She recognized 8 Ptated, however, that he would be o it “Yours truly R. W. 8.” to have been a decision on Monday! Sara was furloust She had waited 0 patiently and in euch good faith, fnd now perhaps it would be too late to do any real good! She didn't know how tong !t took business men to put over a deal of that magnitude, but Swain typified to her the embodiment of power and she imagined that he and Fruegetheim, with their money and influence combined, could do anything. Sara was busy getting out the mail and looking after the matters Swain had suggested—her mind in a tumult of plans ind projects—when the office boy brought in a card with the name John W. Blake on it, He said the man had asked for the “boss” and when he had been told that Swain ‘wag not in, he had said his secretary would do as well. Sara told the boy to send him in. He was a middle aged man of wmooth address and a nice smile, He inspired Sara with confidence at once. He explained that the Government Investigating Committee, of which he ‘was a member, had sent him to ask Mr, Swain something about this new company he had formed to furnish mahogany to the Aircraft Board for use in the construction of airplanes, and he thought that possibly Sara could tell him something about the combination. He let it be inferred that !t was merely @ techinical point ‘and be would be glad if she could give him the necessary information “for his report, as it would save him nother trip to the office. Bara’s lips tightened. So Swain had gone ahead with the organization of the company and had thought so little of the possible harm she could do that he had not even troubled to bind her by a promise not to try to Start something. Perhaps he didn't think she had brains enough to find cout how to keep him from doing this thing, Well—she'd show him! May- be he thought because she had been ' @ selfish self-absorbed little fool that she didn’t have the backbone, when it came right down to it! Well—she'd show him! Maybe he thought that Decause she had been willing to sell lier soul for a mess of potiage she wouldn't have the courage to cut loome and give up everything she had always wanted, merely for the sake of @ tardily awakened patriotism and "n desire to set herself straight with Jim it he ever came back. There was « Jump in her throat at that last thought. With her eyes glowing and her color coming and going in the most distracting way, she told Blake the whole story. Told him of the con- versation she had heard—the name of the man they had bribed—and every- thing! Blake showed the proper amount of Indignation at the recital, the while his eyes pald tribute to her beauty He said his committeo had head- NEWEST THINGS IN SCIENCE. & New Jersey plant for thawing trosen coal in cars has obtained better results by blowing hot air against the rides and bottoms of the cars than by injecting live steam through pipes into the coal itself. * ¢ .

She intended to play fair, but thought she was Justified in considering the possibility of Swain’s re- fusal to give up his plans, To that end she had searched the papers for references to investigating | Bwatn’s operations.

He warned her, however, that it was a pretty serious thing to accuse a man of Swain's type with such a violation of the law unless she had the most complete | Proof with which to back it up, And he further intimated, with that nice | smile of his, that from her account she had absolutely nothing to support her charges but her bare word. He | said the law could be very severe with people who were guilty of libel! | ‘The more he talked, the more nerv- | ous Sara got and the less sure of herself was she, It had all seomed so simple at first, but she knew she was bound to go ahead at whatever cost to herself, and so she told Blake. When he saw that she could not be turned back nor scared out, he told her she would have to make the charges in person anyway, and the best thing he could suggest would be jfor her to take the next train to Chicago—the one he was going to take—and lay the whole matter be- fore the committee, He said that he on behalf of the committee would be responsible for the expenses of the trip, At Sara's look of indeciston, Blake | pulled out his watch and said abrupt- | ly: “The next train leaves at two- | forty-five. Can you be ready?” Sara took a sudden resolution, If | she failed now because she did not jhave the courage, she would be as guilty Swain, She would Go! “That will give me time to fo up honie and get my bag.
