He is Presently after the melon bad been serred and the mints and i fingerbowls bad come and disap-1 peared Ibey arose and left the place. Larry was looking tall and handsome. Ellen was so near to ' him that the mingled sweetness of 'her youth and freshness and the Indefinite perfume she wore merged delightfully with ' the j sharp, spicy smell of the big flower at her shoulder. THEY were to stop at his studio to see an apartment next door which Larry thought might "do" for them. Ellen was deliciously thrilled at such concrete evidence that soon they were to be married and have a home of their own. She was thrilled at Larry's desire for her advice though she knew anything he liked she, too, would like. The superintendent was not to be found when they reached the building. After a- consultation they decided to wait In the studio. Larry drew the vivid curtains In the cheerful, slip-covered room, lighted candles and knelt to lay a fire. As she leaned back against the deep-cushioned divan, so far back that the tips of her shoes did not touch the floor, and watched Larry lay the fire, Ellen felt an almost blinding happiness. She thought of Larry In days to come at work In this room, of herself helping him. Sb thought of sitting sit-ting at breakfast with him discussing dis-cussing his plans and her plans for the day, of sharing his problems, prob-lems, his thoughts, his dreams. She knew suddenly and quite building would have to be built on a foundation et truth, of absolute abso-lute truth. Why. she must tell Larry everything. There was ! nothing else to do. There would ! be no doubts now. no hesitations, i no evasions. "Larry!" she called. "Larry!" "Just a minute, darling." A small pile of mall lay on the long oak table by the fire. He had paused there and was ruffling through the envelopes. He frowned at a cheap, greasy-look-u.g une with bis name and address ad-dress printed in queer, crude letters, let-ters, hesitated and then withdrew that envelope from the others. Ellen, looking up. surprised an odd expression on his face and was diverted from her own problem. prob-lem. "Do you mind If I open this?" he asked, still frowning faintly. "Certainly not." Puzzled, a little apprehensive, she watched as be tore open the envelope. Larry read the message, mes-sage, tore the cheap printed paper pa-per once across and glanced around for a wastebasket. "What Is it. Larry?" "It's nothing." With a sudden, secondary Impulse Im-pulse he fitted the torn page together to-gether and smoothed it out on the table. "Well, darling." he said doubtfully hesitantly, "since r - TRICkS DID WZ SHOW OH, HOVJ TO JUMP OVER' A st:ck SHAK wamds ...SPEAK- ROUU OVER.-DEAD DO3.S'.T UP... Ahr-. OH, us BUDDIES POMT OiSX .

" Yfy'ONDEHING. she Joined him ' and glanced down at the paper pa-per fragments pieced together on the table. "This Is the second warning." read , the crude lettering. "There will be no more. If you don't send $1000 to p. o. box S3. City Hall Station, in the next three days I II go tojtiiejjewspapers and 1 don't mean maybeT-1 know one would be glad enough to print the facts." "What does It mean. Larry?" sho inquired, raising frightened eyes. Ellen knew what It meant. She prayed desperately that his answer an-swer would prove her wrong. "Blackmail," he replied briefly. "It's Uncle Steven. Something this this person claims to know about his death. "The worst of It Is." Larry sighed, "that I'm not sure it's not true. Ordinarily I'd tear up an anonymous letter without a i thought. 1 did tear up the first and hoped it would be the end. As you'see It wasn't. "It's 6tmply this." Larry went on tn a troubled way. "The first letter said flatly that Uncle Steven didn't die at St. Agatha's from an ordinary heart attack as I as we all thought. It said be died at his Long Island place as the result of a night of wild carousal. He was moved to the hospital afterwards, so the letter said. According Ac-cording to 'he writer his feminine companion there was one of course was there at the time of his death and did not leave until early morning. No use going on with the details though " Kllen was conscious of the terrific ter-rific pounding of her heart: conscious con-scious that her face, her voice must reveal nothing. Above all else she felt a cold, frantic despair. des-pair. If the opening of that letter let-ter could have been delayed a little lit-tle while! Five minutes. 10 minutes min-utes how much easier everything would have been. It was too late now ! pRESENTL they were sitting on the divan, discussing the matter. Ellen was pale and heartsick. Larry too troubled for the moment to notice her preoccupation. pre-occupation. "You see my position." he said. "A scandal like this would simply kill mother. On the other hand." he added ruefully. "I don't like the idea of parting with $1000 with no guarantee at all that that will be the end of it particularly now when I need every cent I can lay my hands on. I'm not a rich man. f "Did you think I was rich, ,honey2',' ha asked aftec a moneat "I don't know what I thought." Ellen answered thickly.

"It won't be so bad as that," he replied with a smile at her vehemence. vehe-mence. "1 guess I'll be able to take care of my wife all right. He brushed her hair with his lips and showed a disposition to abandon the topic for one more personal. per-sonal. Ellen gently disengaged herself from his arms. "Why don't you go to Mr. Symes. your uncle's lawyer, and ask his advice?" she asked in a. natural voice. . .' '. , -; ,-'' Larry's brow clouded. "I'll tell . you why not." he said. "It's be cause 1 don't trust him." v "Don't trust him?" "Symes was with ITncle Steven when he died." Larry responded slowly. "I'm sure hp hasn't told the truth about it. He's hiding something." "What makes yo; think so? What makes yoi: so sure that, the, person who tviote this note is telling tell-ing the truth?" It was Larry's turn to hesitate. His race reddened. "For one thing." he said reluctantly. "1 know that on the night of his death Uncle Steven was out on Long Isiand with a very oung girl." Ellen's lips were dry. "Who told you?" she whispered. "The proprietor of the Ra Ta Ta club." said Larry. "He swore Uncle Steven spent the entire evening there with this girl. They left the club exactly three hours before my uncle died." Ellen's heart plunged dizzily. The nulses pounded in her ears and she could feel the palms of her bands growing icy. Hut Larry, staring at the rosy shadows on the hearth stone, did not notice how pale she bad become. "Poor Uncle Steven to be mixed up In a mess like that." be sighed. hl9 voice a mixture of pity and dis taste. "How do you know It was all so wrong?" the girl cried Incoherently. Incoherent-ly. "1 knew Steven Barclay. He was a fine man. one of the finest who ever lived." Her feet were on the brink of tne chasm: she would not falter now. "I forgot that you knew him -t the store." Larry said absently, still not looking at her. "It was at the store you knew him, wasn't It?" "It was at the store." she whispered. whis-pered. Her hand dropped In a gesture ges-ture of despair. She did not have the courage to go on. "Don't get the Idea I'm apologizing apologiz-ing for him, honey," Larry- went on reproachfully. "I knew him. too, and loved him. That's why I'd go to any lengths to protect his memory mem-ory from the tongues of people not worth his little finger." "What are you going to - do. Larry?" '"Do? I don't know. 1 know well enough what I'd do If I could Ami out who wrote this thing!" Who could have written it? Who but Fergus? All at once Ellen felt a desperate conviction that Fergus was the author of the evil message. (To Be Continued) X DOMT Boy.' joqo suREuy LEARNED HOW To ST AMD OtJ WIS HlMD LESS QUICK...
