Stephen. ’’ "Your nerve is . . Pamela began. but Mildred stopped her. “Colossal,” she supuplled. “But you'd better listen to me. Pamela, unless you want to go on being responsible for an innocent man’s being in prison.” 808 PAMELA was too astonished to give the order to have Mildred ejected. Mildred had planned her attack with that object in view. She turned to the maid who had followed her to the connecting door then back to Pamela.

appoint me so, for. of course. I realize now that there’s no hope. “A Talbot bride would have about as much need for a cook book as I would for a permanent wave, and I’ve caught you in the act of copying down every recipe that Rhoda has used on us this week. “Well, my beloved sister-in-law has so much enjoyed showing oft" that we’ve fed remarkably well since you've been here. Tony. Come again soon! Now ’fess up. Who’s the poor but honest working man on whom you’re going to try out Rhoda’s prize recipes?” But Tony was not to be stamj peded into an announcement of her ! engagement to Dick Talbot, who, i by marrying her imder the condiJ tions she had imposed, would be poor enough to qualify for Cherry s j impudent description. “Let's say I've discovered my one talent—and leave it at that.” she suggested coolly. "Did I put too much nutmeg in this applesauce, Rhoda?” "No.” Cherry answered for her j sister-in-IaYV. “You seem to be an . expert at applesauce. Tony," and her impish grin made her double meaning unmistakable. iTo Be Continued.!

“Dismiss her.” she said curtly, “unless you want the whole place to know what I've got to say to you.” Pamela waved a hand to the maid and told her to close the door and wait in the next room. She was more than a little afraid of Mildred's determined manner. Do you know why Stephen is in ! iail?" Mildred began at once. Pamela shrugged. “Because he's j a thief. I presume,” she said sneeringiy. “You know he isn't.” Mildred charged. “He's there because Pluck Connor wanted him put out of the way.” “Really?” Pamela drawled, but her interest was now definitely aroused. ■f?o he'd have a clear field with you.” Mildred went on in a rush. “Your conclusions are interesting but insolent, Pamela remarked, and daintily picked up a bit of toast. ‘Oh. you fool!” Mildred cried in exasperation. “Did you honestly believe that you could play fast and loose with a man like Huck Connor?” “Now see here,” Pamela snapped, “you can cut the rough stuff or get out.” “If the truth hurts I can’t help it,” Mildred retorted, “but I didn’t come here to quarrel with you. I want you to help Stephen.” “Oh, you want me to help Stephen.” Pamela mocked. Because you’re the only one who ran.” Mildred broke in before she | could say anything more. “If you hadn't flirted with Huck Connor Stephen wouldn't, be in jad and I want to tell you that unless he gets out pretty soon you're going to find yourself in trouble.” B B B “ \RE you threatening me?” ■t Pamela asked incredulously. “No. Only warning you. Stephen knows that Huck is a thief and I'm sure that he hasn’t gone so far to stop now. He wants you, Pamela, and if I were you I'd want a man like Stephen around to protect me.” “Aren’t you clever?” Pamela laughed. Mildred bit her lip. She was reluctant to speak of Harold to Pamela. Still if she could not get to Mr. Judson . . .” “I’m not clever. Pamela,” she said quietly, “but I believe that Huck is a dangerous man. A man who would not hesitate to. do murder if it suited his purpose.” She was totally unprepared for the effect of her words upon Pamela. The girl’s face blanched instantly and Mildred could see the shiver that ran over her slim body. She saw, too, that Pamela’s eyes were rimmed with dark circles and that her lips looked pinched. She was staring in surprise when Pamela cried out suddenly: “Murder, oh, my God!” and buried her face in her hands. Mildred rushed to her side. “What it is?” she cried. “Oh, Pamela, do you know?” Pamela dropped her hands from her tear-filled eyes and nodded. “That’s what the police told dad,” she said sobbingly. “They say Harold didn't jump or fall from the window as we thought.” Mildred pressed her fingers tight against her own quivering lips. She had known it all the time, but to have others say it was true . . . she wanted to shriek, it had become so horrible. She dropped to her knees at Pamela's bedside and started to cry. Pamela struggled to overcome her own emotion. When she succeeded she wanted Mildred to talk. “How did you know?” she asked and Mildred began, brokenly, to tell her. T knew that Huck had some terrible hold on Harold,” she said, "and I tried to make Harold tell me what it was. Oh; Pamela, I wish I hadn't. I think they killed him so he wouldn't talk.” “■Why haven’t you told us?” “Your father wouldn't see me. I didn't know what to do. I’d no idea the police suspected it was . . . murder. I had no proof to take to them.” B B B “ i KD you think that Huck did 2\. it?" Pamela asked in horror. "I'm sure of it.” Mildred stated. “Poor Harold lived in terror of him. He told me Huck wanted to marry you. Pamela. I think he stood in the way. “And he knew that Huck meant to fix it so you wouldn't have anything 1 more to do with Stephen. HOw could i you have believed that Stephen would ste&l anything?” she added accusingly. “I don’t know. I must have been blind.” Pamela admitted. “Tell me.” she urged suddenly. “What does Stephen say about me?” Mildred drew back, aghast at Pamela's question. Pamela seemed to have heard enough about her brother. It struck Mildred as callous, but in the next moment she told herself that Pamela must love Stephen after all. ITo Be Continued I
