A " Real - Detective Story by the World's Greatest Detective. A Fascinating ; Love Story Interwoven with the Tangled Threads of Mystery.

For two days Anita -wandered wraithlike about the great darkened v house. 'The thought that , Ramon was 3' keeping something -from her that he and her dead father together had kept i V a secret which, for some reason, must not be revealed to her, weighed upon her spirits. Conjectures as to the un-

known intruder on the night of her la-il-Jr; ther'a death, and his possible purpose,

flooded her mind to the conclusion or 'all else. H:,2l In the duBk of the winter afternoon she was lying on the couch in her -';.a- dressing-room, lost in thought, when Ellen, tapping lightly at the door, intorrupted her reverie. ",, "The minister, Miss Anita the Rev. Dr. Franklin he is in the drawingroom." "Oh! "..'Anita gave, a little raove- - ment of dismay. "Tell h'm that I am

I don't "it feel like talking to him this afternoon." J. "The maid retired, but returned - again almost immediately with a eurprised, half -frightened expression on s her usually stolid face. : "Please, Miss Anita,, Dr. Franklin " j says he must see you and at once. He ! seems to be excited and he won't take j no for an answer. I "Ramon!" Anita cried, springing j from the couch with swift apprehenjalon. "Something has happened to Ra-'ff-lmon, and Dr, has come to tell me. He ixnay be Injured, dead! Ah, God would not do that; He would not take him .from me, too!" , "Don't take on so. Miss. Anita, S dear." the faithful Ellen murmured, '( as he deftly smoothed the girl's hair and rearranged her gown; "the little ' man acts more as if he had a fine V. ... piece of gossip to pass on fidgeting

about like an old woman, he is. Beg- - glng your pardon, Miss, I know he is a minister, of course, and I ought to ehow more respect, but forever he reminds of a fat black pigeon."

- The remarks of the priveliged old servant fell upon deaf, unheeding ears. Anita, sobbing softly beneath her ' breath, flew down to the drawing- - room, where the pompous black-cloaked figure rose at her entrance. But vns it. nurelv Anita's fancy or had

is more fitted to speak to you than "Certainly, Doctor, I understand." j She leaned forward eagerly. "My dear, you know the whole country, the whole world at large, has always considered your father to have been a man of great wealth." "Yes; My father's charities alone, as you are aware, unostentatiously as they were conducted, would have tended to give that impression. Then his tremendous business interests" t "Anita, at the moment of your father's death he was far from being the King of Finance, which the world judged him to be. It is hard for me to tell you this, but you must know,

and you must try to believe that your Heavenly Father is sending you this added trial for -some sure purpose of his own. Your father died a poor man, Anita. In fact a bankrupt." The girl looked up with an Incredulous smile. "Dr. Franklin who could ever have asked you to come to me with such an incredible -assertion - Surely you must know how preposterous the very idea is! I do not boast or brag, but it is common "knowledge that my father was the . richest man in this city, in .this entire -country,, in fact. The thought of such a thing is absurd. . (More Tomorrow)

Helen and Warren Series; Story of Their Married Life

"Frances," said Mrs. Walter one cold January evening, "I wish you would fill up the stove at once. It seems to be growing colder every minute." In a moment Frances was pouring coal into the big heater, which stood in the middle of the room. Mr. Walter, who had just recovered from a long illness, sat before its cheerful glow. "I do wish, dear, you could get your old Job back,"said the wife as she busied about the table cutting bread. "I don't know that I ought to expect it." remarked the father. "The new station agent is an excellent man and I have been sick so long that other men have come into the posi-

"I think I will run out to the barn and see how Molly Is getting on," said Frances. "I want to take Iter some warm mea, anyway." The house was one which eat high on a spur of the mountain and around this spur crept the railroad like a huge steel snake, winding in and out amid the peaks. Frances thought how lcvely the Valley and mountains looked in the purple winter evening

den, she was the. center of an admiring throng. The superintendent, who happened to be on the train, heard the child's story. In a carriage she was driven home that evening, accompanied by enough candy, and fruit to last her two months, and along with her went the superintendent himself to see if Mr. Walter would accept his old position back as station agent at Linden. Tomorrow's story "Mrs. Rabbit's Story."

"There's the taxi," sealing his letter as the. 'phone rang. The " elevator boy took out the trunks. Warren followed with the hand , baggage, while Helen lingered for a final admonition. "Now. Anna, take good , care of everything. Before you lock up,, be sure all the faucets are turned off -and all the windows closed tight." ' "Come on, here's the elevator," called Warren. "We've no time to fool." ... Outside the lights of the taxicab gleamed invitingly. An alluring excitement always surrounds the starting off on a, trip at night, "Grand Central," .directed Warren, as they got in.

Helen leaned back with a relaxing sigh of content. Now she could rest. There was a delightful sense of. freedom in "getting off" without mishap, and knowing that everything was left in good shape. This time nothing had been forgotten. "Oh, dear, it's going to be wonderful," her hand crept into Warren's. "I feel just in the mood for a trip." "Well, I'm pretty blame tired," putting his feet on the seat opposite. "But you'll get a good rest tonight. You can always sleep on the train." They were speeding along in silence, when suddenly with a start, Helen, withdrew her hand and sat up, every muscle tense. "Now what's the matter? What'd you forget?" "Oh, nothing it's all right. I remember now." It was. not all right, but it was too late to fo back! Would there be time to 'phone from the station? she could have screamed with impatience as fhe traffic policeman held them up at a jammed crossing.

