BY Lenth = pour into glasses ha "Fresh from the Gardens" SH ang.sugar SYNOPSIS Henry Rand is found murdered in a Cheap hotel in Grafton. in th e sam room is found a yellow theatre ticket stub which his son, Jimm y, traces to Diga Ma, a cabaret dancer in Buf- 0. Olga Slane it was stolen from her and put in the room b y lke Jensen. Jimmy meets and fails in love With Mary Lowell, but she sees him with Olga and breaks with him;. shé then se comes engaged to. Samuel Church, a wealthy lawyer, but later breaks with him on account of his cruelty to a dog. Olga is kidnapped by Jensen, and Jim- my follows Divis, a pal of Jensen's to a deserted house where Olga is held. In the fight that follows Jensen is killed. Jimmy then accusés Church of hired Jensen to murder his father. He care- lessly lays his revolver down and Church grabs it and covers him. CHAPTER LIV. If ever murder was in a man's eyes, it blazed in Church's. And there was a maddening deliberateness to him, too, as if he found much to enjoy in| the situation and was reluctant to haves it end so soon. But for a man threatened with sud- den death, Rand was surprisingly cool. He said: "And you still admit it, Church?" "Sure," the other snecred, "but lit- tle good it will do you, you young pup." "I just wanted to make sure," re- marked Jimmy with a shrug and went on cally smoking his cigaret. And now bafflement was written on the other man's face. How could this fresh young upstart be so pro- vokingly cool? How could he jest with death in that manner. A sudden sinking fear assailed him that, some-| how,' something was wrong--that! there was something he didn't know, His finger tightened on the trigger. "Why don't you shoot, Church?" and Jimmy, facing him squarely, took | a step toward hit~ "Go 'uhead; gat| it over with." "Damn you, I xill!" His teeth were get. Grimly he pulled the trigger, and instead of the barking shot, he heard a mocking click. He pulled it again ky again the hammer snapped on an empty chamber. Rand's taunting laugh was in his ears. "Empty, Church. Only one bullet in it, and I wasted that on your book case. "You fool," he said, "do you think I'm crazy? Do you think T'd deliber- ately walk away from that gun if it was loaded? I thought you'd do that very thing, Church--confess and then repudiate it the moment you knew wasn't going to kill you. You see, 1 anticipated you, and you played right into my hands by admitting it over | again just a minute ago." "I can still repudiate it, Rand," 'waid Church, and it was like the last | baring of teeth of a cornered rat. He' jumped for the table. "Ad 1 can still kill you." But Jimmy was in his way, and before Church could reach the table; drawer thete wes a loud trampling of feet and a sudden influx of blue- coated men. Strong hands held | Church, pinned his arms from behind. | "You see, Church," said Jimmy, "you can't very well repudiate it. after all. These men were planted outside the room. They've even got a court, - stenographer. You got every word, didn't you, Lieutenant?" Jim- | my turned to O'Day, who was stand- ing beside him. "Did 't miss a thing, Rand." O'Day was eyeing Church wrathfully. "You dirty sneakin' dog!" he observed, and turned his back. Jimmy opened the table drawer, pulled out Church's revolver and flung it on the table. He leaned toward Church, who was still held tightly from behind. "There aré two reasons why I didn't kill you, Church," he said. "I guess you know what one of them was--a girl we both know. The other--I gave my word to O'Day." He had time now to relax and to think; and the bitterness which had grown to be a part of him since Henry Rand's tragic death was somehow les- sened by the thought that the man resporsible for it stood before him, beaten, exposed and cornered. That | and the thought that Mary Lowel! would be waiting for him, . And then the poignant realization that Olga Maynard, who had been | helplessly enmeshed in this thing and | buffeted about, was lying alone on a hospital bed--friendl.ss, without cheer and comfort. . . Somehow" it dulled | the keen edge of the victory he had won; his triumph was hollow. Blind, hot anger surged over him as he regarded Church, the man re- | sponsible not only for his father's | murder but for Olga's plight as well. His face within inches of Church's "his hands tightly clenched to keep | himself under control and not strike { him, he said: "The really contemptible | thing about you is that you would | | have passed the blame on to an inno- cent woman. You knew that we had something on you ever since the night Olga Maynard and 1 saw Jensen in that automobile. And then you found out, somehow, that she was suspected. | "So you planned the kidnapping, and had my father's picture planted in her apartment. Church, if I could forgive everything else you have done --which 1 can't of course--I could never forgive that." He turned to O'Day, his face twist- ing with pity. "Lieutenant, they beat her--that man Jensen--because she wouldn't write a confession. "God knows what they'd have done to her after she tad." "Killed her, more than likely," growled O'Day. "Rand, I'm an old fool. I'm sorry for thinkin' what I did about her, an' I'm man enough to apologize when 1 see her agair. | But this here bird," and he indicated | the cowering Church, "is cooked. j Therese not only murder against hig, but acdiction and a number of ther thir. ge "By re way, Church," he conti- ued, "what was that you stuck in your pocket?"

