AN ALIBI FOR BOND (Continued from Page Nine.) the question, so with the explanation that ne was going "down town for a while," he sauntered out after dinner in the direction of Molly's house. Just as he passed Gink's garage Bond, junior, had an inspiration not a very brilliant one, but one which, like the proverbial straw, was at least worth snatching at. Frank sauntered into the gloomy, bad ly lighted concrete interior, carefully stamping out the cigarette that he had been smoking as he modiiy regarded tno "No Smoking" sign. Ginks, Junior approached him, wiping gasoline from his hands.

"Say, Ginks," Frank said, with what EXACTING." NEWEST METHODS, must he took to be an interestinc tone of de MODERN EQUIPMENT AND PRICES THAT spondency ill his "the governor is going to bring the Car around early in the morning to have some repairs done nothing that needs to be done immediately, but some little jobs. Listen to me! You can't fix it. iou haven't time. Every one else is leaving their cars here and your men wouldn't have time to touch it. In fact, you won't have room in the garage for it." "Yes, we will," said Ginks junior.

"Most every one always has their cars out on Saturday, in tact, it's the best time for us." "Wake up," muttered Bond. "I said you wouldn't be able to fix the car, and by the way, any time you want to use my baseball pass it's yours. Do you get Ginks grinned. "I get lady iricnd; "Never you mind what I've got. Just you take the hint if you know what's healthy for you." "Well, of course," stammered Ginks, junior, "If the old man isn't in in the try to have it done in time xor us tu make an early start." "How very kind of your father, was Molly's remark.

The plan of Bond junior, aided and abbetted by Ginks, junior, worked admirably in the morning and Bond ran the car back into his garage without the shadow of a suspicion. As he left, however, he made note on an en i'. nni et of the w.iy the speedometer stood. He felt half guiltv at not being generous enough to Cffer'the car to his son for the day. "Never, never shall 1 allow my son to marry a girl with that kind of hair, he had muttered to himself, with what he took to be commendable fatherly prudence, and as he reached the curbstone he turned to get a fleeting glance of the girl.

"Devilish pretty hair," he remarked to himself, and he made a fist at th? de Saturday "was. fair and the.shoejtrins that held Hie was strong enotign mr.ua io not give way. Molly was especially charming. Monday the car was safely locked the Bond garage, and Mr. nd rs.

had come home in high glee. The was no hint, of trouble until Tuesday noon when Mrs. Bond at luncheon began showing especial solicitude for Bond, junior, which Bond wise enough to know meant that Bond, senior was in Towarf jr husband she wore an air of injured innocence. Something had made her jeal ous. Bona, junior, The strain continued through l'Jchon and continued through dinner and once tinnri oenlnr.

looked witn an appealing air toward his son as if en thr. clnom of dis approval under which he wassufferlng. In the hall, after dinner, he caught the son by the coat sleeve "I want to see you in the garage, he said, and then Bond, Junior, had misgivings that the shoestring really hadn worked and that parental wrath was to begain the father, when they had reached the' small automobile shelter, "I'm in a teal predicament and maybe you can help me out. You know yesterdav I went around with some of clients. Some of them are women and one of them is a blonde, and your mother knows it.

This morning she found this slipper in the back cushion. Bond, senior, produced irom ins coat pocket a single golden wire hair pin "That's what the matter with her. If vou can prove an alibi forj, me it will be all right, tr you coum had been out with a blonde on Saturday when we were away I would give you my blessing. Bond, junior, straightened up. A new foiir, rr i.liuminess for his father welled up within mm ana oraceu mm for hlH confession.

"Yes," he said, "1 11 do It. and, dad, do minH divine: mo that little hairpin lust as a token. You know I am pretty fond of Molly." "Then you were out with your blonde, vnn vnune scapegrace 7" "Sure. Where do you think the pin came from?" "Bond, junior, swallowed hard for a few seconds. v.

"Well, vour mother Is right. I did have a blonde in the car yesterday. But she Is fat and nity anu Bne nas no more claim to golden hair than I have. She Is one of my best clients, who has practically signed the deed for that big uptown estate. It will be one of my best deals this year.
