That was all Jim knowed about It. TH E BROWN F A M IL Y Rather, that waa all that be sup posed he knew until Miss Gloria waa done with him. She dragged other , r " bits of information to the surface. King had phoned her father; they had talked ten minutes; Mr. Gaynor was to UlephuA* to the iu t house again to- lo o k L J ^ n’1 know ” Pa Brown ■ M r'T Z 'C ’ p*'" '* » ppo » ss s « Br ni,.;f"* * “ V*»* *> I»** u» flectiely country tebqxhone lines, she knew that her beloved old humbug of s male parent was '‘holding out on her." Realizing that a father at the end of u longdistance line was (tossessed of a certain strategic advantage presenting more difficulties than a mother at hand, she said lightly: “ All right, papa. I’ll call her. Be sure you take good care of yourself. Bydie." She relinquished the tele phone instrument to her mother and stood waiting. She could hear the buzzing of her father's voice, but no distinct word. Her mother said “ Tes?" and “ Yes." and “ Yes, Ben." And then: "Oh. Ben.' I don't understand." And then her mother's voice sharpened, and she cut Into something Gaynor was say ing: “ I can't say anything like that! It Is as though we suspected him of being underhanded. And—" Such scraps of talk were baffling, and Gloria, with scant patience for the baffling, moved up and down rest lessly. When her mother had clicked up the receiver, Gloria followed her and demanded to be told. In five min utes her daughter knew everything Gaynor had said. King was to be told that Gratton, instead of going straight to San Francisco, bad gone down to Placerville, and next had turned up at Colonta; that he had spent three days there; that be had gone several times to Honeycutt's shanty, and had been seen, more than once, with Swen Brodie. “ It’s an outrage," cried Mrs. Gay nor, “ to retail all thai to Mark King. What business of his Is It If Mr. Grat- tor does go to Colomo, or anywhere else? We are going back to San Fran cisco tomorrow!” "Why, mamma! After papa has trusted to us to see that hla message Is delivered!” Gloria looked shocked. Incredulous. “ Surely— " So they waited for Mark King to come again out of the forest But the day passed and still he did not come. Mrs. Gaynor went off to bed at nine o'clock; Gloria, inddenly absorbed in a book, elected to sit np and finish her chapter. At eleven o’clock the air was chill, and Gloria as she went upstairs shivered a little and felt tired and vaguely sad. The next day dragged bjr; King did “T g h t^ n neW8,5“ per « - . * . ..
