I've no irlev tnce egalmt the police anyhow. If they hadn't arretted me 1 should ever nave met Molly." "All the same." Interposed Mr. Cresswell, "I presume you will have no objection to a proposal which was made to us this morning by the Treasury. They have expressed 'their willingness to discharge the ' entire expenses of your trial. I have, 'in fact, already taken the responsi bility of accepting their offer." I looked at him with approval. "You did quite right," I said. "Noth ing could give me so much pleasure as to think of Seymour being taxed In order to pay my debts." "What are they going to do about Mrs. Cowlland?" asked Molly. "Nothing." Mr. Cresswell smiled dryly. "Though she was undoubted ly an accessory after the crime, the occasion Is one on which the Crown la disposed to exercise Its preroga tive of mercy. The case against her will be dropped." "We've done pretty well, taking It all around," observed Jerry content edly. "The only thing left now Is the formula. I wish to goodness we could hear from Avon! It would Just put the finishing touch to everything. The old lawyer consulted his watch. "If you can restrain your Impatience for about two minutes, Sir Jerrold, I think It highly prob able that your wish will be gratified. "What do you mean ?" We all threS hot out the Inquiry simultaneously. "I haven't mentioned It before" Mr. Cresswell was evidently en joying himself "but as a matter of fact I bad a conversation on the telephone with Sir William before Joining you at the Home Office. He expressed a wish to see all four of us this morning, and since we had arranged to return to the flat after our Interview, I suggosted that It might he convenient to him to meet us here. "Twelve o'clock was the time he proposed and as It's one minute to the hour now I Imagine that be will be with us very shortly. Whatever else may be said against them, suc cessful business men are generally punctual." There was a sudden prolonged trill at the front door bell. "Like a conjuring trick. Isn't It?" remarked Jerry admiringly. "Shove -away that glass, Nick, and for good nss' sake try to look pale and heroic! I think you ought to be hold ing Molly's hand." We heard Dawson moss the hall tnd the next mpment the door opened. "Sir William Avon," he an nounced. Massive and erect, his famous lock of white hair drooping forward tcross his forohead, the great man stepped past him Into Uie room. A single glance from bis keen blue eyes seemed to take In the whole lot of us, Individually end collective ly, and then with a friendly smile that completely changed his ex pression he stepped forward to where Molly was standing. ""'OOD MORNING, Miss OIBrlen. vJ I am charmed to meet you again, and I am especially pleased that you were able to be here to day." He shook hands with her and the two others, and then turned to me. "And how Is the patient?" he Inquired.' "Practically ourod," I said. "I've had so much good news this morn ing that I feel like getting up and dsnclng." "So the Interview was a success?" He took a chair at the foot of the sofa and threw a questioning glance In the direction of Mr. Cresswell. "1 can't say that I am altogether satisfied," replied the lawyer, "but considering the reluctance of the official mind to admit any possibility of error, I suppose that, on the whole, we may consider ourselves fortunate." "He means that they've offered to pay my expenses," I explained. "Not only that," broke la Molly, "but they're giving Nick the com mission for the new memorial. It will be a lovely slap In the eye for ill the people who have been abus ing him." "It will be Indeed." Sir William leaned back and surveyed us quiz MILLION DOLLAR P OMAHA, Nrb.-(UP, Total value ef exhibits at the annual national ' nover show to be held here March 80 to April 7, Is expected to be In excess of 1.000 OOO and plant ex hibits alone probably will be valued at mora than $10,000. I Pred L Lalnaon. Council Bluff. I la., chairman of the florist growers' committee, already has received ap plication from 22 exhtbttors In all parts of the country. Hla Is assured, he said, applica tions already received constitute only a small part of those that will be received. "Wa are sure to get a large per rente of exhtbttors who mill enter at the last mlnuie. becauM whether or not they enter depends upon the condltton of their plants at the time the show openi." Lalnaon said. In an address to heads of local committees working on the shva. Dr. B. W. Murphy, fft. Joseph.

"May I offer my congratula tlona, and may I add that from what I have seen of your work I am con vinced that the Committee have come to a most wise and excellent decision? , "And now" he made a momen tary pause "I am Just wondering, In view of all this previous excite ment, whether It would be advisable to administer any further stimu lants. What do you think, Sir Jer rold?" "He's pretty tough," said Jerry, "and as for Molly, she's got the nerves of a prizefighter." "Well, then, In that case I think we might perhaps take the risk. I have come here to tell you that every claim which Osborne put forward for your father's Invention, Miss O'Brien, was entirely justified. You are the owner of one of the most valuable discoveries ever made in the field of metallurglo research." Molly flushed happily. "I'm so glad," she said. "There was only one thing I really wanted all through that was that father should have the full credit for what he'd done." "You may be sure he will." Sir William beamed on her paternally. "With your approval I propose to christen the new metal "Brlenlte." I can assure you that In a few months It will be one of the most widely discussed words In the Eng lish language." "Are you going to make this simple child Into a bloated capitalist?" de manded Jerry, I don't think all the money In the world could affect Miss O'Brien's charm," returned Sir William gal lantly, "but there Is no doubt thai she Is In some danger of being ex tremely well off. I have drawn up certain tentative suggestions, which I propose to discuss with Mr. Cross well. "Briefly speaking, they amount to this. I am prepared to put up a capi tal of two hundred thousand which I think will be sufficient to Install the necessary plant. In return for the sole rights of manufacture I will pay Miss O'Brien twenty thousand pounds In cash, and she will also be registered as the holder of fifty thousand one-pound shares. If these shares have not trebled In value within the next few years" he shrugged his shoulders "well, I shall regard myself as an extremely. Indifferent prophet." "Thank you," said Molly simply, "It sounds splendid." She slipped her hand Into mine and squeezed it gently. "You won't mind, Nick? I'll do my best not to get bloated." I laughed. "I'm not frightened." I said, "but It will take a lot of living up to. I shall certainly have to buy those striped trousers." "There's one other point," con tinued our guest, addressing him self to Molly. "Speaking as a repre sentative of the shareholders, Mtss O'Brien, I feel that we owe a con siderable debt of gratitude both to Mr. Trench and to Sir Jerrold Mordaunt. Again, with your ap proval, I would suggest that we should ask each of them to accept five thousand shares." "There won't be any trouble about that," said Molly firmly. "They always do as I tell them." She sat up with a sudden exclama tion. "Oh, but we're forgetting the most Important person of all. Why, If it wasn't for Jimmy ..." "I haven't overlooked the fact." Sir William dived Into his breast pocket and produced an envelope. "I was much Impressed with whnt you told me about this boy's Intelli gence and pluck. I propose to hand him a check for two hundred and fifty pounds, and If he likes to come to me I will find him a Job In my own works. We can always make room for a lad of that type." .Jerry leaned across and pressed the bell. "We'll have him up and let him speak for himself. Where's Jimmy?" he added, as Dawson ap peared In the doorway. "At the present moment, sir, he Is brushing George", "Well, tell him to stop It and come here." He turned to me. "What do you say Nick? I suppose we ought to accept this handsome offer. One Isn't often paid for enjoying oneself." (Copyright, ItSi, Ptnn rubiiBhing Co.)

Rothrock, Pendleton rancher, ended the ca reer of a big bull elk In the for ests of Idaho. Proud of the kill, he nad the giant head mounted and placed to fine advantage on the wall. Last night a& Rothrock was en grossed In his newspaper, the big head slipped from its moorings and crashed upon him. One of the antlers slashed a four-Inch gash In his head. The trophy had been replaced on the wall today, but Rothrock's favorite chair no longer atood within striking distance of the head.
