Buff tuaaettx hat George offei to buy back the land at the price Ins aid II Irii accept, the' on the level, but il the refutet. the probably hat an other buyer. Chapter 2S The Urania BUFF hated her task. Her open, forthright n a lure rebelled against what amounted to spying upon Iris. But Tim. she reminded herself again and again, had to be saved from this second and far more dangerous plot "And after I've yanke him out of her clutches, he can sink or awim, lose his way or keep to the traight and narrow path." said Miss Carroll with a fine scram bling metaphor "He'll hate me even more than he does now if he knows I've snatched him from the burning. Well, that's all right too. Just so I spring the trap before it closes on him. it doesn't matter about me." She rather spoiled the beautifully altruistic sentiment she was trying to express by a sign that seemed to rise from her small custom-made brogues. She had known Iris from the first to be almost pitiably lacking in brains, entirely lacking in sua- tlely. She was like a movie extra who went throuzh her small part with conscientious accuracy. For two days she was very much the engaged girl, staying close to the hotel save when she apeared rafli- ... J U..l.. U.. i Tim. 1Mb C1IIU OUJIJ mi lit IIII3 LOI Buff kept doggedly behind them, feeling herself to be a cross be tween an international sdv and a jealous schoolgirl. But the third morning brought important results. Tim's car was parked near the hotel when Buff arrived. Evidently he had left it there for Iris to use. About ten she came out, wearing the new fur coat which had made Its appear ance in the last few days, and headed for Denver. Buff trailed her excitedly. Iris drove In character, the younger girl thought: putting on little spurts of speed exactly at the wrong time, slowing down in the midst of busy trame, making use of hand signals which would nave puzzled the most expert motorist nut eventually she drew up in front of a small hotel in the city, miraculously finding a parking place. Bud was not so fortunate. Bv the time she had disposed of her car and entered the lobby. Iris ws nowhere to be seen. There was nothing for it but to wait for her. Buff selected an inconspicuous spot behind a clump of dusty palms and kept one eye on her watch, the other on the elevator She suspected her quarry was in a parlor on the mezzanine, but felt it was too dangerous a business to follow her It was nearly half-past one be fore Iris came down. There were two men with her. one unmistak ably Latshaw. Buff silently blessed George Weekes for hi? clever sketches. There were the pouches beneath the eyes eyes coldly gray now the little lut to the big nose, the thin lips. He kept close to Iris, not a word nor gesture of hers lost on him. The other man was bluff and gonial. Only the expression of his face betrayed him to the watching girl. There was sly triumph in It. the look of having put something over on a woman: a sillv and un auspecting woman, at that. Bull's feminism almost rose in revolt at what she read in his eyes, his full lipped mouth. For a moment even Tim's safety hung in the balance Then Iris turned her head with a coquettish smile, and BvifT har dened her heart The Curtain Rises CHE was uncertain of what to do. U It was patent that she could not follow Iris about Denver. Yet she felt the crisis of the situation to be upon them. Unwittingly it was Iris herself stupid Iris who could not even obev orders without blun dering! was Bull's scornful thought who gave her the help she needed. "Shall we all lunch together and thn meet at Nesbit's ollice? It's late." she went on plaintively, "and I'm starved And" this time her arch glance rested on Latshaw who returned it without expression "I do think I've earned something rather special In the wav of food tod a v." "Where?" demanded Latshaw. "Oh. the Shirlev-Savnv! And the kind of luncheon that's a real celebration." Latshaw opened his thin lips to protest, thought better of it; and tl-e throe moved toward the revol ving door BulT flew toward the telephone, praying silently that George Weekes had returned from his own lunch, and that he was not out on a surveying ob. To her vast relief his cheery voice answered "Hello!" "George, this is BuftV' she brcan rapidly "Will you do exactly what I ask von ,o do?" "Y-yes. I suppose so. But where are you?" "Denver." she snapped. "And don't begin asking questions I'll do the talking You (jet Tim hand cud him and gag him if you have to. but gel him! and drive here as fast as you can. Park where you can watch the front entrance to the Shirley-Savoy. Or if vou can't park, get ou. and stand around until y.u ate- ais and Lat shaw and another man come out Then " "Latshiw?" George howled. "Ho-ly smoke! Buff, you're" "Will you listen?" she demanded coldly. "You