If she was the kind of girl who got up at 8 o'clock in the mo}'enlns to play tennis the chances were that she did not merely play oc- casionally. Peter was placing a long | bet that the morning tennis was a daily “workout.” Not being a psychoanalyst he was untroubled by the suspicion that his subconscious was arranging a pos- sible opportunity for him to see Bar- bara again—and that he was pinning his faith on her because he desperately wanted that faith. But by the time he had waited half an hour a chill grayness had seeped !upward from his toes and spread until it absorbed even the pale sunny blue of Keep teeth stain- less -mouth fresh - with Pebeco T LAST—a real smoker’s tooth paste—dif- ferent in action, formula and results from any you have ever known before. Sharp-flavored, keen-tasting—it stimulates the saliva. Keeps mouth fresh. Breath fragrant. Chases away the bitter tobacco taste. You'll feel the difference the minute you try Pebeco. There’s no sweet, sugary flavor. No nauseating, soapy taste. Just-a wholesome, busi- ness-like tang that makes your whole mouth glow with health and cleanliness. Even if you don’t smoke—you need Pebeco. It’s a remarkable preventive of tooth decay. By keepingthealkaline saliva flowing normally, Pebeco neutralizes harmful mouth acids—check- ing the greatest cause of tooth trouble. Next time you buy cigarettes—buy Pebeco, too. You’ll get more pleasure from smoking. Don | ps turned upward. | supposed to be given to the quoting of | the sky. He was a fool—a fool without excuse. She was not coming.

He was so deep in despondency that he did not even see the shiny little sports coupe until the corner of his eye caught a flash of white and rose as Barbara slammed the door of the car behind her. With that he was asross the street. “Thank God!" he said loudly and fervently. | "“Oh, yes?” The corners of Barbara's “Is that the way newspaper men say ‘Good morning?’ " “You bet it is!” Peter agreed. “Look here,” he hurried on, glancing uneasily at the closed front door of the Cav- anaugh house. “The other day I asked you to do something for me, and you wouldn’t. Now I'm going to ask you to do something else.” “Meanwhile, you've done something for me,” Barbara said gravely. “I don’t think you reporters are half as inhuman as you pretend to be. I haven't looked in the papers lately, but I'm so sure you didn't write anything about me that | T'm going to thank you.” Peter flushed. It was a rare oppor- tunity that the staff of the Herald local room missed, for not one of them had ever seen Peter blush. he said with difficult honesty, “if a big story hadn't broken and let me out.” “I'm g'ad you said that,” Barbara said simply. “I like people who tell the truth—when it i1sn't necessary. It's one of those impractical virtues—you re- member? Now what is it you'd like me to do?* “It's this," Peter answered with a di- rectness equal to her own. “Your father is supposed to go to the city hall this morning with a report. I want you to stand here talking to me when he comes out and introduce me to him. He'd naturally stop to meet one of your friends. I'll do the rest.” “It sounds simple,” Barbara said. “The only trouble I can see with your very neat little plan is that I've never been actually introduced to you myself. The friends whom I ask to meet my father are not usually acquired so—sud- denly!” “Don't quibble!” Peter said sharply. “I don’t know what I'd have done,” | D. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2 1928. “The statement, you understand, will be public property in a few hours anyway. If I can get it from your father per- sonally, and get it first, I'll have a whale of a good story. If I don’t—well, I'm sunk, that's all. And if he's more likely to mail it than to take it himself, I'm sunk anyway.” “No,” said Barbara. “He won't mail it. Father never wastes time.” “Thank God for that!” “Are you always so devotional, Mr. Piper?” Again that demure, upcurving suggestion of a smile. “Only on special occasions of a crisis. Will you do it?" “Well,” Barbara considered a moment. “I think for the occasion of a crisis you almost might be—one of my friends.” At that’ moment the front door opened, framing Dr. Cavanaugh’s bulky figure for a moment beforo he descend- ed the steps with his usual air of de- liberation covering the speed that comes of no waste motion. “Can you wait just a minute, father,” Barbara called out. meet Mr. Piper. He's a friend of mine who works on a newspaper.” Dr, Cavanaugh held out his hand with his grave, but friendly smile. “My dealings with the newspapers have usually been at second hand,” he said. “But this younger generation has a way of adding to our education.” “I hoped I might meet you if I came around,” Peter said with a disarming grin. “In fact, I'm supposed to be cool- ing my heels outside Camberwell’s doorstep at this moment, but I cooled them outside yours instead.

I take it that it will be made public at once, ¢f course; but if I had it from you di- rect and—well, a few minutes before the other boys got hold of it, it would be a help ” Dr. Cavanaugh paused, his face de- void of expression, while Peter felt his hands grow lcy with anxiety. “Some day,” he said at last, “I am going to write a monograph on occupa- tional psychology. So you're trying to work a little gentle graft through Bar- bara here?"” Peter swallowed. “Yes,” he said, looking rather as if he were backed against a wall in front of a firing squad. “A queer thing, human nature,” Dr. Cavanaugh’ mused. “If you had denied it I should have sent you packing. But I see no real harm in telling you that the body found in the marsh is that of Mrs. Don Ellsworth!” “Whoop-ee!” Peter's face was fl- lumined with an incredibly wide grin, His wide-set gray eyes were sparks of excitement. He turned to Barbara, his arm extended for an eager handclasp. But Barbara was leaning against the side of the car, her knuckles white where he fingers clung to the door han- dle for support. Her eyes were closed. Her lips were only a faint compressed line against the pallor of her pinched, wan face. . Then, with an effort that summoned the last reserves of vitality, she opened her eyes. “I'm glad you got your story, Mr. Piper,” she said, and crumpled to the | running board. ' (To Be Continued.)
