When I . remembered again. John u sitting at my desk with the glit tering mass spread out before him. Every one had crowded around him, except Hap. who wag kneeling beside the couch, holding my hand . deeper-, ately and listening for the sound of the doctor's car. I remember that it hazily occurred to me how beautifully the lavender brocade dressing-gown John wore and the soft pink of Jo's kimono harmonized and lavender and pink usually don't ' "Where did you get them, Loulle r Jo asked.' "What happened, dear?" My head was bussing; fyere was a ; pounding1 In my ears. Her questions seemed to make ; a Jumble of my thoughts. 1 C , "Why, of course, I must tell you.H I tried to think clearly. "I I found them found them In the card-room." "Yes. dear," Jo soothed. "What were you doing In the card-roomr ) "I heard a noise in the gallery and wanted to see see I I found them found them In the card-room." ' Fvrvbody looked so queer! Na talie glanced quickly at Mrs. Hazard a glance Laura Intercepted. I sat up suddenly. ) "Surely you don't think1 I took them!" I fell back against the pil lows again with a groan, but It was because . little unseen devils .tortured me when I moved. "She must not talk," Laura ex claimed. "Dont question her. ; It Isn't fair. " She doesn't know what she Is saying. For Heaven's sake, wny doesn't the doctor come?" ' Jo sat down bealde me helplessly. There was nothing, anybody could do until the doctor did come. " , "I think there's loot here from ev erybody," John remarked. "It's a Jolly , mess." . " From the mess he separated Dor othy Amberoromble's green lizard with the ruby eyes, Mrs. Abercrom ble's moonstone set with sixteen large 'diamonds, and that crazy bow knot collar of Mrs. Sargent's. Then Natalie pointed out other things she recognized. But there was left a Jum Tle of solitaires, handsome but non descript; rings and pendants, brace lets and brooches that only their own ers could Identify. '.', "Everybody ; but:., myself,"; Natalie said Anally. Tbere'sv not a single thing there of mine." ';Si '"-r' a....hA tfr mmamaA in ma them .. oviuauw " fc . ' : ought to have been in the bag those things she lost earlier. "You had a pistol," I said weakly, thinking of it. , "Tea, but no one knew it but you!" said. Natalie. And if good, clear thought had come to me out of my throbbing bead I would have- seen what everybody saw later. ; ;' The thieves were in the gallery," I tried to tell them. "I heard I heard a hammer fall. . 1 went to see" sud denly I thought of Winthrop. and I closed my Hps tightly for fear 4 would say I had seen him there on the lawn. .: " . ' ' "Yes, dear." Laura soothed. "Well 1 look The thieve are gone now, but we have the Jewels, so It's all tight '''' ' ' ' ' Illustrations Y.L.EARNIS No barm done. John will bold a levee after luncheon and return them," I suppose It occurred to John what a Job that waa going to be, especially as he was apt to have a crowd of hys terical women on his hands any min ute. He tumbled the Jewels back into the bag as Doctor Graham's horn rent the air, and was Just about to pull the string securing them., "Well, I'll be damned!" he exclaim ed. "This is my bag!" , CHAPTER XXIII. A Disappearance. Dawn found me lying on the couch in my sitting-room, pale and a little sick from the ether, with my right arm nicely boarded up and a bruise on my shoulder about as big as a turkey platter. Doctor Graham, after mixing me some vile stuff doctors are brutes about medicine cheerfully turned to discuss art with Jo, apropos of the search of the gallery for any signs of disturbance. Nothing' unusual was found anywhere, except the door at the bottom of the steps leading to the tennis courts was open, and a hammer that was proved did not belong to any one connected with Lone Oak was ly ing on one of the courts. The thieves had made good their escape during the commotion . that followed . my plunge down the steps into the wing, When I awoke from the sleep the doctor prescribed It was noon. The room was fragrant , with flowers and there was a huge bunch of pink roses that I knew had not been cut at Lone Oak. Laura was with me, and Celle tearfully hovered In the background. Celle brought my breakfast and Laura explained that Jo had gone, reluctant ly, to play golf with John Crownln shield, who decided not to go to town. "There's a nurse coming,", she con cluded. "Nurse!". 