Only James Cane, ot the firm of Quentin Lodeiy Cone, remain master of himself. And he has done nothing to dlsHn oulsh himself in anyone's eyes unless the telegram Urs. Lodeiy saw him stuff into hie wallet means something. Three lonely ohitdren are left vennilese by the smash: Barbara Quentin, Leila Cane and Uark Lodtly, Chapter 4 MARK IN A MAZE THERE was electric light Id 1 Kings Mallard, twenty years later, but It had not oome to the Bank. The Bank was still lit by fas, which flared and made dirty patches npon the celling. Under the badly placed globes, the clerks sat a-id Inscribed rows ot figures endlessly In their ledgers. To the eccentrlo perception ot Uark Lodeiy, the long rows of figures were ladders, lifting people to wealth which he summarised as freedom or forcing them down wards to poverty, which be desig nated quit briefly as hell. . . . Uark sat under the last gas-globe, furthest away from the door, furth sst away from the girl and by the final tally furthest away from the manager's room. ,W1 -V tT 1 jr nhs m m AMjCi m .IJE By I r: Hi T Mark met the horn-rlmmed gaze of Miss Roop. Ot three advantages, Mark counted this third the greatest and best; for the business ot getting him Into the sanctum to rocelve complaints In peraon was a lengthy one. So lengthy end so piteous by the time Mark had dragged himself to his feet and found and dropped his crutch and nearly lipped going round the head clerk's desk and Anally sunk ex hausted Into the visitor's chair oy the Are that even the manager tried to Ignore the Incomprehensi ble mess Mark sometimes made of both the ascending and the de scending ladders. Instead, the head-clerk had In structions that that poor young beggar, Lodeiy, should be given tasks monotonous In their sim plicity. "Near through with It, Lodeiy?" talced the head-clerk In his not unfriendly way. ile stopped behind Mark's chair and scrutinised a total. "Why you're Just fooling look'ee here now, how can" His pencil went from entry to entry and finally drew as sure a line through the whole page as Mark had ever seen. Presently, he moved on, grum bling, and Mark resumed his con templation ot the values of the np-ward-flung light He began absently to plies the curve of a shadow on taper. . . . "Mr. Lodo'.y, Hi finish off those totals tor you." tis.Hr met the horn rimmed gate ot Miss Roop. "I'd like to, I would, really. I've cleared tip all mine and you look properly tired. I always think you should be excused the overtime work, you should, really you can't stand It" "Besides," added Miss Roop archly, "Miss Tanner Is sitting over by the window this evening and she says a cortaln young lady has been walking up and down on the opposite side ot the Market from before the gas was lit And these autumn nights aren't any too warm." Mark's feelings tor Miss Roop at once ,-ose from contempt to pure loathing. She babbled on, unknow ingly. "Doesnt she look fascinating, too, In those new furs?" "I didn't know Miss Tanner had any furs at all, new or old," said ARTICLES ON FILE Articles of Incorporation of the "Med ford Corporation" have been filed with the county clerk, tinder the liwi of Delaware. A certificate of the legal exlitenoe of the corpora tion, atteatcd by the utt corporation commlaatoner have also been filed. The Med ford Corporation Is li censed under the terms of the Incor poration to do e, general lumber and timber business In thl state, with 33,130 shares of no par value. The Incorporators are Muted as 8. L. Mackry, J. Bklrvan and K. Ken nedy, an of Wilmington, Delegare. Officers of the corporation are list ed as Walter A. Oraff, CblcAgo, pres Barbara Mark coldly. It was characteristic ot him that, although prepared to I snub Miss Roop as savagely as social custom would let him, he did not anticipate for one moment that she would withdraw her offer to finish bis totalx He reached tor his crutch and, as the head-clerk dis appeared Into the manager's room, slid off bis stool. "Now, you know aulte well what I meant that It's the young lady waiting for you that has got the new furs," simpered Miss Roop, walking straight Into the snub. "One ot these days I shall be com ing to your wedding, I expect." "Not In any capacity," dissented Mark and made his way with sur prising agility between the lines ot desks to the door behind which waited his coat and hat. The manager looked up from bis work as Mark's crutch tapped to and fro In the adjoining lobby. "Is that Lodeiy going home?" ' "Yes, sir, I believe so. Found someone to finish oft for him, I shouldn't wonder." "It Just occurs to me," said the manager, looking up again, "that there was some orange peel on the steps when I came In this after noon. Go after him, will you? and make, sure that he gets past it all right" The hoad-clerk left the room v. 4 s without rejoinder. He went, unwil lingly, Into the lobby and still more unwillingly Into the hall. Mark had already closed the main dcors be hind him, and the clerk, fumbling Irritably with his sheaf ot papers and disinclined to go out Into the rawness ot the October evening, turned back Into the Dank. ' ' Farrell Armltage and Kings Mal lard were taking stock ot each other through the autumn dusk. Armltage became aware of the scrutiny as soon as be closed the Upper Mallard vicarage gate be hind him and started down the hill Into the town. A passing laborer' stared and, lower down, a girl pusn Ing a porambulator full ot washing slowed her pace; by the corner where once there had been a candy shop, three lounging youths In caps pivoted on their heels to peer after hlra. . , Armltage did not flatter himself that It was either his boauty or his brawn that drew attention, nor oven the legend ot hit wealth nor ot his travels nor his Interest In Leila Cane, daughter ot Sir James Csno "Sugar" Cane (hrlce may or of the town and once Member of Parliament for Kings Mallard. No. Kings Mallard stared because, In a way, he was a stranger and stran gers had to be stared at; and be es use In another way he was not a stranger, ng only the man-site edition of the silent odd twelve-year-old who bad lived along ot parson at Upper Mallard for nearly a year. Let's see now, wasn't It in the same autumn Mr. Lodeiy shot himself, that the boy left? No 'twas the year before, surely. . . , And so forth. Farrell walked on, frowning. He told himself that he had not oome back to the west country before this because the vicar ot Upper Mallard, his one Intimate friend, so greatly enjoyed visiting him In London. And as for his money, ug liness might have made It but In its turn It could make beauty let the metaphysicians disentangle thatl And as for Leila Copyright, lilt, Julia Cleft-iddamsi Mark Lodtly hat a mlthao, to. morrow, that Influence! a half no n Uvea, ident; Henry F.

