Her 'eyes concentrated on the tall, blond young man who was studying a menu with such absorbed attention, so obviously unconscious of bcr. She was trying not to feci a sudden rush of pleasure, mingled with relief. There was surely no need for feeling hot and bothered. The bold men who had shown such objectionable interest were now engrossed in conversation evidently having forgotton all about her. The man she had mentally dubbed the proprietor" was speaking now with a newcomer, who had sauntered by their tabic.

It'g deferentially, talking in a low tone while the young man regarded him coolly, almost with distaste, Molly de cided. Once he smiled, and she saw a flash of white teeth. And once he turned, and his eyes met hers steadily for a moment. She flushed a little. There were lots of staring people in this place. And she was quite as mannerless, looking nt others around her as though they were a new .pocics. A significant conversation was tak ing place between tbe dark-haired young man and the others at his table. "What's the reason for getting me into these clot lies the minute I get to town?" tbe young man asked in a low level tone. "The ssme reason that brought you to town, that psid your train fare from Chicago, Nelse." Thornton Black, who was known as "Steve" to a small group of "special friends," spoke Quietly. "Cut the preliminaries. What wed ding reception am I to crash tonight?" "lou're wrong this time . . you start your. job right here, what do you think, Nelse, the girl walked in tonight!

Nelse said slowly. "But this is aright pleasant planet I'm living on. A lot of the boys have left It recently." "Those boys didn't have your brains," Bill Patrick put in. "Tell me which one of your absent friends could have engineered that Dawson deal ex cept you and pulled three strsisht bank jobs without leaving a cl-w. Or mad- tbe police of four cities sit up anu take notice for nothing. You've got to band it to yourself. Those boys weren't as smart as you. That's why we sent for you. That's why we're willing tn take a small slice if you pull the job." "What job?" Nclst sat down. "Know who that girl Is I pointed out to you?" Blnrk nsked. "No." "Tbey rail her the Oolden Girl."
