CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR FOR a moment the strange numbness which was both fear and tremulous hope held Celia motionless. Then reason reasserted Itself. It could not be Barney Shields who was waiting for her. Barney had meant what he said Celia turned and walked slowly to the living room. Tod Jordan was learning negligently against a table. He swung around, smiling, as she paused in the doorway. "Didn't forget your promise, did you?" he greeted her. She had not given Jordan a thought since he and List had left her the day before. Instead of answering Celia said, "Hello, Tod. It's nice of you to come." He a preached and took both her hands. “So that’s all the welcome I yet. Just ‘hello’!" He studied her face intently. "Look here, sweetheart. Hasn't that headache gone yet?” "Maybe you think sc# but I don’t. You’re looking white a; a Sheet. Has anything happened? Tell me, Celia. What is it?” Jordan’s dark eyes were compelling, his voice sympathetic. Skillfully he dramatized the moment. “There’s nothing the matter.” Celia persisted. And then, though she had endured harshness and disappointment, kindness proved too much for her. Celia suddenly clung to Tod Jordan, burying her face against, his coat front. “It’s—everything!” she sobbed. "Everything’s wrong. Oh, Tod, I’m o unhappy I don't know what to do!” She felt Jordan’s arms go around her. holding her close. "Don’t, darling!” he begged. "Don't cry. Maybe there’s some way l can help You know I'd do anything in the world for you, dear. Please stop crying and tell me all about it.” It was some time before Celia was able to raise her head and speak connectedly. The young man led her to the divan. They sat down and it seemed only natural for Jordan's arm to linger about the girl’s shoulders. His manner was comforting and tender. Celia felt the strain under which she had been suffering lessen gradually. Haltingly she told Tod about her mother’s disappearance and how the search to find her seemed hopeless. “There's— something else, too," she confided "I can’t, tell you because I promised not to. Only—well, it looks as though father’s going away and I won t, be able to stay with Evelyn. Grandmother doesn't want me with her. I don’t know what's going to happen!” tt tt o “OUT, little girl,” Jordan’s voice D was low and vibrant, "does all this matter so terribly? Look at me, Celia. Here—let me see your eyes. Lovely eyes thatSvere never meant for tears —!” He raised the girl's chin until her face was close to his. Jordan’s eyes held the girl’s spellbound. “I can’t go on like this,” the man said harshly. "I've got to say it now. I love you. darling—love you so much that I can't do without you! “Marry me, Celia! Let me take you away where you’ll forget that you ever knew an unhappy moment. Will you, beloved?” The girl had drawn away. "Why, Tod! Do you mean that,?” “More than I ever meant anything in my life!” “You—you want me to marry you?” "Now. This afternoon. This very minute! Oh, my dearest—!” He caught her to him again, kissing her lips, then her cheeks and forehead. It, was an instant before Celia could pull away. "But I haven't said ye,” she told him. “I don’t know—l'm not sure—!” “You can’t refuse!" Jordan declared- “Celia, I swear I can't live without you! You've got to marry me!” “Do you love me so much?” the girl asked, wide-eyed. “There aren’t words enough to tell you!” It was the bewildering climax of two days’ misery. Celia had never listened to such ardor. Barney was gone and there was no one else to whom she could turn. Every one had forsaken her but Jordan. He wanted her, insisted he needed her. Celia forgot her father’s warnings about the young man. • "My car's waiting downstairs,”

Tod said impetuously. "Well drive to Connecticut. Come! Get your hat, Celia.” His eagerness was contagious. The girl sprang up. "I won’t be a minute!" she said and disappeared. tt a tt Evelyn parsons closed the door behind her and crossed the foyer of her apartment at shortly after 5 o'clock. She had lost again at bridge and was in a disagreeable humor. Traffic on the avenue had been congested and that had increased her irritability. "Rose!" she called. “Rose, where are you?” The maid appeared hastily. "Did my hat. come from Saks?” Evelyn demanded. “There haven’t been any packages delivered Mrs. Parsons,” Rose said. "I didn’t know you were expecting anything.” “You mean to say it isn't here? Oh, of all the outrages! The girl assured me it would be sent on the early delivery! “Listen—call up the store at once and say that Mrs. Parsons demands an explanation. Wait! Get the number and I’ll talk to them myself.” “Do you think perhaps first I should inquire—” "Rose, did you hear me? Are you trying to be impertinent? Go to the telephone and do as I tell you.” "Yes, Mrs. Parsons!” Rase dispatched the task immediately. A moment later Evelyn Parsons was hotly engaged in conversation with a weary complaint clerk in the department store. Evelyn insisted on talking to an executive and the clerk cheerfully transferred the call. Mollified and pleased with this show of her importance, Mrs. Parsons finally put down the telephone, "Has Miss Celia gone out?” she asked indifferently. "I believe so,” Rose answered. “Mr. Jordan called and I saw her putting on her hat.” “Oh, Mr. Jordan? Then she probably won’t be here for dinner. She didn’t leave me any message?” “No, ma’am.” Evelyn stood while the maid helped her out of the afternoon costume and into a filmy lounging robe. It was gold, almost the color of Evelyn's hair. She allowed Rose to take down the shining waves and comb them out over her shoulders. The golden hair fell like a shimmering waterfall. Then for thirty minutes Mrs. Parsons relaxed completely while the maid went through the nightly beautifying process. Lotions and ointments and perfumes from expensive containers all played their part. To Evelyn this was a solemn ritual, tribute to the beauty which she worshiped. She was to dine with friends. For the occasion Evelyn selected a purple gown of satin. She put on her pearls and two braoelets and drew a metallic wrap about her shoulders. When she was ready Rose went to the speaking tube and returned to announce that Mrs. Parsons’ car was waiting. There was the sound of the luxurious silk in motion and Evelyn was gone. It was nearly 10 o’clock when she returned. There was no one in the living room. Evelyn dropped her wrap upon a chair, suppressed a yawn and went to her desr. to see if there had been any te.ephone messages. None were recorded. She went down the hail and knocked at Celia’s bedrooir door. For an instant she listened, but no sound came. Evelyn returned to the living room, picked up her cloak, and moved on to her own rooms. n a tt ROSE had been dismissed for the evening. Leisurely Evelyn slipped out of her gown and removed her jewels. She donned lounging pajamas, made herself comfortable on the chaise longue and lighted a cigaret. There was a novel on the table beside her. It was anew book which had come up for discussion at the dinner party. Mrs. Parsons had read only the first few chapters. She found the place she had left off and began to read. She was not aware how much time had passed when she laid the volume aside. Evelyn arose and for a moment stood thoughtfully. Then she stepped into the hall and again knocked at Celia's door. There was no answer.

