It was an unspeakably bitter moment for him; but by degrees he assumed a certain dignity that was new to the girl, and it promptly dampened her merry humor. ‘Torgive me!” he begged. “I am he- ,flde myself.

It Miss Carew had planned to over- whelm Capt.

First of all it occurred to him, that I this was Paige Carew, then nothing whatever had happened to her, be- cause there was no mistaking the .fact “Captain Phinneyâ€"Tom!" she e2;- claimed. “What is it? What have I' done?” He smiled a bit wistfully. “You? Nothing. All that has hap-. pened is that I’ve made a natural born damned fool of myselfâ€"as I usually do where women are concerned.” She stated at him blankly, uncom- prehendingly. “Honor bright,” she presently de- clared, “I do not understand. I cannot see why you should be so affected." He reached forward with a quick, impulsive motion and caught one of her wrists. “I suppose it means nothing to you; that I have learned to love you. I suppose it means nothing to you that you are the fiancee of my best friend. and that I must give you up. I sup- pose it means nothing to you that I will keep right on loving you because I can’t help myself, but must put on a grin to hide it from himâ€"from ever-ya.

Mr. Willard was in something of a hurry, and it didn’t take us long to strike a bargain." “Whoever takes that letter ashore,” said the man, “and finds a trustworthy messenger who will deliver it right away, can split the ten-spot with him; a flivver’s not picked up for an hour’s easy work every day, but it’s worth BOmething to keep. one’s folks from worrying.” “It happens,” he .went on, “that I- know ‘your uncle' pretty well myself." The man gave him a quick, sharp glance, but said nothing. “I would ad- fise you not to attempt to send that Letter ashore.

The man’s countenance expressed astonishment. “Hasn’t Mr. Willard told you ?” he asked. This explanation was illuminating. It required but a second’ 8 reflection to may the Whole thing clear in Tom’s mind and at the same time definitely fix the man’s status. Flint at last had struck Willard's trail; the latter's urgent need to find a. man to take Callis’ place had in some manner come to the detective’s ears, and he had been quick to take ad. vantage of it. Flint knew in a gens eral way what Willard wanted, and had hastily picked a Central office man that would fill the requirements. Manitestly there had been no time to post him; he was expected to com- municate with Flint as soon as the quarry was locatedâ€"hence the letter. Tom was guided to a Speedy de- cision by several considerations. To antagonize this man might mean the upsetting of Willard’s plans at the very moment of their fulfillment; to retain his good will would leave a rep- resentative of the adverse interests on the premises. who could frustrate Wil- lard if the latter’s schemes really were to interfere.
