CHAPTER VII <Continued, i Before Morgan could answer. the “gentleman and the policeman” loomed behind the maid. “Sorry to interrupt a party. Mr. Morgan, but I have a warrant for the arrest of Herbert S. Crawford.” CHAPTER VIII A T 11 o'clock the next. day. Sat- "*■ *- urday. a very miserable private secretary awaited the arrival ol her employer at his law oflire. Nan Carroll had not, seen John Curtis Morgan since the night betore, when she had watched him leave his home in company with the men from police headquarters, and the accused man. Herbert S. Crawforo. She had lingered only a few minutes in the Morgan living room, offering brusque reassurance and sympathy to Iris Morgan, who had crumpled .into a chair like a broken stalk of the flower for which she was named. The morning papers had “broken’' the story on the front page with enormous headlines but very little j real information in the small type j below.

Crawford was president, warrants j for the arrest of both the president j and the treasurer had been sworn 1 out. The treasurer. Roy Bland, had not been found, and there were ru- j mors, according to the papers, that Bland had made good his getaway. According to Crane, secretary of the company, the chairman of the I board of directors had a letter of resignation from Bland, but had not j yet. met to act upon it when the j company's auditor had discovered j a shortage ol nearly a quarter of a million dollars in the corpora- j tion's bank accounts. The money had been accumulated during the last month in a sensa- j tional. whirlwind stock-selling cam- j paign. and w as to have been speedily used in building a huge packing j plant. It was the successful pro-; motion of this enterprise which! Crawford had been celebrating at j the home of Morgan the night be- j fore.

"You'll try to tear me out of his heart, out of all the lives he's lived before he met you. But you won't! I'm Sandy, and Sandy'a me! You couldn't tear Sandy Ross and Tony Tarver apart if you tried a thousand years, and cried a million years! “Sandy and I are knit together by so many memories and so many days together that all the Dick Talbots and all the Mary Burnses in the world couldn't separate us!" She was panting as she lay there on Sandy's bed. her eyes closed, her clenched fists beating upon her breast, in which her heart hurt with an intolerable pain. But Mary Burns was still there, as plainly to be seen by Tony's closed eyes as if she were actually in the room. “How did you get him to notice you. Mary Burns?" Tony cried despairingly in her heart. “He never gave any other girl but me a second 100k —and he didn't give that kind of a look even to me! You frolicked around him. life a kitten,didn't you? “You flirted with him, and made

MISS PAYNE.” one of the papers stated circumspectly "confesses that she was the fiancee of the accused treasurer, and stouth maintains that he is innocent of the charge of embezzlement, alleging that he was a dupe in the hands oi a cleverer man. She admits, however. that she had had no word from Bland since he left the city ten days ago. ostensibly on his wav to Chicago cn business for the firm. “It. was largely due to Bland's failure to communicate with the company since his departure for Chicago that Secretary Crane, who is also assistant general manager of the rompany, asked the auditor Friday to check the bank balance, and the big shortage was discovered. Craw ford was not taken into Crane’s confidence when his suspicions of the treasurer were aroused, and a few hours later both warrants were issued.”

“Well. I'm glad I won't, have to worry about it,” Nan reflected, as her fingers flew over the typewriter keys, answering letters which did not require Morgan's personal attention. "Here's my letter of resignation and I'm going to present it, too. I'll be glad to be out of the Crawford mess. I never did trust that man!” But her heart throbbed heavily with an emotion that was not gladness. In getting out. of the Crawford "mess” she was also getting out of everything else that had made life wonderful for three years. She was still too dazed with he shame and grief that had taken possession of her heart when she had discovered that she was in love with her employer to plan what she should do after her week's “notice” had been lived through somehow. "I'll leave town, of course-go to Chicago or New York. What does it. matter where I go, or what I do, when my heart will be here, with him —” was as near as she had come to a decision. Biff her letter of resignation, coldly final and formal. lay on her desk, waiting for Morgan. a it a nnHE door opened to admit the i man of whom she was always thinking, and the man about whom a whole outraged city was buzzing. “Good morning, Nan.” Morgan greeted soberly. “Hello. Nan.” Crawford sang out, only a little less blithe than usual. The two men passed on into Morgan's private office. After a few minutes the buzzer on Nan's desk sounded, and she answered it. notebook in hand.

