"You showed me your town. 1 can do no more than return the compli ment How about the Pillars Club? cocktails, dress shirts, and subtle puppylsb remarks? Wlllett stood 'up. What the hell was be doing here anyway? He had nothing In common with this girl ot private cars, stone mansion, and sli ver evening gown. What waa he doing here with the stink of tbe yellow river still In bis nostrils and tbe toughest, dirtiest Job ot his career ahead? Hike, you busted engineer, you can't blame tbe girl tor not being an angel. Angels live In heaven, not In stone man sions. Entertaining evening! Sorry, gov ernor. His Jaw almost clicked. "Not going?" The girl sounded a little startled. "1 don't like It here," he said bluntly. "1 don't like anything about this picture. 1 didn't come here to be Impressed by flunkies and chande liers; 1 came here to see a swell glrL "And what do 1 And? somebody sitting on a throne surrounded by mirrors and fog.

It says: 'The storm Is over now and so forth, but don't let that fool you. "He was a man trying to beat a tough game, and he's through' for ever now, but you had an entertain ing evening, so that squares every thing." She was on her feet too, pale with tbe bloodless touch of anger, "No one ever talked to me like thla before," she aald furiously. "And yon can't talk to me like this I now. You're ruining what's left ot something that waa once very One. 1 dislike fools, but' I oan't stand roughnecks. I feel cheapened." FOOLI Roughneck. Sure, he was a fool. But what did sbe know of roughnecks? 8tandlng there lovely and cold, telling him he was a He suddenly took ber arms and she felt the pressure of Angers like steel For a moment she was rigid, furi ous, In his grasp, and then she sud denly went pliant and yielding. Her bead drooped back, ber eyes closed. and something bright stole slowly down her cheeks. "Oh, don't" she whispered. "Don't please, Terry, you're hurting mi Stricken at this new and bewilder ing side of hor, he released her and stood back. Sbe sank Into a chair, her head averted, and the only sound In that room was the ticking of tbe brassbound clock as sbe methodical ly rubbed a hand up and down one arm. "That's the end ot everything," she said tonsely. "I once thought the happiest moment of my life would come with the morning wben I saw you again. And now I don't want to soe you evev because you ran out on me when 1 needed yuu, want ed you and you're rough and wild I needed you!" Wlllett stared at her. She'd need ed blm. But why ? And she thought he'd run out on her. What should be do now? Burst from tbe cocoon ot her contempt and spread the gaudy wings of the heroin but terfly? Toll her he'd suited the police In vestigation, told the court to go to hell, sweated In Jail, stood In a little atone room with the lash on his shoulders and the rain rustling out side the walls? He'd be likely to tell her that now. even It he wanted to. Hah! A couple of "haha." A couple of deep-chested rumbling laughs. IT B didn't know where the butler Tl came from. The girl must have rung, or maybe the butler was sen sitive to mental telepathy. "Mr. Wlllett Is leaving," the girl aid quietly. Wlllett picked up bis hat He looked at her again. "Good-bye," he said. "Sorry, hut maybs It's Just an well." She Inclined ber head slightly. That was all. He followed tbe butlei out Into tbe ball, strode down that long parquet floor. An orchestra was playing In tbe drawing room and some dinner guests were Just enter lng tbe front door. Eleanor West waa entertaining, evidently. The world was full of entertaining eve nings. Outside, be stopped and looked back at the brightly lighted man alon. A million miles between thai girl's world and hla a gap that could never be closed. How Insane to think It ever could bave been dlt ferentl Lord, what a fool he'd been He crossed the courtyard, went through a door and out on tbe street He hailed a cruising tail, and then stood Irresolute ss tbe cab wailed. Sift mmm 'am mmim "I didn't come here to be lm . pressed," Terry said. "Where to, boss?" asked the driver. Wlllett contemplated him gravely. "How about Panama?" he sug gested. The driver locked slightly uncer tain. - "Or," addod Wlllett, considering, "Alaska?" "Is this a gag?" demanded the driver. "Mexico Isn't bad either," Wlllett told blm, "and they're building rail roads In Russia. And I'd kind of like to see the mosnlo sidewalks of Rio again. Funny thing, those side walks," be said confidentially. "It you walk along and look at them steadily you'll feel drunk." He nod ded. "Fact" "Listen, boss," pleadod the driver, "take It easy. Belter go borne and reBt up. Where do you ilvo?" "That," aald Terry. "Is a question I've often asked myself." "Let's take you to a hotel.' "What hotels have you got?" "Lots ot 'em. Th' Wlllard, Shore ham, Maytlower "Mayflower." Wlllett looked spec ulative. "Mayflowor where have heard thai name beforo?" He stood lost In thought a mo ment then took a coin out ot his pockot and handed It to the driver. "Flip It," he ordered. "Heads, lake me to the Mayflower. Tails, Union Station." He got Into the tail. The driver flipped th) coin, then shitted Into gear.

He mode ' hla hendqunrters In the Now Orleans area, and In his role of oldtlme gang ster he was the organizer of free- 1 lance small-tme buccaneers. His force became formidable, and he waa a law unto himself. ; When the government attempted to break the power of Lafltte and his gang, notices signed by Oovernor ( Claiborne were posted, announcing that 500 would be paid for the pi rate's capture. Lafltte answered with typical ridicule of governmental pow er. He posted reward notices offer ing 116.000 for the capture of Oov ernor Claiborne. In Now Orleans ! both posters could be seen side by I side.
