You teem to forget that I am your fiancee." You're right I do. I never was your fiancee. I never asked you to marry me." Well, you certainly gave me the Impression that we were engaged.

He knew a burglar who was also nn expert at opening ordinary aafi. So he burglarized the office of Colorado ('barleys attorney, and presently Lutterworth Clarke received by ordinary mall a large fat envelope. It contained his love letters tu Mae, alias Doris. Simultaneously, from another anonymous source, he received a dipping fiot.i a inn Jose palter.

Today it is very shallow and almost dry, because, according to the natives, rats had stopped a number of rlvara from flowing into it. Irior to thp arrival of Colorado Clmrley and Mae at his house that night, nobody, not even astute Nellie Cathcart. could have Imagined the extent of Klmer Clarkes terror and suffering. He felt exactly as he hnd always felt In France when his unit was In reserve hut waiting to be ordered up to the front. Once under Are, however, he would say to himself: Well, here's where I die. I cant escape this, so I might as well quit worrying and make the best of It for the few minutes I may have to live. Im not brave but Ill act as if I nm." This old comforting philosophy had animated hint the moment he hnd come face to face with Colorado Charley and Mae. The sigtit of them, ns n matter of fact, hnd infuriated him and, fury displacing fear, he had grown His attack suddonly hnd completely upset the calculations of tho blackmailer; on t lie instant their plans rrnmbled. As they disappeared through tils door a feeling of peuee after victory settled over Elmer Clarkes sturdy soul. Elmer Clarke retired to his virtuous couch nnd slept the sleep of the conscience-free and the healthy. At breakfast next morning he had a telephone call from Nellie, who declared she was He simply bursting with curiosity. must take tier to luncheon that day nnd tell her nil about his Interview with those terrible people. Elmer accepted with alacrity nnd when he arid Nellie found themselves in a booth at the Ialaee grill he gave tier a detailed account of his adventure. Nellie noticed that Elmer did not pat himse'f nn the back. "I was seared to death, Nellie, he confided, "hut It would never have done to let them know I was, so I bluffed my way through. "I io you I hi rik Hie inchb nt is i Ioed? Nellie queried innocently. "I do not. I'm going to be the laughing stock of yds town sooner or later unle.-- s I buy those letters from them. I'm not.