“I’d like for j'ou to listen in on this from the first. Nan," Morgan told her. “I've grown to depend a lot on Nan's logic and that sixth sense which all women claim to have and which she actually possesses,' he explained to Crawford. “That’s not news to me,” Crawford beamed upon Nan. “Why, if you didn't have Nan. I’d insist on getting two or three other legal lights to help you. Not that we’re going to need a battery of talent,” he hastened to discount his words. “But a chap on whim fifty thousand bail has just been clapped feels like grabbing off all the help he can get.” a tt t> NAN pulled out a leaf of the desk and seated herself beside Mor-1 gan. poiisng her pencil above her i notebook. Her afee was impassive, j unsmiling. "Jack keeps saying. Now tell me everything you know about this business, Bert.' ” Crawford smiled at Nan. "And for the life of me. all I can answer is. ‘I don't know a damned thing!’ I was just as

He's falling in love with you and I'm going to marry Dick Talbot . . . . Oh. go away!” But before the phantom Mary Burns was banished, the bright little black eyes, with their curledback. jetty lashes, twinkled with triumphant laughter. “She's laughing at me. Sandy,” Tony's heart wailed. "She's laughing at how stupid I was, and at how clever she is. She just had to because I never let you think ‘Adorable Tony! Beautiful Tony! ! Girl Tony! All the silly boys and men I met thought that. It seemed glorious that there was one man who was my friend, my chum, who didn't want to kiss me “And all the time I loved you and didn't know Why didn't I know. Sandy: There never was anyone else who really counted beside you. at all. at all! And I didn't know. Everyone else knew, but me.” (To Be Continued)

much surprised as you two were when the cops busted up our party last night. I’ll leave it to you, Nan —my actions haven't been those 0 fa guilty man. have they? Would I have hung around town, waiting to be arrested? I didn't beat it. did I?—like Roy Bland! Honestly. Jack, I tsill can'e believe it of Roy! Nicest chap you ever know. Why, I've known him four or five years. First met him down in South America, where I was investigating some mines I was promoting—” "South America?” Morgan interrupted eagerly, and Nan made the first note on the case of the State vs. Herbert S. Crawford. “Sure —oSuth America!” Crawford repeated. “Didn’t I ever tell you about that silver mine deal down there? I met Roy Bland in—let's see, yes, it was in Rogota, capital of Colombia, you know. He'd bee in the mountains for months; looked like a tramp. Had lots everything he had in some fool scheme, and I staked him to a trip home.

“After we got back to the states I was able to put him next to a good thing every now an dthen, till he'd got quite prosperous again. When I got busy on this packing company merger. I naturally remembered him and sent for him to coqie on and get in on the ground floor. Good, dependable chap, always a little cracked n the subject of South America, but one of the best friends I ever had. I tell you, Jack, it knocks me cold to find out that Roy Bland double-crossed me and the people who trusted me to protect their interests.” “Probably,” Nan put in quietly, “your close association with Bland in the past is one big reason you’re suspected now of being his accomplice. “Good Lord!” Crawford ejaculated, outraged. “Just because a man is unfortunate enough to have a friend who turns crook —” “Keep your shirt on, Bert, Morgan admonished him quietly. “Nan's right. We've got to look at this thing from the district attorney’s standpoint, not yours. And yur friendship with Bland, your having brought him into the company, will certainly score against you. Now, Bert, who do you know about this Gladys Payne, Bland's secretary? She evidently has more up her sleeve than came out at the preliminary hearing this morning.” Crawford flushed, then laughed apologetically. “Well. I guess I used to jolly her along pretty freely, before she became engaged to Bland, if she was engaged to him—”

l** - ORGAN nodded thoughtfully. ITX “And when she couldn't land you she nursed a grudge against you. Right? ... I thought so. I've warned you to be careful, Bert, but you're a confirmed lady-killer. This is a little worse, though, than the breach-of-promise suit I was joking about last night.” And Morgan looked so worried that Nan : s heart ached for him. Crawford misinterpreted the look on his friend's face. He leaned far across the desk, to fix Morgan compellingly with his light blue eyes, j ‘Old man, before we go a step far- | ther. you believe in my innocence, j don't you?” Morgan stretched out his hand j to grasp the one Crawford was of-, sering dramatically. "I do believe: I you're innocent, Bert. I'm staking j my profesisonal honor on your in- | nocence. I’ve never, since I was admitted to the bar. defended an accused person of w hose innocence I was not fully convinced. If you should be proved guilty, beyond the shadow of a doubt, I can tell you right now. Bert, that you would do me more harm than you can well imagine. “Just play square with me. Bert. Tell me the whole truth, no matter how much it may go against the grain, or how damaging it may look, and I'll get you out of this mess if it’s humanly possible. No* that I think they have a case against you that will even result in an indictment." he added reassuringly, as Crawford's beanpng smile faded. “And you. Nan?” Crawford, blithe again, turned to the girl, whose castdown eyes were upon her notebook. The ringing of the telephone saved Nan from answering. She took the call at her own desk, then when she had replaced the receiver, she picked up the letter of resignation which she had sworn to herself to present to John Curtis Morgan that morning. Slowly she tore it to bits. (To Be Continued) LAMB HAS EXTRA LEGS Wisconsin Sheep Prances About on | Six Limbs. fiii I it Red Press | AURORA.
