Tony glared at the *Mike” girl. He felt that he had a grievance, and | he wanted to give it an airing. But i she was too quick for him. “This is Dad, Tony.” she repeated grinning at him. “Dad, Pat, th® only living Jiggs th’ one strange Speci- man outta captivity!

Mechanically, as if impelled by a force over which he had no eontrol, Tony reached out iiis hand and felt the mighty digits of “the strange specimen” wrap | around it. The clasp was warm and (riendly, and Tony experienced an oddly soothing semsation, a sudde feeling of confidence in the man be- | fore him. «“Tis roight glad Of am, me bye, t'meet yez,” sald Pat Sweeney. his steely gray eyes looking straight into Tony's with a disconcerting steadineas. “Me gyrul, Mike—who oughter been born a bye, but wasn’t —teels me she posted ye a bit aboot th' raysoon ve were fetched here!” just gave Tony a mere outline, 1ad,” spoke up the girl. “You must tell him everything.

It was evident that “his gyrul Mike” | had little liking for Pat Sweeney's speculating proclivities. “¥is, yis, me gyrul, T'll fix thot, iver fear,” hastily promised “the only living Jigea” And he did. “Ye, see, me bye,” he went on, with a portentous wink at Tony. “it's fist loike this: Mike here has consaived a virtuous ann-tip-pathy for what she calls “speculative deals.” 8o, jist to plaze her Of've nromised this shall be Pat Sweeney's ‘swan song” in speculation lullybyes. , After this I'm to confoine meself to inore loidy-like pursoots!” Again the girl interposed \oice in the proceedings. “Tony is half sick with curiosity, Dad, as to th® manner in which T lisppeared s0 suddenly,” she said, vith her brief gurgle of a laugh. rhen she turned to the young man. “When Dad started in here with his experts to make his investiga- tions,” she continued, “it was neces- «ay to do some of th’ assay work on the spot.
