' You ar? about to meet the boy -rhoni I have selected for your son. A word cf warrinsr don't trust him!" 'Does he know anything about our reeord?" Plount inquired doubtfully. Andrew's reply was explicit. "lie knows no more of you than you do' of him. If you value your safety you will bear In mind my advice that you keep him in ignorance." He step ped to a Ik11 call set in the wall and pushed the button. "Now. your son will be here in a moment. You have only to remember what I liave said. I shall leave you two alone with him for a little while," Then steps sounded in the tall, and Walter appeared In the doorway. There was a sarcastic inflection !n An drew's vok-e as he made the introduc tions with n wave of his hand: "Walter, your father your mother. Mr. and Mrs. Illount. your son." Without another word he turned and went out of the room. It was r.lount who first spoke. With a bluff cheeriness of greeting In his heavy voice, he said YlV.Jt -n11' ITiin- urn -nu prnV lie smiled a genial welcome. Walter replied bri3kly in kind: "Fine, dad!" A snort of indignati'an from Mrs. Plount Interrupted the complacency of the two men. who turned toward tsr interrogatively. "What's the matter, mother?" the husband questioned, with a. touch, c solicitude in his manner. The wife in her turn assumed c per 'rrrrv; war ?3 "Get that, Sadie? 4 F 5 ."'

John." she said, "and you know he absolutely assured us that the whole luing was only a harmless joke." She hesitated ( slightly, then eoutinued doubtfully. "Put if it's as Walter ays" She broke off. frowning. "Listen here, son." he said preseutly. with a return to his kindlier manner. "If I'm going to be a father to you I've got to be it all the time, that's cer tainnot merely when somebody else is around. I can't be a fond father one minute and then be hating your insides the nest, although when this thing is all over 1 might feel some dif ffereut yes! Hut as long aa we're on this game I'm going to think a heap of you. Yes. that's the program, and it's got to be carried out uo matter bow much it hurts me." Walter went forward a step toward the older man. with his jaw thrust out a little farther than usual, and shrug god his shoulders contemptuously. "I've got you doped out all right, he said. Plount sat erect, much surprised at the other's attitude of displeasure as Well as by the utterance Itself. "Doped out! be exclaimed. ; Walter, with the evident intention f bestowing on him a chaste embrace. "Aw, cut that out!" the sou cried. disgustedly, as be drew back in alarm before the threatened onslaught "Why, Walter!" "Ob. thunder!" Walter expostulated. "Say, what's the use of that bunk?" Mrs. Blount spoke seriously now. "No use. of course." K'.:e admitted gravely. "It's funny, though." she added, a little wistfully: "just for a muiUTs I t"St jicrjesr. Jt'.v you might be my boy, sure enough the one 1 never bad. Ain't that the limit now';" "Well, I ain't!" the yonug man de clared crossly. "So we'll cut out the cuddling. See?" I Mrs. fount s humorous sense of the situation caused ber again to speak. , "I can't see that he's changed a mite, dad." she remarked, with a mellow 'gurgle of laughter. I "Aw, cut that!" Walter insisted sul lenly. I "Do you know what you're up against?" he questioned shrilly. "I jtell you, straight, this game's danger ous. Do you know. It's some kind of a frame tip Andrew's got against Waln wrixat?" "Walnwright!" Blount cried, aghast at tbU disquieting statement as to the 'thing io which he had become Involv .ed. "Yo'u don't meant the ODe here the one that was district attorney?" "That's just the guy I mean." was the savage assurance. ' Btount showed symptoms of alarm. His rndd.v face grayed a little, and tbe heaTy flesh of the jowls sagged. "It don't look good to me. Blount con f essed somberly. " Who t's the idea 1" ; Walter shook hi head In admission at ignorance. j "All I know is that he's got It in for Walnwright." Again he shook his ihead. "That's all I know. Whatever jit is. it's something fierce, " If you don't , believe me just mention the name of Walnwright some time when he's around. You watch him then, and (you'll see, all right" By a great effort of self control ; Blount reassumed bis manner of genial- jitr. j "Well, well!" he exclaimed patron'z ilngly. "I really must look into this matter, quite In the interests of my friend. You know, I'm an old friend suited to the event and spoke in tone broken with emotion. "This is all so so affecting!" 'Huh! Waiter ejaculated huffily. 