morning and watch me put In the

suddenly, lifted her hand, and klsaed
IL "How I love you. dear little antag-
onist I" be murmured.
"U you loved me. you wouldn't op-
pose me," she protested softly. "I tell
you again. Bryce, you make It very
hard for me to be friendly with you."
"I don't want to be friendly with
you. You're driving me crnsy, Shir-
ley. Please run along home*, or wher-
ever you're bound. I've tried to under-
stand your peculiar code, but you're
too deep for me; so let me go my way
to the devil. George Sea Otter Is out-
side asleep In the tonneau of the car.
Tell him to drive you wherever you're
going. I suppose you're afoot today,
for I noticed the mayor riding to his
office In your sedan this mornlpg."
She tried to look outraged, but for
the life of her she could not take of-
fense at his bluntness; neither did she
resent a look which she detected In
his eyes, even though It told her ha
was laughing at her.
"Oh. very well," she replied wfth
what dignity she could muster. "Have
It your own way. I've tried to warn
you. Thank you for your offer of the
car. I shall be glad to use IL Uncle
Seth sold my car to Mayor Pound-
atone last night Mrs. P admired
It sol"
"Ah I Then It was that rascally
Poundstone who told y6ur uncle about
the temporary franchise, thus arousing
his suspicions to such an extent that
whqp he heard his locomotive rum-
bling Into town, he smelled a rat and
hurried down to the crossing?"
"Possibly. The Poundstones dined
at our bouse last night"
"Pretty hard.on you, I should say.
■ But then I suppose you have to play
the game with Uncle Seth. Well,
good morning. Shirley. Sorry to hurry
you away, but you must remember
we're on a strictly business basis—
yet; and you mustn't waste my time."
"You're horrid, Bryce Cardigan."
"You're adorable. Good morning."
"You'll be sorry for this," she
warned him. "Good morning." . She
passed out Into the general office, vis-
ited with Molra about five minutes,
and drove nwaji In the Napier. Bryce
watched her through fhe window. She j
knew he was watching her. but never-;
theless she could not forbear turning
round to verify her suspicions. When
she did. he waved his sound arm kt
her, and she flushed with vexation.
"God bless her!" he murmured.
"She's been my ally all along, and I
oever suspected Itl I wonder what
her gnme can be."
He sat musing for a long time.
"Tes," he concluded presently', "old
Poundstone has double-crossed us—
and Pennington made It worth his
while. And the Colonel sold the
mayor his niece's automobile. It's
worth twenty-live hundred dollars, at
least and since old Poundstone's
finances will not permit such an ex-
travagance, Tm wondering how Pen-
nington expects him to pay for It I
•smell a rat m big as a kangaroo. In
this case two and two 'don't make four.
They make six I Guess 111 build a fire
under old Poundstone."
He took down the telephone re-
ceiver and called up the mayor.
"Bfyce Cardigan speaking, Mr. Pound-
stone," he greeted the chief executive
of Sequoia.
"Oh. hello, Bryce, my boy," Pound-
stone boomed affably. "How's tricks?"
"8o-sol I hear you've bought that
sedan from Col. l^nnlngton's niece.
Wish Td known It was for sale. I'd
have outbid you. Want to make a
profit on your bargain?"
"No, not this morning, Bryce. I think
we'll keep It. Mrs. P has been
wanting a closed car for a long time,
and when the Colonel offered me this
one at a bargain, I snapped It up."
"And you don't care to get rid of It
at a profit?" Bryce repeated.
"No. slreel"
"Oh, you're mistaken. Mr. Mayor.
I think you do. I would suggest that
you take that car back to Penning-
ton's garage and leave It there. That
would be the most profitable thing
you could do."
"What—what—-what In blue blazes
are you driving at?" the mayor sput-
tered.
"I wouldn't care to discuss It over
the telephone. T take It, however, that
a hint to the wise Is sufficient; and I
warn you, mayor, that If you keep
that car It will bring you bad luck.
Today Is Friday, and Friday Is sn un-
lucky day. I'd get rid of that sedan
before noon If I were you."
There was a long, fateful silence.
Then In a singular small, quavering
voice: "You think It best. CardiganT"
"I do. Return It to No. 38 Redwood
boulevard, and no questions will be
asked. Good-by I"
When Shirley reached home at noon,
she found her car parked In front of
the porte cochere; and a brief note,
left with the butler, Informed her that
after thinking the matter over, Mrs.
Poundstone had decided the Pound-
stone family could not afford such an
extravagance, and accordingly the car
was returned with many thanks for
the opportunity to purchase It at such
a ridiculously low figure. Shirley
smiled, and put the car up In the
garage. When ahe returned to the
house her maid Thelma Informed her
tint Mr Brtwi PjiriHtmn hurl hnan
calling her on the" telephone* 80'ahe
called Bryce up at once.
"Haa Poundstone returned your
ear?" he queried.
"Why. yes. What makes you ssk?"
"Oh, I had a suspicion he might
Ton see. 1 called him up and suggest-
ed It; suueliow bis honor Is peculiar-
ly susceptible to suggestions from me,
and—"
"Bryce Cardigan." she declsred.
••you're s sly rascal—that's what you
are. I shant tell you another thing."
"I hope you had a stenographer st
the dictograph when the mayor and
your uncle cooked up their little deal.
That was thoughtful of you, Shirley.
It wss a bully dub to have up your
aleeve at the final ahowdown, for with
It you can make Cnkiedunk behave
himself and force that compromise
you spoke of. Seriously, however, 1
don't want you to use It 8hlrley. We
must avoid a scandal by all means;
and praise be, I don't need your club
to t.eat your ancle's brains out I n J
taking hl» club away from him to us<
for that purpose."
"Really. I believe you're happy »•
day."
"Happy? I should tell a man I II
the streets of Sequoia were pave<
with eggs. I could walk them all daj
without making an omelette."
"It must be nice to feel so happy
after so many months of the blues."
"Indeed It Is, Shirley. Vou see until
very recently 1 was very much wor,
rled as to your attitude toward me. I
couldn't believe you'd so far forgel
yourself as to love me In spite ol
everything—eo I never took the trouble
to ask you. And now I don't hsve to
ask you. I know I And I'll be around
to aee you after I get that crossing In !* 1
"You're perfectly horrid." she
blazed, and bung up without the for
nullity of saying good-hy.

Shortly after Shirley's depsrturt
from his office, Bryce had a vlalt fron'
Buck Ogllvy. The tatter wore a neat')
pressed suit of Shepherd plaid, wltll
• white carnation In his lapel, and h« |
was apparently the most light-hearted 1
young man in Humboldt county. H«'
struck an attitude and demanded: ,
"Boss, what do you think of my new
suit?"
"You lunntlc! Don't you know red;

"Well. I feel as happy as an and-