all but shattered my eardrum then. Watch till vou see them come out, then follow them. They'll head for Nesbit's office. If by chance you lose 'em I -nean if it gets to Be about three o'clock, you go on to Nesbit's anyway. Iris has lust started out for what she called a celebration luncheon at the Shirley-Savoy. From there the three will go to call on NesbiL Need I be more ..jeeifie?" "You needn't," was the solemn assurance. "The game is in the bag; or would be, he added on a sudden uneasy note, "if I knew how certain I am to get Tim to Denver. He'll certainly balk at spying on Iris." "Get him here by telling him she's in trouble and going to need him." said the graceless child at the other end of the line. "And heaven knows that's going to be true as soon as Latshaw finds what is happening. If he begins to get restless about waiting for her at the hotel, or suspects something amiss, then bully him into staying Tell him it's your right to know what's going on; that there's such a thing as loyalty to one's friend; and business partners as well a. to Iris. Your tongue is nimblf enough. George. Use it!" She was oddly exhausted when she turned away from the booth She had had an early breakfast the strain of her discovery was be ginning to tell upon her. She longed to head her car back toward Boulder and leave the rest of the affair to Weekes. But Juff had not sacrificed her pride, given up hei beloved lecture course, spied on another girl, invited and re ceived! Tim's cold fury at her efforts on his behalfonly to aban don those efforts ai the last minute Act Ona " f EN," she thought, "will never do the right thing, if it's humanly possible to do the wrong one. George has a lot at stake, but how do I know he won't get tired waiting, or think it's a wild idea on my part anything No. I've got to see it throueh I'll have a cup of coffee and a sand wich and then I'll skulk about the Shirley-Savoy and see what I can see. Oh, Lance Eleanor! If you could behold your only child at this minute!" An hour and a quarter later the small person drifting to and fro in the busy crowd before the bie hotel was rewarded bv tht sight of George and Tim. the former driving the shabby car thev owned jointly, the latter sitting grimly by his side, neither speak in::. Buff could not forbear a chuckle at the picture they made. It was evident to the most casual spectator that they had had a row; that Tim had yielded, reluctantly and angrily, to whatever argument George had nut forward. He was in the mood. Bud knew, to rush to Iris s rescue even if he saw her in the company of Latshaw. But that's onlv Act One in this thrilling drama bv Buff Carroll. starring Miss Iris DeMuth and fea turing the Unknown Buver. Act Two will do the business. And." tears from her eves. "Act Three will throw the playwright out on her ear. however successful the play has been from the box-office standpoint. It all worked with unexnected smoothness. George was wheeling his car by the hotel entrance- for the third time when the thre' came out: Ins with a gardenia pinned to the shoulder of her new coat, Latshaw looking like a cat about to spring on a mouse, the second man smugly smiling. Bufl had a glimpse of Tim's startled face before George sent the car oast as rapidly as he could with safety. Unit felt oddly breathlesr when she got her own car from the park ing lot and drove it toward the big building which housed Nesbit's modest office. The delay was suffi cient to show her the first party going in at the entrai.ee She waited until she saw Tim white and plainly furious, and George. anxious but stern, follow: then she, circled the block and turned back toward Boulder. It was her hour of triumph, but no victor everexperioncee less ex ultation than she. Her very flesh seemed sore and bruised, ana her heart, she decided with a gulp of misery, was merely a cold, aching lump in her breast. She wanted nothing but a hot bath and a bed: Webby to bring her a tray at supper-time perhaps, and to answer the telephone and dooroe 1 with the information that Miss Carroll was what? 111? Gone to Little America? In the hospital at Den ver with a fractured skull and criti cal internal injuries? Anything, anything that would keep people away! She didn't wont to see George. She hated him as a fellow conspira tor in what site now telt to be a piece of .treachery on her part. "Be cause, look!" she adjured herself. "Why should I offend all mv prin ciples, practically starve and freeze myself, ,un the risk of being ar rested for vagrancy in Denver, miss a couple of motor accidents by a half of a split hair, just to prove to a dumb-bell that he is a dumb bell? Especially when he'll proh ahly come around and brain me when I have proved it." Continued tomorrow. ARLINE JUDGE IN SEPARATION QUEST New York, Nov. 2.