"Take care of it," said Jimmy. { "They'll be wanting it as evidence latcr on. Hold on, though, guess I'll yer" it over myself. . . .

"I "believe! that's all, Lieutenant." Once more dull depression settled on him, ana! the draught of victory was bitter on his lips. There was Mary, the girl he loved, mo longer unattainable but waiting to hear from him. And now that he knew the was his and his agonizing longing was at an end his triumph was suddenly flat, like that of some seeker who, blind to every- thing but his goal, finds it, and when it is in his grasp pauses to look be- hind him and see what has been over- looked in his quest. There was Olga, broken in spirit, hurt, with nothing to look forward to. . . . And she loved him; had told him with her lips, with her eyes, with faithful devotion to him... What a debt he owed her--what a debt. . . "And God help me," he agonized, "how can 1 pay it?" He thought, "Church has licked me, after all. . ." Surprisingly, it was Church him- self who broke into his reverie. He said, with a forced smile ard affected indifferen.e, "Congratulations, Rand. You win. Lots of money now . . you can marry her, and they lived "bap- pily ever after." "Shut up, you," growled O'Day. He had "missed nothing. 'There was a rare quality of sympathy and under- standing beneath his tough hide. It hal not occurred to Jimmy that he was wealthy. He failed to realize it even then. He thought, "Yes, T suppose 1 can--and trample on that poor girl you dragged into this." To Church he remarked quietly, "You il never realize what you've done to me," and turned away to hide his face. A struggle went on within him.. As long as Mary had Leen out of his reach he had been indifferent to everything | - else--as indifferent, ut any rate, as a sensitive nature would permit. Then his path had seemed so clear. But now it branched, and one way lay desire and the other way--was it duty? He thought of going to Olga and saying, "You'll be taken care of now. Your troubles are over. I've got influential friends. I'll see that you get your star | --your career.' But the words in his mind were mere empty phrases. It would be nothing short .of hypocrisy, he thought. He groaned aloud. "Lord, that's not paying her back. I owe her everything," and was startled when O'Day put his hand on his shoulder, "Come, lad," O'Day was saying, "let's' get out of here. You need to sleep it over. Too much of a strain. Youn re tired, an' you're hurt, an' your nerves are all in pieces. You need quiet." He turned toward his men. "Bring him along, boys," and pointed to Church. When he spoke again to Rand his manner was bluff and hearty. "Did I tell you how Mooney got that dope from Mexico City? No? Well, he called me up first and sent the tele- gram on as confirmation. 1 told him I'd want it. Seems he had an old friend who used to be on the force years ago in Grafton and when went down to Mexico, learned the language an' then settled down in some business or other. "Mooney got in touch with him, an' this fellow did some gumshoe work an' finally found those Mexican lawyers Thaddeus used to deal with. They told him the dope an' he relays it right back to Mooney. Simple as pie, wasn't it--after he got on the right track?" Jimmy heard him listlessly. As they were leaving the front door, O'ay, with a sweeping glance around him, said, "Fine house, you've got here, Rand. Do you realize, my boy, that it's yours? Why, you're a millionaire, lad!" He whispered, "Think of it!" And then he threw an arm around the other's shoulders. "Aw, buck lad, buck up!" 3 Jimmy climbed into the auto along- side 0'Day and sat silent, his mind muddy jumble of thoughts as he tri to reach some kind of decision. And then, frowning, he set his teeth. He knew. "Want me to drop you off at home?"