It was the light In the hall closet and she "left it turned on? At the last monment Ehe had rushed in there ta get an umbrella and she could NOT remember turning off that light. Anna would never think of looking in the closets and the apartment would be closed for' a month! The bulb was just inside the door, and a

before the station. Helen's mind was filled with a harrowing picture of their whole apartments in flames. Warren leaped out, paid the driver, and they hurried after the porter, who trundled the trunks to the baggage room. There were several in line waiting for checks. Helen seized her opportunity. She had already located the telephone booths just beyond. "Dear, I'll be right back." She heard his ' Hold on there! .Where're you going?" but she dared not stop to answer. In the booth, she panted out the

"Half a minute?" he shouted to a uniformed attendent. "To your right track five! Afraid you won't make it, sir." They reached the gates just as the guard was closing them.

he were well could not get there in time." As she watched the fiery tongues leaping into the gray sky and casting their reflection on the snow, she thought of a sled which hung in the barn. At her feet was a long, sloping side of the mountain, unbroken by a fence or road straight down for two miles it ran, a white, glittering sheet of shimmering crust. In a second the

girl was in the barn, had snatched the sled from its nail and a lantern

from a hook. In another second she had run to the kitchen, lighted the lantern and was dragging the sled to the crest of the mountain. Red shone the flames on the darkening sky light after light broke out In the distant town of Fort Royal. Below in the town's depot she could see the long line of coaches with the gleam from their windows shining out on the snow the Washington express was about to start up the mountain. Into the belt of her waist the girl had remembered to tuck a hatchet, knowing some need for it would arise. Hanging the lighted lantern around her neck, Frances sat down on the sled, gave it a shove and down, down, down she shot. Whiz, whiz, whiz, she sped down over the crust, a feather in a gale. Now she was near the foot, and coming toward the bridge at a slackened gait. Down the track she could hear the whistle of the engine. She must stopt before she was plunged into the burning bridge herself. Taking the hatchet up, she gave a blow into the crust of snow at her back it went through and acted as a drag. Slower and slower went the sled, for the mountain was less steep now and the hatchet held into the hard crust. In a moment she was on the embankment half a mile below the bridge. Taking the lantern she tied it to a long pole she found, then lying on her stomach she held the light high above her head as she scrambled down the icy, stony embankment. Around the

curve loomed the huge, panting engine. The girl gave a wild wave of

the pole, which sent the light out into

the darkness in wide circles. There

was a grinding of brakes, a sharp whistle in the mountain air, then the train slid forward a few hundred yards to come to a standstill.

When the conductor ran back to pick up Frances he found her sitting silent and shivermg on a stone by the track. But the passengers, crowded about her, took her Into the warm car and in a few moments, when the crowd had walked the mile into Lin-

Julia did not mention the fact that

Delaine had asked her to lunch with

him nor that he had inquired of her whether she wrote for publication or not. .The question she had forgotten for the time: she did not speak of the

invitation lest it should distress her

sister further.

Caryl had many things which she

did not tell, but for reasons very differ

ent from those that led to Julia's

reticence. Caryl knew her sister would

disapprove of her acceptance of Somer-

dyke's attentions, also that she would

be horrified could she know of the

falsehoods told .to both Somerdyke and Delaine not to mention the lie

told Jlo Julia herself about Delaine's having asked her his stenographer to lunch with him today. Especially did she appreciate that she must use diplomacy to extricate herself from her present predicament with Delaine, and that if Julia knew of the position she was in she would forbid her telling any more lies to explain those she had already told. Therefore both of the girls talked lightly and rapidly of any matters except those occupying their thoughts.

But under all her seeming indifference Julia Marvin was conscious of a feeling of hurt at the revelation made by Caryl of the nature of Kelley Delaine. Somehow she had felt her little sister was safe with him, and yet he had asked this inexperienced child to lunch with him on the second day that she was in his employ. Of course, other men did that kind of thing but he had seemed different from other men. If his action was not actually improper, it was certainly unconventional. How foolish it was to trust any one! They were probably all alike! But she said nothing of all this but, to put the matter from her mind, glanced at her watch and remarked that if they would not be late for dinner, it was time they got ready. . To which suggestion Caryl agreed without demure.

His sister has just married an En

glish lord, and she and her husband

are living in the house before starting

for Europe. Jack's mother attempts to get her son to imitate Lord Besford in his dress, but Jack thinks differently, and the Englishman is rather as

tonished at his brother-in-law's easy

style of dressing and acting.

This is a demonstration of the "power of the almighty dollar. Mr. Sidney Rose, owner of the Railroad Store, by being Johnny-on-the-Spot, and paying cash, secured 10,000 new shirts at about half their value. Mr. Rose was talking to a shirt wholesaler in Cleveland last week. "Sidney," said the shirt main, "How would you like to buy my entire surplus stock of shirts?" "No" said Mr. Rose. "I've got about 10,000 Shirts that I'm going to sell to somebody awfully cheap," said the S. W. "I'm overstocked with shirts
