He looked searchlngly at her eager youong face and told himself that any man she wanted must love her. "I hope you're right about Arml- tage," he said in surrender and drew to breast. He was trembling with emotion. His own wife, seen suddenly through the eyes of his chlild, was not admir- aable to him. He had set her an ample.

And she had shown him that he had no right to forbid IIPI to drink where he himself had drunk. "You're the dearest person in the Tvorld," Pamela told him joyfully, "Wait until Stephen and I present you a little row of grandchildren and see how happy we'll all be." Mr. Judson smiled.

Pamela shrugged, "Oh, well, ol course, daddy, but you know that you have the upper hand. You want me to aclmlre you, don't you?" It was now Mr. Judson who was uneasy.

"It Isn't sporting to use your wealth to tyyrannize me," Pamela went on, In appealing accents. "I am not trying to bribe you to be courteous," her father denied coldly. "But you expect me to lie down and roll over when you say Rover." "Pamela!" Pamela jumped from her chair, ran over and reached her arms up around his nock. "You're a holdover from days that are gone forever," she laughed. "You send my man away and expect me to say, 'thank you father It isn't being done, darling, pie too."

There was no time to communicate with Short today, but tomorrow we'll see if he can't locate the men Armitage suspects of being implicated in the theft of the car." "But can't they find Huck?" "He seems to have disappeared.

The police have no trace of him, not even a photograph; nothing but Ills description to send "What would happen if Stephen nnd I were to be married and go on a trip?" "I'd lose the bonds I've put up for his reappearance." "You don't care about that, do you?" "Now see here, Pam Mr. Judson was serious. "There'd be a warrant out for his arrest. Don't you go putting any foolish notions into his head." "But if they couldn't catch him we couold stay away until Huck Connor is foound, and that would be much later for Stephen, wouldn't it? I'm sure there's something going on that you haven't told me about." Mr. Judson considered.

Perhaps it wouold be best for Stephen to tell Pamela what had happened that afternoon. "You wouldn't have asked him to stay here except for some good rea son," Pamela went on. "After all, it's not you who is in love with him." "No, it' wasn't love for him. that induced me to keep him here," her father agreed. "Frankly, he is most unwelcome and I shall have a talk with Im before I accept him as my future son-in-law." "Then why have you asked him to stay?" "We hope to draw Connor within our reach."

The bus driver walked to the nearest telephone which was many miles away and at 10 o'clock wouldn't come here." "No, I don't believe he would enter the hotel. But he may try -to get to Armitage outside and we'll have a better chance of apprehending him or some one who knows where he is hiding if we keep a strict watch on Armitage, we believe." "I don't see what Huck would want to dp to him now." "We think he doesn't want him to marry you, Pam, and that he will go to any length to prevent it. You've got to be very careful." Pamela was frightened.
