NOW GO ON WITH THE STOItt CHAPTER XXXVI MILDRED looked expectantly at Mr. Judson as tie made his promise. He appoareri to be more agitated than at, any time since they’d left the hotel together. “What you have just said has convinced me that both Pamela and this young man Stephen will need immediate protection,” he told her. “I believe I’d better return to the hotel and see that she is safe.” “But what about Stephen?” Mildred asked. "Perhaps Pamela Is with him now.” “I don't, believe so.” Mr Judson returned. ”1 know :he planned a visit to the jeweler's this afternoon. i lace to cheer her up. She feels her brother's death deeply.” Mildred felt like saying she must indeed feel it. deeply if jewels could assuage her grief, but consideration for Mr. Judson held back the sarcasm. “But you won't leave Stephen in ' . “No, no. I shall send my attorney.” * <*c “Send a policeman with him, please. I'm afraid there will be trouble.” Mr. Judson appeared lo think over her suggestion. "Perhaps you're right,” he said. “It might be a good idea to have him come to the hotel, too. Then if Connor makes a move " “You mean you will use him as a decoy?” Mildred broke in nervously. “He’ll be well guarded," Mr. Judson assured her. “But you'll tell him why you want him at the hotel? You won't let him run any risks?” “Naturally, my dear. Now don’t you worry. And if your employer complains of your being away from the office this afternoon refer him to me for an explanation. I’ll tell him how much obliged I'll be to him If he'll fire you.” a a a MILDRED smiled wanly. She knew that Mr. Judson was not joking, but the position that had meant so much to her before would mean only heartaches now. “Goodby,” she said and shook hands with him. He watcher her go. hurrying toward the nearest subway entrance, and there was something about the set of her young shoulders that tugged at his heart. While Mildred hurried back to her office Pamela, was on her way to the jeweler's. She was in high spirits, except when the memory of her recent bereavement intruded itself upon her pleasant reflections of her visit with Stephen. She had burst in upon him without warning. In the rather dim light of his cell she could not see the quick ebbing of his color. With a bound she was in his

Harry Blaine's call came some after 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, and it was Crystal herself who answered the phone. There was something so different about his voice—a business-like crispness—that she felt almost timidly glad he had not been kept waiting till she could be summoned. “Hello, Crystal. Harry Blaine speaking. Calling about the job. you know," he informed her without preliminary. “It's O. K. You're to start Monday. Twenty-five bucks a week. Lousy salar\, less than a bum stenographer car pull down. Want it?" Panic stirred in Crystal's heart. Not at the prospect of a ridiculously low salary. That didn't matter, for a while at least, weighed against the delight of actually being a paid writer on a newspaper. But it did matter terribly, somehow, if he didn't really want her to take the job. “Os course I want it. Harry." she protested. "The salary doesn't matter—” “The heck it doesn't!” the young man on the other end of the wire gibed, then he added, almost curtly: “Good girl! See you Monday then at 8 o'clock. Did I hear you gasp? This is an afternoon paper, you know, not a weekly. “Most of us slaves hit. the bail at 7:30. By the way,’ - he went on, without giving her a chance to reply, “you're to work in co-operation with the secretary of the United Charities on this ‘Merry-Christmas-for-the-poor' stunt. He 11 give you the names of sour sob-story prospects, but your copy will be handled by the city desk like any other local features." “The city desk?" Crystal echoed stupidly. '“You mean the city editor? Is the city editor of The Press frightfully hard-boiled?" “You ought to know. Crvs, or maybe you couldn't since you haven't met him in that guise." the young man chuckled. “You're talking to your city editor now . young woman. “Oh!" Her exclamation was flat and blank with surprise “That's a promotion, isn't it. Harry?—or should I say Mr. Blaine?' Congratulations—chief!" “Aw, be yourself!" he retorted, and site could picture his good-look-ing young face flushing "with em-

arms, pulling his head down, showering kisses upon him. crying out how -he'd abused her poor dear "Stevo.” To Stephen she was like the sun bursting out from heavy cloud* No wonder. She had spent the best part of two hours after Mildred had left her in her rooms at the hotel in making herself beautiful with the avowed intention of overwhelming him. Her maid was at the moment haviterii M e ervants’ quart; . while a dozen costumes, brought o jt and ri; carried, still lay scattered abou* Pamela's dressing-room. Stephen's arms tightened about iter while his hunger for her satished itself with iter nearness. He wa emotionally crazed. The power ot self-hypnotism he had induced by endless hours- of longing for her swayed him uncontrolled. She was here! She was his! She had come to him! These were all his thoughts. There was no place in his mind then for the memory of his true valuation of her character. tt tt tt IT hurt my pride so to think of anyone I loved being in jail,” sht told him. "I didn't see how selfish it was of me. Stephen darling, but I couldn't come to you. “I couldn't stand this horrible place: I knew I couldn’t. But today I realized in a flash that I couldn't live any longer without you—and here I am. Oh. we won't ever part again, will we? “My father is going to get you out of here. Then we ll be married quietly and go away for a long while. Perhaps to Africa. I think it would be lovely to fly across the veldts. Don’t you? “I mean the high veldts with nothing but the blue sky over our heads. And if there should be a lion when we come down you won't let it eat, me will you?” She was clinging to him. laughing and sobbing. Stephen’s head was in a whirl. “Oh Pam, Pam.” was all he could say in a dazed, helpless sort of way “Honey bov,” she cooed. “Honey boy. I wish I could stay here with you until dad comes, but I can’t. I've got to go. I've had the toothache for days, but I was too low- to care and if I don't go to the dentist now I’ll have to give up the time tomorrow and I want to be with you every minute.” Stephen held her tight. “I’ll do some shopping too.” she said happily. "I'll get some khaki things, though I think they're awfully ugly, don't you? But one can't wear anything else in Africa it wouldn't be safe with those Kaffirs or whatever they're called, would it?” "Kaffirs.” Stephen mumbled, scarce knowing what he said. “Now let me go,” Pamela begged. "Oh. I hate to go, Stevo. I hate to leave you in this horrible place, but it will be just a little minute longer. I'll try to be back at the hotel when you get there.” It did not occur to Stephen to wonder how she could visit her dentist, and shop all in “just a little minute.” Her descent upon him had been too sudden and overwhelming to allow him to reason. Tt was not until several minutes after she had left him that he realized he was experiencing an unexpected reaction. He wished he had asked her something about her remark that her father was going to get him out of jail. He felt completely in the dark, trying to make sense of Pamela’s running talk. Freedom! Marriage! Africa! "Good Lord!”

