lie tce tired of a humdrum cx
lutcncc!
Out of these two Hareld MacOrath
has woven a fascinating romance.
"The World Outside
Begins Wednesday .

ferbcarnnce you have shown me se far."
The tearA were In the bis dark eves.
and even as they moved Mrs. Adams
te sympathy, she also .wondered if they
were rea . "A eirl who would redden
her lips would be capable of any deceit
and duplicity," Esther Adams reasoned.
Hut she went en, calmly. ,
"I come new. Miss Austin, te tell
you that Mr. Trask Id down stairs nnd
wants te see j'eu. Ule wants you te go
te his house te Btay. The Peytons arc
there, of course, nnd he offers you the
shelter of his reef and protection until
this dreadful matter Is settled up."
"Mr. Trnsk!" Anltn looked her
amazement.
"Yes; new don't be silly. ou very
well knew he is mad about you, nnd he
hopes te get j'eu freed and then marry
you."
Miss Mystery's Story
"Oh, he does!" It was the old,
scornful Miss Mystery who bpekc.
"Well, will you please tell him from
me "
"New. don't you be tee hoity-teity,
mlssl You're mighty lucky te have n
borne offered you "
"Yes, thnt's quite true. Well, Mrs.
Adams, will you go down, then, nnd
say I'll be down in a moment or two.
Olvc me time te freshen my nppenr
nnce n bit."
"Yes, with paints and powders and
cosmetics!" Esther Adams grumbled
te herself, ns she went down the stairs.
As a matter of fact she quite mis
judged the girl. Very rarely did Anita
resort te artificial nld of that sort,
but when slip se desired she used it
as she would any ether personal nddrn
inent. "She's coming down," Mrs. Adams
nnneunced, ns she returned te Trask
nnd they waited.
Rut when the minutes grew te n
quarter of nn hour, and then nearly te
a half, Mrs. Adams again climbed the
stairs te hasten proceedings.
This time she found the room empty.
The absence, tee, of brushes nnd
combs, the disappearance of n small
suitcase, and the fact that her hat
and cent were gene all pointed un
mlstnknbly te the assumption that the
girl had fled.
"Well!" Mrs. Adams reported,
"she's lit out, bag nnd bnggage."
"Gene!" exclaimed Trask in dis
may. "Well, she isn't in her room. Her
trunk Is locked nnd strapped nnd her
suitcase is missing. Her hat nnd coat's
gene, tee, se jeu can make your own
cuess." '
Rut Mnurire Trask didn't stay there
te make his guess.
He went back home as fast as he
could ntjd told Fleming Stene the news.
"Run nwn.v, has Bhe?" said Stene.
"I rather looked for that."
"Yeu did ! And took no steps te pre
vent it! You're a nice detective, you
nre. Well, if you're se smart, where'd
she go?"
"Where's Leck weed?" wns Stene's
laconic response.
"J.ockweod!" exclaimed Trask.
"Wherever he Is. he hasn't run off with
Antta Austin! If he has by Jove, I'll
break ccrj bone in his body!"
"You'll hnve te catch him first,"
smiled the detective.
"I'll catch him! I'll set you te de
it. And, loeky here, If she's gene off
with tlint mnn, jeu can go ahead and
catch her, cntch them both, nnd theu
go abend and prove her guilty." ,
"Is she?"
"Is she? Yeu bet she is! And I
knew It."
"Hew de you knew?"
"I'll tell jeu. I knew her eye
brows!" "Up de I knew her eyebrows. Rut
they don't tell me she's a murderer."
"Well, they tell me that! It's this
way. Her eyebrows are net only heavy
and dark, but they almost meet ever
the bridge of ber note."
"Dailfng nose!" put In Fibsy, who
was interested in Anita, but net in
Trnsk's deductions.
Docs your knowledge of nhrsinar-
nemy tell jeu that thes.e meeting eye eye
hrews nre a sign of a criminal?" asked
Stene.
"Nothing of that sort. Rut they
are the Truesdell brews."
"The Truesdell brews?" Stene raised
his own. "Sounds like a proprietary
urtlclc. Net artificial nre they?"
"New. see here, Mr. Stene. I'm in
no geed mood te be guyed. These eye
brows are frequently Feen In the Trues
dell famllj. My grandfather brother
married a Truesaeu."
"Your grandfather's brother married
a Truesdell. And your own grandfather
didn't?"
"Ne: I Haven t tnesc brews."
"Well, you're net entitled te them,
having no Truesdell bleed in j-eur
elns."
"Rut that girl has."
"Indeed! Interesting, Is It net?"
"Aw, ceme off that line e' talk, F
8.," said Ftbsy, knitting his brews,
which were net Truesdellian. "I'm
secin' a chink e' light. The brother
of jour grandfather, new, Mr. Trask,
he was named ?"
"Waring, of course. Henry Waring.
Mv grandfather wns Jnmcs Waring."
"And this Henry Waring he wns
the father of Dr. Jehn Waring?"
As Fibsy said this, Stene snt
right, nnd gazed hard nt Trnsk.
"Yes, Jehn Wnring's father
Henry, nnd my grandfather
Henry's brother James. That's
I'm relnted. And being the only
that s why Iiri the heir Here.
up-
was
n
hew
one,
Rut.
don't jeu Me, Dr. Waring h mother
was n Truesdell "
"And Mlsh Austin is a relative of
hers a connection of the Truesdell
family somehow " exclaimed the
new excited Fibsy, "and she found out
nbeut it, und came here and "
"Yes," Trnsk wild, "and tried te get
some money from Jehn Waring en the
ground of relationship."
"What relntien could she be?
"Mnjbe n niece of Dr. Waring or a
cousin. Majbe the. sumo relation te
Dr. Wnring's mother that I nm te his
father. Then, that would explain his
giving her money and the pin nnd
mnjbe shn burned the will: nnd then
t-he "
"Rut It complicates everything," Mid
Stene, who was thinking quickly.
"However, If Miss Austin is connected
with thn Trui" dell family It gives us
n wnv te leek te learn her history.
"Well, Irani it," wild Trunk, abrupty.
"I'm net nfrnld of losing my Inherit,
mice, for I'm In the direct Waring Hup
und she can't be."
