jrd&ncers. It was only because, with
. bis arms encircling her and with
'her eyes closed, there had arisen
fcfbre her suddenly the spectre of
frerrls at Southampton an officer
xot plain clothes as she supposed

arrest.
"Kl3 imase, and the fear that he
would yet discover her hiding
itace and drag her to justice, was.
her shadow until the party or
."Which she had been the acknow
ledged queen and intriguing mys
ftery broke up long after dawn,
?arid -Stefano, without trying to
fgain another moment" alone with
-her, had driven away "with the
"other revelers.
"'She had lain awake thinking of
pn and of the man Bhe heliered
, Id-be hunting her down until near
ly noon, and had then awakened
after an hour's fitful deep to
' jnore anguished meditation, on her
"srange situation and the danger
jVhich, for all she knew, was clos
ing in upon her.
, She pushed the call button be
lde her bed.
r, The maid's arms were full of
. flowers, as they had been the day
before, hut she had a small parcel
"if 'lwell and a note from Stefano
? written at the Meadowbrook club.
It began simply, "Good- morn-
' tag and happiness." and then:
' I have been thinking again of
how solitary and depressing your
days must be at "The Firs," and
so have evolved a plan. Of course
you drive? You must get out and
about. So I have sent a roadster
to you in this packet which ac
companies this a pair of driving
"goggles with flanges so wide that
they will be as full a disguise for
you on the road3 as though you
wore your half -mask, and at the
? same time attract no special at
tention. "The packet contains also a
tank note. Call it an advance or
what you will what does it mat
ter? One hopes only that it may be
convenient. I find that I am com
pelled to send it as it is instead of
' placing it to your credit at a bank.
I tried to open an account for you
with Pound at Brookville only to
"No!" he replied coldly. "It would be against banking
practice
be reminded by him that I did
not know your name and that the
bank did not have your signature.
So there is no choice but for you
to go there personally. May I hope
you will enjoy the drive over and
change of scene
A flush of pleasure was on Na
thalie's face as she opened the
packet, for it contained a pair of
driving goggles sewn to an oval
of silk mask and a thousand dollar
bill.
Her heart leaped at the sight
of his generosity and forethouglit
and because it represented twice

United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of JJealth, Hew York City.
HERE is no question that constipation may be a factor in prw

The severe straining at stool, which the victim of constipa

taken place.
For similar reasons heavy lifting and con
stant standing or sitting may be followed by
t hemorrhoidal development. Anything that intex-

the sum which she had received
from the Waldorf-Astoria when
she cashed a valueless check there
the day she fled from New York.
She was downstairs in 20 min
utes, her whole mind tilled with
a plan of hurrying to Brookrilie,
depositing her money la the bank
there and tgea repaying she did
not know quite how the Waldorf
Astoria on her New York hank If
it was that institution which had
suffered a loss through her.
Stefano'a ear was at the door.
It was a rather conspicuous ear
a long, low sporting affair with a
high hood and a yellow body
trimmed with black. She saw at
once that in a car of that model
the driver's goggles she now had
on would be in character with it
and evoke, no comment by other
motorists who met her driving.
She reached Brookville Just be
fore Pound's bank closed at
o'clock.
He was In the office where she
bad seen him first and knew her
as soon as she spoke to him. so
that she did not have to reveal her
face.
."Yes." he said coldly, "the bank
will take your account and you
may draw on the deposit you will
make today after 48 hours. That
is a banking custom."
"Not at once?" she inquired In
dlsappointtment, full of her plan
of making restitution for the had
check she had given in New York.
. "No," he replied, coldly as he
fore. "It would be against bank
ing practice.
. He had expected the deposit
with which she was to open her
account would be by check or
draft and so had insisted on the
banking custom that she could not
at once draw against it. And he
was congenltally close and mean.
So when he saw the thousand dol
lar bill she laid on his desk he did
not Inform her that it was her
right to draw against actual cur
rency at once. He merely nodded,
watched coldly while she signed
the two signature cards he laid
before her, and gave her a pass
and cheek book.
She left the bank, depressed be
cause she did not feel free to call
up the Waldorf-Astoria at the
nearest pay station. She was too
inexperienced to know that with
funds In bank she could have done
so and in addition have had
cleaned up the whole state of facts
which were unknown to her about
the check; how Sloan had made it
good, and the hotel had not been
put to loss, and that the law had

no case against her and its trailers
were not seeking her out.
"The day after tomorrow,
though, I can communicate with
them," she said to herself as she
went out to the street.
Stefano's bright and high-powered
car stood at the curb. A well
dressed man standing with them
turned at her step and raised his
hat to her. It was John Sloan.
"I'm fighting," he said at once
and with the pleasantest of smiles,
"against temptation. The human
being In me wants to beg you to
take him for a drive and- let him
talk to you, but the lawyer in me
is working today and doesn't dare
to let you take his concentrated
attention off his work. Did Pound
mention to you that I'd been in?"
Nathalie shook her head.
"He wouldn't," Sloan agreed,
"any more than he'd mention to
me that he knew you were dancing
in your own house with a mask on.
He omitted to do that. He thinks
he's as deep as a well. But I've
met his breed before; generally In
small towns. I'm going to see if I
can't surprise him."
Nathalie looked her own sur
prise. "In what way? I don't be
lieve Tsee "
"Neither do I," assented Sloan
cheerfully. 'I don't see a thing so
far, although for the last two days
I've been quietly investigating
both here in Brookville and one
or two other places. All I've turn
ed up so far is that Pound is in a
great hurry with his foreclosure
suit and we knew that a month
ago. But why the hurry? What mo
tive is there under his almost in
decent haste to get his clutches
on your property? Maybe nothing
but blind greed. Possibly but I
have determined to find out be
fore sale day."
He turned the subject. "Is ev
erything going all right?" And you
have my telephone addresses, the
day and night? Fine. Keep them
both where you can always find
them. And now please drive away
from me. I'm working."

"Flintstone." Mrs. Pemberton
Swayne's estate at Westbury,
where she usually tarried a few
weeks between her residence at
Southampton and the place a t
Lenox where she invariably spent
the late autumn, was in flawless
running order.
The lawns, like green carpet, for
the summer had been plenteous
with rain, ran down from the
house to high hedges which
screened the grounds from the
contaminating gaze of passing mo
torists. The shrubbery had four
men to attend it. The house, of
deep brown shingles and with
orange awnings, was almost vocal
of the fact that it had been de
signed by New York's most fash
lonable architect. Within it, U.
furnishings and equipment wen
impeccable to the last match tray.
And all within it waited and hunf
upon the least word or implied
command of Mrs. Pemberton
Swayne.
She was slim and youthful
looking as she lay on a wicker
chaise longue made to her order
at Canton which had been placed
for her on one of Flintstone's
many porches. The warm autumn
sun, filtering through one of th
orange awnings, enhanced the spe
cious youthfulness of her. She
had had a reasonably agreeable
