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

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

take look at a new marker In tbe
churchyard. It says: 'The storm Is

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

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

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

He crossed the courtyard, went
through a door and out on tbe street
He hailed a cruising tail, and then

"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.

Jean Lafltte, one of the most pic
turesque pirates In the annals or I
American history, was a dreaded, un
predictable plunderer In his day
leader or a fleet of outlaw flghtlrw
ships that attacked merchantmen and
war craft flying any flag. 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.
Late; Lafltte won a presidential
pardon for the gallant part he played 1
by himself and his men In the de
fenso of New Orleans In tho war of
1812.

Persian women tor generations have
been required to hide their faces
from the gaze of all men save those
of their Immediate household. Yet,
strange as It seems. It was these same
women who Invented tne common
beauty aids In general use today.
They first concocted a beauty cream
for softening the skin, and with
powdered rice first msde face pow
der. Even rouge was made by the
Persian women made by crushing
and drying an Insect called "ahan
djorf." according to Saghapl's "In the
Imperial Shadow." (Doubleday Do-ran).
