Charlie tells Loring that bis daughter is in the hands of a group of criminals called the Combine. Frank Bryan is Ranger’s private secretary. Georgs Kelsey is detained at a private sanitarium. Kow GO ON WITH THE STORY ET was disappointing' for Kelsey to find that he had only a stray sheet of a Sunday supplement two or three weeks old, entirely taken up with the disappearance of a girl called Hope Ranger and Illustrated with pictures of her reproduced from photographs, paintings and sketches. The sense of someone being near Mm rather than the perception of an actual presence roused him finally from his brown study. A girl was standing a few feet away from him, regarding him steadily, her hands clasped before her. The Involuntary smile of recognition died on his lips as he stood up. He had thought at first —a resemblance only, but to whom? Where had he seen—recently? He grasped It. One of the nurses, Miss Copely. He had talked to her the day before. But he had now a swift Impression of rrace and charm, of a distinction Which the nurse did not possess. “Good morning," he broke the silence which was becoming awkward. “For a moment I thought you were Miss Copley.” ‘Did you?" she asked vaguely. Her voice confirmed the Impression of charm. It was warm, faintly vibrating.

SHE SAT DOWN ON THE BENCH. MOTIONING HIM TO RESUME HIS SEAT. “Miss Coply is a nurse here,” he explained. “She resembles you very much. I thought she might be your lister.'* She came nearer him and sat down UPSET STOMACH, GAS, INDIGESTION Chew a few Pleasant Tablets, —Stomach Feels Fine!

on the bench, motioning him to resume his seat. “Are you a patient here, too?" Kelsey had an uncertain temper which he had taught himself to control; but at her question a flare of anger swept over his face, which slowly congealed to an icy repression. “Am Ia patient?” he had turned In his seat, and she saw that the flame still lingered in his hot blue eyes. There were white dents about the comers of his mouth; his voice was rough; the inflections were satirical. “Well, that is as you look at it. I was house physician here for a few weeks. I resigned—for reasons. My resignation was accepted, and I packed my things and prepared to leave. I needed a car to take me to the station, as it was some distance. There jW’ere polite excuses—all the cars were in use. I started tc wajk, hoping I'd get a lift on the read; the gates were locked. I attempted to throw my bags over the wall and scramble after them. Two men closed in on me. I lost my head and struck out. but they were too much for me. Our superintendent had grown so fond of me, you see. that he couldn’t bare to part. So he elevated me to the rank of patient. I am still here—for the present.” “That m^ans —you intend to get away?” she leaned nearer him to whisper. “I’m talking nonsense,” he began stiffly; but she touched him lightly on the arm. “Dr. Bristow is coming,” she murmured. “Give me a pencil quick, and wait here. I will come hack—if I can.” Wondering alike at the quick change In her manner and at the purpose of her request, he gave her the pencil, and she moved away, to stand listlessly turning it in her hands and looking vacantly before her. The superintendent of the institution came striding across the lawn toward them. As always, he was fastidiously dressed—a gray morning suit and a gray soft hat. The luster of a splendid black pearl Bhone in his mauve necktie. "Well. Miss Copley”—he stopped before the girl and spoke in the sympathetic, slightly bantering tone of a physician to a convalescent patient —"this is better than moping over rejected manuscripts, don't you think?” She still stared before her. “He gave me this pencil,” she said; “but he wouldn’t give me any paper.” She moved on droopingly toward the house. “Good morning, Kelsey.” Dr. Bristow’s voice was low. It was said that he had never been heard to raise It above that modulated pitch. To do so was unnecessary; it was sufficiently authoritative without emphasis. “You have been making friends with Miss Copley, I see.” , The remark was casual, but Kelsey divined undercurrents. “Is that her name?” he asked uninterestedly. "I thought it might be. Sisters?”

