BEGIN HERE TODAY Loring Raarer offers 3 hundred thousand dollars for tne safe return of his missing daughter. Hope. He is assisted in his seirch by his good friends. Eustice Higby. attorney, and Juarez Charlie, adventurer. Acting upon directions from Hope's captors. Ranger leaves a hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds at a specified place. Charlie stations himself near the place mentioned in the letter to Ranger and follows the car that collects the bonds. At Dr. Bristow's private sanitarium a plot exists between Bristow and a nurse named Copley regarding an inmate registered as Nurse Cooley s sister. George Kelsey, detained at the hospital. is friendly with the so-called sister. He decides that the girl is not insane. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY H | E knew the girl was acting, but the way she held her pose, t__J never relaxing for a moment into the normal, roused him to wonder and admiration for her courage and strength of will, and the pathos of that courage stirred his heart. Revolving the riddle as he mused on the porch In the sunshine, his glance strayed from under his down drawn hat brim to where she sat, the ever present elder sister knitting beside her. How alike the two were, and yet how different. Anita, beautiful In & way, but to him repellant—% woman pursuing the course of her perverse, unscrupulous will. Verna breathed a different air. About her was the atmosphere of one reared in ease and freedom and bauty. She had all the simplicity of good breeding; Anita’s veneer was specious.

HE STOPPED AT THE HEAD OF THE STEPS TO SPEAK TO ANITA COPLEY. While he pursued the puzzle, never getting any nearer to a solution, a Mg. luxurious limousine turned in at the gates and drew up before the entrance. A ponderous, bent old man emerged, carefully assisted by his valet. Someone important it was without a doubt; for Bristow' came down the steps to meet him with jovial camaraderie. There was an amount of luggage which was hastily unloaded and carried upstairs. The new arrival gave some directions to his valet and his chauffeur, and then preceded Bristow into the house, as if perfectly familiar with the place. He stopped at the head of the - steps, though, to speak to Anita Copley, who had hurried forward with smiling, almost sycophantic deference, and Kelsey got a fair view of him. “So Alderman Higgins has come back,” Kelsey heard the comment of someone behind him. “Wonderful how he holds on.” Miss Copley had followed the old man and Bristow into the house, and with her presence removed, he looked about for the girl. She had risen from her chair, and was standing at the far end of the porch. Avoiding an appearance of haste, he moved down the porch and paused near her, leaning on while he lighted a cigarette. "Who is the old man that just came?” she asked. He wondered a

little at the note of urgency in her voice over so immaterial a matter. “Alderman Higgins, I heard some one say,” he told her. “That Is all I know.” She drew in her breath quickly as he mentioned the name. It seemed to confirm a conjecture on her part and carry considerable significance. “Find out all you can about him," she bade hurriedly, "and let me know.” "I will,” said Kelsey. "But why?” "Don’t stop to talk now. We haven’t time. She will be right back." With her usual languid, uncertain step, she moved away toward her chair; and Kelsey returned to the ether end of the porch, perplexed to understand the meaning of her request, yet rejoicing that she should have called upon him for a service. CHAPTER XII The house physician, when Kelsey dropped into his office that evening, happened to be in a voluble mood. A medical journal lay upon his desk in which he had just been reading an article that controverted one of his pat theories; aid he seized upon the opportunity to refute the fallacy, citing authorities and giving his. reasons a’ length, while he puffed Indignantly at his old, black pipe. Kelsey was pleased to find that he could genuinely concur in the little man’s views; and by his advice and with his assistance a letter was composed to the publication, which they were convinced left the offending author not a leg to stand on. So delighted was Morton with the vigor of the rejoinder ana so grateful, that he expanded Into unaccustomed warmth; and Kelsey took quick ; advantage of the propitious moment to strike. "By the way,” indifferently, '*who j was the old rooster that arrived this morning in such state?” Morton looked at him in surprise. "Why, you know. Or, sure enough; you didn’t come here until after he'd left for Bermuda. That, my son, is ex-Alderman William Higglnp. Mean to say you never hearß of 'Hobo Bill'? Well,” as Kelsey shook his head, “a half dozen years ago he used to be a power in New York; about the same type, I guess, as some of your picturesquely named politicians out in Chicago. He started out in life as a tramp, they say; but , somehow he managed to edge into j politics, and cleaned up big; worth anywhere- from seven to ten millions, I guess. He stays here' when he’s not off on one of his periodical trips. Funny old codger.” "I should say so.” Kelsey agreed. "It’s the first time I ever heard of a man voluntarily making an insane ] asylum his headquarters.” "Oh, he’s no bug. Half blind, pretty i well brown down physically, but mentally keen enough: shrewd, devilish shrewd, let me tell you. And as to his being here, why, he had some nervous affection, you see, used to go on fierce sprees and all that, and Bristow got him into shape. They’re like brothers.” "So?” Kelsey was mildly interested. "I saw the two of them out together this aftemon in Bristow’s new RollsRoyce.” Morton filled his pipe and looked over It at Kelsey with a humorous, contemplative smile and a wag of his head. "Yes; some car. I’ve seen the days when Bristow had to hoof It all the way to the station, if he wanted to get into town.” "Times have changed, eh?” Kelsey was stretched out in his chair. “Not always so prosperous?” "Not always.” Morton's reminiscent smile still lingered. “When I first came here, seven years aeo, things were so far from prosperous, that we never know from one week to another whether we could keep going or not. Then, all of a sudden, we were on easy street. Bristow began putting ail sorts of improvements on the place, buying more land, throwing out new wings, lnßtallingTnqdern appliances, refurnishing, redecorating, splurging on cars, turning himself out like the lilies of the field, and making the old dump one of the highest-priced refuges for fashionable nuts in the whole East.” "Found the buried treasure under the old mill, what?” Kelsey yawned slightly. Morton chuckled. “Where the money came from, I never knew. Bristow's close-mduthed and it would take a bolder man than T am to ques-

