and that later Henry had been
found out and himself boss dis-

NOW GO ON WITH STORY
"I worked a long while and I waa

have been a real accomplishment,
too—when, without appsurent cause,
th* gang took warning, scattered,
tbs whole thing blew up Months of
work for nothing! I had made

“Too mean to accuse Henry of—
of. treachery of that sort?" Swope
inquired.
"I do. And that's not atL Out of
a clear sky charges were preferred
against me. Outrageous charges in
which that woman figured.*' Up to
this point Gray had spoken smooth-
ly. rapidly, but now his tone
changed, his words became hesitant,
jerky. “I was amused! Joke. I called
It at flrst. Sort of a blanket Indict-
ment, It was. charging me with In-
efficiency. negligence, exceeding my
authority, dishonesty—and things
oven worse. Those were some of

couldn't believe the charges would

“Well, there was an Investigation.

a good deal: 1 think I'd have itxona-
rated myself on every count only
for the women—that one 1 spoke
about. Sre turned the trick. I'waa

“At least Henry ptnyod fair In
this; he didn't betray your secret.

"I don’t see that it makes much

CHAPTER XXIX
Age Bows to Youth
/~VNE morning, several days after
the annual meeting, Gus Brie
kow opened the door between
his snd Gray's office and inquired,
Busy?"
The new Vic* president of the Se-
curity National raised s preoccupied
face to the new president and eald:
“I'm never too busy to talk to you.
What to Itr
No chance of Bell Nelson throw-
in’ us out, is there? He's In Dallas
tryin' to stir up money—"
Not a chance, unless' you want
film to do so; unless you're afraid
we'll makt a failure of tho business."
'We?** Ous smiled quhadcally.
“You won't tsO. Folks around town
are talkin' about how quick you're
takln' hold, an', they're beginning to
think you’ll make a better banker
than th* Nelsons. Looks Ilka Bell
an' Henry are about the only ones
that take it hard.” i
“Th* funny thing to”—Gray
frowned, perplexedly—"they don't
take It hard. At least, Henry doesn’t
appear to do so. That's what pussies
me. No move of any sort— That's
not liko him."
Gus agreed to this. "1 been ex-
pectin' him to cut somo capers.
That's why 1 bean hansln* around
so steady."
Th* younger man rote and nerv-
ously paced th* floor. .
•Td go beck and start all over
again If 1 could clean up that—that
army record. It’s a pretty flat tri-
umph."
"Huroflh! Moat triumphs to. Hare
1 am. president of a whole bank,
but Ms’s rick, Allle’s miserable, an'
I cant sleep nights for fear in toss
what I got!"
Gray emiled affectionately at the
speaker. “At least Buddy Is happy.
He’s reaping hit dividends, if I’m
any Judge.”
“I Agger be’e in love again.**
“Good heavens!” Gray paused In
hia restless pacing and turned an
expression of almost comic dread
upon the father. “With that wo-
man, eh? Well, I refuse to Inter-
fere again. I haven't fully recovered
from his flrst Infatuation for her."
“I can tell the boy's symptom*: I
felt the same way when I was court-
in' Ma. I acted Just like hlm.T*
"He has been trying to tall me
something for a week, but I'va been
too busy and too worried to listen."
There came a rap at the door, snd
the accountant whom Gray had put
to work upon tbe bank’s books en-
tered. "I'd like to talk to you about
this report."- the man began.
Don't go," Gray eald. os Brlskow
unfolded his legs and rose.
But the president of the Security
National shook his head, saying:
Dookkeepln’ la all Choctaw to ms.
I saw one statement an' I thought
‘liquid assets' meant that bottle of
whisky Bril left In hto desk." .j
Mr. Gray," tho auditor an-
nounced. when they were alone, "1
wish you’d aek somebody else to
take this Job off my hands”
“Why?"
"Well, somebody Ajse could prob-
ably do It better.” There was s
pause. "I've known Bell Nelson all
my life—"
"That to why I engaged you.
You've been over these books be-
fore." Again there was an Instant
of silence, then into Gray’* face
there flashed a curious aici tkSSfi,
"Comer be cried, sharply. "What Is
it?"
“I'm sorry to he the one to—” Tbe
auditor shruggid. "If you Insist on
an explanation, I suppose 1 shall
have to tell you: Perhaps it’s Just
as well, anyhow. They say figures
don’t lie, but you and 1 know better.
I only wish they didn't."
Have you caught them lying,
here?”
"I have. And—it has made me
rather III. You'd better prepare
yourself for a shock.” ,
It was nearly an hour later that
Gray telephoned to Senator Lowe,
the bank's attorney, and to Bennett
Swope, tbe latter being the only
member of the board available at
short notice. This done, he wrote a
note to Henry Nelson. In spite of hit
effort to control hia hand, it shook
when he signed his name, and on
second thought he destroyed the mis-
sive. There la something ominous
about the written word. If .Nelson
grew euepicloua. he'd never rams
Gray stepped Into Qua Brlskow’*
office and asked him to call the for-
mer vice president, first, however,
explaining exactly what be wished
Gus to aay. Tho ruse succeeded:
then Gray' returned to hia own
office. Ho drew a deep breath. With-
in him he felt s ferocious eagerness

Chief, Actor, Producer,

HOUSTON, Tex., Oct. 20,—Actor,

all in one.
Everett S. Legarde. chief of the
j fire department of Park Place, a
surburb, wears this unique title.
The combination Is a very prac-
tical one for the ohief hag raised
money to equip his department
through producing shows. When
the departments needs new hose,
the truck new tires—Legarde mere-
ly stages a show.
Legarde took charge of tho de-
partment in 1922 when there was
no apparatus pt all. He produced
a few amateur benefits and ‘‘pro-
moted” a fire truck and equipment,
including a sixty gallon chemical
tank.
Legarde began hts theatrical ac-
tivities in 190!) when ho took a
small part in an amateur produc-
tion. Since then he has played in
nearly every amateur production
In Houston and in numerous pro-
fessional companies that have
played here. Last week he took a
part in the oil field comedy “Hot
Air” produced by a professional
stock comedy. He carries a card in
the Actors Equity association—the
stage "union.”
‘Td rather act than oat” he
says, “Yes, I'd rather act thaa put
out a fire.”
And they say he's a better fire
chief for being an actor.
