of thu athletic-looking, blackballed
Stranger, and swaggered a way, pre-
I loading to laugh In a carefree, light-

Bient* followed rather precipitately.
An iron-pawed, thlck-bodled inuu. with
« leg and an arm on each side of him,
rwshed from behind 'he switch-hack,
dashed Into the Mud C.,<*k gang, sin-
gled out the young umn with the ugly
scar on his mouth, grabbed him by the
back of his coat collar, and pelted him
In the ear with a fist which was crowd-
ed wilh big, rough knuckles.
A rloses ropped, full beard, topping
a abort, solid, prosperous-looking man,
'X*nic running across the grounds frhiu

Ames suddenly I'ecugnimvl ihe Iden-
tity of tlnsse round blue spots liefore
his eyes. They were the apjiealing
strife of Matzle Houston.
“And she can't rulne here any
more," he regretted.
Chap'er II.
“I'm nfrnM 1 «v«s short this after-
noon."
Jchn Ames, drinking a lonesome
after-dinner mint t.l thr bar of his
hotel, turned to find the heard be-
sido him.
“I didn't notice It." he pleasantly
A procession passed, consisting of
tli* Iron-pawed man. the conductor of
the merry-go-round, two tough waiters
and the "barker" for the fortune-teller
booth, all kicking the leader of the
Mud Creek gang towards the front
gate.
“Thank you," said the heard to John
Ames. The portion of lace which was
risible was white with anger, as he
•drew tlie arm of bla daughter through
.bis own.
*Tm glad to have been here," rs-
twrned Ames pleasantly. He felt,
rather thun saw, the absolutely round
hh*e eyea fixed on him, and It was

Having strained Itself to remember
the courtesies of tbs occasion, the
heard whirled, and had started ou a
bse-Uus for home when the Iron-
Jawed man hurried hack, a little out of
breath.
“That's a rotten shntne, Mr. Hons
ton," he abjectly apologised. "It's a
new gang, and they were never out

The keen eyes abovs the beard—
thsy wore blue, too—simply glared at
the Irot. Jawed \nan, and then went
away.

Ames looked after the retreating
board with a frown of condemnation.
“They shouldn't hava beeu hers," he
criticised.
Tbs Iron-Jawed man Inspected Ames
alewdy before he answered.
“Why not?" he growled. “This Is a
respectable place on Monday after-
asosa."
“Yoa'rs the proprietor, I taka It?"
bo guessed.
“Joe Wilks," was the answer, not
WMtingsd with a certain aggressive
claim oa respect,
“You should make this pluoe pay,”
he advised. "This town Is prosper-
ous; and it needs a good recreation!
park."
"U ysu show ms how to make it
pay, I'll cut you In on It,” gloomily
promised the proprietor. •
“It shouldn't be u difficult prob-
lem," mused Aiuea, whom u badly man-
aged bind here of any sort, distressed
Imtneaswshly, "Tbs first thing to do
ia to dean out these toughs."
Jes Wllltc looked at him Indignant-
ly.
“I want a little piece of ehunge,

otdy customers | got."
•They're the only ones you will hnve,
an long h* they are hcra," Ames

▲mea wus silent for a moment.
“Houston, you aald his name waa,
I think," be auggnsted, and again he
had that Illusion of two round, blue
spots hefow> hla eyes.
“Peter O. Houston," responded Joe
Wltk«. with a sigh. "11s has the grand-

"I wa« too niad to he decent," Peter
G. Houston went in.
"You were quit »• Justified," anld
Ames. “Will you Join me?"
“No. thanks," responded Houston. “I
Juat hapiwicil to so*- you here, uml
rem.-nibered that I rniet you an apol-
ogy."
“You have an unusually tender con-
science," laiipl isl Aires. "I had a talk
wilh the proprietor out there, after
you left He's not such u bed fellow."
"Any failure Is a Imd follow," (lo-
ci a rc<l Houston, "i'll never go uanr
Wilks park again."
"That's whst Wilks predicted,” re-
turned Ames, with n musing smile.
"He seemed more worried by the fact
that your daughter would miss her
weekly pleasure than by flic loss of
your patronage.”
Houston's eyes, which were blue,
softened.
“He always made a fuss over my
girl.” he acknowledged, and then he
smiled whimsically. ”T don't know
what I shall do nmv. The only thing
I can see to do Is to httlhi a morr.v-go-
ronnd and s roller roaster on mv hack
lot."
“It wouldn’t be unite the same,"
Ames reminded him. "Why don't you
help Wilks. Instead, to turn his park
Into s decent |>l»;<v. The town needs
It."
’"There are other things.” acknowl-
edged Houston, with a reminiscent
stulle. "I think I'd win the enthuslss-
tlc applause of m> daughter. If I were
to Invest a few thousands In that piece,
and were able to pick Its patronage by
Invitation.”
Ames looked over Into the glitter-
ing glassware.
“There Is always at least one prac-
tical way to do anything you want.
The only problem is find the right
mun.”
"You talk like the right man."
chuckled Houston, “fan't we Induce
you to rejuvenate Wilks park?"
"I'm afraid not.” ami led Ames, a
certain wistfulness coming Into his
eyes. “It Isn't that the business
doesn't attract me, because I have
dabbled In all of them more or leas;
but I haven’t seen anything In the
town, aa yet, which made me care to
stay here.”
"Lord, how free and footloose you
sound I" envied Houston. *T>o yon
mean to say that you go Into business,
any old kind at all, only s hen you
happen to like the town you're Inf
"That's about It," mused A me*.
“Then stay here long enough to give
us a good amusement park," urged
Houston, half In Jest and half In
narnest. “Show me a convincing plan,
and I'll bark you, If you need back-
ing."
“I certainly would need hacking,"
Ames told him. "I never experiment
with nt,r gwn tponey. However. I don't
see any place In tills proposition even
for your funds. Ths park alone would
not yield frenzied finance profits."
