"To think that a boy of mine ftllt ICO contrary to my wishes that he wltl re fuse what no sacrlflco on my part Is too great to give him that he cannot ap preciate the opportunities I would have flrien so much to have had!"

But Phillip, tall, good-looking In splto of the scowl w hlch clouded his features, roie moodily and picked up his hat. "Can't see It." he all but growled,, "A fellow's a fool to waste four years that he could be putting In learning a busi ness And dawdling over a pile of books won't help a man to win oui over me other fellow In competition.

Frances succlnct'treble reached Phillip Just as Phillip renched the door Result one loud slam And an Phillip swung down the quiet street, his thoughts were stormy within. "Why couldn't a fellow bo let alone? Col lege was all right enough but Heaens! There were so many things he wanted a motorcycle, n. speed boat, things that didn't even exist in his father's day and to get them, he must get out nnd earn them.

"Maybe," conceded her husband, "but by the time he gets oer It, the class ho should have entered with will have grad uated and have eons of their own." "Yes," agreed mother absent-mindedly. Then she leaned forward and folded her hands lightly. "Listen. John. You know Professor Crosby, of the engineer ing department, don't you?" "I guess I know who you mean," said her husband. "Was sent to France to superintend construction work or "some thin? during the war, wasn't he'" "Ics, that's the qne Well, jears and years ago, cen before I knew jou, he used to come anil see me oh, nothing KTious he was Just one of the crowd of young people But when. ery Infre Things You'll Love to MaJec 'M I jjW j I J y Mkten . .

Her husband was silent a moment It's hard for a father to realize that any disinterested outsider can have more' In. fluenco with his own son than he 'who has cheerfully lnbored and planned and gone witnout lor neanv a score 01 years He sighed Then. "Oo to It, Helen." he told her. "It sounds good. If It will work. And between you nnd me, Helen, getting Phillip to college might, with the new interests anu an. pry mm loose from th flyaway little Miss Seymour's Influence." "Exactly '" declared Helen, and the meeting adjourned Seernl nights later. In the Curtis living-room with Its softly shaded lights, comfortably deep chairs, and general at mosphere of homey llvableness, sat Phil lip's father and mother and Professor William S. Crosby, who didn't In the least mind dropping around, renewing old friendships and getting hold of a promising student for tho university. Frances and Phillip wore absent at some final class supper affair, Frances going with Phil's chum and Phil, of course, with, as Frances put it "his Dulcle." But there had been a general agreement to bo home early. Shortly before ten. Phillip appeared, glowing from his brisk walk from Dul cle's home. "Professor Crosby this Is my son." "Glad to know you, sir " And as their hands met, "I'm hoping to be In one of your clnsses on the hill, this fall. You know I enter the univer sity In September," easily and nonchal antly gave out Phillip. There was a moment's calm Then the conversation Sowod pleasantly, smoothly, into other channels But after the guest's departure, Phillip's father waylaid his son en route to the kitchen. "Phillip, aid I unuerstanu you 10 say you expected " "To enter college. Dad? Oh. jes Changed my mind. Guess I'll go, after all. Any cako left, mother?" But It was after Phillip had gone to, bed that Phillip's parents got the clue to the situation from Frnnces. "What do you think, mother," rattled on Frances, between mouthfuls of what cake Phillip hadn't eaten. "I Just couldn't help eavesdropping on Phillip nnd Dulclo Seymour. I was changing my pumps and they stood right outsldo tho dressing-room door, " 'What aro you going to do next year?" I heard her ask In that sweetie sweetie voice of hers.

Thirteen days previously Dor othv Harriet Camllle Arnold, the daugh ter of & wealthy perfume Importer of ew aorn, lett her Home at lus isaei Seventy-ninth street,, apparently for the purpose of making p. shopping trip down Fifth avenue. In a stora at Fifth ave- nuo and .Fifty-ninth street she pur- cnasea a pound or candy, and two hours later purchased a book, in a storo at mn avenue and Twenty-sixth street At 2.4S a friend stated that she met her on thei street and that Miss Arnold an nounced that she was going for a walk In Central Park. This waa the last trace of her ever found. At tho time of her disappearance she was preparing to give, a luncheon to some sixty of her Bryn Mawr school-, mates nnd a search of her room showed that oho had' not taken any valuable Jewelry with her, nor had she destroyed, any of her letters. So far as the mem bers of her family could state, tho only money she had with her was about $26 or 80. nnd every sign pointed to the fact that her disappearance was not premedlta4ed. ,, J1 splto of the great amount of pub licity given to the case and the descrip tion of the girl and her clothing which were spread broadcast over two conti nents, no trace of her has ever been found and" "tho case of Dorothy Arn old" has become n' synonym for mystery In detective headquarters of a score of cities, lor, though hundreds of thou- nanus or dollars have been spent, and men like William J.
