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.

age. A lean, dry man as old as
Tope, with shrewd twinkling eyes,
came out to serve them, Mrs. Tope

He added resentfully:
" I ’ll have Bob's ma to support, 1
guess. It ain’t likely he'd saved
anything.” He shut the hood.
Mrs. Tope said quietly: “ Shall we
go on?” So the inspector climbed
in beside her. but us they moved
away he protested:
"Don't you hurry me all the time,
ma'am! I like to get the flavor of
the country as I go along I like
to talk to folks." And he said in­
quiringly;
"You acted kind of
m ad!"
" I was," she admitted. "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.