'I guess" Mrs. Blount interrupted: "Father, why don't you introduce me to toy son?" . "Sure do!" Walter remarked, with a grimace. "I'm just ilj-ing . to meet mother. .Blbtint cleared his throat impressive ly and spoka with a bow as low as a generous paunch would permit "Mother," he said tenderly, "this is our son onr only sou to this date. Wal ter." . - Mrs. Blount beamed regnlshly. "Ain't he the cute little son." she gushed. "Oh. sonny!" She advanced wJUi fond but toward tb diaconcart- Walter chuckled malevolently. . "I haven't got yon placed exactly," he admitted, "but I've got your class all right Do you get me?" Blount bounced heavily to his feet His expression was suddenly grown sinister. "My class?" he repeated blusteringly. Walter maintained his evil satisfac-fcoo. "I'd le willinsr to bet yon a hundred thimf- vou wouldn't tut vour Bertulon on niece of wax." Blount leaped forward with a lithe swiftness astouisbluz in one of bis bulk. "J3 vou!" he said very softly, but with an Intensity more vehement than mere sound. ' "Now. you look here and look mighty clojee! My name is John Blount. I'm vour father. There s ycur mother. I'm from Laramie, Wyo. "Now, you look here! They respect us out there. Under stand? That goes as it lays. They're going to run me for mayor next spring and my wife here is president of the Mothers' club. You can look up our record there right through for the last four years. We've lived straight, and we're going to remain straight. Now- let me tell you something else. If yor. want to look any further back than that you're looking for trouble and a chance to get croaked !"' There was a deadly ferocity in tbe tones. "Aw, you needn't get so soro about it," Walter urged quaveringly. Blount spoke again. "It looks to me as if we were likely to be together for some time to come. As far as 1 know, you're Just Walter Blount Outside of Walter Blount I don't know who you are, and I don't care either." Walter strove again to placate the man whom he bad so seriously of fended, "Aw, I was just kidding," he pro tested weak'.y. His attempt at a pro pitiatory smile was tremulous. Of a sudden a new curiosity stirred in Walter. "And tbe girl that skirt ray sister. you know! What is she?" he demand ed. "Is she one of us?" "She's only loeu with us a week." Mrs. Blount explained. "Came from across the pond, so how can we tell?" Said Blount: "We don't know a darned thing about the girl except that she's i-ur daugh ter. That's all we're supijscd to know, and it's all we ued to know, at that" A sudden memory moved in tbe husband's brain, and he continued with increased sternness, "And another thing don't you daro again to act like you did today at lunch. There we were a-dlning at the Waldorf with fine people, and me a-bragging alout our big ranches and our beautiful home out west And then I caught you try ing to cop a spoon, so that I had to kick you under the table." An old in stinct revived from the association of ideas, and he added petulantly, "And it was a plated one, at that!" . "What's the odds?" she demanded very spiritedly. "Ixts of iwrfevtly re spectable people take things like that at hotels just for souvenirs. Why. I know a lady that hasn't got two tow els alike in her whole house. And she's real rich too." Walter reverted to the subject of prime interest to him. "And the girl!" he insisted. He gazed at Blount eagerly. "Do you think Andrew has anything on the girl, like be has on us?" In an instant Blount had leaped close, his face furious with passion. "Andrew hasn't anything on us!" lie hissed. A flash of anger gave fleetius cour age to Walter. "Hub!" he exclaimed scornfully. "Don't try and slip anything like that over!" Andrew came in from the next room and stood directly between the two men. Then he addressed them with contemptuous coldness: "If through jealousy and bickering you fail to act your parts so that in consequence my plans miscarry, it will tount against you far more than would mere disobedience. What . was tbe cause of this row?" Blount pointed to Walter. "Ask the whelp!" "I was just kidding that's all!" "Take care, sir," Andrew said harsh ly. "One of these days my patienco will be exhausted." He waited a mo ment surveying the youth with a lash ing stare. Then, abruptly, he doffed his dominant manner and in its stead assumed tbe pose of the respected ser vitor. He bowed humbly to Walter, the nominal head of the household. "Why not show your father through the house, sir?" he suggested. At once, without any trace of embar rassment, he took the part assigned to bim. "SureT be exclaimed, boyishly aglow with rride in the new possession of this city boras. He beamed oj the bewildered Blount. ' Come on. did!" he urged boisterously. "You'll ture find thia place al to the good." .(To Be Conunued.X NEUAWKA.