1 exclaimed. "What do I want with a nurse? I'm going, down stairs tonight if I can get a sleeve over this arm." To prove I could get up, I did, but I was rather trembly. "Loulle, it was too funny about that silk stocking and the hot-water bot tle," Laura laughed gleefully. "Has everybody discovered the rob bery r. I asked- .,-.. "They, were up shrieking before ten," she told me. "John had an aw ful time getting things straight. There are ten solitaires still in doubt think Dorothy and Mrs. Sargent will have to toss for them. Funny, isn't It, people don't know , their own Jewels?" "Did any one else hear the racket we made last night?" . , "No," she replied. "No wonder they were robbed. Mrs. Cutler thinks there must have been an attempt to chloro form her. There was no cloth or any thing that has been saturated, but the odor of chloroform was in her room Thank Heaven, there's no way to im plicate Wlnthrop in this." Wlnthrop! I closed my lips tightly "Has Everybody Discovered the Rob bery? I Asked. again. -. No. one but I knew he Bad been there oA the lawn; no one but myself was going to know it But Thomas! ' The thought startled me! He knew it. But ; Laura finally broke the silence with one of her startling questions: "Loulle, are you going to marry Hap?" . , - , , -. I shook my head decidedly." "Why not? ; Won't you tell me? Have you a reason, dear?" . - . "Yes.. ' l! j'-y She paled a little, I didn't know why at the time. v "Won't you confide in me?" she pleaded. - "And let me help you? I can help you, no matter how difficult It Is" . She was very winning and sweet I intended to tell her Jokingly my rea son was that her mother really had Intended me aa a pace-maker. for her. and that I'd have to- be free to en courage the eligible, until she waa quite .Bare-Just who she wanted , to marry but I was weak, and the tears i were very, near the surface. Two brimmed over and rolled down my cheek. I couldn't Joke! "You love him don't try to deny It. Why are you giving him up?" "I can't let him spoil his lite with me," waa what, I said, after all. "I couldn't snnll vour chances with His Grace if you decide to want him. His Grace would be terribly shocked" "I don't want htm," she Interrupted. "I love Wlnthrop and I'm going to marry him If he ever asks me." "But I am nobody," I Insisted. "I haven't a penny. Marriage marriage Is Impossible!" She looked at me In amazement "Is that your only reason?" she asked.'' .' "Surely" ' ' , "Is that all? Oh, my poor, deluded little Loulle! ' What difference does a few paltry dollars make? I'm so glad that'a the reason, dear; so very, very glad." She came close to me and slipped her arm around my waist "Dear, if you had told me something terrible, some awful thing that was keeping you from saying yes' to Hap, I would have loved, you Just the same. Remember that." It waa ' a shameless statement. I wondar t did not see Its significance at the time, but I only realized that hit' affection waa one .of the most wonderful things that had ever hap pened to me. "You're a queer person," I told her. "Now, won't you let me say to Hap that be may come up after luncheon?" She tried to keep me from shaking my head. "I'm afraid he will come, even If you don't say so. I've had a terrible time keeping him out wnue you slept He went to town for the roses" she pointed to them "and waa hack in an hour. I don't know how he escaped being arrested for Deadlnr. Bv the way. the detective is here. He wanta to ask you some ' 1, u questions wnen you are wen euumu to see him. We've had an exciting morning being questioned. He's rather a nice-looking chap. I think Natalie found her interview with him much mora ftrrennhln than she expected. His eyes are blue,"' she finished Irrele vantly. "Haa h talked to Mr. Abbott?" "Ya. He and John by the way, his numn is Adams went over to winthrnn'i this morning. Wlnthrop came back with them; he came to play golf. He waa unusually cheerful, too. He has finished his novel, i don't think he cares how many em arnM bracelets he la aCCUBed Of Steal' ing, since that Is over. And I'm for rnttlnar to tell you that Mrs. Dykeman has dug up a German count. I don't know how he ranks. He's a connois seur on art, or some kind of a hlgh- hrnw Khe'g riving a German must Mia nAYt week. Ich dien! Oh! We had a massage from the Schuylers The general Is entirely out of dan ger." I lay on the couch for a long time thinking after Laura had gone, ana piIa had arranged my hair ana ten dartv' s-nttan me Into a negligee. I tried tried desperately to see a wtr out of all the robberies for Win throp and I could not do It. Except for the ruby, when Laura had proved that he was at home, and tne woman in thn corridor, every circumstance pointed to him. What did he actually know of it all? Was he shielding some one?. A woman? But that thought waa ugly. I had rather be lieve him a thief! Y The door of my sitting-room, lead ing, into the-corridor, was , standing open, for the day was intensely hot, and I caught the , sound of Hap's vnioa Ha was talking to his mother. I listened, not deliberately to ; what he said, but Just to hear his voice; and because there waa no one to see, t arose and burled my face..; In the roses his roses. It was wrong to listen: I knew it. I " could not fall tn hoar what he said. At first the full meaning of his words did not strike me, nor even the tone of the argument I -. was thinkine of other things. Then he spoke ; my name. He was angry; I listened, amazed. "I don't care If she Is a thief," he said, "I want her, and I'm going to have her. I'd marry her If she is proved a thief a thousand times. ' And I wouldn't believe her a tnier u l saw her stealing!" t His mother's answer I didn't want to hear: an Instant later I Btood in the doorway , across the corridor. "Don't betyeve him," 'I said to his mother. "He Isn't going to marry me." : 0 ' V:.