John Curtis Morgan entered his office with a gleam of triumph in his despair-hunted black eyes. ■‘Well the defense rests. Nan." the lawyer announced to his secretary. • Want to hear all about it. or have yen been reading the extras?" "Why buy extras when my boss is the manager of the show and tan tell me all about it. himself?" Nan retorted as she followed him into Ins private office. ■■Braincrd knew he was licked long before adjournment today, but he stubbornly refused to admit it," Morgan began eagerly, and the girl, whose big brown eyes searched his beloved face intently, knew that, he was grateful for the chance to talk, that he dreaded to be alone, "He tore into our fingerprint expert savagely on cross-examination, but he couldn’t budge Cornwall a hair’s breath. Cornwall made it plain enough for an imbecile to see that the fingerprints found on the bathroom cabinet and on the poison bottles had been made by Mrs. Ward and that at least two of these prints had been superimposed upon prints made by the nurse’s fingers indicating that Mrs. Ward had handled them last." “Good poiyt," Nan nodded, her leer glowing with interest. The man opposite her could not know that she was visualizing that day’s dramatic scenes in the courtroom. where again the man she loved had played the hero’s role, even though the heart in his breast was heavy with humiliation and despair. A man to be worshipfully proud of—this man she loved! “I didn't rail Dr. Holtzmann until after my fingerprint expert had testified, but I let him hear Cornwall's evidence. Fortunately, the doctor is a brilliant, fair-minded man. When I asked him if it would have been physically possible for Mrs. Ward to walk, lie said, that it would have been, if her desire had been keen enough. Her paralysis was due to a psychosis, or. possibly, was shammed, he admitted, while Braincrd positively clawed the air.”

Conscious that she looked very small, very young and very pretty in the little brown-and-orange costume which Faith had bought for her mounted the narrow, dirty stairs that led to the editorial department of the Press It was ten minutes to eight. Harry ‘Blaine, now city editor of the paper. had warned her to report not later than 8 o'clock. Her career as a writer was about to begin, she told herself, as she climbed the stairs, but with every step her confidence diminished Beyond that door, with its' rusty knob, its soiled grey paint and its facing sign, lay a fearful and wonderful world, inhabited by strange creatures gigantic with the power of the pres As she hesitated, quaking, a man came charging up the stairs two steps at a time. “Looking for someone?" he asked brusquely, as he laid an impatient hand upon the door which had seemed like a terrifying and magic

portal to her. “For—for the city editor. I'm —to work on the paper." she stammered. "Blaine? I'll tow you. Come along. Hope you'll like it here. Dog's life. . . . First newspaper job? Bet you edited your college paper, didn't you? My name's Harned. There's Blaine. Fraid you'll have to wait a bit. He's giving out assignments." •Thank you." Crystal gasped. •My name is Crystal Hathaway. Don't mind me. please. Mr. Harned. I'll wait here till Ha—Mr. Blaine h> reaov for me." It was obvious that Harned was late and feeling rather guilty about it. for he excused himself with a muttered word and plunged across the room to where Harry Blaine, in shirt sleeves and wearing a green eyeshade, was apportioning the morning's work to a circle of men about his desk. Crystal crept closer, fascinated, but careful not to get m range o, the busy city editor's narrowed. impatient eyes. •■—And take Pringle along to get a picture of the Kid. We can stand a column if the mother'll talk. . . . Barney, duck into that city fathers’ powwow at 11 and ask the mayor what the hell he's going to do about that sewer graft. Don't let him stall you.

“I wish I'd seen him," Nan chuckled. "Did you call Lois Downs' young man. Chester Parks?” ‘‘Yes. Parks testified that he and Lot: were engaged to be married; that she had complained to him of Andrew Ward’s unwelcome attentions. His testimony will go far toward destroying the motive which Braincrd has tried to pin on the girl especially as Ward himself has admitted that Lois did not return his love. ’ Brainerd rested without calling any witnesses in rebuttal, but he'll make a stab at saving his face before the jury tomorrow in his summation. Naturally he’ll contend • that the old lady's fingerprints in the bathroom don’t necessarily mean that she killed herself, even if she did toy with poison bottles, but the jury will be glad enough to believe tha' the unpleasant old lady committed . uieide, rather than that a pretty young think like Lois Downs c mmiticd murder. And so—that’s that!" a a a r T I HE moment which Nan had -I been dreading and pushing away since Friday night had come at. last. His only big case on the court calendar at present w'as won. or practically so. There was nothing to keep him from sinking into the slough of despond. The telephone rang with that peculiar long-drawn-out insistence 1 which heralds a long distance call. "Maybe,” Nan thought gloatingly, as she swooped for the instrument before Morgan could reach it, “there is a nice, juicy murder, just dripping with mystery which will keep him o darned busy Then, aloud, “Hello! Ye . John Curtis Morgan’s offices. Oh' Yes, he's right here!" She cupped her hand over the receiver and whispered excitedly to Morgan: "It's the Governor’s secretary. Says the Governor wants to talk to you.” "Governor Hogarth?” Morgan was eager again. “About that Brownlee case, I hope .... Hello, hello! Morgan speaking. Yes . . . Oh, hello. Governor! Yes, still trying to keep 'em out of jail. . . Not so’s you'd notice it! But I’d like to flirt with the trout, with you this summer, if you can get away. . . . Yes, I suppose so. Presidential year is a godsend to the long-suffering trout, at any rate. . . . Yes, Governor! ... Os course I’m mighty anxious to see Brownlee get a commutation of sentence to life imprisonment. . . . That’s mighty decent of you. Ben, but I don't see how I could get away just now . ...” Nan laid an eager hand on his shoulder, shook him slightly. "Os course you can go—tomorrow night. I'll look after everything.” Morgan shook his head at her and frowned, then grinned with wry humor. as he turned back to the telephone. "All right, Ben, I'll arrive at the capital tomorrow evening. . . . Oh. 0011't bother Evelyn. A hotel will be all right for me. . . . Oh, all right, and thanks. Ben. My best regards to Evelyn and the future President of the United States.” tt a u ■firHEN he hung up the receiver W he turned to Nan ruefully. "The governor insists on my staying at the executive mansion. Ben and Evelyn Hogarth are both good scouts, and usualy I’d enjoy a visit

