HATum Sl that chance encounter with young Adam Bruce. Mrs. Tope saw that her husband was silent, and she asked: "What are you thinking?" " I was wondering why we hap pened to run into Adam.” "Just an accident?" "Call it that. But—accidents have a trick of fitting into a pattern by and by. As if some one had planned them." And he added: " I t struck me that Adam had something be sides a vacation on his m ind." " I wondered whether Miss Dewain is as cantankerous and stubborn as he pretends!" He chuckled. "You're looking for romance! But I’ m wondering what fetched a Department of Justice man into these hills?” It was obviously impossible, as yet, to answer this question. As they went on, the hills were bolder; the valleys deep, the streams swift and silver. They passed big estates, and great houses. The little car required gas, and when they carne to Ridgcomb.

"When he spoke of Mr. Holdom." “ Know him, do you?" “ 1 know who he is." Mrs. Tope, before her marriage, had been the effective head of the Jervis Trust, with an active interest in business and finance; and she explained: "He's the floor specialist in the Led forge stocks, and he's a crook!" Slowly they drove on. stopping now and then to look across the hills and down the deep bright valleys. They ascended a steep grade, and at the top she checked the car. Tope looked to see why she sloped down, and discovered beside the road a large white-painted sign, on which black letters cried invitingly: Adam Bruce decided it was time j for lunch, sought the hotel He gave his order, and while he waited, two people came into the dining room and stood just inside the door. A gray-haired man, round without be ing fat, apple-cheeked, with a mild blue eye and a curious suggestion of physical readiness in his walk. Beside him a woman, not so old as he, with a certain formidable sobri ety in her countenance that was be lied by the warmth in her eyes. Adam rose, stepped toward them, said in quick pleasure: "Hello, Tope!” The old man turned, smiled broad ly and clasped him by the hand. 1 A M P shades shabby?
