down Id iront ot ber partner."
The door opened, admitting an
tier-eyed and obviously curloua
pjlromr.
j "You wanted me, ilrt"
! Jerry beckoned to him. "Step this
way, James. Sir William Avon
.wishes to speak to you."
' Our vliltor cleared his throat, "I
have been hearing some very com
plimentary things about you, my lad.
I like boys with Intelligence and
eouragft- aid you've certainly shown
jboth time qualities to a remarkable
'extent. In return for what you've
done I Invn great pleasure In mak
ing you this present. It's a check
Ifor two hundred and fifty pounds
,a Joint gift from Miss O'Brien and
myself."
Jimmy's eyes positively goggled
"Two two 'undred an' fifty quid!"
he stammered. "Wot all for me
' "That Is the Idea. If you take my
advice you will Invest It In Savings
Certificates." Sir William handed
him the envelope. "I have something
else to say to you as well. I don't
know what ambitions you have for
the future, but If you would like to
'come Into my employment, I will
find you an opening at the Avon
Works. As Mr. Trench will tell you,
there Is plenty of opportunity there
for a boy with energy and brains.1
Jimmy stood still, clutching the
envelop, his fate flushed, and bis
eyes shifting In a troubled stare
from one to the other of us.
"D'you d'you want me to clear
out, sir?" be asked huskily.
I shook my head. "Of course I
don't. I should be frightfully sorry
if you left us, Jimmy. All the same,
when you get an offer like this, I
don't want to stand in your way."
He drew in a deep breath, and
moistening his Hps looked up at Sir
William.
"It ain't 'alt good ot you, sir, hut
If It don't make no difference in a
way o' speaking, I'd rather stop with
Mr. Trench. E s going to teach me
to be an artist like 'Isself."
THE hard blue eyea twinkled. "In
tbat case," said their owner
gravely, "I tblnk you've made a very
sensible choice. Now, Cresswell,"
he continued, as Jimmy backed out.
I assume that you're prepared to
look after Miss O'Brien's Interests
and see that I don't take advantage
of her youth and Inexperience? How
would it suit you to come along to
the hotel with me now? We can have
some lunch and run through these
suggestions ot mine afterwards."
Mr. Cresswell got up from his
chair. "I shall be delighted," he said.

"That's excellent. ' Sir William
rose also. "Before we go there's Just
one promise I should like to extract
from these young people. As soon
as the doctor gives bis permission
say one day next week I want to
have a little dinner-party to cele
brate the inauguration of the com

Park View Hotel."
"I will for one," said Jerry prompt
ly. "They do sole bonne fern me bet-:
ter there than anywhere else In Lon
don." "Then I take It we accept as well,,
Molly," I said.
AS I spoke the telephone on the
side table suddenly began to
ring, and Jerry, who waa standing
beside It, lifted up the receiver.
"Hello! Yes. Yes, ne'e here. Do
you want to talk to him?" He turned
to me. "It'a for you, Nick."
I hoisted myself from tbe sofa and.
crossed the room.
"Who's speaking?" I Inquired.
"It'a Seymour," came a familiar
voice. "I've been trying to get bold
of you all tbe morning, but I've only
Just found out where you are stay
ing. My dear Nick, I can't tell you
how delighted I am at the good
news."
A mischievous thrill of pleasure'
shot through my heart. :
"Thank you very much, Seymour,'"
I said, "Awfully nice of you to ring
up."
"Nonsense. Why, my dear fellow,
Is there anyone In the world who'
would naturally be more pleased
and thankful than I am? I always
knew yon were Innocent, of course,
but this this wonderful public vin
dication was almost too much to be.
hoped for." '
"It was Indeed," I admitted. :
"When can I see you? I am most;
anxious to hear tbe full story."
"You can drop In whenever you
like," I said generously.
"Then I'll come round this after
noon." He paused. "By the way, I've
Juot been talking on tbe phono to
Lord Redland. He tells me that the
committee ot tbe clifb have official
ly accepted your resignation, but, of
course, that was all an unfortunate
misunderstanding. He Intends to
propose your re-election personally
at tbe next meeting. I shall second
It myself."
"I shouldn't do that If I were you.
Seymour," I said.
Why not?"
It would be a waste of time," I
explained. "I've no wish to come
back to the Royal United Arts. I
only used the place to wash my
hands In."
And with tbat I rang off. 1

THE END

WASHINGTON, Jan. 34. (ff) Of
ficial of the plant quarantine bu
reau of the department of agricul
ture have announced their regula
tions would not be relaxed to permit
negotiations of trade agreements with
countries now affected by quaran
tines. California bulb growers, who plan
to oppose phase of the proposed
trade agreement with Holland, have
expressed the fear that relaxation of
quarantine regulations might damage
their Industry.
The bureau of plant quarantine
said It regulations were based on
biological risk and had nothing to
do with. trade movements. The state
department, through negotiation of
trade agreements, cannot, bureau of
ficials aald, supersede quarantine reg
ulations. The lifting recently of the quaran--tlns-on
narcissus bulbs, one bureau
official said, wis Interpreted in some
quarters a a concession of negotia
tion of a trade agreement. This In
terpretation, he added, waa unwar
