Huck Connor wouldn't come here." "No, I don't believe he would enter the hotel. But he may try to get to Armitage outside and we'll have a better chance of apprehending him or someone who knows where he is hiding if we kept a strict watch on Armitage, we believe.” “I don’t see what Huck would want to do to him now.” "We think he doesn’t want him to marry you. Pam, and that he will go to any length to prevent it. You’ve got to be. very careful.’’ Pamela was frightened. "Please cal! up Etephen,” she said nervously. Her father stepped to the telephone and asked for Stephen’s room. CHAPTER XLIII STEPHEN was not in his room. Mr. Judson immediately called the office and asked to have one of Markeson's men sent up Together they went, to Stephen's door. Pamela was forbidden to follow but she disobeyed instructions a few minutes later and proceeded toward the room. A pass key admitted Mr. Judson and the detective and they saw that Stephen had stopped in the midst of unpacking his belongings when he left the room. A thorough search of the hotel was instigated but Stephen was not located. The inquiry at the switchboard revealed that he had made one outside call on the telephone. Mr. Judson’s face grew thunderous when the operator told him the number Stephen called was Mildred’s. Had she listened to the conversation? - Certainly not Mr. Judson was unconvinced. The operator and Mildred probably were friends, he reasoned. "Call the number," he, directed, "and say Mr. Judson wishes to speak to Mrs. Lawrence.” It was Connie who answered the call. “Can’t I talk to Mr. Judson?” she asked. "Mother is with Mildred. I don't like to disturb her.” The operator repeated her words to Mr. Judson. "Very well,” he said impatiently and stepped into a booth. Connie thought him unnecessarily sharp when he asked if Stephen Armitage was there. "No, he isn’t,” she said, and was perverse enough to withhold the information that he had been there.

THE NEW Sainttfiimcr ByJlrmeJlustin C Kas ii' MA SUKICLIWL

Ever since the day Tony Tarver had first, driven up to the shabby little Ross house in Myrtle street in her own car, one of the first outward and visible signs of Pat Tarver's sudden prosperity, the honking of her horn had been the recognized manner of her greeting. Two long squawks, three short ones, meaning as Pop Ross said: “Hi. there! Here's Tony Tarver!", And never once in those three years had it failed to bring Pop and Mom Ross or Sandy—all three of them, if they happened to be home. Until now . . . Peeling a little dashed and slight-ly-apprehensive. Tony scrambled out of her roadster and ran up the old. uneven brick path to the front porch. “Where are you. Mom?” she shouted gaily, as she pushed into the warm, familiar hall. No reply. “Funny!" Tony puzzled. “But maybe she's run next door to borrow some sage for the dressing, or something like that. Os course nothing's happened—unless —unless they got a telegrom about Sandy, saying he was—hurt— The thought was so unnerving that Tony sank down upon the narrow, hard seat of the old-fash-ioned hatrack. Underneath the lid of that seat, mixed up with old sneakers and a catcher's mitt and pop's and mom's "artics," was a pair of her own rubbers—too small now. since they had been there since she was io years old. Mom Ross would as soon have thrown away Sandy's baby shoes, stiffened with bronze paint and occupying the place of honor on the “settin’ room" mantelpiece. As she leaned back against the cracked old mirror of the hall rack—she had broken it burling a baseball at 12-year-old Sandy—Tony's dizzy head rested against a stained limp garment, the disreputable old coat in which Sandy had made nearly all ms flights. Had he bought anew one for this flight to New York, where he was to take pan in a tremendously important conference about the proposed air mail route? Was he—was he dead in it now on some faraway field? It was no conscious act on Tony's part—that sudden pressing of the oily old coat against her cheek, her lips. But as if it were attar of roses she drank in the smell of it, the mixed odors of earth and oil and high adventure and Sandy Ross.

She thought Mr. Judson would ask, but he said, Thank you,” quickly and hung up. a a e "TryELL, if you hadn't been so W short I'd have told you,” Connie said to herself, trying to placate a troubled conscience. She was remembering the things Mildred had said about Mr. Judson’s | kindness to her after her "acci- ! dent” in the subway. Mildred hadn’t explained just how he came to be so interested in her and Connie was eaten up with curiosity. But Mildred told them Stephen was out on bail so they weren't surprised when he telephoned. He was told Mildred was sleeping but he went up anyway, thinking she might awaken before he got there. Connie had greeted him coldly, but her heart softened when she saw how? much he was disappointed because he couldn't see Mildred who was still sleeping. "I’ll drop in tomorrow,” he said when Connie was speeding him at the door. ‘ Do,” she drawled, "but don’t happen along when Mildred’s regu1. r is here. He’s frightfully jealous.” Little loyal trouble maker. She just wanted to give Stephen something to think about. She did. "I don’t suppose she wants me hanging around,” he concluded with a "lost” feeling that he did not understand and but for Pamela he might not have gone back. Mr. Judson met him in the lobby of the hotel when he returned and took him to task at once for his recklessness. “Connor isn’t a master mind,” Stephen returned unemotionally. But I went out a back door.” "I suppose you mean he couldn't guess that you would leave Pamela this evening?” Mr. Judson retorted. After all, Armitage, you're engaged to her.” “I didn’t consider what Connor would think,” Stephen declared; but now that you speak of it I guess that’s how it worked.” You weren’t considering the fact that he knows my daughter isn’t going out, socially?” Stephen looked straight at him. “I'm not scared to death of Connor,” he said. "And I wanted to see for myself that the man you’ve hired to guard Miss Lawrence is on the job.” "Oh, so you went to see Miss Lawrence? Was my man there?” "Right outside in the hall. I’ve an idea Miss Lawrence hasn’t told her mother and sister what happened. The girl spoke of it as an accident.” “Yes, Miss Lawrence wanted to keep it from them,” Mr. Judson said. "I instructed my driver and the plainclothes man not to reveal anything to the family. How is Miss Lawrence?” a a jet HE looked at Stephen closely as he asked the question, his doubts of Stephen’s love for Pamela again made active by Stephen's conduct. “I didn’t see her,” Stephen explained. “She was sleeping.” "She’s an exceptionally fine girl,” Mr. Judson remarked. "She will make some lucky man a splendid wife.” Stephen nodded. "I understand she’s engaged,” he said, thinking of what Connie had said to him. A "regular” with Mildred was the same, to Stephen, as a fiance. Mr.' Judson was taken completely