Cautiously Mrs. Parsons turned the knob and opened the door. Light from the corridor streamed in to show that the room was empty. Evelyn went inside, pressed a wall button and three rose-tinted lamps were illuminated. Nothing about the room waj displaced. Evelyn was about to switch out the lights and leave when a white envelope propped up on the desk caught her eye. There was something unusual about the envelope. She picked it up and saw that her name was inscribed upon it. The handwriting was Celia's. A tiny frown appeared on the woman's forehead as she drew out the note. She read: “Dear Evelyn: This Is to let you know that lam going away because I feel it will be better for all of us. Please do not try to find me and do not let father try. He will not succeed anyhow. Some day a long while from now I hope I can come back. “Tell father I am sorry it had to happen this way but he is not to worry about me. I will be all right. “Tell him I wish I could thank him for all the wonderful things he has done for me. I want to thank you too, Evelyn. And I hope you will be very happy. Good-by.— Celia.” There were two blurred spots on j the note which might have been j caused by teardrops. Evelyn Par- | sons did not notice them. She stared at the sheet of paper and then hastily read it through again. The hand holding the letter dropped and Evelyn’s shoulders straightened. A malicious smile played about her lips. She turned and made a hasty search of the dressing table and clothes closet. Celia's pretty frocks hung row on row. Scarcely anything seemed to have been taken. There was a clock on the bedside table Its hands pointed to 11:15. Evelyn noticed the clock and her expression changed She caught up the telephone, gave a number, and at once burst into incoherent, agonized phrases. “John,” she cried, “It’s Evelyn! You must come at once. Oh, I’m so frightened! I can’t tell you what’s happened until you get here. What? Yes. Yes. Oh, do hurry!” (To Be Continued) STATE APPEALS TO COUNTIES FOR CASH Auditor Asks Tax Payments Now Instead of Dec. 15, When Due. Indiana is “broke” again. Call has been sent out by State Auditor A. N. Bobbitt for the cities and counties to submit their tax payments to the state government now, rather than to wait until the | second annual payment is due, Dec. 15. About 60 per cent will respond, it was estimated by Lewis Johnson, assistant auditor. The state had a balance of $950,000 on Nov. 5, but this has been disbursed by heavy institutional demands under the new budget effective Oct. 1, Johnson explained. Nearly $400,000 was submitted immediately by the local units and several times this sum is expected. 27 NAMED IN COUNTY GRAND JURY CHARGES Manslaughter, Burglary, Banditry Alleged in Indictments.

A mountain rill furnished Von Harben pure, cold water to quench his thirst, and he carried his pistol cocked, hoping that he anight bag some small game to satisfy his hunger. Nor had he gone far before a hare broke cover, and as it rolled over to the crack of the pistol, Von Harben gave thanks that he had devoted much time to perfecting himself in the use of small arms.

On the spot he built a fire and grilled the hare, after which he lit his pipe and lay at ease while he smoked and planned. His was not a temperament to be depressed or discouraged by seeming reverses, and he was determined not to be hurried by excitement, but to conserve his strength at all times during the strenuous days that he felt must lie ahead I* bun.

That night from below there came the noises of the jungle subdued by distance —the yapping of jackals and faintly from afar the roaring of a lion. Toward morning he was awakened by the scream of a leopard, not from the jungle far below, but somewhere upon the mountain slopes near by. He knew that this savage night prowler constiHited a real menace. /

Sane and phlegmatic as he was, Von Harben forgot the menace of beasts or death from starvation in his eagerness to go on. At last he scaled the final barrier and stood upon the crest of the first ridge. Before stretched a rolling plateau, dotted with stunted wind-swept trees, and in the distance lay the next ridge, within pim. surged the eager thrill of discovery.
