"I'll wager you that if I had a clew I could solve this deep dark mystery." "Hullo, Red," riunter said, eye ing her with disapproval. Bella Ballard wore a bright peasant dress, a milkmaid's dress. It she had ever milked a cow he had not seen her. But for her father's registered herds she might have supposed milk grew in bottles and was plucked from trees. Her gay parody on a working-girl's cos tume somehow outraged the young manager. She was lust a little too lovely, her lips were just a bit too kissable. She hadn't any right to be so damned attractive. It would have been different if she still followed him aanund as she did as a teen-kid. row she was grown up. She would be married at Christmas to Oliver Tisdale. 'TRUE, ill thij was poor excuse for his contrary venom. "What are you doing here? Clear out," he told her. He supposed this was jealousy. But she got on his nerves. "What'i that you've got?" "The morning paper. It comes by the dawn cream truck. Since you seem to be illiterate I'd bet ter read you the news which has crowded the war news of? the front page." She shook the paper out "That'i interesting" Hunter grunted. "Yes, it is. A bank messenger was shot last night and seventeen thousand" Hunter grabbed the pap', wad furiously, hitting the high spots. The slugged bank messenger was near death. Unconscious, and the police had been unable to ques tion him. Identity of assailants unknown. The supposiuon was that a payroll, or secret movement of money in currency, had cleared through the First rational on short notice, but bank authorities had not been contacted at the time of going to press. The job had ill the earmarks of an inside stunt Hunter looked up. Red was watching him, and he was sorry he had betrayed his nervousness. He laughed, trying to be casual. "Wouldn't you say it was rather mysterious, Hunter?" "Why, yes," I suppose all such things are basically mysterious." She clasped her knees with her clasped hands, looked dreamy. "I'd like to lay you a wager, Hunter." "No, no!" he cried. "No more betting tor Hunter Dent, no, sirl You are now gazing upon The Man Who Learned Life's Lessons the Hard Way." "I'll wager you that if I had a clew I could solve this deep dark mystery." "That's all a sleuth needs." "Let me ask you something. "Go ahead." "Did Junior come to your room last night at any time?" "Good lands!" Hunter said crossly. "Why should I always be keeping up with your brother? Your daddy had better be doing it or you." "I need a clew. You wagered. Lay your money on the barrel head. Was Junior here?" Hunter grew bold. He was an noyed, guilty, and still vaguely angry at her for looking so much like a milkmaid in a peasant dress, and so kissable. Well, what it she was going to be married? There was still something of the trusting little girl about her. "This is your idea, remember, Red," he reminded her. Her eyes were halt closed and peculiar. "I remember." "For a big kiss now, and a big hug and kiss later I take mine on the installment plan I'll give you the clew. I'll pose with you when your picture appears in the paper as the one who solved the crime. Take it or leave it." "I'll take you." She held up hex lips. Hunter kissed her. (To Be Continued) .
