He ts interrupted by Mrs. Briskow, The daughter then tries to entertain him. Gray meets the other members of the family and incidentally makes a) confes friend of Bud Briskow, the boy of the case, Now go on with the story: By this time Buddy's admiration) had turned to adulation; he had passed under the yoke and he| sloried shamelessly in his captive) state, At supper time he appeared| with his hatr wetly combed In imi tation of Gray's. He wore a neck, tie, too, and imto it he had fas tened a cheap brass stickpin, much as Gray wore his. During the meal he watched how the guest used his knife and fork and make awkward attempts to do likewise, but a tabie/ fork was an instrument which, here- tofore, Buddy had looked upon weapon of pure offense, like a whal-| er’s harpoon, and conveniently de-| signed elther for spearing edibles beyond his reach or for retrieving fragments of meat lurking between his back teeth. He even did some hasty manicuring under the edge of) the table with bis jack-knife, Pa Briskow was scarcely less ob- servant than his son, He watched] Gray's every move; he sounded him out adroitly;-he pondered his light est word. After the supper things} had been cleared away and the} dishes washed, the entire family adjourned to the front room and} again examined the jewelry. It was) an absorbing task, they did not hur. ry it, Not until the following aft- ernoon, in fact, did they finally make thelr selections, and then they were guided almost wholly by the wood taste of their guest. Gray did net exploit-t} On the contrary, ~his effort to Umit their ex- travagance; but fn this he had lit: tle success, for Pa Briskow had decided to indulge his generous im\ pulses to the full and insisted upon so doing. ‘The check he finally “wrote was one of five figures. By this time the visitor had be come aware of arousing a queer re- action in Allegheny Briskow. He bad overcome her diffidence early enough; he had unsealed her lips; he had obtained an insight into her character; but once that was done, the girl retired within herself again) and he could get nothing more out of her. He would have believed that she actually disliked him, had it not been for the fact that what- ever he said, she took as gospel, that » Wherever he chanced to be there she was, her ears open, her somber, meditative eyes fixed upon him. Evi- dently she did not actually dislike him; he decided finally that she was studying him, striving to analyze and to weigh him to her own com- plete satisfaction before trusting him further than she had. ADVENTURES OF THE family, thru the gift of a gold cigaret When it drew for him to leave, and he announced tha the driver of his hired car had been instruc to return for him, there was protest, loud and earnest from the Briskows, father and son. Buddy actually sulked at being de nied the pleasure of driving his hero to town in the new car, and told about a samootf place on a certain detour where he could “get her up to 60 miles an hour.” “If it was longer, she'd do a hun dred," he declared. Pa Briskow was worried for the security of the diamonds, and as sured Gray that it was unsafe to trust those service-car drivers. But the latter, seeing a threat to his carefully matured plans, refused to listen, “There's one thing you ean do for me,” he told them. “You can give me a pint of cream.” “Cream? What for?’ The fam. ily regarded him with amazement “I'm fond of it. If you have no cream, milk will do.” Pshaw! I'll put up a hull bas ket of lunch for you,” Mrs. Briskow declared, “Buddy, go kill a an‘ you, Allie, get them eg the nest in the garden, an’ of them peach preserves, while make up & pan of biscuits.” Protest was unavailing. When the others had hurried away, Pa Briskow sald: “I been studyin’ you, Mister Gray, and I got you down as a first-class man.

You &o armed, I see. A shoulder hol- ster, as I suspected. I knew you had nothing on this side,” Seizing his victim's upstretched right hand with his own left, he gave it a sud- den fierce wrench that all but snapped the wrist, and at the same Instant he reached across and snatched the concealed weapon from its resting place, He flung the chauffeur’s body away from him; there was a sharp click as he swift- ly jammed the barrel of the auto- matic back and let it fly into place. The entire maneuver had been deftly executed, even yet the object of the ausault was speechless, “Now then"—the passenger faced about in his seat and showed his teeth in @ smile—"it is customary to permit the condemned to enjoy the last word.
