THIS STARTS THE STOUY
A house party la being held nt the
country home of "Catherine and Ring- '
ham Harvard. Among the guests is
one Conrad Belknap. "Catherine ills
coTers him cheating nt ranis. Con
vinced that he is conreallng his rcnl
Identity and thnt he is there for some
ulterior purpose, Kntherlne deter
mines to ferret out the mystery. She
has formerly had experience n a
police headquarters detective and has
been known as Lady Kate of the
police. She intercepts a telephone rail
of Belknap's to a woman confederate
named Roberta, and, in turn, speaks
to the woman. Realizing that he is
suspected by Katherlnr, Relknap
threatens to accuse of n crime her
brother, Roderick Matwilton, who is
believed to be (lend. Bingham Har
vard, who once bore the title of the
Night Wind, becomes suspicious nf
Belknap and of 'Catherine's attitude
toward him. Roberta arrives on tin
scene under the name of Sonorita
Cervantez, a pianist, who is to enter
tain the guets. Harvard attnrks
Belknap one night, after he has re
ceived notes from both Katherine
and Roberta from a balcony of the
house. Belknap does not recognize
his assailant. At midnight Kather
ine discovers Roberta in the grounds
with a strange man whom she be
lieves to be her supposedly dead broth
er Roderick. Later, hidden in Ro
berta's room. hc witnesses a quarrel
between her and Belknap in which he
accuses Roberta of deceiving him.
AND HERE IT CONTINUES
Belknap reached nut and .eized her
by one wrlt and held It,
"Listen to me " lie .aid, speaking
with cold precision.
"Well"" .he demanded, meeting his
eyes unflinchingly.
"I can't unlock that door unless I
leave ou long enough to get my tools
to do it with, and 1 won't bother to do
that."
"Whoever went into the bathroom to
avoid me has probablv gone out of it
by way of the window. It is big enough
to get out of, and it isn't much of n
drop to the ground under
It. Hiat
Incident is closed -o far as I am con
cerned. But I want answers to a few
questions. When you have made them.
I will go. I will know if you lie to

"Ask them."
"Did the man you sent for come j

the last time?"
"Yes."
"It was " he went on, but Roberta
interrupted him.
"Yes," she said again.
"Where is he now?
"I sent him away." '
"Why?"
"Because the fact that you had dis-'
covered that I had sent for him spoiled t
my plan. It is evident enough, isn't
it? Walt, C. B. You need not ask
questions; I will tell you all that I
will say in almost one sentence. I sent
for Roderick Maxwilton to come here.

himself known to his father nnd mother

shrugged ngaln, and smiled the more;
and another Idea. Roberta's original one
about the nffnir, recurred to her.
"Or," she ndded, "perhaps It was

"More likely thnn the other, but
equally nbsurd," he agreed, still smil

Then, before he could stop her, she

Belknap smiled more broadly than

"Monday I shall ask you to be my

father's lifelong habit of early ris

was after " o'clock that Kunda.
morning when she lost herself in sleep
nt the Nest, she was wide nwake ngain
soon after five.
It was n bright nnd beautiful morn

one might wish.
Having selected a dainty morning
costume from the abundant wardrobe
that she kept at the Nest, she stood at
one of the windows thnt overlooked the
lake, beyond which u three-pronged
vista through the trees and slirunnery
beyond it had purposely been trimmed
out so ns to command three distinct
views of the house.

thnt It could be made; but as has been
said, Bingham had given her a free
hand In the construction of It, and there
had been no counting of its cost.

desires and plans, and her plans hnd
broadened, and lengthened, and deep

otherR had been ndded to them until
the Nest became, under the skilled
touches of those workmen, a veritable
network of hidden secrets and mysteries
that weie almost unbelievable until one
actually witnessed the workings out of
them.
The Nest win created In the second
decade of the twentieth century, when
every perfected device and power of our
own wonderful and mnrvelous age was
available.
Where hydraulic power was needed,
the lnke supplied it. Whatever of elec
tricity wns required, the lake supplied
that, too, through the hydraulics for
the Nest had Its own small dynamo, its
own storage batteries, and was not
dependent upon outside sources for the
working of its mysteries. Whatever of
compressed-air resourcefulness was em
ployed in the operntion of heavy steel
blinds and doors, and the like, was pro
dured from that same placid source,
the lake. Nature has not blessed us
with nuother power so manifestly stu
pendous ns the pressure of water.
Ah, yes, the Nest was a wonderful
place, indeed as we will discover
Katherine passed outside on that early
Sunday morning in .Tune, and went
swiftly to her father, former Senator
Maxwilton, "the Senator from Ken
tucky." "It is such a comfort to have you
here with me," she said softly ns she
slipped a hand under his arm, and
they strolled nlong one of the path
which would lead, ultimately, to the
stables for well Kntherlne knew that
t.y would have been his goal thnt early

inheritance of thnt love hnd not been
marred or lessened by the high-powered
cars in her husband s garage.
"I want you to sec Daniel Boone

There were so many hoppers that they
were jostled even in the air, while when
they landed they were liable to have

"Here's a tree," said Billy. "We
will climb it and see where w are."
He leaped upon a tall trunk that stood
before them and l'eggj followed. To
their astonishment they found that the
tree was shaking as though tossed by a
violent storm nnd yet the wind wasn't
blowing a bit.
"Is it nn earthemako? exclaimed
Peggy.
Billy shook his head in a puzzled way
and then as he-glanced upward he gave
a queer giggle.
"It's a man-quake," he gasped. "The
tree is the Giant of the Woods." '
And so it wns. Peggy, glancing far
aloft, could see his bushy head tower

tried to drive the grasshoppers into the

"Oh. I assure you there is absolutely

Hardly had the doctor pushed out

lake in true hero fashion, A few pow
erful strokes brought him to the point
where terror-stricken Mrs. Oliver was
frantically struggling,
Doctor Evans had meanwhile rescued
Mabel, whose only grief ns she again
felt solid earth beneath her dainty feet
was that she must indeed appear "a
sight."
After a hard fight with his none too
tiny burden, Bob finnlly reached shal
low water. Having carried Mrs. Oliver
ashore, he suddeuly crumpled up and
fell to the ground.
"Oh, doctor, what is the matter?"
moaned Mabel as she sank by Bob's
side nnd pillowed his head in her Inn

Doctor Evans, "although I'm afraid tho

"Don't faint, folks,," cheerily said the

Late that night the two men weie

Bob contentedly; "but I don't think I

"When you get my bill for profes

Immediately ahead of Qulmct and
Evans were the Philadelphia pair,
Piatt and Tewkesbury. Both of the
Quaker city lads continued playing the
wonderful golf they have been showing
ever since the tournament got under
wny. At the end of the first eighteen
holes Plntt was three upon on Tewkes
bury. Ou the eighth green Piatt had a
splendid chance to sink a two-foot
putt for n win, but he slapped away at
it carelessly and rimmed the cnp. Piatt
is the fastest worker on the greens
in the tournament and many of the
Experts believe that he threw away
many a stroke net. by not taking more
time.
Piatt, however, won the ninth by
virtue of n wonderful thirty-foot hole
out from the edge of the jrcen nfter
being short on ills second nnd third
stroke.

struck his gait on the trip in, making
the journey in 38 nnd enjoying a lend
of four up at the end of the first eigh
teen holes.
Hoffner put together a bird on the