, devil is Grant? GRANT... Anybody j seen Colin Grant this morning?” Could that be nice, easy-going Harry Blaine, who was shouting in that loud, furious voice? Crystal trembled, shrank against a table piled high with newspapers of ! every size and bulk, most of them j still in their address wrappers. She felt as guilty and apologetic 1 for the nonappearance of the reporter as if she were responsible. “Guess he’s blown, Harry. ’Bout time." one of the reporters chuckled. Before she was ready to face this stranger who had been her friend the circle had broken, melted. Only Harned lingered a minute. “Lady waiting to see you. chief. This is Mr. Blaine. Miss Hathaway.” j She was actually being introduced to Harry Blaine! But perhaps it was just as well. She felt she had never met this man before. ITO Be Continued)

with them, but right now—” He ' paused, passed a hand wearily across his eyes, and Nan knew that his unfinished thought was that it would be almost unbearable for him, a man whose wife had left him because she did not love him, to go j into a home that tvas nationally famous for its domestic felicity. But it is awfully decent of them, and you’ll enjoy it more than you think." Nan insisted with forced casualness. “Isn’t it splendid that ! the governor’s got around to the Brownlee case so soon? I'm sure you can make him see that this is one case w’here the granting of executive clemency is a high privilege, not merely an act of mercy.” Morgan's mouth twisted in the wry, humorous smile that she loved to call forth. "I think I’d better ; send you to the capital in my place. Poor Brownlee has always been your special pet. anyway.’ “Thanks awfully,” Nan grinned, "but it would be very inconvenient for me to get aw'ay right now\" "And so it is for me." Morgan re membered gloomily. “Iliad intended to spend most of this week, after the Downs case goes to the jury, in hunting for a—boarding school for Curtis.” “Oh, Mr. Morgan, you ca t mean to shut him away in a boarding school! He's so little, so "oung! Why. lie’s just a baby —6 years old! Do you think it's fair to—" “Whoa. Nan!" Morgan interrupted. "I admit it’s not fair to the boy, but I've been watching him rather more observingly than usual since—since Friday.” He still could not bring himself to utter Iris’s name. "He’s a spoiled little devil. No nurse will stay more than a couple of weeks. Yesterday when I got home I found Clara, the nurse that Ir—that w’e hired only ten days ago., just waiting to get her money and walk out on the job, and I couldn't blame her. Curtis had flung a fork at her head and cut her pretty badly ”

“Why?” Nan demanded. “I suppose you cross-examined her and put the defendant on the stand?” U tt B MORGAN smiled at her vehemence, but she saw that he was grateful for her implied championship of the child. “It seems that he insisted on having his dinner with his father, rather than in the nursery with his nurse.” “You see!” Nan triumphed, rather obscurely. "He should have dinner with his father. Id fling forks, too! And he shouldn't have a nurse—a great big boy of 6—” “You were just saying that he's a baby,” Morgan reminded her, smiling. “Well, a baby as far as being sent away to school is concerned, and a big boy as far as having a nurse goes,” Nan explained impatiently. “He belongs in public school, along with other 6-year-old boys. Put him with a bunch of other young hoodlums and they'll knock selfishness out of him too quick to talk about.” “The primary grades only have half-day sessions,” Morgan reminded her. “someone would have to be responsible for him until I got home. Besides,” and he sighed heavily, “there's the nuisance of keeping up a big house, just for a man and a child—” “I think,” Nan broke the silence hesitatingly, laying the words down gently so as not to anger him, “that Curtis has a right to a real home to grow' up in. And since he’s been —left—to you alone, it will have to be your job to make that home for him somehow. It won't be easy. But seeing him grow up, your companion and friend as well as your son, will pay you, I believe— Oh, can't you see the other side of the picture?—a- poor, lonely little misfit, shuttling from boarding school to summer camp and back to school again, homeless, parentless, except for a father whom he sees two or three times a year and who is worse than a stranger, because he takes liberties and scolds?” Morgan groaned. “Lay off, Nan! I'm not like Brainerd. I know when I'm licked. Will you help me a bit —dig up a good housekeeper that will taake an intelligent interest in the boy? God knows I want to do the right thing by him.” Nan considered a moment, her capable, slim fingers twisting a lock of her short brown hair. “You’ll be at the state capital several days, I imagine. Would you think it awfully cheeky of me if I suggested going out to your house and staying nights with Curtis while you're gone? I could get things in shape with the cook and the maid. I could also get Curtis started in school and have time to look about for a housekeeper—” (To Be Continued.)
