A woman's hand- kcerchief and a yellow theatre ticket stub are found in the same room. His son, James, traces them to a cabaret singer in Buffalo, Olga Maynard, who says they must have been stolen from her by a man she danced with but whom she did not know. Jimmy and Olga search for s man. They see him in a motor car, and Jimny ree- ognizes him as one of the two who murderously assaulted him after he had refused {o pay attention to warnings to lezve Buffalo. Jimmy falls in love with Mary Lowell and finds that Olga loves him. Mary is engaged to Samuel Church, a wealthy lawyer, but breaks her engagement when she sees Church's cruelty to a small dog. Jimmy's friend, Barry Colvin, tells Jimmy he has met a smart lawyer that day -- Samuel Church. CHAPTER XXXVIIL "Good Lord!" Jimmy exclaimed at the mention of Church's. name. "Everywhere 1 go I hear nothing but Church--Sam Church." Barry regarded him in bewilder- ment. "Why, what's wrong with you?" "Oh, go ahead, Barry. Don't mini me. You said you had met him to-| day? How come? E plain." "Well, I'm representing -a client with a big dan.age claim against the 7. and R. Railrcad. I've got a good ease, too. This fellows Church is the attorney for the railroad. It seems he defends all, or nearly ail, of their damags suits. "I met him today, and he had a| proposition for settling out of court, but it wasn't big enough moaey for me and I told him so. I'd rather take a chance on fighting him, but as 1 say he's a smart baby and he told me today how he could throw 2 Jot of obstacles in my way and even keep delaying the case until we get | ready to throw up the sponge." "Watch him" cautioned Jimmy "I've heard he was a jury fixer." "What? A big lawyer. like Why, he's known all over the state." "Pll tell you a few things sabout! Sam Church, Barry. Listen." * * * * "Can skunk you imagine a | low | ful girl in the world, Barry." "You make me laugh, Barry. Who'd beliéve her. And how could she prove anything. My boy, Sam Church makes his money do a lot 'of loud talking for him." "How do you know that Miss May- nard was tell you the truth?" "Don't be such a skeptic, Barry," said Jimmy wearily. "Do I look like a fool?" "1 hink you're a fcol to be staying here, with people taking pot shots at you out of the dark. And 1 think if the lady is charming enough, and according to you she is all of that, why, you might be willing to give her something better than an even break." "Oh, you're an utter fool. Won't you ever get any sense?" "Sure you haven't fallen for her, Jim?" Barry was grinning broadly. "You fat slob." Jimmy was laugh ing in spite of himself. No one cou'd | resist Barry Colvin'z grin. Jimmy | raised his fist 'hreateningly. "If it | was anybody but you, I'd take you by your fat neck and choke you." | He grabbed Barry's arm and tried to "talk sense" to him. | In the first place, I'd believe cny- { thing about Sam Church--0'Day told me an earful and I know by my own itimited experience with him that he's i. regular snake inthe grass. "And in the second place--oh, wel', what's the use of talking about it?" "And in the second place," grinned | Barry, "there's no sense to what | you're saying in the first place. You sound like the fellow who was arrest- ed because his dog had bitten a boy. | He told the judge his dog wouldn't { bite in the first place, didn't have any teeth in the second place, and in the third place he didn't have any dog in the first place." "You're hopeless, you good for no- thing shyster." Jimmy laughed out- right, and then, more seriously, he | asked, "By the way, if you were up | at the Z. and R. offices today did yiu see a girl by the name of Lowell?" "Saw a lot of girls, Jim. Some of | them were knockouts." "Did you see Sam Church talking him?|to any girl?" "No. Did I miss anything by not seeing Miss Lowell? Who is she, anyway?" "Mary Lowell is the niost wonder- The enough to persedute a girl the way | words came unchecked from his lips he did Olga Maynard?" Jimmy fin- | ished. "Well, why doesn't somebody get after him? Wh; :n't she tell that story to the police?' before he could think, "You're a liar," grinned Barry, jab- bing him in the ribs with his elbow, "the most wonderful girl in the world is your sister." "Now listen. | But he looked at Jimmy with a! keen, appraising eye and detected the' expression of pain on Jimmy's coun-' tenance. "Why, what's the matter,' Jim? Is it as bad as that? What did she do to you?" "I'll feek, better if I unload my troubles on you, Barry. In your ignorant way you asked me if I had fallen for Olga Maynard. No. Per- haps I'd be better off if I had. I fell for Mary Lowell, and I fell hard. And row she's going to marry Sam Church." "Wel!," commented Barry bluntly, "the young lady seems to know what side her bread is buttered on. Sam's got the heavy dough, 1 hear." "You wouldn't say that, Barry, if you knew her." And then he told Barry the whole story, beginning with his first meet- ing with Mary. . .. "And so you see, Barry, Olga in a { way is the innocent cause of the whole mixup." "Well, why don't you go to Marsy and explain the whole thing?" | "Not now, Barry. It's too late." "Why, you darn fool, are you go- ing to sit back and see her mary ths mucker Church, and not do a thing about it?" | "Barry, you fool, you don't under- stand. 