AUSTIN, Nov. 20,—Belief was ex-
pressed in official circles today that
the American Road Company will pay
, back the state's portion of the profits
. received on highway contracts. It is
| not known whether the company will
voluntarily return th? $650,000 ask-
ed by Attorney General .Moody. That
the company wants to “deal fairly”
with the state is believed evidenced
|
I in the straight-forward testimony
given yesterday by Whitaker Brod-
nax, an official of the company.

while with the other he mopped his

Connemara observed him thought-
fully. ”1 should think men like that
would make good athletes. They
get so soaked in oil they must work
easier than most people.”
Lacy did not deign a reply. His
mind was feverishly attempting to
project itself into the future. The
further it projected the more com-
plex the situation seemed to become,
until finally the whole affair broke
off of its own weight and dropped
into the abyss of chaos. The oiler
stared at the pair for a moment and
then disappeared.

without the owners of either of
these articles being in the least
aware of their loss.
When it reappeared it gripped be-
tween an unlaundered thnmb and
forefinger a second torn bit of pa-
per. This the owner of the hand
compared with the piece which he
had taken from his pocket. Then
carefully and deliberately he placed
the twtf'torn ends together. The
jagged ends iftted like neighboring
bits of a picture puzzle.
The knuckles of Constance
Mary’s hand showed white from
the tenseness of her grip on the side
of the car. The soft material of
her mask reflected her short, sharp
breathing. The color had left La-
cy's face. He stared at the fantas-
tic stranger with the horrified glare
of one who has just witnessed the i
execution of a ghastly and foul deed.
The performer, on the other hand,
registered relief on every crimson
feature. “I’m Pooch,’’ he admitted
with a bright smile, and then added,
“Thank God ” either in gratitude for
his identity or for some unknown
and extraneous reason. Without
further introduction he climbed
through the open door of the ton-
neau and sank heavily into the back
seat. »-
Lacy glanced at Sister Connema-
ra. Her gaze was fixed on him so
iptently that his own dropped be-
fore it and he focussed his attention
on this second addition to his even-
ing’s entertainment.
“So you’re Pcoch?” he said final-
ly. not so much because he doubted
as from an uneasy feeling that the
°* conversation must be maintained.
“In the flesh.” boasted Mr. Pooch,
ine “Cast your peepers over the pass-
in ports.” L ,
ry He handed the two slips of paper
in- to Lacy. Under the hooded dash-
:en board light the man and the girl

ith On the reverie side of each half
was written “5111st” and under-
er- neath this was drawn a crude an-
ni- chor around which a snake had ap-
at parently retired for the night,
to “Here’s the rest on it,” said Mr.
• a Pooch, and bending over the front
iat seat he injected a hairy forearm in-
er- to the tiny circle of light. On the
of inner side of the limb was neatly
eft engraved a small blue anchor pas-
ree sionately embraced by a sea serpent,
at- “Guess y’ can’t object to that,”
;he said Mr. Pooch complacently,
tile Lacy looked from the two bits of

di- where a luminous glow indicated
on the unhandsome features of Mr.