barrassment at having been caught in the act. of swaggering. "See you Monday. Gotta make up the noon edition now. So long!" She told herself as she left the telephone that it was a piece of astonishing good luck that Harry Blaine, instead of some hard-bitten, girl-reporter-hating stranger, was to be her “boss.” But—was it? Hadn't the very tone of liis voice and the curt briefness of his remarks warned her that she would have to work harder for him than for a stranger, to overcome the handicap of “pull?” Probably he didn't really want her on the paper, now that he was to be its city editor and not just a feature reporter. Was that why he hadn't phoned her the day before? Would he have reneged on his offer to get her the job if he could have done so without hurting her feelings too cruelly? Well, she'd show him that he needn't have worried a minute about her taking advantage of their friendship to loaf on the job. And he ought to know her better than to think she'd embarrass him by a foolish display of intimacy. iTo Be Continued)

PAMELA was troubled with none of the doubts that assailed Stephen. Her imaginary toothache was not even so much aa an imaginary one as she made her way to the manager's private office in the jewelry shop where she was accustomed to look over the best of the stock about once a month. “Good afternoon, Mr. Blaine,” she greeted the manager brightly, and then remembered to be more sedate. The truth was Pamela had felt the ! shock of Harold's death tremendously. but her mercurial nature would not permit her long to remain plunged in either grief or i joy. With the eradication of the signs ! of her grief had come absorbing in11crest in the prospect of being Stephen's sweetheart again. And i now. with an early wedding ahead | of her. the prospect was even more ! alluring. Her father had promised to take her on a trip abroad soon, but she didn't care for the new; Mrs. Judson. ! They hadn't been friends before 1 the marriage—they were rather less now. A journey in her stepmother’s company had not appealed greatly to Pamela. “May I offer you my heartfelt | sympathy, Miss Judson?” Mr. Blaine was saying to her. “Oh,” Pamela said, and reached ! for her handkerchief with which j she dabbed carefully but prettily at i her eyes. Mr. Blaine held a chair for her. "I hate to come here at this time, Mr. Blaine,” she said softly arid wistfully, “but I expect to sail shortly for Africa and father wants me to select my wedding present ; now.” Mr. Blaine offered his congratu--1 lations as readily as he had his ! condolences. "It's to be a quiet wedding,” Pamela explained when he asked i her about the things she wished to : see. “No attendants, of course; so I shan’t have to buy any gifts. But you might just bring out the brace- , let to match that necklace you were I showing me last month. That lovely one with the big sapphire and I the baguette diamonds.” “Ah. yes indeed, yes indeed,” Mr. Blaine said hastily. “I am glad ! that you arc to have it. Miss Judj son. I know that our designer had ' you in mind when he sketched the setting. But, of course, we can make some slight changes in it if you like.” "No. I think it's beautiful as it is, and there won't be time to make any changes on it. Now let me see, I think I’l have an all-round diamond wedding ring. You may show me some. "You see. may fiance is too busy to select it for me. It’s so very hectic you know, sailing for Africa on practically a moment's notice.” MIGHT I ask if I know the young man?” Mr. Blaine inquired upon the strength of his long business acquaintance with the Judson family. I ‘ He's a young man from the west,” Pamela answered. No one you know, I’m sure. But he's most cefimtely placed.” Just what she meant by definitely placed," Mr. Blaine was allowed to figure out for himself. He took it to mean that the young man was well established in the social world. Pamela rose after choosing her ring and Mr. Blaine accompanied iicr to the street door and wished her happiness on her new venture. She was in her car and headed for the hotel before she remembered that she had intended buying a ! present for Mildred. She was so happy she wanted to make up for ' having caused Mildred to lose her ! position. "Oh. well, bother. I'll send her a row of those cute little ivory elephants from Africa.” Mildred, at that moment, was in | little need of ivory elephants or anything else from Pamela. When she left Mr. Judson and j hurried to take a subway train to i her work she was followed by one I of Huck's men. who had specific orders in regard to her. As she reached the head of the | subway stairs and paused to get a j nickel out of her bag for car fare, I the man stepped over into the angle formed by a pile of dry goods boxes against a building, where he would run small chance of being observed, released a cord that allowed a gun | to slip down into his right hand, j curled his finger around the trigger j and fired.