-.. ,:;;'v ''-.i ;.. -'C:V" Han: with an exclamation of con cern, threw some pillows into a chair and indicated an intention to ,carry me to it." . ' "I'm not an invalid," I Insisted. And I walked to the chair. "I've Just a silly broken arm, otherwise I am mitte fit. Now. tell me why am I a thief again?" I was quite calm about It but I had to sit down, for my knees .were shaky and I was realizing why Laura had said such queer things to me. - Han made some choky noises like men do when they want to awear; Mrs. Hazard pressed her handkerchief to her Hps. "Just because I found some Jewels in the card room, and can't tell you who put , them there, or why they wa there?" : The whole . thing' sud denly struck me as absurd and amus ing. I laughed. "My story isn't plaua. Ible?"- '." O '-: Mrs. Hazard began to cry what a blessing tears are to a woman and It ' was ao different from her dear chuckle I could not resist the Impulse to go to her and put my only good arm around her fat neck. "Please don't cry"! begged. "I can't -e that j It s .worth one . little tear. I'm not going to let him marry me, be sure of that; and the other only concerns myself." "My dear child," ; she sobbed, "I feel responsible for everything. I told your lister I would take care of you." ' "You. distinctly said you would not be responsible for any lacerated af fections, and you certainly can't help It If I'm a thief. I tried to get him on the right track, but" "Right track!" she sobbed. : "Right track?" Hap echoed. " And, notwithstanding the gravity of the situation and the tears running down her fat cheeks, Mrs. Hazard chuckled. 8be dabbed at her eyea. "I said,' too, you might pick a plum from the social pudding, and I bad no objection. If the plum happens to be ray own son it's my own fault" ""What are you two talking about?" Hap demanded. "I love her, and I'm going to marry her whether she's a thief or not." "All right, take her," Mrs. Hazard replied, giving me a gentle push, and Hap gazed at her with that comically surprised expression. "Just be sure to pour the coffee for him every morn ing at breakfast, my very dear little girl, and you have my blessing. It Just occurs to me that I've never yet made a mistake In estimating a per son, and I'm not going to begin now." "But gracious me!" I exclaimed, as Hap swept me to my feet and shame lessly kissed me, "I'm accused of stealing!" "We'll have to prove you Innocent!" Her tone was final. "I must have my Judgment vindicated." "But" "The bag was my brother's," she jp'lill'r jy i "Don't Believe Him. He Isn't Going to Marry Me." interrupted belligerently. "It occurs to me that he needs to do some ex plaining." "Surely you don't think ?" "1 don't think anything, after the fool Tve Just made of myself trying to. We have a detective here now to do the thinking. If he thinks wrong, I'll discharge him. Why Isn't your story true? You heard a noise In the gallery; you're a brave girl and you went to see what It was. I would have been crazy with curiosity myself. If you don't know why a thief put down a bag of Jewels on the floor of the card-room and left it there for you to find, why you can't help it. Natalie having a pistol and you knowing it la Just a coinci dence. The thieves didn't get to her, that's all. The door of the back stairs was open and a hammer was dropped on the court where a hammer doesn't belong. It's quite plain that the thieves came from outside, since I've had the common sense to think of It" But I saw how unreasonable my story was as she repeated It The absurdity of my being In the card room when I had said the noise was In the gallery, the absolutely ridicu lous Idea that a thief had put down a bag of loot on the floor of. the card room for me to pick up, and yet that's what he did It was all a child's story, "And I couldn't speak of Wln throp, nor of Thomas without men tlonlng Wlnthrop, and Wlnthrop had enough to do to explain the emerald bracelet .w "There won't be any further trou ble," she went on. "Every Jewel has been taken to a bank until somebody has been proven, guilty. Now let the detective solve it. And he may Just as well prove ' Wlnthrop innocent nihil a W hi it WlnthroD is a farm er, not a thief." She dismissed the subject with an airy motion of her fat hand. "Since you've got Hap on the right track " "What's this right 1 track thing?" Hap demanded. ' "A scheme, t a put-up Job, to make von' notice me." I replied. "But I had to do It; it was a part of my Job " I suddenly covered my face with my hands. . ' ;'.''