Aurelius Smith listened to an account of Brown's trouhlea and aaid that he would see what he could do for him. Loueleu Lawton was the name of the girl who demanded the money. Smith telephoned for an apxiit-Bien- t. She told hlin to come and see her the following afternoon. He thanked her and drove Immediately to her apartment houKe.

The maid Miss Worthing had disappeared. said she had been expecting the doctor. After that she sunk among some pillows and began to cry and bite the sleeve of her dress.

Smith acted swiftly, with the appearance of extreme carelessness. He flipped a long envelope from his pocket onto the tiger lady' desk. She snatched It viciously, Inserted the letters, sealed the flap and wrote the address. Krom between the leaves of a note book Smith, supremely Indifferent to the tiny revolver, extracted a stamp and allowed It to. flutter down upon the envelope.

In the face of the menace, and saw her drop the letter down a mall chute In the hall. Brown called on Smith the following afternoon and thanked him for rescuing Miss Worthing from her unfortunate situation. They had decided to tell Mr. Worthing everything, but could not understand why the old gentleman had not received the three letters which the lawton woman had mailed. Smith tossed the dangerous letters across the table. "My return address was printed npon the envelope which 1 gave to Miss Lawton." Smith explained. "In her excitement she did not notice that my stamp had been sulvaged from an envelope and bore scarcely trace of gum. I knew It would brush off In the mail chute and that the letter would be returned to me for postage by the post fnce."
