Mary Roberts Rinehart's
Thrilling Mystery of
"The Curve of the Catenary"
Continued from Saturday.
"If I was called," he said, "X had
tho outfit—professional dancer, ttnd
so on. But I wasn't called."
He walked straight to the women's
dressingroom. Can you beat it?
Sis turned and come back from the
window. "How did your brother get
the—loot?" she asked curtly.
He turned a bit surly at that. Evi
dently Martin's part still rankled. "He
was always hanging around," he said
bitterly. "He was In my room when
I got back to the hotel. He never
trusted me. He was full of the story
of the fellow on the taxicab, and I
suppose my face told him something.
He opened the suitcase and —"
"Took it away with him?"
"Yes."
"And the bracelet?"
"It fell out. He never saw It. X
kept it."
He gave it to Lottie. He was mad
about her. And she had worn it, al
though he had told her not to.
Cherchez la femme!
We sent for Martin soon after that.
My throat was hammering like a rivet
ing machine by that time, with my
head running it a close second.
I stood it out until Martin came to
the library door. He got the whole
situation in a glance, and walking
over, put his hand on his brother's
shoulder.
Then he turned and looked, not at
me, but at Sis. "Well?" he said.
I went upstairs and had a chill.
This is the first time I've told the
story. It can hardly hurt anyone now.
Anderson Is at the front In Flanders,
driving a biplane, and Martin is there,
too, running an ambulance.
He broke his engagement with
Hazel. I saw him Just afterward, and
he looked like a ghost. Poor Sis. But
even that may come out right, after
all. Sis gets a letter now and then
from France, and goes around for
days afterward with her face fairly
glorified.
Prosecute? Of course not. Sis and
I were the only ones who knew the
story, and believe me, we didn't feel
quite easy ourselves. It was Grayton
that was responsible, and Grayton ex
isted because well, because we had
to have things, or because the Mater
thought we did.
As Boon as the war orders had put
the business on its' feet again we got
at Grayton. We've got a prize offered
for the best garden, and you ought
to see what they're doing. My stenog
rapher's a Grayton girl, and every
morning there's a bunch of flowerß
from her garden on my desk.
We've got a park along the river,
with a bathing beach. We call It Mar
tin's Park. It was Sis's idea. Martin
was fond of youngsters. He used to
go down to the river front and teach
the kids to swim. Filthy water, but
all they had at the time.
Sis came of age last spring, and the
governor offered her a string of pearls.
I saw her go white, and she refused
them.
"I'd rather have the money. Dad,"
she said. Then she built tho park.
We've talked things over together
a lot, Sis and I. There were some
parts of the affair that we had to fig
ure out for ourselves. Martin, when
he came that afternoon, had not said
very much, except that ho had
thought that Anderson had left town
the night before.
Tho other chap had turned on him
nastily, Sis said.
"And left you with the stuff!" he
snarled.
But Martin had not taken his hand
off his shoulder. I'd have beaten him
up if I'd been In Martin's ohoes.
Well, we worked it out, Sis and I,
like this. Martin had taken the suit
case home and emptied it. Then he
put the jewels in his golf bag. I
suppose he hardly knew how to get
the things back to their owners, and
in the meantime they had to be hid.
WHY LET PIMPLES
hheni
Let Miss Shapley Tell How She
Got Rid of Them,
"My trouble first began with small
pimples which looked like blackheads.
Later they became large, and looked
§ awfully blue, and they
festered and came to a
' head and then scaled
over, and my entire face
became covered. They
tortured me dreadfully at
night, and they itched
and when 1 would scratch,
they burned something
terrible. My skin became
inflamed, and my face was a sight.
"I had the trouble five months before
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I
had only used two cakes of Cuticura
Soap and one box of Cuticura Oint
ment when I was completely healed."
(Signed) Miss Mary Shapley, 3436 E
St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 14, 1916.
Miss Shapley have been spared
this distressing skin trouble haa she
used Cuticura Soap on her face for every
day toilet purposes, touching the first
sign of pimples, irritation, redness or
roughness with Cuticura Ointment. No
more effective emollients exist.

He hit on a locker at the Country
Club. The lockers are only closed with
wire netting doors. That meant that
the bag would be Jn plain sight all
the time. /ou remember the "Pur
loined Letter?" Well, on that prin
ciple—place a thing in full view and
it will never be suspected.
But he had the suitcase on lils
hands. Maybe you think it is easy in
an apartment house to get rid of an
incriminating suitcase. Well, it isn't.
I tried to once, after a lark at col
lege, and I was pinched the minute I
threw it over the railing of the bridge.
They had divers after that suitcase
for days, and when they found it and
it was full of empty beer bottles I
darned near got a sentence for false
pretense!
We had to guess how Martin got the ;
suitcase to tlio house on the hill. I I
couldn't ask Hazel without telling her |
the story, and I wouldn't do that. She
has never known it.
