TI1IS 'STARTS THE STORY
A dinner natty is being held nt the
" homo of Colonel nnd JJrs. Iicdyard.
Among thoso present nre their daugh
ter, Trlxy. her friend, Hebe Cowlc, i
'Cornelius Swarthmore, 'NVendlc I.rad-
: dock nnd Mrs. Allison Hnrtshorne.
Mrs. Hnrtshorne's pnst history is
m clothed in mystery. Mention I, made
oln. former president of the IUvcrton
bank who was sent to prison for
conversion of tho bank's funds. Sim
suddenly leaves under the pretense of
3 a severe headache. She is accom
panied by Swnrthmorc, who expresses
his love for her nnd obtains her prom
ise of marriage. Sho U found dead
on the floor in the morning by her
suspiciously acting French maid,
Mntildc. Detective Paul Harvey
nsks Rose Adare, n social secretary
to Mrs. Ilartshorno nnd her friends,
to assist him in unraveling tho mys
tery. Rraddock admits it was he who
sent Mrs. Ilartshorno the valuable
pearl necklace which was found ou
her dead body, that she had promised
to be his wife and that nn antagonism
exists between him and Swnrthmorc.
Trixy Lcdyard is accused by llnrvcy
of the murder becauc of jealousy.
She denies the accusation, but admits
that Mrs. Hnrtshorne was killed at
her mother's homo and that she and
her servants removed the body in the
middle of the night to the woman's
own home. Hebe Cowles confesses to
Harvey that she overheard n' quarrel
between Mr. Ilartshorno nnd
Swarthmoro in which she retracted
her promise of marriage and threat
ened to expose his dishonest business
dealings with the government.
Swarthmore admits the quarrel and
his dishonesty to Harvey, but denies
responsibility for tho woman's death.
Swarthmore disappears, with the fed
eral authorities on his track. Harvey
discovers a .second bullet buried iu the
woodwork in the conservatory of the
Lcdyard home. Harvey decides to
investigate the relation between Mrs.
HnrtRhorne and Zenas Trail, the con
victed bank president. Harvey asks
Glaub, n moving picture manager, to
notify him if a certain woman applies
to him for a position.
AND IIKRE IT CONTINUES
The Fare at The Window
"PAUL'S proposed departure ii
-L town, however, was temporarily
delayed by n message which he found
pinned to the tnblccover in hi.s sitting
room when he returned to pack.
It was written laboriously on a bit
of brown wrapping paper and was
evidently the handwork of Mrs. Swen
sen, who appeared Intermittently to
clean his modest apartments.
"Mr. Harvey, sombady name glob
call up on fone five time, he say. got
girl can't hold ware in davil you Vas
he say come."
Even as. he read it admiringly the
telephone rang ,once more and tho ex
cited voice of Mr. Glaub came to him.
"Thank Gawd it's you ! That square
head you've got is the limit. Say, I
gotta squab here with hands like n
kitchen mechanic wno calls herself
'Sada Mula' nn' wants the job! Para
dise hat, white fox, mustard -ycller suit
an white spats. Seems kinder tongue
tied an' scared but she's puttin' n bold
face on it. Thought I couldn't hold
her, but I got her rehearsin and prac
ticing fdintin' spells now nn' if you
can get here before she breaks her neck
you may get some done out of hpr ."
. Paul sped down to the office of his
friend and found it basking in blissful
soiuuae niter the influx of the morn
ing., A tow-headed office boy with an
expression of utter exhaustion on his
relaxed face dozed in a corner. From
behind the door of the inner sanctum
came n dull, crashing thud and nn in
voluntary exclamation.
"Owl"
"That's the stuff! You'll get over
great v xne weaned but profession
ally enthusiastic tones of Mr. Glaub
floated out upon the nir. "Only you
gotta remember that studio sets is built
sort of flimsy an' if you come down
like a ton of coal you're liable to bring
the whole scene down with you! Try
it again an' look out for the water
cooler." j
Paul walked over to the door and
knocked bnVkly.
"Hello!" There wns a world of re
lief in Mr. Glaub's voice. "Come in !
i want you to shake hands with my
new screen star, Miss Sada Mula."
But Paul had no opportunity, for the
lady gave him one startled glance nnd
burst into violent tears.
"Come now, Sadie," he said not un
kindly, when the storm had subsided
to a thin, gulping wail. "Crying won't
get you out of this, you know. What
did you run awny for?"
"F for this!" The erstwhile kitchen
maid waved a hand vaguely about the
office and put it once more to her
eyes. "I w-wantcd to g-go in the
m-movles."
"Your aunt is deeply grieved and
anxious," the detective went on grave
ly. "Why didn't you tell her?"
"Sh-she'd have s-Btopped me, nnd
my uncle would have m-made me go to
work in a lunch-room!" Sadie came
out cautiously from behind her screen
ing hands and felt for her handker
chief. Her lips were sullen and she
eyed him half-defiantly. "I ain't go
ing bnck!"
"No, Sadie, you arc not," he agreed.
"You nre coming down to headquarters
with me and tell the chief of police
how much money you stole from Mrs.
Hartshorne."
The girl's new-found assurance
crumpled nnd a fresh outburst of tears
came.
"I don't c-carel She's dead and it
don't matter, and I had to have nice

