Pe! spenght you knew her:so well! I thought it was I who didn’t un- derstand her, couldn’t gage the motive for what she did! Of course she would go—after that Denver business. 1 think I suspected this all along. I think I knew she wasn’t sick—unless she was sick at heart, poor child, over the im- becility of her friends. Don't you see?” he demanded feverishly. “She did what she could for us— which happened to be everything! —and then she washed her hands of us; of Boulder. Clean disgusted with the lot!” In his turn George sat down. “It doesn’t make sense to me. Why should she be disgusted with us simply because she'd accomplished what she set out to do?” “Would you make us some cot- fee, Mrs. Webb?” Tim requested. “Mr. George and I didn’t have time for lunch today.” And when the fat- housekeeper had withdrawn, he explained. “When I said the lot of us, I meant myself, of course. What sort of a girl would she be if she felt the least interest, let alone friendship, in a man who stuck his neck out twice in the same place in less than a year? Who? if it hadn’t been for her, would have got it in the neck, too! She's fed up. she’s through, don’t you a get it?” “No, I don’t,” replied the simple Mr. Weekes. “She knew all along the kind of fool you were makin; of yourself. Good gosh, Tim, didn we talk it over—she and I, you and she? Even Iris dumped plans and specifications in her lap. She cared enough then to put that smart brain of hers on the job and show you where you stood. Why should she change her mind about uu just because she did that? nless,” he added, “she thought you were stil] in love with Iris: that you resented what Buff had done for you. Listen.” he de- manded, “didn’t you call her— telephone even?” “I telephoned half a dozen times. I called here. I sent her flowers that same evening. The shop was closed and I had to hunt up the florist and pay him a whackin, sum to open up for me. Then f got a messenger boy to deliver 'em =the roses, I mean.” “She knew they were from you?” “I put my card i: “Anything o: - “My name.” George clutched at his van- ishing hair. “Suffering cats, guy! Of course it had your name. That’s really the Purpose of cards, isn’t it? I mean——” A Little Exhausted “yes, I know what you mean,” + Tim said drearily. “Did I put: ‘With the heartfelt gratitude of a twice-proven idiot’? No, I didn’t. Maybe I should have, but I didn’t. It seemed a case for as few words as possible. Or so it seemed to me, There'd already been too many.” George regarded him unhap- pily. He felt the situation to be be- yond him. Tim was, as he had re+ itedly assured Buff, one of the it. Nevertheless his friend and business partner was finding him- self a little exhausted by Tim's af- fairs of the heart. First Iris, then Buff, then Iris again, now Buff. “Make up your mind!” he said impatiently; and it betrayed the muine seriousness of the case at he could be impatient with Tim.

She had dark circles be- neath her eyes, and her usual deli- cate make-up was carelessly ap- plied. “I checked out as you told me but-——” “Get in!” Buff held the door open for her. “I want to be out of town before there’s danger of run- ning into anyone we know. Had your breakfast?” “I couldn't eat.” Something in the forlorn state- ment stirred Buff as perhaps noth- ing else Iris could have said. She took her right hand from the wheel long enough to lay it re- assuringly on the other girl’s. “Don’t worry, honey. Leave Syeee ing to me, You're going to be glad happened. Honestly you are!” “I hope so,” whimpered Iris. Trail Grows Cold "THEY stopped in Denver for breakfast. Buff, who had al- ready eaten, sipped a cup of cof- fee and talked over her plans in a Gitick, low voice. Iris listened with gradually rising enthusiasm. Half an hour later they were on Colfax Avenue, headed east. Tim, inquiring at various filli: stations, discovered that Buff ha bought gas and oil at one of them. After that her trail grew cold. He spent some time at the palgeaph office, endeavoring to get in touch with Lance Carroll. The New York syndicate had refused to disclose his address. In reply to frenzied appeals, Tim had had only the assurance that mail sent to Carroll through their office would be duly forwarded. Finally he sent another message to say that Carroll’s daughter Buff had disappeared, and it was vitally necessary to get in touch with her parents. at once. This brought results. “GENERAL DELIVERY, TUCSON, ARI- ZONA, .ADVISE CONSULTING POLICE” tim appeated to the. telegraph appeal e_ telegrap! operator who was be; inning to evince a little human interest in these messages. “What do I do next?” he de- manded. “Wire the postmaster at Tucson and ask for this bird Carroll’s address. You'll have to tell him it’s about his Sead and even then there's no telling if he'll give it to you till he’s got Carroll’s per- mission.” He proved himself a true proph- et. The postmaster wired: “wit, GET IN TOUCH WITH PARTY AND GIVE YOUR MESSAGE.” “And that,” said the operator, “is every damned thing you can do unless you take a plane and fly to Arizona, Better stick around a while, though. If Carroll's within reaching distance he'll probably wire you.” .The morning crawled by slowly. Tim had forethoughtedly cashed a check before entering the West- ern Union office, which was just as well, considering the number of his telegrams, At noon he had had no word from Lance. ‘ “Go grab yourself a sandwich, buddy, and maybe your message’l] be waiting for you when you come back.” The youthful operator was hourly feeling himself of more importance. Tim had a moment of grim amusement at that “buddy.” ‘He'll be patting my head next. and telling me not to cry!” Nevertheless, he took this sen- sible advice. He was rewarded by finding an incredibly lengthy and expensive wire awaiting him on his return, Lance apparently was having hysterics in Tucson. He gave his telephone number, how- ever, and ordered Tim to call him at once. , This proved infinitely more sat- isfactory to both men. Tim briefly outlined the situation and Buff’s father listened carefully. When Denver had finished Tucson was considerably more cheerful. . Why didn’t you say in the be- ginning that she went off on her own accord? You had me scared ink for a while. Thought she was idnapped, or something. Well, my boy, there’s nothing to worry about. No, she isn't here—but then she wouldn't have had time to get here no matter how fast she drove. My lease in Chicago has a couple of months to run. She may be there, for al) I know. I'll give you the address and you can try her there when you think she’s had time to make it.” said, gulping. “it may. be lazing gulpi mi jazin, sun and gut ‘sand in Tucson but it's slippery roads “and snow here.
