Now wa time to tackle this thing, once 'or all. "So it's blackmail," Bar. ripeated. "I've reminded you a prison offense. The police bet quite promptly. I'm sure.

"Blackmail and one or other little affairs. Mr. Dexter. ffes, while you've been looking up private history I've been looking lours, Tes, I think the police will be glad to see you." Bluff all of it bluff, but it waa working. Dexter waa on hit feet now. "Look here, Mr. Colvin, you're not going to call the police, are you?" "I certainly am." "But think ot your family, your aiater " "There la nothing about thia affair that can affect my stater. I have been threatened with blackmail and you will suffer the consequences. Aside from this crime you have just at tempted I will give the police the other information that has com to me recently. I'm not sura of the sen tence but it's certain to be a long one, Mr. Dexter. Ten years, I Imagine" Barrett has taken a chance, waa fighting ire with fire and aeemed to be winning. The creature before him bad become suddenly transformed. He trembled and hie eyea were diatorted. "Don t do it, Mr. Colvin! . he cried. Don't telephone the police. I didn't mean to harm you. It'a just that I wanted the money. If you'll let me get away I swear I won't make any trouble." Colvin smiled. His hand waa on the telephone. "I' quite aure of it." he aaid steadily. "Because, you see, you can't. The tale you proposed tj carry to Mr. Radnor would only cause him to do the aame thing I am doing notify the authorities. "Don't, Mr. ColVinI Give me an other chance. I'll never bother you again!" "And why should I beliove that?" "I swear itl I swear to God, Mr. Colvin!" Fifteen minutes later Barrett was alone. He stood at the window, star ing down at the street He hoped he had done the right thing but how could he be sure? Waa Marcia really safe? Her baby was to be born in January. Perhapa it would have been better to pay the $10,000. If Dexter should find out that his threata were all a bluff ! No, Barrett wouldn't consider that possibility. It was sim ply borrowing trouble. And he could not hand' over the money, couldn't knuckle under to a acoundrel like that! There was nothing to do now but hope and pray that the fear he had put into Dexter would endure at least until Marcia was well again. Later if there were trouble she must face it. He telephoned to teu her he bad seen Dexter. The matter had been settled and there waa nothing more for her to worry about. He prayed as he said it that the words were true. An hour later a note arrived from Miss Ella Sexton. The note read, "My great-niece. Miss Elinor Stafford, it to take tea with me this afternoon at four. 1 would be charmed to have you drop in at that hour if it auita your convenience." The day dragged. On the stroke of four Barrett crossed the street to be admitted by Craven. Elinor Stafford waa already there and Barrett found hit heart Quickening aa he turned to ward her. She waa lovelier than he had remembered. He liked her elight shyness. She had none of the brazen assurance of so many young people. She acted, instead, as had his genera tion when In the presence of elders. "I spoke to your mother," said Miss Ella to the girl, "I understand the is going south.' ' "Yet. Aunt Ella." "She wrote me that Dr. Simpaon aaid a change of climate it necessary to her recovery from a nagging cough." "Oh," Elinor murmured. She looked surprised and then flushed to stare down at her cup. She should be used to such lies, she realized, but she never did grow uted to it and she hated It. "Has your mother been troubled with the cough long, Elinor?" Miss Ella asked, sharp eyea on the shrink ing girl. (To Be Continued) The Best of the Nation's "Human-est" and Funniest Comics On This Page Daily VOORST.