'I want j on to
things to be a picture actress!" she
sobbed. "It was my last chance to
got away from pots and pans, nnd I
don't enre what you do to mo! I just
couldn't stand it!"
"Tell me about it," Paul urged sym
pathetically, with a cautioning glance
at Mr. Glaub's excited face. "Did
you take the money all at the same
time or separately?"
"Little by little." responded Sadie.
"I I put it back once, but then I
went and got it again ; she had so much
and, I didn't have any; it wasn't fair!
I never had am thins, no nrcttv clothes
. nor outings, nor a feller, like other
girls; only dish-water and cook's scold
iu's and my uncle's layin'.down the
law! Everjbody in the movies seemed
to be having a perfectly elegant time,
and I knew I could do as good if I
only had the clothes to get me a job!
Mrs. Hnrtshorne, she gave Matilde some
grand things every once in n while that
she was through with, but Matilde
wouldn't let me have them. She didn't
want them herself she wns always mad
when Mrs. Hartshorne gave them to
her nnd burned them in the stove. 1
wouldn't have touched the money if
I'd known poor Mrs. Hartshorne wn
goin' to die so soon! It seemed awful
mean, like I'd hurt her myself, and 1
wns so ashamed I could have died, too.
Hut then I thought she couldn't care,
now, and I was bound to have my
chance!"
"When did you first learn about the
money being hidden nbout the house?"
Paul asked.
"Oh, a long time ago; a. couple of
months, inn) be." Sadie dried her cjes
and sniffed. "Jenny comes down from
the parlor one day scared to death and
said she'd found n $100 bill in a little
box on the mantel, and that Mrs. Hart
shorne had said it was all right, that
she had meant to leave it there. After
that Jenny found n lot more, scattered
like, and her talk about how easy it
would be for some burglar or somebody
to walk off with it kind of put nn idea
into my head. If Mrs. Hartshorne had
so much money she didn't know where
she put it all, why, she wouldn't miss
some of it if it was taken. So 1 thought
it wouldn't be any very great harm.
At first I tried not to think about it
at all, but every time I went to the
movies it come back to me till I was
nearly crazy. At last one day nbout
a month ago- Jenny was cleaning nt the
top of the house, cook wns down with
n toothache and Mrs. Hnrtshorne nnd
Mntilde was both ortt. I sneaked up to
the parlor and, sure enough, I found
two $100 bills in n vuse ! I took out
one of them and left the other, and
hid what I'd taken under the rug in
our basement sitting room. I waited
two or three days, but nothin' happened,
so one afternoon when everybody was
out again I came up nnd took 5-00
more from between the covers of some
books in the bookcase."
"Is that all?" Paul eyed her sternly.
"N-no," she faltered. "I got scared
ajul put the $300 bnck, but it didn't
seem to make any difference to any
body except me, nnd I made up my
mind to take it ngain as quick as I
could. It seemed as if there never
would come a time when I could get
into that parlor once moro without
somebody snoopin' 'round, but last
Wednesday when I saw that face at
the window "
"What face?" Paul interrupted.
"Oh. I didn't tell you about that!"
she paused. "I was goin' to when you
talked to me before, but that fat man
who was with you yelled at me so, I
didn't care. It was after dark, but the
gentleman that was having tea with
Mrs. Hartshorne hadn't gone yet when
I got through prepnrin' what I had to
for dinner nnd went into the bnsement
sitting room.
"I was starin' out the window watch -in'
the lights spring up in thq. houses
across the street and wonderin' if I
could get out that night to the movies
Can Have It Framed, Anywpu

shake hands with my ncv? screen star,
when I saw a dark figure, like a shadow I to be fine for your proposition on ac
ciccpln' around tho nrcaway nnd a face count of its being such n manufacturing

