"What do you mean. William?" 1 asked as he came to a full stop. The inordinate vanity of the old chap over hU exploit in following the spy, who. disguised as a peddler, had come to our door, demanded frequent responses from me. his au dience. I knew that I would have to humor him if I got the full ac count of hi adventures, the knowl edge of which was of such inestima ble importance to me. "Why. she's a crook, that's jest what she is," William responded, "jest plain crook, an she's plannln' some mischief again you. Mis Gra rnie. as &u re as you're born." "Did you hear her say anythin r that makes you think so. William?"! I asked craftily, as he paused again, ."or do you Just judge her because she was waiting, for the peddler in that lonely place by the trolley tracks?" " - "Did I hear her say anythin'?" he repeated. "Did I hear her say anythin'?' with tremendous sar casm. ''Well, Mis Gramie. you jest wait. till I tell you what I beam her tell that peddler, an I guess ye'H think I bsarn her say fomethin'." "All right, William." I returned soothingly. "Go on and tell me ex actly what she said. . 'You Work In Fop Me". - ' Wllllam took a deep breath. Evi dently he was about to start at last in Ernest on bis story. , "Y'see it'was this way,' he began. HEREjr,,, NOW I I 1 I I I I I (fa'K n iff ill' ! TDominaftt Genius of the $cteznnx j "Me an' Pete was spyin" U at 'em Ion -top of the bank, but there wa AND l some vines and underbrush that kinda spread over us so they could n't see us. If the Draper gal and the man had looked around a it they couldn't have helped but caught us, but I guess they thought they was safe there. I s"poe the girl had looked the ground over be fore the man got. there she's smart enough to think of everythln'." ; William's eyes betrayed deep ad miration for "the Draper girl's" tal ent in spite of his disapproval of her. "Gee, she was mad when the fel low come pantin' up to her!" he went on. "You see, while he was rnnnin be had taken off that gray wig of hisn an' stuffed it in his pocket, I s'pose, and he had found a chance to wash his face somewhere though there weren't no water around the way we went anyway his face was clean, an' with his yol- ler hair he looked like a 2-year-old." William shook his head in puzzled reflection over the man's skill in getting his face washed. . I started to question him concerning the boz of theatrical cold cream which the man undoubtedly must have had in his pocket, thus enabling him to re move his disguising make-up in short order, but thought better of It be fore I had spoken. William's mind is a single track one. I didn't wish to get it switched from the main line until be had completed his story. He began, again In mo ment. " 'Weil, 1 can see you failed, you blockhead.' she says when sne catches sight of the man. 'or you wouldn't be tearin back this way. What happened? Couldn't you get Into the house?' "The man gave ber one look, bat didn't answer. I don't lake talk like that from no woman.' he kind of huffy like, and he tossed hi yeller hair back for all the world like a rooster a-perkin np his comb." I eouian t neip smiling at Wil liam's simile. Of course. 1 recog nized the Teutonic spirit of resent ful contempt for any aumption of authority by a woman, and I literally held my breath as I waited for Wil liam to depict Grace Draper's an swer to the man's words. "That Draper gal has rotgaIl!" William went on half-admlringlr. She thought she was all alone with that fellow, but she wasn't a bit afraid of him. Anybody could see that she was mad clean through. You poor fool she says. 'Just re member you're in this country now. not In your own, an you are workia' for me, me, ME!' "I tell you. Mis Gramie. that fel ler looked like the devil at her. Then he spoke so fast and smooth I could scarce hear him.