tion him about his affairs. “You see,” he explained, “all this happened after 'Hobo Bill’ came into our lives, and I’ve always believed that he gave the tip that was responsible for our rise to greatness.” The bell of the telelphone jingled, and Morton interrupted himself to answer the call. "Yes, Doctor,” he said; then reluctantly, as he turned round eyes toward Kelsey, “Ye-es— Yes, he’s here. Doctor.” After a moment, he hung up the receiver. "It’s Bristow," he said; “he_ wants to see you in his office right away.” Kelsey flung himself out of Morton’s room and down\the hall to meet his anticipated wigging. Bleek and shining, Bristow lounged on the hearth rug, looking down into the clear flame of a blrchwood fire. The conference upstairs from which he had just come had left him in the best of humor, and he felt in te mood to play a cat and mouse game with Kelsey, whom he regarded as lamentably lacking in finesse. “Ah, Kelsey?” he said pleasantly, taking a chair himself and waving hospitably toward another one. “Sit down and have a cigaret.” He pushed across the table a humidor containing various brands in the different compartments. Kelsey stiffly declined both the übbir and the cigaret. This unwonted cordiality made him wary. But Bristow’s smiling genlalty was proof she rebuff. “Rather late,” he said; "but I was anxious for a little talk with you—about yourself.” He was grave now, but kindly. "Although I may have

seemed to negleot you, you nave really oeen very much In my mind. To •peak frankly, your present manner >f life is not good for you; it leaves you too much time to brood.” Bristow lifted the letter containing the magazine offer from the table, and. getting up, handed it to the younger man. Kelsey rapidly glanced over it, but before‘he could speak Bristow took up his thread again. “I have neither the time r.or,” with ;i mellow laugh, “the inclination to undertake it. Too much research; too much work altogether. But It struck me that it would be just the thing for you. I would have to sign the articles of course, but that is detail.” Kelsey saw himself pulling Bristow’s chestnuts out of the fire! Not for a kingdom. “Do I understand,” he asked with exaggerated humility, his mouth still tA-ltching, "that you wish to entrust, not that hypothetical quantity, your honor, but your name, your scientific reputation to my unworthy hands?” The shaft glanced off, without leaving a scratch. “Don’t belittle yourself, my boy,” benignly. “You are, 1 know, an excellent and well-informed writer.” "I’m sorry," Kelsey’s tone was elaborately satirical, "but It will be impossible for me to oblige you.” "Think twice before you refuse," Bristow urged persuasively. He went on, clothing the same arguments in fresh phrases; but all the time he was covertly scanning Kelsey’s face, watching for that quick" gleam of the eye which would show that the other had awakened to the latent possibilities within his proposal 1 (Continued fn Our Next Issue*)