Perhaps if another odor had not obtruded itself Tony might have learned something then of what she really felt for Sandy Ross. But there it was—the unmistakable, nos-tril-flaring odor of burning fruit and sugar. Mom Ross's Thanksgiving dinner cranberries were burning? More familiar with the old house than with her own home on Serenity boulevard, Tony sped down the hall, into the dining room, wove a tortuous course through its tenpiece golden oak set—Mom Ross’s pride and joy, since Pop had given it to her on their first wedding anniversary—and banged through the swinging door into the kitchen, beginning to fill now with black smoke from the burning cranberries. But before she could reach the gas stove to turn off the flame Tony forgot all about the cranberries. For lying between the stove and the kitchen table was Mom Ross. Tony flung herself upon her knees,, lifted the grizzled head, with its pallid face and closed eyes, and hugged it to her breast in a frenzy' of love and fear. (To Be Continued.)

! unawares. He said nothing and Stephen started to walk away. "Pamela is waiting for you upstairs.” Mr. Judson found voice to say before he got out of hearing. Stephen paused. "Please make my excuses to her.” he said. "I’m all in.” Mr. Judson nodded. "Good night,” Stephen said and went on. Mr. Judson looked after him. “I don’t believe he’s ever been in love with either one of them,” he told himself suddenly. "Pamela’s hooked him and he’ll stick because he's the sort to tilt at windmills.” "Your man’ has gone to bed,” he said to Pamela when he joined her in his suite. "And I can’t say that I blame him.” "Where in the world has he been?” "Calling on Miss Lawrence.” Pamela got up quickly. She didn’t want to discus what she’d just heard until she’d talked with Stephen about it. "Why, of course,” she said. Wasn't that thoughtful of him?” But her father knew, when she left the room, that she wasn’t so calm about Stephen's call as she appeared to be. a a •T''HE next day she arose early and JL breakfasted downstairs at an inconspicuous table, hoping to see Stephen, but he was not about. Later she telephoned his room and he told her he was unpacking. "Bother,” she exclaimed; "I’ll send up a valet. Have you had breakfast?” Stephen said yes. "Then get ready and come down ! to the mezzanine in fifteen minutes. We’re going for a drive.” Stephen assented and Pamela | rushed upstairs to get her hat and a light wrap. "Tell the operator to have my car : sent around right away,” she orI dered the maid. | When .e met Stephen on the ! mezzanine he was of a different mind about going out with her. "I don’t think your father would j like it,” he said. I Pamela argued. Stephen didn't want to tell her that he thought it was unsafe for | her to leave the hotel in his comI pany, so he simply refused to go. "If you hadn’t gone out last night j I might think you were afraid,” she [ said crossly. "Perhaps I am,” Stephen replied, j "You’re not; you're just stubborn,” | Pamela retorted. “Well, I’ll ask dad. ; If he doesn't object you’ll go, won’t j you?” Stephen did not expect her father to consent when he said yes. But ; Pamela returned after leaving him i for a few' minutes and told him her father said it was all right if they would be careful. Stephen had no idea that she lied. | There was a plan in her head and | she did not mean to let parental ! dictates stand in the way of carryI ing it out. ft tt a STEPHEN saw no glory in the beautiful day. He ought to have been feeling exuberantly happy, I tingling with the joy of his freedom: instead he was conscious of a dull depression lying heavily upon i him. Pamela’s radiant spirits did not endure in his blue company. She fell into a gloomy silence before they had gone ten blocks. Time and again she started to say something and checked herself before the first word was out. Stephen was pleased not to talk. That made it easier for Pamela to hold her silence. Inwardly she was fuming, but she didn’t want to spoil what she was going to do by prematurely quarreling with Stephen over his visit to Mildred. . Stephen wondered, as they drove along, if her father had told her about Huck’s attempt to have him shot. If so she was either very brave or very reckless, he thought. "You’re not going to the club, are you?” he asked with a touch of misgiving as Pamela took the route they had followed so many times 1 up to Westchester. "Oh, no,” she said. “I’m going to pay a call.” The idea did not appeal to Stephen. He saw himself being set on by Pamela's friends to tell them what it \Vas like in jail. Even Pamela's recent bereavement would not deter them from being : fresh. Stephen knew. He dared a suggestion that they go on and enjoy a drive in the I country. "We won't be long,” Pamela replied. , A few minutes later she turned off in the direction of Mildred's home. "Where are you going?” Stephen inquired, vaguely distrustful. "To see Mildred Lawrence,” Pamela told him. Stephen said nothing more until | they came to a stop before the shabby building, faced with clinging fire escapes, where the Lawrences lived.