The doctor’s eyes were on him. “Yes —a sad case. Hopelesa, I fear. ■She wanted to be a writer. I have seen some of her manuscripts. Pretty bad. There was one fair story, though, of a little seamstress who fell In love with an actor's picture. He played Mercutio. That was one of your favorite parts, I believe.” “You're In one of your Inventive moods today,” Kelsey said insolently. "Have you entirely forgotten the hit you made In that part?” Bristow was now, as Kelsey expressed It to himself, baiting him for fair. "Can’t you recall the duel scene where you stagger back Into the arms of your supporters, the house still? ‘Tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but ’twill serve. A j plague o’ both your houses!’ Then the thunders of applause.” Kelsey was a little pale from his ; effort at self-control, his mouth was rigid. “Who that had ever lived through such an Inspiring experience could forget It?” he murmured with exaggerated enthusiasm. “Good!” Bristow's tone was gratified. “You are coming along nicely, my dear boy.” With a pleasant nod, he turned away and stepped back to the drive where his car was waiting. Kelsey’s face was black as he looked after him. Lost In his resentment and sense of Injury, he had forgotten the girl. It was with a start that he realized that she had come back and was seating herself beside him. “Give me some paper,” she said Imperatively. Studying her, curious to see what she would say or do next, Kelsey took a note-book from his pocket and, them to her. She began to write—words, halfwords, dots, dashes, anything. Her head was bent over the paper. Any one watching her would have thought her absorbed in her task. But, while she wrote, she talked In a rapid undertone. “You are an actor,” she said accusingly- “I overheard some of the things he said to you. Perhaps you were only acting when you spoke of him to me?” “I never was an actor,” he Interrupted harshly. "Tb,at’s Bristow’s little game. I am what I told you, George Kelsey, a physician who has specialized in mental diseases. But who are you? That’s more to the point Just now. I made <a. snap diagnosis of you, when I saw you first, as a drug-addict—your pallor, your eyes. But they don’t admit them here. Amnesia, then? That means your memory of past events is blotted out. Yet I don’t believe, for all you say, that yours is even touched.” CHAPTER VIII An attendant making his leisurely rounds paused near the rustic bench on which Kelsey and the girl were sitting, and speculatively measured the distance between them and the wall with his eyes. Kelsey recognized him as one of the men who had hindered his egress when he tossed his luggage over the gate and attempted to climb after It; and meeting that heavy, suspicious glance, lifted his brow* and drooped his mouth ttimnin-Hng- a boxed jand

weary resignation which was further borne out by his inert, lounging attitude. The attendant, remembering a painful bruise or so sustained In their brief, but animated encounter, twinkled his sm,all eyes, grinned and walked on, deriving a malicious pleasure from ignoring what he took to be Kelsey’s SOS call for relief. The girl paid no attention to either of them. Her head bent over the note-book, she covered its pages with a racing pencil apparently oblivious to everything about her. “He’s gone,” murmured Kelsey when the guard had moved out of ear-shot. “Now tell me.” "It’s all rather confusing to me," she said at last, evidently hesitating to commit herself; “why I am at this place, I mean, and the reason for keeping me here, and all. And I wpuld like to get things clear. Perhaps it would help, If you would tell me first what you are doing here?” “Very wejl,” he smiled quizzically; "elnoe you prefer It that way. But If I stop short at any time, you’ll understand that It’s because someone Is about. “I won’t' go Into my first meeting with Bristow and all that." He talked rapidly and In short sentences, moving his Ups as Uttle as possible. *T came here as an assistant physician, and Uked It. The place e splendidly run and up to and ite.

A cabinet containing specimens of birds and animals native to Henry County has been presented to tho county historical society by tho heirs of John McDowell. McDowell was a naturalist and resident of Newcastle for seventy years. On account of shortage of houses, Brazil men Interested In the growth of the city are planning a home building campaign next spring. Because he waited for his two huddles to crawl through the bars, Joe Russell, who had escaped from the Jackson County Jail, was caught. "Some people are so lazy God canvisitor was describing the theft of a lot of valuable Jewels, and consulting Bristow about the best method of disposing of them. And Bristow made no bones about giving his assistance —on a fifty-fifty basis. He laid out a whole scheme, told tie fellow Just what to do, giving the names of persons and places.” He paused, as If expecting her to question his statement. "It doesn’t surprise me a bit," she said, drawing In her breath sharply. “Bristow discovered me, of course. He ended the conversation short, end sent the man away. He never turned a hair, I’ll say that for him; he’s great In an emergency. But his eyes, they went through me Ilk* a diamond drill.” (Continued In Our Necrt Issue)
