Tt existed only as a sort of jeering, ironical barb with which Millman at times, out of the nowhere, like a specter, grinning ma- liciously, prodded and made devil's sport of him. He had no concern with Millman's 24th of June! He would meet Millman in due time—two heml- #pheres were not big enough, or wide enough apart, to prevent that—but the meeting would be by his, not Millman’s, appointment. And then he had passed out of the more critical danger zone, and got further east. . even then, he had taken no chances. Dave Henderson was dead—the creation of one Barty Lynch was not a matter to be trified with. He had taken no chances; if anything, he had erred on the side of extreme caution. The abrupt tran- sition into respectability by one in misfitting threadbare garments, and | who looked, moreover, a disreputable tramp from his nights in the box- cars, was only to Invite suspicion at any ordinary store where he might attempt to buy clothes.

It | was the same thing over again now —the elimination of doubt, that would always have crept insidiously into his mind; the substitution of doubt, how- ever 'fll-founded, for an established certainty. He had felt better for that visit to the pigeon cote; he would feel better, even at the expense of pam- pering again the fantastic doubts, for | his visit to the St. Luclan Hotel to- night. Millman would not be there, any more than the money had been in the pigeon cote: but, equally, he, Dave Henderson, would have estab- lished that fact beyond the reach of any brain quibbling which, of late, had been, it seemed, 8o prone to af- fect him. el He stopped again to ask directions from an officer, and to ask this time another question as well—a ques- tion prompted by a somewhat un- pleasant possibility which, having once decided to keep the rendezvous. he could not now ignore. What kind of a place was this St. Lucian Hotel? ‘One of the best” the officer an- swered. “There you are—two blocks ahead, and one to the left.” Dave Henderson smiled with a sort of patient tolerance at himself. The locality alone should have been sufficient answer to his questjon. It was not the setting ¢ery far from it for a trap! His hand that had unconsciously closed around the stock of his re- volver in the side pocket of his coat was withdrawn and swung now at hin side as he walked along again. He looked at his watch once more as he turned the corner indicated. Tt was five minutes to eight. A halt block ahead of him he saw the hotel. He walked slowly now, the_ short distance remaining. * Hotel. Elght o'clock in the evening. June twenty-fourth. The words seemed to mock at him now and the after all!

From his perch in a treetop over- looking tho berry patch on the foot of the Great DMountaln, Farmer Brown's Boy had watched Buster Bear find and empty one of his palls of berries, and the cubs, Woof-Woof and Boxer, find and empty the other. He had been sorely tempted to yeil at them, knowing that at the sound of his volce tie Bear family would have left In a hurry. But he de: hoarsely. | cided that it was worth the loss of those berries just to see those Bears and what they would do. “I wouldn't have spoiled the fun of those cubs for all the berries on the mountain, thought he as he watched the twins playlng with the empty pail. “They act just like a coupit of boys with an old tin can. 1 haven't had so much fun since I went to the circus.” But after a while he realized that was growing late and he must it be thinking of getting home. again he thought of yelling to frighten the Bear family. Then he thought of a better plan “If 1 yell” thought he, know that they have been seen und will run away pellmell. 1 would like to see just how they will act if they discover that I am near, but think 1 haven’'t seen them.

When he reached a point from which the wind was blo ing toward the berry patch he swiftly but silently stole forward until he could peep out through the bushes and sce the bears. Buster Bear and Mrs. Bear were still eating befries. The twin cubs, Boxer and Woof-Woof. were still having a glorfous time with the tin pail.

They had caught the dreaded man smell and were away to avoid any possible Ganger. Farmer Brown's Boy chuckled. He waited a while to see if they would return. But they didn’t. The fact is they were hurrying back to the Green Forests ac fast as they could. Then he walked out in the berry patch and picked up his pails. Both were badly dented where they had geen knocked about, but they would still hold berries. Farmer Brown's Boy went to work picking berries.