1 can't go to her, crawling, and tell her where she's making a mistake. What kind of a position does that put me in?" "Well, if you don't speak up for the things you want in this world, you don't get them. You're mooning about the fact it's the thing that's out of reach that we want most. Go on and grab it. If you don't I'll go to her myself and spill the whole story. Sup- pose 1 had curled up and quit when Janet broke off with me. It's your darn stubbornness. . . . You're even more stubborn than--than Janet. "And, by the way, I might as well: tell you mow :hat you're the only: thing that's standing between me and Janet right now." | "Why, what do you mean, Barry? 1 don't understand." | "Just this. She compromised with me. She's so worried about you and wants you to come home so badly that she agreed to marry me if I could | persuade you to come back with me. 0 course, I wouldn't do it--I wouldn't tuke advantage of her, under the cir- cumstar ces. I'll wait until she's ready. But I still think you might listen to reason and pull out before someone bumps you off. "Janet still insists on working in that orchestra, and I've insisted on taking her home every night, espe- cially since the night some fresh cake- eater tried to pick her up--" "Good night, Barry! You--" "1 know; it doesn't sound very nice, does it? But it's true. One of the men in the orchestra is acting as escort while I'm away, snd she doesn't like it--thinks she's putting herself under obligations. "And another thing. I didn't mean to worry you with this, but I'm going to tell you while I'm about it. Janet got one of those letters, too. It was meant for her. Told her she needn't think she wasn't being watched--" "Barry, you're lying." "I'm telling you the truth. You're not only risking your own neck by staying on here, but you're bringing all this on Janet and your mother." "Barry, the whole thing's so un- believable. It sounds like some medieval poison plot. That sort of thing doesn't happen in the twentieth century. It's--it's ghastly. For the Here's another attractive fore sure to please.

"They wanted your father out of the way, and they killed him." "Yes, and Dal was in Grafton; Le wasn't here. If they want me badly enough, they won't stop when I 25 home." "Yes, they would, They simply think that with you here they're in danger of be'ng found." "Well, I'm sticking, Barry. I'm sorry." He raised his hands and let them all again to his side. "Until I see it through." "Well, maybe I can see your side of it, Jim." Barry laid his hand on the other's shoulder. "But," he de- clared through compressed lips, "if anyone tried to harm Janet, I'd kill him." "I know you would, bless your old heart. I said once before, and I re- peat it now. If it's the last thing I do on this earth, I'm going to kill the man who murdered my father." » \ » * The fog that hung low over Buffalo streets when they went in the theatre Lad lifted by the time the perform- ance was over, and they walked out into a clear and starlit night. . In the midst of a discussion that centred about two love-sick young fools they heard sharp eries some dis- tance up the street. Promenaders turned their heads inquiringly and gathering crowd. : ls "Come on, Jim." Barry grabbed his arm. "Maybe it's a fight. Maybe someone's getting pinched." It was a fight. Standing on lip-toe on the outer fringe of the crowd they could see two struggling figures lock- ed in a desperate clinch as they scuf- fled near the curb. They fought sil- ently, with grim intensity, wholly oblivious 6f the crowd that hemmed them in, Then suddenly there was a parting of the two forms and a sudden dert- ing in of one of them, a swift feint and then the sickening sound of the impact of fist on jaw. One of the figures dropped--dropped like a log, his head striking the curb with a re- sounding smack. He lay still. "Did you see that?" "He's killed him!" The mutterings of an idle, curious crowd. . . . Then there was a quick movement, 4 swift shuffling of feet and bodies tensely straining. . Someone in the crowd set up the 'ery: "Stop him! Stop him! There he gees!" then hastened toward the swiftly {To be continued.)
