For a minute of two he didn't say anything, but when he did speak, I saw that the truth wasn't woing to take hold. “That is gosetp, pure and stmple, Hornack. The Kendricks are my friends, and I have been as intimate in their household as any outsider could be. It's merely idle gossip, I can assure you.” “Maybe #0,” mid Mr, Hornack, | sort of drawing in his horne wher | he saw how positive the boss was about ft, “I'm not beyond admitting that the young woman who told me| is a little inclined that way.

The boss didnt speak again until the yard mwitches were clanking under the car, and then he mild: ‘Upton is well able to take care of | himself, Hornack, and I don't think | we need worry about him,” and then over his shoulder to me: “Jimmie, | [it's time to wake up We're pulling | jin.” As he always 44 on @ return from a trip, Mr. Noreross ran up to his/ office to see if there was anything | jDressing before he did anything cise May was still at his desk, and in answer to the bows’ question shook his head. “No; nobody that couldnt wait,” he said, referring to the day's call ers. “Mr. Hatch was up with a| couple of men that I didn't know, | but he only wanted to fnquire if you would be In the office this evening after dinner. I @id him! I'd find out when you came and iet him know by ‘phone.” I thought, after all that had hap. pened, Hatch certainly had his nerve to want to come and make a talk with the man his hired assassins were trying to murder. But if Mr Norcross took that view of it, he didn't show it. On the contrary, he told Fred it would be all right to telephone Hatch; that he was com ing down after dinner and the office would be open, as usual When things got that far along 1 sifpped out and went to Mr. Van Britt's office at the other end of the hall, Bobby Kelso was thers, holding the office down, and I asked him where I could find Tarbell. Luckily he was able to tell me that Tarbell wag at that moment down in the sta tion restaurant, eating his supper; so down I went and butted in with my story of the Hatch call, and how it was to be repeated a little later on. “I'll be there,” said Tarbell; and with that load off my mind, I mog gd off up-town to the club to get my own dinner. When I broke tnto the grill room at the railroad club, I found that Mr. Norcross had beaten me to it by @ few minutes; that he had already ordered his dinner at a table with | Major Kendrick. I suppone, by good l rights, I ought to have gone off into a corner by myself, but I saw that the boss had tipped a chair at the end of the table where I usually sat, so I just went ahead and took it.
