"I saw her on the street yesterday. She stopped when she saw me and looked as if she was about to speak to me." An eager light leaped into his eyes, at sight of which she clenched her hands till the nails left deep red marks in her flesh. "She did?" he asked. "Yes, but apparently she changed her mind." A new hope charged him, and he grasped it as a starving man clutches at a piece of bread. He thought, "If she was going to speak, it was to find out--to get the explanation I never gave her." But as swiftly as the thought had come to him he dismissed it. "Shes engaged," he reasoned, "and to a man that's .not good enough to be shot. There's nothing I could do." He felt as helpless as a swimmer carried along on a relentless tide. He rose. "Come," he said to Olga. "Pll take you where you're going." He managed a laugh. "Thanks for the lunch.

"How about a show, Jimes?" sug- gested Barry when they left the res- taurant and were walking along the street. "Something 1'vely to cheer us up." Jimmy was willing. His mind was filled with troubled thoughts. All through the dinner he had sat, word- less, as Barry chatted. He talked of the law business. He had had a busy day, he said. And Jimmy sat without hearing. Barry stood, looking intently at him as they stood in front of the theatre. "I hope the show is good. It will have to be darned good to get you out of the dumps you seem to have fallen in." "Oh, excuse me, Barry." Jimmy forced a smile. Barry strolled to the window and bought the tickets. "Jed Black's here, Jim. He's my favorite comedian. I think he's the greatest master of pantomime on the stage today." "Fine," said Jimmy, quite without enthusiasm. = "I've got a tough job ahead of me," went on Barry. "If I win this case, I'll have to be pretty good. I'm up against keen competition." "Quite a feather in your cap if yon win, eh? Well, here's hoping, Barry." There vas a returning interest evi- dent in Jimmy's voice. "Yep. I met a smart lawyer today, Jim. A heck of a smart lawyer. His rame was, lemme see. I'm not much good at names. Oh, yes, his name was Church -- Samuel Church. A smart baby, Jim." (To be continued.)

"Can't you stay a while? in no hurry, are you?" "I have an appointment with Barry Colvin," he lied--for the appointment was for dinner. Olga had moved very close to him, and she laid her hands on his arms, let them creep upward to his shoul- ders. . . . The scent of her hair was in his nostrils, like a sweet, vagrant breath of flowers on an April night. He closed his eyes, throwing back his head, and he clenched his hands tightly, conscious that no matter what he did he was bound to hurt her. "He's made life pretty bitter for both of us, hasn't he, Jim?" she half whispered, and raised her face to his. .... And as he bent down to her kiss, his arms pressing her closely to him, he saw himself again as some cruei blunderer smashing the toy of a little child.

And yet as she stopped occasionally to read them over, two words, born of 'a troubled mind, kept dancing before her vision. They were JIM RAND. And in her fancy she could still see his erect, broad-shouldered figure, his smooth brown hair and level eyes, his close-cropped moustache; and beside him, always, was a slender, beautiful girl--a girl with light-gold hair and violet eyes that were cool.

We did no such thing --we cut and ran pell mell for the plane. It was less than a hundred feet away but it seemed as if we would never make it. And all the time the bear and her cub were ambling brisk- ly toward us. I reached for the pot- cock of the gas tank, turned it on and held my helmet under it until it was full and soused it over the wings and body of the plane. Time and time I emptied the helmet of gasoline on the plane--and every time I looked up, there were those bears coining closer and closer. As I threw the last helmet of gaso- line over the plane, I looked up, and there--just across the plane--were the bears. Believe me, girls and boys, those bears weren't sight-seeing---they were out hunting trouble--and that particular trouble was us. I tried to light a match, and did you ever try to strike a match in a hurry? first one didn't light at all--the sec- ond hroke--but the third one lighted. I held it to the edge of the wing-- and it seemed as if it would never catch fire. As it caught, the old bear was scarcely a couple of jumps back of me.
