Ain't It their business to rustle up stmysV" "Tho police," said tho postmaster, umuscd. "That is part of their busi ness. Wo'll pass tho buck to them, anyhow." After somo delay and repeated ox planatlons of who ho was, tho post master got nt tho other end of tho wlro his friend tho commissioner. Their conversation wuh brief. When tho post roaster liung up ho rang for a stenog rapher and dictated a letter of Intro duction. This he handed to Johnnie, with explicit Instructions. "Go to police houdquurters, Center street, and take thin note to Capt. Luke Byrne. Ho'll see that tho mattor Is Investigated for you. Do you know the way to police headquarters?" "I reckon I can Hud It. Is It fur?" Tho man from Arizona looked down nt the high-heeled hoots in which his tortured feet had clumped over tho pavements of the metropolis nil morn ing. "I'll send you In a taxi." The post master was thinking that this bub In tho woods of civilization never wXild bo able to find his wny alone. As the driver swept tho car lif nnd out among tho trnfllc of tho narrow Btreets Johunto clung to tho tjjp of tho door fearfully. Every moment ho expected a smash. Ills heart wns In his throat. Tho hurricane dock of a bronco had no terrors for him, but this wild charge through the humming tranches shook his nervfr. "I come mighty nigh askln' you would you lust as lief drlvo slower," ho said with a grin to tho chautretir.ns ho descended to the safety of tno side walk. "I ain't nwful hardy, an I suro wns plumb scared." A sergeant took Johnnie In tow nnd delivered him nt Mength to tho olltco waiting-room of , Captain Anderson, head of tho bureau of missing porsons. Tho Hunt, surveying ,the numbers In tho waiting-room and thoso passing In and out, was ready to revise his opln Ion about tho possible dlillculty of ,tho Job. He judged that half tho populn tlon of New York must be missing. After n tlmo the captain's secretary notified Johnny that It wns his turn As soon as ho was admitted tho punch cr began his llttlo ptcco without wait Ing for any preliminaries. "Say, captain, I want you to llnd my friend Cluy Lindsay. He " "Just n moment," Interrupted tho captain. "Who uro you? "Don't think I .got your nnme." Jojimite remembered tho noto of in troduction nnd his name at tho snmo time. Ho gave both to tho big man who spent his busy dnys anil often part of tho nights looking for tho lost, strayed, nnd stolen among Now York's millions. Tho cnptaln's eyes swept over tho note. "Sit down, Mr. Green, and let's get n your ' trouble. This noto says that you're looking for a man named Olay Lindsay who enmo to Now York novcrol months ago. JJavo you or lias Anybody elso heard from him lu that timer ' "We got a letter right after lie got here. He ain't writ since." ' 'TerJiapa lie's dead. We'd bottor look up the morgue rccords.'J Instantly. "That place where you keep folks that get drowned or bumped off? Say, captain, I'm hero to tell you Clny wns tho llvcst man In Arizona, which Is the same as sayln' . anywheres. Cowpuuehers don't tnke j naturally to morgues. No, sir, Clay ain't In no morgue. Like ns not he's helped fill this ycrc morgue If any ! crooks tried their rough stuff on him. Don't get mo wrong, Cap. Clay Is tho squnrest he-man ever God made. All I'm sayln' Is " The captain Interrupted. He nsked sharp, Incisive questions nnd got busy. Presently ho reached for a 'phone, got In touch with n sergeant at tho police desk In tho upper corridor, nnd sent nn attendant with Johnnie to tho po lice department. Tho Irish sympathies of tho ser geant wero aroused by tho naive hon esty of tho llttlo man. Ho sent for another sergeant, had card records brought, consulted a couplo of patrol men, nnd then turned to Johnnie. "Wo'vo mot your friend all right," ho said with n grin. "He's wan heluva lad. Fits tho description to a T. There can't be but ono like him hero.' And ho went on to toll tho Rtory of the ndventuro of tho janitor nnd tho hose Tho wnshed-out eyes of tho punch er lit up. "Thnt's him. Thnt's suro hl'm. Tell mo where he's at?" "Wo don't know. Wo enn show you tho plnco where ho tied tho Janitor, but that's the best wo can do." The captain hesitated. "If you find him, give him n straight tip from mo. Tell him to buy n ticket for Arlronn and tako tho train for home. This town Is no healthy place for him. Your friend hns made an enemy n powerful