mlne with only the glass between!"
hat was it like?"
"Like n corpse!" Sadie responded,
with a gruesome lelish. "All but the
eyes that was nwful bright and bliiikln'.
Ho looked to be very old, for his face
was all wrinkled nnd a lock of white hair
showed under the lint he wore pulled
Jow. He was terrible thin, too. and
tiemblj, nnd I guess I s'prived him ns
much ns ho did me, for he ducked nnd
jumped back nnd in n minute more he
was gone. As for mo I let n screech
out of mo thnt brought the cook in,
but she wouldn't believe there'd been
anybody there, and gave me a scoldin'.
Late that night, after tho other
gentleman who had come for dinner
was gone and the lights wns nil out I
tiptoed down with a candle end nnd
took the three hundred back from where
I'd put it and another bill that I didn't
dare stop to look nt from n aso on
the console table. I ran back up to the
room I shared with the cook and stuffed
the moucy under the mattrcs of my
cot, thinkin' that if it should happen
to be missed in the morning I could tell
about the burglar I'd seen linngln'
round and cook would have to back
mo up.
"Hut nobody said a word, and it
bein' my afternoon off I took the money
with me to my mint's. I didn't dare
look at It until Imade nn excuse for
her to go across tho hall to a neighbor's
to borrow n long needle for n hat I wns
trimmin' and when I got her safe out
of the way and saw the last bill I had
taken I nearly fainted, for it was a
fue-hundred-dollnr one! I sewed all
the money up quick in my pillow, but
I worried something awful when 1 went
back to Mrs. Hnrtshorne's for fear my
aunt would find it.
"Then Mrs. Hnrtshorne was found
murdered the uext day and 1 felt ns if
I'd brought ill-luck on her by stealin'
from her, but it was too late to put
tho money back n second time. And
now I'd lost my place uncle would
make me go in thnt dirty old lunch -loom
his friend runs and that would be
the end of everything if I didn't start
out for myself. And now if only you
hadn't found me, I'd have been n movie
star!"
Mr. Glaub choked irrepressibly and
Paul demunded ;
What have you done with all the
money?"
"I I spent a lot, hadie confessed
in n very small voice. "Sixty for thl
hat, and eighty-five for the fur, and
fifty for the suiUnnd nbout forty more
for shoes nnd anitcase and things to
put in it. Then I've been livin' 'round
in small" hotels, n different one every
night since Saturday. I haven't touched
the fiv6 hundred yet; I was afraid to try
to get it changed for fear people would
ask me questions. Here's all I've got
left."
She opened her purse nnd poured out
upon Mr. Glaub's desk several crumpled
bills and n hnndful of silver. Then
from her waist she produced a crisp
yellow-back and added it to the rest.
As she sat gazing at it her lips trembled
and once more the ears overflowed.
"Just when I had my chance!" she
sobbed. "It ain't fair! I never had
anything!"
Tho midnight train for Ilivcrborn
carried among its other passengers a
certain slightly lame young man who
occupied a compartment nnd fell quite
easily into conversation with the con
ductor when that worthy appeared for
his ticket.
"The yourig man, it appeared, had
some capital of his own and was think
ing of establishing an amusement park
in IUverboro, whereupon the conductor
whxed enthusiastic, for the bustling lit
tle city at the terminus of tho branch
road proved to be his home town.
"Great place, sir. More money for
its size than any other city in the
state!" he announced proudly. "Ought
MK, Sada Mula."
, tion but the fair grounds and a picnic
grove. o've got four hotels, three
banks, nine churches nnd two big dc-
paitmeut stores, to say nothing of the
library and the town hall. Oh, you'll
find us quite up to date ! The best ain't
none too good for us!"
"Three banks?" repeated the joung
man meditaticly. "I'll have to do
business with n bank light away."
"Yes, sir! First nnd Second Na
tional, and the Municipal ; that used to
be the. Itivcrboro, but it failed a few
years ngo, wrecked by the president,
Zenas Prall." Tho,conductor paused to
accept a cigar. "Thank you, sir, don't
mind if I d"o ! Prall, he went to jail,
but they say he's out now. Heats all
how those slippery fellers can get out
of paying for what they do!"
"Has lie shown up again in Itivcr
boro?" the joung man asked care
lessly. "litf Godfrey, no!" The conductor
ejaculated. "He made away with the
savings of nil the small shopkeepers,
to say nothing of the foieigu mill
hands nnd factory workers. Itiver
boro's n law-abiding community, but
old Zenas's life wouldn't be worth u
plugged nickel if he ever came back.
The bank's nil right ijow though, under
its new nume nnd all reorganized; Ed
mund Coe is the only one left thnt used
to be on the old board, nnd his hon
esty never was questioned; he's the
president now. You won't go wrong
doing business with them, and if you're
a stranger in town with no lodgings en
gaged I'd 'advise you to try the Norton
House ; it's got n grill room nnd n
Turkish bath and all the latest im
provements. Yes, sir, tncre's nothing
slow nbout Itivcrboro!"
The next morning ns he deposited his
bags in a jitney and climbed in after
them for the ride to the Norton House,
Paul concluded that the conductor had
spoken truly. There seemed to be noth
ing slow about the cheery, prosperous
looking town. Embryo skyscrapers
were springing up on every hand,
traffic policemen iu much dignity stood
nt the intersections of cur lines and
the number of jewelry shops, motor
car agencies and sporting goods dis
plays attested to the wealth of the com
munity. At 10 o'clock Paul left the rather
blatant gorgeousness of the Norton
Ilouve and presented himself nt the
Municipal Hank, where he asked to see
tho president, fortifying Ills request
with the credentials with which he had
supplied himself for the emergency.
I President Coe proved to be a cadaver
ous individual, with a hook noso ami a
lonB Boatce which persisted iu intruding
itself into the conversntion. 'Hut he
took kindly to the young stranger's en
terprise, particularly when it developed
that he required no additional) finanrlnl
backing to vfhat he already possessed.
The interview was nn eminently satis
factory one and Paul remarked in con
clusion: .
"You've made nn enviable reputa
tion, Mr. Coe, by establishing this in
stitution so solidly on tire ruins qf the
old lliverboro. Prall's speculations and
exposure must hne been n frightful
blow, not only to the depositors, but
to his associates and family."
President Coe's cordiality congealed,
and his goatee waggled a pjotcst at the
tactless reference.

