For in that instant I real- 4zed that not only had Mr, Under- wood failed to give me the check, but that I did not know the name of the garage to which he had had my car taken, I told Lilllan both unwel- fome facts in as few words as possible. “That's one on Harry,” she com- mented dryly. “Of course, tomor- row, after his usual fashion, he'll remember and come rushing up here, ‘but that will be too late. Now what's to be done? There's no telling where Harry can be found.” _ With an unholy desire to laugh, T yemembered how I could reach Harry Underwood. I was still in possession of the scarab he so melodramatically had given me with the direction to present it to one of the owners of the pawnshop around the corner if I ever Letter from Leslie Prescott to Ruth Burke, That sister of mine, dear Ruth, is a mighty clever girl. In my last letter to you, you will remember I told you that mother had started to investigate the whole matter of those pearls. (Truly, Ruth, I wish I had never seen them.) I'm beginning to belleve in the legend that pearls bring tears. Of course, you will say that they also brought me a great deal of joy and happiness, but if that string of beads is the cauee of a separation between Jack and me, nothing else will matter. Mother sent a telegram to Jack asking him to bring little Jack over here. I can just see my husband's face when he got the telegram. He realized that it is war to the knife with us. 1 wonder if he remembers that Jack is legally my child, and if any- thing should come in the way of a separation, I shall insist upon hav- ing him. I haven't confided this to anyone up to date — in fact I have hardly voiced it to myself until this moment. I don't think Jack can refuse to eome on mother's invitation, espe- clally as dad particularly wants to see him. He will see from the kind of tele- gram which mother sent that she apparently does not know anything about our quarrel. It was a very diplomatic telegram. Mother wired that dad wanted to see Jack very much, and as I wanted the baby, he would better bring him himself. That was literally all.

Yesterday before Juncheon, without a word to anyone, my sister slipped out of the house. At dinner time she had not returned, and mother grew very much worrled. At last she confided to me that after she and Alice had left my room, Alice went into hysteries and said she would kill. herself if by any possibility Karl should ever know what she had done.- “What have you done?” mother. Evidently Alice thought I had told mother. what I suspected my sister of doing, but when she heard her question, she shut up, and after a few more eobs, said she wanted to be alone, Two or morning asked three times during the mother rapped at Alice's door and was told again and again that Alice would rather not see any- one.

Therexploit of the Wreck would naturally be blamed on those who were in the business for a lying. It began to look as if they were hiding from nothing at all, She slipped into the pantry and closed the door behind her, At the farther. end was the other door, that opened into the dining room, It was a swinging door, with a half-inch space between the edge of it and the frame, She tiptoed forward, brought her ear close to the crack and stood there breathing softly, Underwood was talking, but not about bandits. He was talking about Sally's apple pie, “I'm going to take her back New York with me and fire I"rench cook,”” he announced, hiv 1 don’t know what sort of a job her )rl.‘dmnvl can fill, but I'll find somg- thing for him.” Sally raised her cyebrows, for this was news, And then she heard ‘the familiar, boisterous voice of Bob Wells, “l don't blame you,” the sheriff. “The lady can certainly cook. You don’t get a cook once in a life- time, When you get 'em the thing to do is to rope 'em and brand ‘em, and then don’t let 'em outsida the corral, @ooking is a woman's nat- ural job, but they don’t all get to be experts, But now and then, if yqu <ecp your eyes open, you can find one, Why—" He paused to chuckle comfortably “The fact is, I'm going to marr one,” he said. “Congratulations,” remarked heavy voice of Jerome Underwood, “That's the way I look at it,” said the sheriff lightly. “You take that chicken, those biscuits, that pi got a girl who can cook eve well as that. can do a lot more than cook, a smart girl and she's, prett But when it comes to cooking she doesn’t have to take her hat off tt un\l’v:v]y: After all, it's the main thing.

S ——— Sentimentality! 8he wanted a sweet- heart, and she didn't want him. If anybody could figure out what a wo- man really did want, the Wreck was willing to listen, A couple of the boys drifted in for a late supper, along with Charley McSween, Timothy hung around the kitchen, The Wreck finally gave up the job and went out. He'd be hanged if he'd wash:the dishes; let Timothy have a fling at it. Sally finished her work and went off to bed. She was still angry. “Listeners never hear any good of themselves,” kept running in her head. That was not exactly true in her own case. Probably the things she overheard were compliments; she had heard them bhefore and al- ways so regarded them. But— “So Boh Wells is marrying a cook, is he?” she muttered as she turned off the light in her room. “I'm a smart girl, and I'm pretty; oh, yes. Rut the cooking is the main thing. It's downright important and neces- sary; it's the foundation. Oh, wait till T see him!" Downstairs in the hig living room there was an earnest conversation in progress between Chester Underwood and his father. 1t dealt with a dis- covery., Chester, roaming about after supper in hope of a word with Sally Morgan, and failing to get it, had drifted idly down among the out- huildings, He' had observed hefore that one of the little sheds, commonly used for storing tools and various odds and ends, was locked. It was \unusual to lock anyvthing around the ranch,” but he had paid no particular attention to the fact. Now it aroused his curiosity. The padlock wonld not yield to a pull. He tried several keys, hut none of them would manipulate the lock. ‘Then he picked up a stone and hegan hammering at the hasp. Iventually it loosened under the attack and he managed to wrench it out of the wood. Rusty hinges groaned as he swung the door back, A dusty flivver stood inside the shed. He starved at it for a while, wrinkling his forehead and trying to remember whether anybody at the ranch possessed such a thing. = He stepped into the shed and walked slowly around it. The place was getting rather dark, which was not favorable for detailed observation. So far as he could see, however, it looked just like any other flivver. But no; there was a front wheel missing, on the left side, A soap box had been placed under the axle, He looked around the shed, but could not find the wheel, Tt struck him as peculiar that anybody should put a flivver under lock and key, particu- larly ong that had only three wheels, Presently he steppedy outside again and‘ paused for another view of the rear end. His glance rested upon a licknse plate and begame fixed there. There was a vague stirring in his memory, Then, with a look of | astonishment on his facé, he hurried off in the direction s of the ranch howuse, All this he had been relating to his | father as they sat in the living room, and Jerome Upderwood had been shooting questions at him that began in incredulity and developed into | gennine curiosity. “You say yon can remember the license plate?” demanded his father, “No; I didn’t remember the num- ber, of eourse. 1 never took any note of 4§t; 1 wasn’t mear emough the other night.