one. Ho'll understand If you tell him." "Who Is this hero cnomy?" "Novcr mind. Ho hit up too fnst a pnee." , .. "You can't tell mo a thing against Clny not a J.hlng," protested Johnnie hotly. "Ho'll sure do to tako along, Clny will. There enn't nny guy knock him to me, If ho does wear a uniform." "I'm not snylng a thing against him," replied tho ofllcor Impatiently. Tm giving him a friendly tip to beat It, If you seo him. Now 'I'm going to send you uptown with a plain-clothes mun. He'll show you where your friend lundc his Now York debut, That's all wo can do for you." An hour later tho llttlo cowpunchcr wns gnsslng wistfully nt the hitching post. Ills fnco was twisted pathct lcully to a question mark. It was as though ho thought he could conjuro from tho post tho secret of Clay's dls appearauco. Where had ho gone from hero? And where wns ho now? tho course oftho next two dnys tho Hunt came back to that post many times as the stnrtlng-polnt for weary, high-heeled tramps through streets within a circuit of a mile. Ho could not linvo explained why he did so. Per haps It was because this was the only spot In tho city that held for him any tangible relationship to Clay. Somo ono claimed to have seen htm vanish Into ono of these houses. Perhaps he .might come back ugain. It was a very tenuous hope, but It was the' only one Johnnie 4had. He clumped over tho pnvcniontB till his feet ached In pro test. His patience was rowarded. On tho second day, while ho was gazing blank ly at tho post a"grooin brought two horses to tho curb In front of. the houso opposite. One of tho horsos hud n real cowboy's saddle. Johnnlb's eyes gleamed. This was llko a breath of honcst-to-God Arizona. Tho door opened, and out of It enmo n mnn and a slim young woman. Both of them were dressed for rifting, she lu tho latest togs of tho town, he In a woll cut sack suit and high tan boots. Johnnie throw up his hat and gave n yell. "You blamed old burn-toad I Might 'a' knowed you was nil right 1 Might 'a' knowed you wouldn't blto off moro'n you could chow I Oh, you Arizona 1" Clny gave ono surprised Ibok and mot htm lu tho middle of tho street The Htlo cowpunchcr did a war dance or joy wuue no cuing to .ins menu ; hand. Tears brimmed luto his faded eyes. "HI yl yll Doggono yoro old hide, If It ain't you big ns coffee, Clay. Thinks I to myse'f, who Is that pilgrim? And by gum, It's old h 1-n-mllo Jew' n-hlttln his heels. Where you been at, you old skcczlcks?" "How nro you, Johnnie? And what aro you doln' here?" 0 "You (Hdn't answer my letters, so como to seo If you was all right" "You old scalawag. You carno to paint tho town red." Joli,ple, highly dollghtcd at this charge, protcsteu. "uonost i oum Clay. I wasn't foelln' so tur'bty) peart, his little Fldus Achates" on his hands ho cave no slizn of It. Ho led him across the rosil and Introduced him to Miss Whltford. Clay bleMed her for her kindness to this Fqunt, unub-nojied adherent of his whose lonely, heart had driven him two thousand miles to find- his friend. : Her hand went out Instantly. A smile I softened her eyes and dimpled her cheeks. ' "I'm very glnd to meet any friend of Mr. Lindsay. Father and I will want to hear all nbout Arizona after you two have had your visit out. We'll i postpone tho ride till this afternoon, j That will he better. I think." Clay agreed. With a cool little nod that Included them both, she turned nnd run lightly up the steps Into the house. "Some sure-enough queen," mur mured Johnnie In nnlve admiration, stnrlng nftcr her with open mouth. Clny smiled.

Johnnie Green gave an upwnrd Jerk to tho frying-pan nnd caught the flnp Jnck ns It descended. "Fust nnd Inst call for breakfast In tho dlnlng-cynr. Como nnd get It, old timer," he sang out to Clny. Thnt young mnn emerged from his bedroom glowing, no wns ono or two shndes of tan lighter thnn when he had reached the city, but the paint of Arizona's untempered sun still distil gulshcd hlra from the native-born, If there nro any such among tho lnhabl tants of upper Now York. "You'ro ono sure-enough cook," he drawled to his satellite. "Best flap Jacks ever made in this town." Tho Runt beamed all over. If he had really been a puppy he would have waggedi his tall. Since ho couldn't do thnt he took It out In grinning. Any word of praise from Clay made tho world a sunshiny ono for him. Tho two men were baching It.
