Mr. JurJ ion looked at his white, constricted face, and told himself that {Stephen was a. hound. He loved one girl and was preparing to marry another —a rich girl. “Just a slight wound,” the inqui dor said, putting an end to the torture. Hr was satisfied now. ‘ Where is she?'* Stephen asked hoarsely. “In a hospital, but she's going aomc tonight.” Stephen jumped so his feet. "She mustn’t be allowed ‘o leave! They'll yet her before she’s gone a block!” ‘‘She ll be protected.” Mr. Judson assured him. "Sit town.’ “I'd like to see her." Stephen said almo t, pleadingly. Mr. .Judson shook lii.s head. "They sent me away to let her rest." lie '■aid. "She's been under a severe strain for week. You know that. This shock lias unnerved her.” "How did f happen?" Stephen nsked. Mr. Judson told him as much as he knew of the shooting. Mildred's account of it had been very sketchy. "That, was the second attempt at murder this afternoon.” Oerndorf ■ poke ui>. Mr. Judson turned to him with a rapid fire of questions. Mr. Armitage here.” the lawyer said and nodded to Stephen. Then he told his client of the shooting on First avenue. it r a “epHEY mean to get rid of your X witnesses." lie ended. "Which intention suggests that, they do not know the police have the thumbprint, of the murderer, assuming it is hi. thumbprint on the bolt.” Mr. Judson turned back to Stephen and his voice was less harsh as he said: "Miss Lawrence begged me to warn you of your danger. But 1 m sure you realize that it is grave.” Stephen nodded. "You interrupted me.” Oerndorf said to Mr. Judson. "I was about to point out that it is necessary in order to protect these two. Mr. Armitage and Miss Lawrence, that thick Connor be apprehended immediately. ' Mr. Judson glowered at him. "Don't be funny. Oerndorf," he said . hcrtly. The lawyer bridled. "I am not indulging in humor." he said tartly. T was going to say that <ho owner of the taxicab from which the shots were fired is now in custody, no doubt. “Id advise that no time be lost

THE NEW Saint-Sinner ByJlnneAustin c¥K& Y ma sasia.n-

Rhoda Jonson did not answer Aunt Hattie's sharp command that she • - si>cak for herself," but her bur. China-blue eyes flashed a child-like appeal to her brother. "What is it. Sis?" he asked, his deep voice very kind. "Is there any question in your own mind about Koinp to New York for this audition?" Tho girl who by a strange freak of nature could sing divinely in imitation of the voices of great sopranos, but who would rather bake a cake than sing an aria burst suddenly into tears. "Os course she wants to get. into the Metropolitan if she can. Nils!" Cherry answered for her sister-in-law. her voice crackling with indignation and her topaz eyes sparkling venomous anger at her interfering aunt. "You keep out of this a minute honev," Nils commanded his wife .storrly. "Listen to me. Rhoda baby. I've been looking after you for a vood long while now, honey, and you'll admit that I've never made \ou do anything that you really didn't want to do. I'm asking you now : Do you want to be an opera singer, or don't you?" Prom behind the crooked arm muffled words and sobs tumbled cu t. -I—l don't want to, because I I don't think I can—" “That's simply idiotic!' Cherry ( ried. "Every one who's heard you says you've got a voice exactly like Galli-Curci’s —" "Yes" Rhoda dropped her arm and faced her sister-in-law with a startling show of spirit. Like GalliCurci’s! That's the whole point, and I've tried hard to make you all see It! "I'm just an imitator, like a parrot! I'm not a singer w ith anything out my vocal cords, and I can t help it if they happen to bo queer—" “Queer!" Cherry groaned. Then, shrilly: "Fame and fortune arc waiting for you. glory for the whole family as well as yourself, and you are perfectly willing to stick in my kitchen and—" •Cherry!" Nils warned. “No. I'm not!" Rhoda astonished them all by gasping out the defiance as she sprang to her feet. "I'm not willing to cook for you and Nils for the rest of my days. I want to got married—’’ Grandpa Lane, who had been straining forward to listen, his hand

,in questioning him. Give him the third degree if necessary to make him reveal Huck Connor's wherc- | abouts.” "That's fcn.se. Mr. Judson agreed. "Will you come with us. Armitage?" Stephen hesitated. "You're sure they won t let me sec Miss Lawrence?” “I’m positive they won’t. Come along." Stephen went, quite forgetting that Pamela was waiting for him. They rode downtown in a taxi. Mr. Judson explained that he had placed hs own car at Mildred's disposal and hired a detective to accompany her to her home and act as a bodyguard while she remained in danger. Stephen, remembering what Frean had done for him, was greatly relieved. ' Markesor. is sending one of his own men as well,” Mr. Judson added, “so she will be well ' guarded.” i "God. I hope this man will talk,” j Stepncn exclaimed as they neared j their destination. But his hope was not destined to come to fruition. The man did not I talk. He could not. For Hack's i hiding place v.as not known to him. Mr. Judson had gone home to have dinner with his wife, Pamela j and Stephen, and Oerndorf was j ensconced In the bosom of his fam- ! ily up in Bronxvillc long before the ! questioning w as over. n n n rpHE taxi owner was released at 1 last. There was nothing on the j records against him. The police | w ere forced to conclude that the : theft of his cab had been a bona | fide larceny. He left, cursing and declaring his I hatred and defiance of them, though the strength that remained in him was small. •He knew he was followed. “Trail me. damn you,” he shrieked, turning ! and shaking his fist at his unseen j sha dower. Mr. Judson got the news of the , failure to make him talk from the i police by telephone. “You'd better send for your ! tilings and remain here,” he said to | Stephen. I Stephen was disinclined to accept | the invitation. I “Well, then." Mr. Judson said, j - you are under police orders to do j so.” | He let Stephen catch a glance w hich PameliF did not sec and the young man understood that there was something her father did not care to make known to her. He gave in with a poor show oi j grace. Since returning from the po- ; lice station where the ow ner of the taxi had been taken Stephen had | sought to get away from Mr. Judson | and go to Mildred. But Mr. Judson was not willing ';o lot him out or hfis sight. He feared Stephen's disregard of dani Whatever else he might think of I him lie did not consider Stephen a | coward. And he had no desire to ! lose a valuable witness. Aside from ; that lie wanted to see Stephen and Pamela together, to study them, and learn, if possible, how much Stephen j meant to his daughter. j Before the dinner was over he I concluded he was right about Stei plien beyond question. The young | man seemed oblivious to Pamela’s } charm. Pamela noticed it. too. but she put | it down to oppression. Who wouldn't j be tongue-tied with a future father- ■ in-law glowering across the table at j you. let alone a high-hat future j stepmother-in-law? She tried to coax her father into