He steals keys to alt the toy trains and carts and gallops off on ft big rat. Chapter XH Hunting the Keys Santa Just thought his dolls had fallen asleep early because they had been playing so hard. And the next morning they woke up as usual, so he never guessed, until later, that the dwarf had' been there. It wasn't until the little elves who make the toy trains and dump carts began their work that Santa knew anything was wrong. Then he found there wasnt ft key in the shop, and not a single train, or Jumping Jack or cart would work. "Where are all the keys?" cried Santa, running around as fast as though he were six years old. "I'm sure the little boys won't like toys that won't work. What good Is toy train unless it goes?' - Santa looked high and low but not a key could he see. He pushed the trains and they rumbled along a little and then stopped right In the middle of the floor. Inga had been watching from her little throne at the end of the room. Quietly she pulled her little gold mirror out of her pocket, and said: 3a CURE.

And the little mirror showed her that path again leading ' to the witch's mountain, and finally show ed her the dwarf la hi underground room counting over the keys and chuckling to himself, "Santa," she called, - "there Is ft dwarf on the witch's mountain who has all the keys. My little mirror tells me so." Santa threw up his hands and dropped Into ft chair puffing from all his hunting. "I might have known," he said. "I'm not through with that witch family yet. Why that's the witch's brother. He must have been here last night. Did any of you children see a , strange little man around here?" "Why, certainly," replied the dolls. "The nicest little man brought us Borne candy last night after supper." "That's It," said Santa. "I wonder I didn't see him. Well, what's to be done?" They all sat and thought for minute, and then Plnoochlo stepped out end said, "Santa, I believe It's up to me to go get these keys back for you. I know the road and I wouldn't be so afraid as borne toy that hasn't been there. You can't go yourself, because you've got to be here to see that everything goes all right."

"Ha, ha, ha, laughed the dolls. "Plnoochlo doesn't look very brave." That hurt the poor little clown, and I "Where are all the ke.vsf" cried Santa when he found that none of the mechanical toys would work, he hung bis head and some tears fell out of his eyes and ran down hla long nose, drip, dripping to the floor. "Don't you are laugh, at our clownl" cried Inga. "He's as brave as anyone here even if he doesn't look it. Can't we go, Santa?"
