CHAPTER XXlV—Continued.
"Did they go toward the club?"
Gertrude asked suddenly, leaning for
waj'd.
"No, miss. I think they came into
the village. I didn't get a look at
their faces, but I know every chick
and child in the place, and everybody
knows me. When tliey didn't shout
at me—in my uniform, you know —I
took it they were strangers."
So all we had for our afternoon's
work was this: Some one had been
shot by the bullet that went through
the door; he had not left the village,
and he had not culled in a physician.
Also, Dr. Walker knew who Lucien
Wallace was, and his very denial
made me confident that, in that one
direction at least, we were on the
right track.
"Gertrude," I said, "I have been a
▼cry seiflsh old woman. You are go
ing to leave this miserable house to
night. Annie Morton is going to Scot
land next week, and you shall go right
with her."
To my surprise, she flushed pain
fully.
'i don't want togo, Aunt Ray," she
■aid. "Don't make me leave now."
"You are losing your health and
your good looks," I said decidedly.
"You 6hould have a change."
"I shan't stir a foot." She was
equally decided. Then, more lightly:
"Why, you and Liddy need me to ar
bitrate between you every day iu the
week "
Perhaps ! was growing suspicious of
•very f»n<\ but it seemed to me that
Certrnde'n gayety was forced and ar
tificial. I watched her covertly during
the rest of the drive, and I did not
like the two spots of crimson in her
pale cheeks. But I said nothing more
sbout rending her to Scotland; I kuew
the would not go.

"Well, I'm glad of that—anything
for a change," I said. And in came
Eliza, flanked by Rosie and Mary
Anne.
Her story, broken with sobs and cor
rections from the other two, was this:
At two o'clock (2:15, Rosie Insisted)
she had gone upstairs to get a picture
front her room to show Mary Anne.
! (A picture of a lady, Mary Anne inter-
I posed.) She went up the servants'
staircase and along the corridor to her
room, which lay between the trunk
room and the unfinished ballroom. She
heard a sound as she went down the
corridor like some one moving furni
ture, but she was not nervous. She
thought it might be men examining the
house after the Are the night before,
but she looked in the trunkroom and
saw nobody.
She went into her room quietly. The
noise had ceased and everything was
quiet. Then she sat down on the side
of her bed, and, feeling faint—she was
subject to spells—("l told you that

Indeed she did!") —she put her head
down on her pillow and—
"Took a nap. All right!" I said. "Go

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1910.
I came to come up for two girls and I
their trunks I supposed there was I
something doing, and as this here \
woman had been looking for work in
the village I thought I'd bring her i
along."
Already I had acquired the true j
suburbanite ability to take servants
on faith; I no longer demanded writ- i
ten and unimpeachable references. I,
Rachel Innes, have learned not to
mind if the cook sits down comfort- ]
ably in my sitting room when she is
taking the orders for the day, and I i
am grateful if the silver is not cleaned
with scouring soap. And so that day I
merely told Liddy to send the new ap
plicant in. When she came, however,
I could hardly restrain a gasp of sur
prise. It was the woman with the
pitted face.
She stood somewhat awkwardly just
inside the door, and she had an air of
self-confidence that was inspiring.
Yes, she could cook; was not a fancy
cook, but could make good soups and
desserts If there was any one to take
charge of the salads. And so, in the
end, I took her. As Halsey said, when
we told hltu, it didn't matter much
about the rook's face if it was clean.
I have spoken of Halsey'n restless
ness. On that day It seemed to be
more than ever a resistless impulse
that kept him out until after luncheon.
I think he hoped constantly that he
might meet Louise driving over the
hills In her runabout; possibly he did
meet her occasionally, but from hU
continued gloom I felt sure the situa
tion between them was unchanged.
Part of the afternoon I believe he
read —Gertrude and 1 were out. as I
have said, and at dinner we both no
ticed that something hud occurred to
distract him. He was disagreeable, j
which is unlike him, nervous, looking
at his watch every few minutes, and
he ate almost nothing, lie axked twice !
during the meal on what train Mr 1
Jamleson and the other detective were
coming, and had long periods of ab !
atraction during which he dug his I
fork Into my damask cloth and did
not hear when he was spoken to He
refused dessert, and left the table
early, excusing himself on the ground
that h« wanted to see Ale*.
Ale*, however, was not to be found
It was after eight when ilalsey or