.''::'- V."' vj;:";:' '- ' "t euess you're satisfied then." Hap grinned. . "And now you refuse to marry me after deliberately" ' "You surely don't believe I Intend ed1 I cried. "I don't know What you Intended, but I know what's going to be." Hap put his arm about me In that master ful Hazard way.: v ; ' Tha Hazarda are a stubborn lot. and when they want a thing they get it. Whan I went back to my room. carefully shutting the door in Hap's face, the mystery was still a mystery. T rnuldn't aea but that I had a badly damaged reputation, and I had prom ised Hap, witn nta motners consent, to let him share It That night the mystery. Instead of clearing, deepened. Jo disappeared! And not only mat, dui gne naa been taken awhy forcibly abducted! Adams, the detective who was there to motect us, - was found bound and i gagged at the foot of the stairs lead ing to the tennis courts. t CHAPTER XXIV. The Search. We knew Jo had been taken away by force because a woman does not of ber own free will, go out dressed only . In a silk petticoat, a flimsy dressing-gown, and a pair of thin bed room slippers, even If the weather Is warm. Adams, the detective, whom John found tied up hard and fast, told us the little he knew of what had happened, when he could talk poor fellow! And although I tried not to get shrleky and faint, I threw myself across the pillow where Jo's dear old dark head had rested, and came very near doing both. I tried to tell my self that she was all right, that we should find her soon, alive! I didn't .believe it. I could only see that who ever took her away did so for a pur pose, that they would kill her, or per haps bad! ' It waa the culmination of an awful day. After what I had gone through morning and afternoon, I could not go down to dinner. The doctor said "No," with that capital N, and I hated him. And I was exasperated with Jo, who, after playing golf with John all morning, played golf with blm all afternoon or said she did and sat Outside on the terrace all evening, also with John, where, the sound of their voices floated up to me, punctu ated occasionally with laughter from both of them. He never In his Ufa did such a thing as sit on the iter race all evening with a woman! 1 could not catch a word of what they were saying. I was sure he was mak ing love to her. I could not complain of being neglected, for, the doctor had ordered Jo down-stairs and told me to go to sleep,' adding that my temperature was up and my heart queer. Celle put me to bed, but when Jo came finally I was sitting up, crying softly and scratching the palm of my hand. Poor old' Jo! She patted me to sleep, but It was a restless, fitful sleep, and at two o'clock I changed to the couch in the sitting-room because I Imagined the salty breeze' that came In through the open windows would soothe me. I must have slept sound ly after that. I did not hear Jo when she awoke; I did not know what had become of her. When I could compose my thoughts I remembered to search for the pistol which Natalie had returned the day before. It was gone, but I could gain no satisfaction from that because, evi dently, Jo had not used the pistol and the reason of that was quite clear to me: they had disarmed her. Adams said there were three men. He had heard sounds but couldn't locate them until he came Into the upper hallway, when he heard the door at the foot of the stalra leading to the tennis courts slam. He had a flashlight and he said he wasnt many seconds getting to the bottom of those stairs. When he opened the door some one struck him a terrific blow on the head, and when he re gained consciousness he was bound securely, hand and foot, and gagged. He had not recognized any of the men It was still dark nor were theli voices familiar to him. They had gone toward the ninth hole and they were carrying some one. He know that the person was a woman. That was all. What had happened before he heard the sounds he didn't know. His wrists were bad ly cut and bleeding where he had struggled to release himself; he had dragged himself to the door and banged on It, but no one had heard him. (TO BE CONTINUED.) The Whale'e 8ong. Whales are rarely thought of as vo calists, yet "according to Miss A. D. Cameron In "The New fNorth," they really have a distinctive song of their own. . A certain Captain Kelly was the first to notice that whales Bing. 0ns Sunday, while officers from three whal ing ships were "gamming" over their afternoon walrus meat, Kelly started up with "I hear a bowhead!" There waa much chaffing about "Kelly's band," but Kelly, weighed anchor, and went to find the band-wagon. Every sail followed his, with the result that three whales were bagged. Among bo wheads, this singsong Is a call that the leader of the school, ai he forces a passage through Bering sea, makes In order to notify those that follow that the straits are clear of Ice.'-' .,;.'-:r' Walruses and seals and all true mam mals that have lunga and live In the water have a bark that sounds strangs enough as It comes up from hidden depths. Every lookout from the mast head notices that, when one whale ii struck, the whole school is "gallled" or stampeded at the very Impact ol the harpoon; they have heard ths death song. , i The sound that the bowhead makes is like the long-drawn-out "hoo-hoo-oo-oo !" of the hoot-owl. A Whaler says that the cry begins on F, and may rise to A, B, or even C before slipping back to F again. He assures us mat with the humpback the tone Is much finer, and sounds across the water like the note from the E string of a violin.- . Her Mission. "Girl scouts must learn how to wash a baby, bake a loaf of bread, build a coal fire and darn a sock, to say noth ing of being able to find their way about in woods and cure snake bites," said the parent '"Don't you want to become a girl scout dear?" "No, mamma," replied the young girl: "I wont need to know how to do those things when I grow up.