cuppcd behind his ear, suddenly smote the table with his fist / and whooped: “Attababy!” "Who’s got a baby? Has Rhoda got. a baby?” quavered Grandma Lane. “No, Grandma Lane." Rhoda answered, her lionev-colored head high. "I haven’t got one yet, but I want one. I’ve never wanted to be an opera singer. I've never wanted anything but a husband and a home and babies—” "Got the daddy all picked out. ain't you?” Aunt Hattie chuckled. "Reckon I'm the only one in this family that ain't as blind as a bat.” Cherry's small body suddenly slumped low in her chair. Her shrug was a confession of defeat. "It's Ben Grayson, I suppose? I think you might have told me before. Rhoda—” "I didn't dare!” Rhoda quivered. "I didn't want to disappoint you and Nils and—and my singing teacher and everybody. I was going to try. honestly I was—” “Ben's a fine boy. honey.” her brother assured her. as he rose to take her into his arms. "You might have known Id be tickled to death." (To Be Continued)

| a better man but he paid no at- ! tcntlon to her. a R n YOU'D better not keep your young man up late." her father .aid to her when they left the tabic. “And you're looking terribly rocky yourself.” Mrs. Judson supplemented, thinking of the new necklace Pamela had got. She didn't see why an unmarried girl should have so many jewels. “Oh. I won't need to worry until I'm after my third husband,” Pamela retorted behind her father's back. Her step-mother, having married three times, turned angrily away to the small salon that adjoined the private room where they had dined and seated herself at the Florentine piano to murde- Debussy. Pamela drew Stephen off into a corner and, offered him a cigaret. : Mr. Judson left to attend to some I business in his office. "At last wc have a chance to : talk. Pamela said and settled hcr- ' self far back on a silken couch. Her costume was a very thin one and Stephen thought she must be cold and got up to close one of the French windows that opened onto a small balcony. When he reached it he stepped 1 out, drawn by the beauty of the | sky that glistened with stars—stars i that he hadn't seen for weeks. He looked a moment at them and j then leaned out to view the comi noting lights below. With a choked cry and a bound ! Pamela was running toward him. He turned in surprise. "Oh don’t don’t,” she cried and grasped his arm with all her might. "What’s the matter?” "Don’t go so near the edge! You might fall over! Oh, close the winj dow, please!” a r O HE was leaning against him. her O eyes wide with terror, shaking | like a leaf. "Nonsense,” Stephen said un- ; gently, but Pamela continued to | cling to him. "I couldn't bear to lose you. too. j Steve. Oh. 1 love you so dearly,” j she wailed. Stephen put an arm around her so lift her away so he could close the window. The feel of her slim young body aroused no tender emotion in his heart but he was touched by her emotion. “Poor kid," he murmured and pressed her closer. Her father returning, entered the room before Pamela drew herself out of Stephen's embrace. He stood for a moment surveying the young* couple with a perplexed expression on his weary features. Could he have been mistaken? Had the coldness he believed he saw' ■ in Stephen been only the result of shyness? But Stephen's interest in Mildred. . . . He got no further in his thoughts. Stephen saw him and quickly thrust Pamela away. "Here’s the key to your room.” Mr. Judson said, advancing with outstretched hand. . “Your things have arrived. The I management of the hotel where you ! lived had them placed in storage. | I hope you will find everything in ■ order.” “Thank you,” Stephen said. ! "There was nothing important; ! mostly clothing. One of the boys I from Mettle's was kind enough to look after the things I valued.” He turned to Pamela to say goodnight, remarking that he would like to unpack his things. In reality he wanted to get away and telephone Mildred's home to inquire how she was getting along. An earlier call, put through by Mr. Judson. had acquainted them with i her safe arrival at the flat. “You can't go so easily,” Pamela, declared stormily. “Why, we haven’t settled anything about our wedI ding!” Her father looked at her with more sterness than she w.as accus- , Tomed to see on his face. “Mr. Armitage has had a very exciting day, Pam.” he said quietly, j “Besides. I want to have* a talk with you alone.” (To Be Continued) ; OPERA STAR MARRIES ; Contralto Is Bride of President of Wells, Fargo & Cos. Ri< I vilol I’rrxx NEW YORK. May 11.—Marion Telva.

This belief arises because there arc certain bacteria which feed on he sugar in the milk, causing it to acidulate. The air is usually warm-

er just preceding an electrical storm and these bacteria multiply much more rapidly at warm temperature. The souring of milk and the elec'ircal phenomenon are in no way directly connected nor does the thunder cause the milk to sour.