DREW mopped her eyes nnd
IVli
stuffed her limp handkerchief in her
apron sjockct.
"I don't wonder you cry," 'sympa
thized her neighbor, Mrs. Kent, rock
ing violently back nnd forth in the
porch chair. "After you've worked your
fingers off for that boy, so he could go
to college and have things real fine to
have him turn nround and get married
without sajing a word; It's too much."
"They'll be here tomorrow," sobbed
Mrs. Drew. "I haven't the heart to
bake n thing."
"Let the bride try her hand," sneered
Mrs, Kent.
Mrs. Drew shook her head energeti
cally. "Hesides, he said she worked in
nn office. Probably nil she knows about
cooking is how to typewrite recipes."
"Oh!" said Mrs. Kent significantly,
"I've heard tell about that kind. Wears
French heels. Those girls spend every
penny they earu on silk things."
Mrs. Kent laughed scornfully. "She'll
want to boss ever) thing, nnd CInrcncc'll
s'tand up for her. That's what he'll
do. You just wait."
At this dire prophecy, Mrs. Drew's
face disappeared completely in the folds
of the .checked calico. "I don't know
how I'm ever going to stand it," she
wailed.
"There's the expressinnn," cried Mrs.
Kent, with nn eager start.
Her hostess lowered her apron.
"Clarence wrote she wns sending some
of her things."
"Oh, renllj 5" Mrs. Kent wns nlLJn
tcrest. "He told me to unpack the box." As
slip gplfkc, she walked hurriedly to the
steps to receive the package. Mechani
cally she signed for it. The mere ac
ceptance of it appeared a disloyalty to
all the past years that had belonged ex
clusively to Clarence nnd her. This
seemed the opening wedge bound to
split asunder his life nnd her own. Her
lip, quhered and tho box slipped from
her shaking hands.
Mrs. Kent snatched it. "Shall I open
it?" she asked eagerly.
' "Well yes no I'll do it myself.'.
Mrs.- Drew sat down nnd commenced
working at the knot.
"Cut it, cut it," snapped her caller,
impatiently.
Hut the mother wns thinking that
probably Clarence's hands had tied that
Knot, nnd her fingers lingered over it
lovingly. Slowly she unfastened the
string, removed the heavy wrapping pa
per, untied more knots and at length
loosened the cover.
Mrs. Kent pulled up her ehnir faith
ill-concmlcd satisfaction. "I'm that
curious," she confessed, her sharp nose
coming over closer.
Mrs. Drew glanced nt t;hc greedily
peering eyes, nnd for a moment her
hands hesitated. Then her longing for
sympathy overcame her scruples. She
let tho cover slide to the floor.
"Well!" ejaculated Mrs. Kent.
The cj cs of both women were fixed on
the neatly folded garments. Mrs.
Kent's hand flew out swiftly ns if to
disturb them and explore further; but
a sudden change in her hostess' ntti-
tude made her as quickly withdraw it.
"I think I'll go in," remarked Mrs.
Drew, after a weighty pause. "You
come over again, Carrie."
There was no mistnkiug the import of
her words. Mrs. Kent's jaw propped.
She hurriedly arose.
"I clean forgot I had a cake bak
ing," she exclaimed with remarkable
presence of mind ; then added sourly, "I
hope you enjoy your visit."
Rut Mrs. Drew hnd passed into the
house, ignoring her. Upstairs iu the lit
tle white bedroom where Clarence hnd
slept until he went to college, she un
packed the box and laid its- contents,
one piece nfter another, on the snowy
counterpane.
"Just like what I used to have," she
whispered. "No silk nonsense just cot
ton, like mine."
She shook out a white dress, smooth
ing its folds. "I tlt-t'lare she must have
made it hciself. . The lining looks that
way. I'll have to show-her how it ought
to be done. Why, bless my heart, here's
n real calico apron and another great
big ones." She gave n little choking
laugh. ,