at a quarter bufore nine and began his

trude burst out, "tell us what is wrong.
Halsey is not here. He has gone to
the station for Mr. Jamieson. What
has happened?" .
"To the station, Gertrude? You are
sure?"
"Yes." I said. "Listen. There is
the whistle of the train now."
She relaxed a little at our matter
of-fact tone, and allowed herself to
sink Into a chair.
"Perhaps I was wrong," she said
heavily. "He—will be here In a few
moments if —everything is right"
We sat there, the three of us, with
out attempt at conversation. Both Ger
trude and I recognized the futility of
asking Louise any questions; her
reticence was a part of a role she had
assumed. Our ears were strained for
the first throb of the motor as it
turned into the drive and commenced
the climb to the house. Ten minutes
passed, 15, 20. I saw Louise's hands
grow rigid as they clutched the arms
of her chair. I watched Gertrude's
bright color slowly ebbing away, and
around my own heart I seemed to feel
the grasp of a giant hand.
Twenty-five minutes, and then a
sound. But It was not the chug of the
motor; it was the unmistakable rum
ble of the Casanova hack. Gertrude
drew aside the curtain and peered
into the darkness.
"It's the hack, I am sure," she said,
evidently relieved. "Something has
gone wrong with the car, and no won
der —the way Halsey went down the
hill."
It seemed a long time before the
creaking vehicle came to a stop at the
door. Louise rose and stood watching,
her hand to her throat. And then
Gertrude opened the door, admitting
Mr. Jamieson and a stocky, middle
aged man. Halsey was not with them.
When the door had closed and Louise
realized that Halsey had not come,
her expression changed. From tense
watchfulness to relief, and now again
to absolute despair, her face was an
open page.
"Halsey?" I asked unceremoniously,
ignoring the stranger. "Did he —not
meet you?"
"No." Mr. Jamieson looked slightly
surprised. "I rather expected the
car, but we got up all right."
"You didn't see him at all?" Louise
demanded breathlessly.
Mr. Jamieson knew her at once, al
though ho had not seen her before.
She had kept to her rooms until the
morniug she left.
"No, Miss Armstrong," he said. "1
saw nothing of him. What is wrong?"
"Then we shall have to find him,"
she asserted. "Every Instant Is pre
cious. Mr. Jamieson, I have reason
for believing that he is in danger, but
I don't know what It Is. Only—he
must be found."
The stocky man had said nothing.
Now, however, he went quickly to
ward the door.
"I'll catch the hack down the road
and hold it,"he said. "Is the gentle
man down in the town?"
"Mr. Jamieson," I/iulse said Impul
sively, "I can use the hack. Take my
horse and trap outside and drive like
mad. Try to find the l>ragon Fly—lt
I ought to be easy to trace. I can
| think of no other way. Only, don't
! lose a moment."
The new detective had gone, and
i« moment later Jamieson went rapidly
down the drive, the nob's feet striking
tire at every step, Ijoulse stood look
Ing after them. When she turned
around she faced Gertrude, who stood
' indignant. almost tragic. In the hall
"You know what threatens Halsey,
Louise," she said accusingly. "I be

AWFUL BURNING ITCH CUBED
IN A DAY
"In the middle of the night of March
30th I woke up with a burning Itch In
my two hands and I felt as if I could
pull them apart. In the morning the
Itching had gone to my chest and dur
ing that day It spread all over my
body. I was red and raw from the top
of my head to the Boles of my feet and
I was In continual agony from the
itching. I could neither lie down nor
sit up. I happened to see about Cutl
cura Remedies, and I thought I would
give them a trial. I took a good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. I put it on from
my head down to my feet and then
went to bed. On the first of April I
felt like a new man. The itching was
almost gone. I continued with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
and during that day the itching com
pletely left me. FYank Grldley, 325

The Key to Germany.
Capt. Charle& King, the author,
praised, at the Milwaukee club, the
German element in Milwaukee's pop
ulation.
"I know a soldier," said Capt. King,
"who met the kaiser last year In Ber
lin.
"'You have a thorough knowledge
of our best thought and customs,' said
the kaiser. 'Have you ever been to
Germany before?'
" 'O, yes, sir,' said the soldier.
"'What cities have you visited?
Berlin and Hamburg?' asked the kai
ser. -
" 'No, sir,' said the soldier. 'Mil
waukee.' "
What About Him?
Tho talk had gone back and fro, and
the youthful socialist had been an
nouncing that no man ought to get his
living by cheating, and we all listened
to him, and agreed that It was dread
ful when men and women did not tell
the truth, but tried to make their liv
ing by deceiving people. Millionaires,
landowners, financiers, we scarified all
of them who cheat th 6 public. "No
one should make a living by decep
tion," said the youug man. Then a
quiet voice from a woman came from
the corner of the sofa. "What about
the conjurer?"— London Chronicle.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.
If parents realized the fact that cof
fee contaius a drug— caff nine —which Is
especially harmful to chiidr< n, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
"When I was a child in my moth
er's arms aud Hist began to nibble
thing* at the table, mother used to
Hive me sips of coffee. As my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals 1
never knew theru was anything to
drluk but coffee aud water.
"And so I contracted the coffee
habit early. I remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my pareuts that they tried
roasting wheat aud barley, then
ground it In the coffee mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee.