TO HAVE FARM LIFE MEETING Experts on Agricultural Toplca From All Over the Country Will Be Brought to North Carolina For the Big Conference Next Year. Charlotte. Interest in the Farm Life Conference which will be held in Charlotte May 22 and 23 of the coming year Is increasing, according to reports being received by the sec retary of the Greater Charlotte Club who suggested the conference. Presi dent Clarence H. Poe of the North Carolina Press Association has writ ten that he Is in sympathy with the movement that he will take pleas ure in assisting in arranging the de tails for the conference and that he will gladly speak during the meeting. A number of government officials have written that they approve the idea and the secretary of agriculture for the United States Is of the opin ion that the conference will be well worth while If speakers who are welt versed In the matters they are to discuss are secured. Ma. W. A. Gra ham state secretary of agriculture, is etvthualastJe over the conference and looks to see much good result. In this connection, the secretary o(, the Greater Charlotte' Club has gath ered considerable data relative to tho amount of food products imported into North Carolina during the past year and It reaches the almost unbe lievable sum of more than $50,000, 000. it is hard to believe that more than $15,000,000 worth of hay was brought into the atate of North Caro lina last year from other sections. And this must be considered In con nection with the broad acres of North Carolina land which is adapted to the growing of hay1 which excels that of any other section. But when the statement that more than $4,000,000 worth of vegetables were Imported into North Carolina wtthin the same length of time it is seen that the necessity for a Farm Life Conference is greater than has been realized. "And It is here," says the secretary of the club, "that it is hoped that some of the good results will be secured. A great manay vege tables are grown in this state that are not properly used. : Two Days For Highway Building. Raleigh The North Carolina Good Roads Association, In session here, unanimously adopted a resolution calling on Governor Craig to set apart ' two days in November to be devoted to the building and Improve ment of highways by the people of the State. Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, secretary, said that he had already talked to the governor about the mat ter and that the governor had indi cated his readiness to Issue such a proclamation. The association went on record for a state highway asso ciation to he created at the extra session of the general assembly, fa vored bond issues for road building In counties instead of special tax. . North Carolina New Enterprises. Raledgh. A charter was Issued for che Keystone Paper Box Company, Burlington, capital $50,000 authorized aand $3,000 subscribed by E. P. Bacon of Polk county and J. H. Clapps and J. W. Murray of Burlington for a general paper box manufacturing busi ness. The Jackson Mills Company, Monroe, chartered September 17, for a general cotton-manufacturing busi ness and including silk, wool, hemp and otlher fabrics, filed an amendment to its charter increasing the capital. Nance Declared Insane. Rockingham. The case of the State igalnst George . S. Nance, confessed slayer of his wife 'n the Seaboard Hotel at Hamlet last month, was tem porarily ended at Rockingham recent ly after an all-day inquisition of the accused by expert alienists for the prosecution and the defense who de clared him insane. Davie and Davidson Are Lucky Ones. Raleigh. Da vie county and David son county are the lucky ones. They get a part of Che government money for building good roads. 710,000 or perhaps $20,000 to Davie, and $10,000 to Davidson. And there is a reason assigned for apportioning $20,000 or $30,000 of the $40,000 to these two counties, though each is a different reason. To one the money goes be cause of what a county has done, to the other because of what men have dime to have a county put money in ' good roads. ' I Successful Raid on Still. ' Newbern One of the most success ful r&Ws ever made in this section by revenue officers took place when Dep uty Collector Cameron and Deputy: Marshal Lilly confiscated and de stroyed near Stella, Carteret county, an 85-gaIlon still and a quanlty of whiskey and captured Daniel Hill, colored, the alleged owner and opera tor of the still. This raid is the first made in this section in jieverai months but it waa a complete suo sees and the revenue men are very uch gratified with the results. ; ,
