Oh, you know what I mean. I knew there was something phoney about that accident. I went to a library and hunted up the pap ers—afterward. I believed you’d taken the jump, until I came here and saw you through a win dow one night.” “Why did you come?’ she cried. “If it's money you want, there’s little enough that I can do. My husband Isn’t rich at all. Can t you have a little mercy and go away?” “You let me alone, Nancy, and I won’t bother you.

Anne stood for a mo ment staring blankly at the emp ty doorway. Back of her a curtain moved, and a pair of childlike blue eyes peeped out before It dropp ed again. A moment later she heard Cleo's voice calling her from the hall. “I tried to see Gage this morn ing, but he’d just hopped a plane for Washington.” "Oh ...

He arose and opened the door for her. “Please send the bill direct to me. In a plain envelope. I should n’t want anyone to know that I’ve been Inquiring.

Cleo was already on her way to the public library. “It probably wouldn’t be in the New York papers,” she re flected “but I’ll look here first. “M’m, May second—say the third.” A sheet crackled as she bent suddenly forward. On the page in front of her was a picture of Anne Duane. “I knew it! I was sure I had seen her somewhere! ‘Nancy Curtis, as she appeared in 'Gypsy Love’.” Her eyes flicked on the news account. “John Gage!

There must be plenty of other men. Why, the only reason that he owns the Duane Mills Is be cause the first plan failed! He’d be prejudiced from the start!” “You can bet he’s prejudiced." said Barry grimly, “and that is just the reason I've got to win him over. Gage i.s more than just money in this scheme. He’s the man who owns the other side of the spur that I must tun nel through. It’s part of what he took over in payment of my uncle’s dqbts. I don’t know why." He was silent for a moment. “He has held out now for four years. Says it’s damn nonsense. So you see, unless I can persuade him to sell pretty soon, I’d bet ter give up my large schemes.” She laughed shakily. “Oh, well, there’s time yet. Hurry In to your flannels, and we’ll be off.” “Right! I’ll be ready in ten minutes.” Anne huddled down In a chair, her hands flenching into tight little fists. John Gage again. Everywhere she turned. She must either face him or run away. “He’s building here!” she thought. “That’s why Jim is here! I must see him again—somehow.” She jumped up from her chair, listened to the sounds from th»' next room, and went lightly overj ROOFINGS^ SHINGLES STANDARD FOR OVER 60 YEARS there were no rules in the fight to get him back. Cleo pinched her lip and took a brief census of Granleigh. Gwenda adored Aniie . . . nothing doing there. The Atwoocte had taken her up, and so had the Westbrooks and Chisolms. But •Fan Whlttomore, six years older than her husband and looking It, hated every pretty girl that Ted looked at, and Ted never missed a chance to talk to Anne. Eddie Carver babbled everything she heard. There were plenty of others to catch a bright ball of rumor and toss It along. Late that afternoon Cleo park ed the blue roadster in front of the Fairfax house. Gwenda was serving tea in the garden. Ann was lovely in a yellow frock. Ted Whittemore was dawdling near her chair. His wife sat a few feet apart, dis contented, as usual. Barry was talking to Gwenda, some distance away. Anne looked up quickly. Cleo waved carelessly to Gwenda and Barry and dropped into a chair near Anne. “Hello, everybody. That’s an awfully clever frock, Nancy. Do ypu know you’re the image of somebody I saw In a play once? I knew as soon as I saw you that you reminded me of someone and It’s just cqme to me as I caught sight of you in that yellow dress The star or leading lady was sick, and they rushed this girl in. You could double for her, Nancy.” She saw Anne’s finger tips whiten against the arm of hef chair. They slowly relaxed again. “I suppose lots of people have doubles somewhere.” Fan's long eyes drifted from to her desk. . . . Her pen raced, one to the other, faintly satirical. When Barry came back, a few^“YouTe not very lucid, Cleo. If moments later, the envelope ad- the_glrl made such an impression.

I just wanted to be sure that he didn!.; remembered more about her.” “Darling, I’m not a card index. I suppose the star Sot well or something. Maybe she got the Hollywood fever.’’ She talked to Fan, but her eyes were on Anne. Anne swung her hat Idly by the brim and smiled slightly. Anne strolled away with Qwen- da, wondering whether she had really talked or just babbled In sanely. Fan looked at Cleo. “We seem to have been tact less. Do you suppose there’s any thing In It?’’ “No, of course not,’’ Cleo shrugged back. Fan looked disappointed. “But she’s awfully secretive about her self, anyway. Who were her people?” “I don’t know. She’s never mentioned them to me." “Really—” The Inflection spoke' volumes. “I thought you were so Intimate.’’ “Oh, we are. but Nancy never talks about herself or her fam ily, or any of her old friends. Maybe she was unhappy, and hates to talk about it.” Fan’s Up curled. “She must have been, to have run off to some wild desert ranch . . . The little hints that Cleo drop- oed spread like widening rip ples in a quiet pool. Two days later a tiny wave splashed at Mrs. SchuyleV Duane’s feet, in the form of careless voices on the other side of the garden hedge. “This is the Duane place, isn’t It? That girl Berry Duane mar ried is a peach. Who was she?” “Oh, don’t ask me!’’ The high titter belonged to Eddie Carver. "Somebody said she was a Hol lywood extra, but nobody seems to know.” Mrs. Duane stood there, rigid, with indignation. Mrs. Duane heard the car drive in, and Anne’s voice saying that she had a horrible headache and was going up to her room. That was Mrs. Dnane’S oppor tunity, but another car came. It was Cleo. “I hope I’m not disturbing you, but I wanted to bring this book around. It’s a lovely night for driving. It’s Kennedy’s night off, but I brought the roadster. Couldn’t we have the lights out and sit here by the windows?" (Continued Next Week) Laugh-Provoking Features in Billy Senior Combination Exhibition IF YOUR In presenting the Billy Senior Combination to the Great Wilkes Fair patrons, the association has secured an attraction above the ordinary. Funny clowns, a buck ing mule, trick dogs, comedy rid ing school and many other laugh- j provoking features are included I in the Billy Senior Combination. ] Featured In this attraction, I which Is billed as “a carload of 1 laughs.” is Capt. Billy, the hu man fish, who performs one of the most novel acts ever offered by the Great Wilkes Fair. In a specially constructed tank on a late model truck which revolves Itself in front of the grandstand, Capt. Billy eats, drinks, smokes and holds the world’s record'sub- morglng himself under water, giving an exhibition which is mystifying as well as entertain ing. The troupe of clowns, under the supervision of Billy Senior, are laugh provoking. The comedy barber shop Is a “classic in fun.” Smoky Joe, the “unridabie mule!’ snorts, and prances while the' clowns try to ride him. BREATH HAS. A SMELL YOU CAITT.
