' You ar? about to meet the boy

'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

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.

of Andrew's, and merely to oblige him
I've agreed to adopt a son and daugh
ter for a few weeks.
'Mrs. Dlouut spoke aggressively.
"Yes. 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."
