READ THIS FIRST: Jill Justin, ultra-modern and as lambently lovely at 20 as the &ni lily, starta out on a moon-lit night | in August, accompanied by her| Lrother, Tony, to attend a harvest festival, The two run into an uu!omobllul hold-up. Jill 15 kidnaped by bandits, | but later rescued by Jack Btuart and returned to her home in Ellis- | ton, W. Va. 4 | It is the old story retold.

Now comes the Stuart and Tony Justin utle to property in the hills, porating on ‘old abandoned mine, One day in the following April Tony meets a pretty flapper, who tells him her name is Mary but she is calted “Mike.” She is driving a sport roadster and asks him to guide her to a place in the hills known as The Devil's Luck. Reaching the spot, “Mike” takes the lead and| pilots Tony into an electrically light- ed chamber, Here she suddenly dis- appears, but after a few minutes reappears, accompanied by a large | man whom she introduces as Pat) Sweeney, her father. Following a! short talk, Mike shows Tony the se- cret of her mysterious disappear- ance. This is an electrically operated door, swung open on a pivot in the rocky wall, and connecting with un- other chamber fitted up as a lab- atory. Tony has already learned thelr tax title mine vields a tung- sten-bearing ore of rich content.

But, if he knew nothing abeut th® ore, why, he would do nothing. D'yuh see, me bye?" “I see,” sald Tony, reflectively, and wondered at the same time in what light Jack Stuart, who was peculiar in some ways, and owned 2 rugged Scotch honesty that had shown itself to be fairly unpunctur- able, would view the matter. Pat| Sweeney, likke “his gyrul, Mike.” seemed to be able to read thoughts, | “Yez are wondcrin® how yer iirother-in-law wil! look at th’ situa- 1ion?" he said, tentatively. “Well, Jack is a bit queer in soms ways,” admitted Tony, a trifle rue- rully, “However, he added, 1 reckon we'll able to make hin sce th’ light th’ same as we do. And if we can,” he queried rather hur- riedly, “how soon would we be able to start on th’ job?" i A close obscrver would have noted | the glint of satisfaction in Pat Sweeney's keen eyes at the question That the young man had heen fas- cinated, his imagination intrigued by the alluring rhythm. the smooth run of consonants in the words— “Sixty-three thousand, three F dren and thirty-three dollars and thirty-three cents”—was plainly in- dicated. Pat Sweeney, wise in v.ays of human nature, and the workings of the human mind, had known just the pyschological effect those words wonld ha: That's why he had instructed Mike to play thiem up in the best possihle, Tt remained now to be decided between Tony Justin and Jack t, with Tony on the “money sids Thus matters tood. as he gave answer to the voun, s question He to hegin th' junk he replied form of an inquiry, W proceede thoughtfully, “t] pinds, av coorse, on the' amount toime thot e-lapses durin’ th' i val betwist th® prisint m t w'ich sees us riddy th' ev-vint thot wew no toinie at all-at all thin, T would say. sh'd be riddy tart Jist as cir-cum-stan-ces will 7 Does thot answer yer quistion Great Event, buy a tax incor- silver the loss =001 remit me not quite certain. ¥ i« sort of an id itself in his mind apswer to his Tony there was a ne trying to hape cucstion v iiguity.

How soon before th' ‘ghost begins to walk'? In other words, what is th’ carliest date on which your job can start, and how soon will you pay? She turned with a flapperish grin to “Isn't that what you mean, Tony?” she asked He nodded, laughing, both amuse- | ment and admiration vying with cach other in his contemplation of this girl. €he was a multiplicity of personalities, a “little of this and a little of that, and a lot of the hest of them all.” The man who was representative of “the only living Jiggs” chuckled an aldermanie chuckle. “Well, thin, straight,” he Oi'n giv' it to announced, turning again the light of his beaming countenance on Tony. “Today is Saturday.

Then up spake ' the “gyrul Mike” and she said: “I'm certainly glad that matter is settled!” Having relieved herself of this momentous observation, she ad- aressed Tony directly. “In the not improbable event’™ she continued, thoughtfully, “that th' soldier comes back and wints to reclaim his property, vou can case your conscience by returning it him without any litigation.” Tony smiled. His conscience was an abstract commedity that both ered him very little—if at all. At the same fime he couldn’t help he- ing amused at the ingeniousness of this girl's suggestion—the case witl which he was going to ev sponsibility, enrich himself, and fe no compunctions whatev He be licved he had a better suggestion. “Supposing.” he said sociably “that we let’ th' matter stand as 1t 1s until T've talked with Jack Stuari and my father? So far as I'm con- cerned, T'll tell you frankly I'm dis- tinetly in favor of your proposal.” “But, ye are not o certain ahoot er brother-in-law?" gaid Pat Sweeney, in a tentative tome. *1 hov' heerd,” he went on, “that Jack Stuart was a bit elose-hauled T riddy cash jist now.