Anyhow, we thought It likely that
Anderson suspected where he had sent
it, and we haven't much doubt that he
was the Blithe Bandit. Seems likely,
doesn't it?
Why Martin took the blame as he
did puzzled us a lot. But Sis says—
and as I've said before, she doesn't |
reason, she feels—that when Ander- I
son's successor arrived he probably >
left town, or pretended to. And Mar- ,
tin was simply giving him time to
! make a getaway.
Well, that's about all. We're work
| ing like blazes on the war stuff. I'm j
too busy to go to lunch at the club ;
any more. Did you ever see a shell |
made? It's beautiful work. We do
the whole thing, make the steefc roll
it, cut it and then send it into the ]
machine-shop and finish it, nose and ,
all. Pretty ? You to see a lot ;
of them irf a row, ready to go out.
When I get any time I go up to the
house on the hill. The old man is in- j
venting a new sort of shrapnel, and
we spend hours arguing about it.
Sometimes he drops to sleep—he's
pretty old. Then Igo out and sit with
Hazel under the arbor. It's late spring
now, you know, and you ought to
the way that grape vine is growing.
I don't know that I ever thought
about a grape vine before, unless
that it produced something whose
ultimate destination was a bottle.
Hazel is not in the office. Her
father has a pension, and somebody
died and left them enough to live on.
I asked her last night if she didn't
sometimi wish she were back.
"You could scold me, you know," ;
I said, "and send me out to play when
I bothered you."
"I don't think you play very much J
now."
By George, when I got to thinking
about it, I didn't!
"When did you hear from Martin?"
I said, in an offhand way. She'd '
i never known the story, as I've said,
and I know he wrote to her now and
then. I wondered what she made of
his going away. We'd never discussed |
it.
"Not lately. I wrote to him some
time ago, and he replied. I—Ollte, i
I'm not-going to marry him."
I sat up. Had she learned any
thing?
"Why not?" I said. My hands were |
cold.
"I didn't care enough. When he I
was here I thought I did. I did care, |
too, Oflle. But when he was gone, and
I tried to think about him I couldn't
see him. Do you know what I mean? I
I could remember what he had said I
and what he had done. But not how j
he looked. It I'd really cared it
wouldn't be like that, would it?"
"I don't know, Hazel," I said. I
guess my voice was shaky, all right.
I've only got to close my eyes to see
you. I know the very way you move '
your hands and hold your head. I've i
got my eyes closed now, and still I
see you."
"As I look now?"
"I'll tell you what I'm seeing, if
j'ou want to know. I'm seeing you
that morning in the park, all pale and '
tired. You poor little kid." I
"Don't. I want to forget it."
"And I'm seeing your sewed eyes I
that night when I lighted a match,
and you saw that my face was cut." I
Maybe my voice startled her, for '
she tried to laugh. "What am I doing
now,' she asked, "you with your i
second sight?" !
"You are reaching out your hand
for me to hold," I said.
By Jove, she did it, and because I'd
[cared for her a long time, and had
never had any hope until then. I
squeezed it until I hurt her. The next i
rninute I had her in my arms, and a
fool with a searchlight on a steamer
had turned it on us.
Let them look," I said, without re- !
easing her. "You're not ashamed of
it, are you?"
"Certainly not." she replied. And
In the full glare of the searchlight
I kissed her.
The steamboat whistled!

CROP ESTIMATES
SHOW HEAVY DROP
Department of Agriculture
Fall Summary Tells of De
clines Generally
September reports to the statistical
bureau of the State Department of
Agriculture show that early estimates
on the wheat, rye, buckwheat, corn and
oats crops were too high and that
weather conditions interfered material
ly with the yields, although a couple
of the crops were better than the ave
rage for the last ten years. None, how
ever, came up to the record-breaking
crops of last year, oats alone being
nearly 11,000,000 bushels short of the
yield in 1915.
These reports are made by experi
enced crop observers and represent the
conditions in each township, most of
them being made upon personal visits
to farmers. At the present the farmer*
of Pennsylvania will reap fine returns
from their slaplo crops this year.
The wheat crop is now estimated at
25.070.500 bushels against 24.928,000 last
year. It was expected that because of
increased acreage the yield would be
larger. The average production per
aero Is given as 1)1.8 bushels against
19 last year.
Rye Is calculated at 4,495,400 bushels
compared to 4,672,000 last year, the
yield per acre being somewhat below
that of 1915.
The oats crop Is estimated at 32,-
571,000 against 43,095,000 last year. The
191S crop was a record-breaker, the
acre yield being about 39 bushels. This
year It was 31.
Late estimates put the buckwheat at
4,200,000 bushels while 5,540,000 is the
figure for 1915.
A corn crop of 47,500,000 bushels is
predicted. 4 Last year It was 54,792,000.
Many ears are reported as poorly filled.
The southern tire counties of Lancas
ter, York, Adams, Franklin and Ful
ton are reported as having the best
crop.
