CHAPTER 410.
THE SUGGESTION DICKY
FORCEFULLY MADE TO
: , MADGE ABOUT. CLAIRE
5 ?TUe one thing certain about my
life with Dicky la that as to his
reaction to any given set of cir
cumatances I( am always highly
uncertain. ' '
I "had no Idea when I had fin
ished my defiant retort , to his
stricture whether he would be
furiously angry or laugh, heartily.
But I expected the one of the two.
I was genuinely surprised, how
ever, to hare him give me a
searching look, and then say in a
careless, conversational , tone, al
beit with a hint of ice in Its in
flections: . " '
"Oh. of course, you were right!
You always are. you know. And,
publicity aside, we can't take the
risk of having Claire annoyed by
the pompous popinjay. She's
bWn' through enough, poor girl,
Vrithout having to face that blat
ant ass.", :
I agree with you thoroughly,"
I said promptly, a shade too
promptly, I feared, for-Dicky not
to guess that hjs "solicitude for
Clalreuand his apparent disregard
of me who had been "through"
as much as she, was like a stiletto
thrust in the sharpness of its
wound to my self-esteem,
i Was this another indication jus
tifying the fear which had come
to roe in Mr. Barker's, dining
room, where I had I fancied that
my husband's glances at Miss Pos
ter held unusual Interest? Or
my thought flashed back to the
conversation I had overheard be
tween Jhe two reporters, and then
farther back still to an exclama
tion of Dicky's: 'I i 'isb I could
make you raving jealous once?
was It possible that, he might be
acting a role as I had done when
I came to the Barker house?
I had no chance for speculation
upon the, subject, however, ' for
Dicky was speaking j again, and I
gave him: my undivided attention.

"The Recording Angel knows
that I'd have liked nothing better
than to have turned that Pettit
person over my knee and given
him cause to eat his meals off the
mantlepiece for the next week or
two." he said grimly, "but as long
as the Barker dame was able to
sidetrack him. and old Harry has
contrived to disable his motor car,
I may as well let t well enough
alone. I warn you, however, if
he does push his cursed Imperti
nent mug into our business again
I'll smash it1 for him, publicity or
no publicity." ;
"That will be so nice for Claire,"
I murmured silkily. : .
:I'll take care of Claire.: he
retorted. "And) I'm; not going to
go out of my " way i to encounter
the Pettit idiot. Incidentally how
did the Barker lady flag him?"
'She locked him in the root cel
lar." I replied demurely.
Dicky stared at me incredulous-

"No! Honest?" he exclaimed,
and at my affirmative nod, struck
one fist into the other, and Rave
a laugh which' made. Harry Un
derwood and Claire, Foster, as well
as the station loungers, look curi
ously at us. ;-) : -i
"That's worth 'the bother of the
whole cursed performance!" he
ejaculated, while I registered the
mental pootest that Dr. Pettit's
discomfiture was - distinctly not
worth the annoyance and humili
ation to which I ; had been sub
jected. "By jove! I'd have given
a month's income to have , see
him when he found out where he
was!" - r h ,?.? -
He turned over the idea with
patent reflective enjoyment forarr
few seconds before speaking
again. : ' -i
"Well, that's that!" 'he said
crisply, at last. "Xow, the next
thing Is what's to be done when
we get to Kew. York? If Claire
goes j.o her apartment' for the next
few days, - it's dollars to dough-

we go home. Can't you think of
something?" .
5 His tone was the querulous one
which always spells the end of
his resources I and an appeal ; to
mine. . I cudgled my brain for an
idea. :
"Perhaps we could find "one of
those lurnished housekeeping
apartments up near Columbia," I
said. "I remember Leaving seen

rented by the week what is it?"

of self-ridicule, and after diving
into his pocket held up a key for

port Loss to Officers
Automobile thieves who break
into garages and barns to strip
automobiles of accessories are op
erating in the districts on the Pa
cific highway north of Salem, ac
cording to the reports which are
dribbling into the sheriff's office
day by day. The main robberies
were committed ; some time last
week, while the reports were cot
made promptly. I As a result the
local officers have been powerless
to give assistance or to -trace the
thieves. '
Seven garages have been en
tered by the gang, which operates
in a systematic manner. The only
clue which the officers are able to
clearly state is the report of a
lrge car, which wa3 headed south
at a high, rate of speed. It is
probable that the gang I operating
by touching at communities here
and there and selling the loot at
some southern point, for instance
San Francisco. ;
The gang used the same
methods in every robbery that has
I f en reported.
I Entrance was usually gained by
forcing the lock on a door and en
tering the garage to obtain their
loot, which consisted, as a rule,
ei batteries, spotlights, sidelights,
tools, and other; articles that are
stored In the garage.

two. motored to the Sandy river
where the smelt were running and
succeeded In catching all the fish
they could handle. and to. witness
the thousands of people who were
on hand to seize a part of the sil
ver hoard of the river.
"Commercial fishermen are hog
ging the best places of the river,"
declared Mr. Patton. "The man
without a stand-in has no chance
to get at the good fishing stands
to make a catch. If one could
have hired a boat and gone 15 feet
into midstream, a catch - could
have been made in a few moments.
The riven was black with the fun,
and the dipping of a net Into the
water resulted in fish being land
ed on the scows.
"I have never seen so many fish
in my life," declared -the local
man, "but one must have the
proper equipment to get the little
fellows Into a box. It Is all poppy