riHIEF CHATTEIt-CIIEE!
Chief
Kj
Chattcr-Chcel" cried (ho wild
monkeys loudly when Cheeky shrieked
out that his father was coming. They
seemed afraid of their chieftain.
Clinging-Tail, the friendly old mon
key, grabbed HiHy by tho arm and drew
him behind a mass of vines thnt hid a
hole iu a hollow tree. He shoved Hilly
into the hole 'and pulled the vines in
front of him.
' "Stay there 1" he hissed. "Cheeky
will tell his father, Chief Chattcr
Chcc, about how you squeezed his neck,
nnd the chief will seek to punish you."
"Hut who will protect Smiling
Teacher?" asked Hilly.
"I'll hide her, too," answered Cling-ing-Tall.
Darting into the excited
crowd of chnttcrlng monkeys, he tried
to lead Smiling Teacher away. She
had not been warned of the danger,
however, and was eager to sec Chief
Cliattcr-Chcc, who just then burst into
the crowd, nf the head of a lively,
swaggering band of monkey brnves.
"Father Father! A strange mon
key squeezed my neck," wailed young
Cheeky.
Chief Chntter-Chce, a bristling,
fierce-looking chap, flew into a quick
rage.
"Wc-ee-ek! Who has dared to touch
my sou? Show him to mo'!"
Cheeky rushed nround trying to find
Hilly, but.Hilly wns safely hidden in the
hollow tree. All the wild monkeys
quniled before Chief ChAter-Chee's an
ger nnd it wns plain to be seen they hnd
felt his fury in the past.
Hut to Smiling Tencher, the anger of
Chief Chattcr-Chce instead of being
frightful was only comical. She chuck
led and giggled and cujojed the sight so
box, each receiving a welcoming com
ment. "Well, well, if she hasn't packed
in some of Clarence's socks. And they're
darned. Npw, that's fine. Not a hole
left niid done as neat as jou please."
Mrs. Drew's face had grown brighter
nnd brighter. At length, her task com
pleted, she stood back to view the re
sult. The. whole room, that haven of
dear memories, had taken on a, differ
ent aspect. The new personality seemed
already to have left an impress. A
strangely sweet charm radiated from
tho neatly spread clothing on the white
bed. Her eyes caressed their fresh dain
tiness. Then she recalled Mrs. Kent's
greedy curiosity.
"I guess .ft's none of her business
what Clarence's wife chooses to wear,"
muttered Mrs. Drew with sudden in
dignntlon. She returned to the bed, nnd passed
her hands gently over the folds' of the
white dress. All the rancor, all the deep
hurt iu her heart incited away.
"Clarence said she hnd no mother,"
she whispered; then, nfter a long pause,
"I always wanted n daughter."

"Yes, he Is cruel, cfuci, nttl he had

Sho must be saved!" muttered Cllng-lug-Tall.
Hilly darted out of his hiding place
to go to the rescue. At that moment,
however, Smiling Teacher came tum

Chief Chattcr-Chce chasing after her.
Hollo, the Wandering Monkey,
sprang forward to meet them. In hta

children Into monkeys. He aimed a
blow nt Chief Chattcr-Chce, but Smil

the Dream Stick struck her instend. In
