and the hope that she was safe. For a few seconds she tried to catch her breath, aud then she hoard the buzzing sound that meant that Mrs. Sheldon and Botts

had arrived.

If she ever got out of this place she'd never enter it again, she thought, with a shudder. Suppose Mrs. Sheldon took It into her head to search the rooms. How could she ever explain her presence. Everything seemed hopelessly lost. She tried to think of excuses but her mind refused to function. She couldn’t even look about her, yet. Now she heard the door open, and then the sound of voices. Mrs. Sheldon and her detoctlve had very evidently arrived.

CHAPTER XVI

"Well!” Nita Sheldon's eyes swept the room, and then turned on Iter husband with a scornful look. She took in every possible detail of the situation, but discovered that what she bad come to

find was not visible.

‘Well?” Sheldon parried for time. "This is quite unusual, Nita.

What’s the Idea?”

“You know very well why I’m here. Wo have found out exactly what we want to know." Nita turned her back ou Sheldon aud nodded her head to Botts, who, feeling that he had made a good

apartment. Then tbo trouble would I j 0 * 3 ^’'ng was glaring bel-

little sheepishly.

"Would yon—would you mind waiting upstairs for a few moments, Gil," he pleaded. “It’s rather important.’’ Gilbert was grinning widely. “Sure, Sheldon, where?" "Up there, lit the Gold Room It’s the first door to the right." He felt uncomfortably hot. The bzzzcr sounded. "Run along, old man. and help me out of a hole.” "You're hopeless, Sheldon," Gilbert laughed, but obediently he mounted tile stairs and turned off to the room at the right that opened off a little passage. As soon as he was out of sight, Sh 1 Idon once more smoothed his hair aud straightened his tie, ami then opened the di>or. He was it by a very angry and a very worried young woman. ‘T’ve got to see you a minute," Myra began determinedly, but keeping her voice very low, us though she feared detection. "Your wife is on her way here—at this moment and with a detective. Where

is my sister?"

"O, my God!" Sheldon groaned. "How do you know?" "Don’t ask questions. 1 know. Your wife came to my office this attetnoon looking for Mr. Gilbert, Site heard Helene phono you— It-,its tapped the wire. They knownothing of who is to be here save that the woman's name is Helene, and your wife Is going to get her evidence. They’ll he here any moment. She left my office to pick up Bolts after telling me this. And 1 came here to find Helene. Now where Is she? I must—" 'lyra's frantic questioning was Interrupted by the ringing of the house phone. Sheldon and Myra stared at each other. For once they were In the same boat toy ether, for Sheldon was now frankly worried. He had overplayed his hand a bit. But he hadn't realized how serious a turn the matter was going to take. As the house phone gan to ring a second time be u-ht It up quickly and answered. i - heard the vc i at the oth' *

Sheldon and chewing

cockily on his burnt out cigar. "I can’t exactly say that 1 do know why you're here," Sheldon roturned, trying to be calm. "I wish

you'd explain.’’

"O, don’t try to fool me. You've iloiio that long enough. My eyes are quite wide open now. You have a woman in this apartment and we’re going to find her. And she needn't try to escape by the hack door, either. We’ve guarded that." Nita Sheldon’s voice carried through the apartment and •behind the closed doors along the balcony. As Myra heard It she gave a choking cry. She was thankful she had worked lu a lawyer's office long enough to know that such things were done. Suppose she had tried to escape by the back door. Then she would have been in a jam. For the present, at least, she was sate, but she decided she’d better look around for some method of escape in case they should institute a

search.

Helene, for her part, wasn’t thinking of much of anything hut how she could make her escape. She had heard Mrs. Sheldon declare that the back door was guarded, and besides she couldn’t get to the back door without going down the stairs. But not being familiar with divorce proceedings, she thought that more than likely Sheldon would manage to get rid of bis unpleasant visitors and let Iter out after a while. "That's ridiculous, my dear," Sheldon was saying. "There’s no one here. You're only allowing yourself to get all excited over nothing. Do you think I'm a fool?” "Do you think I'm a fool," Nita retorted. "I may have been, but not any longer. You say there's no one here? Well, we'll soon see. Come on, Botts." Nita started for the stairway. Upstairs Myra was searching frantically for some outlet In her room, while lleleue was running back and forth like a trapped animal, certain that there was nothing could happen hut that she should be caught. And Gilbert, for the first time, was really roused. Good heavens! What a nice predicament for him to bo In. If Mrs. Sneldon began going through the rooms, she'd find him for certain, and then he would be In for it. And he, too, began to look about for means of escape. A huge closet door looked Inviting. He tried to force it open. Ik was locked. 4T0 he continued^ .

FACTS ABOUT INDIANA RECALL EARLY COLLEGES

The first regular school *1n Indiana was located at Vincennes in 1 792. The teacher was Father Rivet, a French priest. The early schools were built like foils with port-holes through which attacking Indians might be shot. Mills, barns and pri\ates houses were later used us schools . An early tirluiol in Bartholomew County was taught by a retired dlstlllyr in a blacksmith shop. Teachers were generally adventurers from the East or England. Ireland or Scotland, who sought temporary employment while waiting for a busi-ni-ss opening. Often (hey were first* elas- men who exerted 11 good influ-

ence on the community.

When the first Constitution was

made for the

At sunset on a January Day in 1 884, raiintions on the Asbury Univei sity campus began to boom. Indiana | Asbury University was dead. In its i place stood DePauw University. This is the first authentic record we have of a day being given over to a celebration in honor of the Founder’s and Benefactor’s of the Univer-

sity.

That night there was neld in Mehurry Hall a celebration to honor the founders and benefactor's among them Washington C. DePauw, who was prseent. Irving Blown in his hastory of the DePauw states: "There were present representative men from this and neighboring states, benefactors and trustees ot the university, visitors, professors, students, citizens, non-citizens, old people and little children.” At the night meeting many ceremonies were performed. There wore addresses by Mr. DePauw, who had just endowed University and the Rev. T. A. Goodwin, the first alumnus win had graduated with the class of 1X40. Afterwards one of the ladles clubs of Greencastle served an oyster supper. Away back in the mists of the years the beginnings of Founder's and Benefactor’s Day are lost in obscurity. Ever since the founding of the University In 1832 some yearly celebration bits always been given to those who hate aided DePauw. Doctor Town says that it was the custom even before his time, to pick some day during the year, usually at commencement time, to honor those who had given time, money or gifts to the college such as books or librar

ies.

Just when the present day, February 22, was definitely set aside is not clearly known, but It is of comparatively recent date. I* was always the custom to celebrate Washington's birthday with speeches, orations and readings since the first beginnings of the institution. At that time many of the old alumni, friends and visitors came back to visit and it Is believed due to the latlei reavon the present day came to he set aside.
