JARIS HAPP, a stranger, offers to help her. He sends her to a beauty shop where she is transform ed into a brunet, then takes her home, introducing her as his secretary. She meets Happ’s son, NORMAN; his stepson, ROBERT CAISE; MRS. HAPP; and VERA DU CHENE, Mrs. Happ's maid. That night a note under her door informs Millicent, “The woman in black ermine is here.” Millicent sees the wo man, tries to follow, but loses her. Millicent goes to the chauffeur’s quarters. The chauffeur is dead from a bul let wound, ¢ Next morning SERGEANT MAHONEY takes charge of the case. He questions Milli cent. Over the telephone Mrs, Happ learns that her 'husband has tbeen kidnapped. She is told she must not inform the police, Norman begs Millicent to tell him what she knows of the whole affair. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY i CHAPTER XXX Millicent piloted Norman Happ down the corridor to her room, elosed and locked the door. She turned, to face him, wondering where she should begin, and as she stared into his eves knew that it was going to be increasingly diffi cult to go through with the plan she had decided on. She realized that she valued the good opinion of this man very much, and she realized also that it was almost impossible for her to make an explanation which would be credible, The words of Robert Caise rang in her mind. She could explain away the facts connected with one murdeér, but how could she explain awy facts connected with two? Norman Happ saw something of what was going on in her mind. 1g it going to be hard to tell?” he asked. And, with his question, she real ized suddenly that she was going to tell him everything, that she was in such a hurry to know his reac tions that she could hardly wait for the words to formulate them selves, -#L am the girl the police are looking for for the Drimgold mur d.r." For a moment the full signifi cance of her statement didn't dawn on him. Then, as he grasped what she was telling him, his eyes show. ed incredulity. “You can't be,” he told her. “The newspapers described her. She's | blond. She's . ~ .* ] . ¥"No, no,” she said. “I am thel ’h‘l, Your father knows., He took me to a friend of his wno changed! my appearance and made me a{ brunet instead of a blond. I tell you I'm the girl. I worked for George Drimgold and . . .’ - Her voice trailed away into silen ce. It was going to be harder than she thought. -It took a moment for Norman Happ's mind to adjust itself to the situation, just as it had taken a moment to appreciate the signifi cance of what she was telling him, - Millicent saw his jaw set, saw his eyes take on a look of grim determination, For a moment it seemed as though her life force was o ling inside or her like mer_ cur dropping in a tube on a very eold night. Then, with the sound of his voice, she felt a surge of happiness. He said doggedly, “I don’t care what the facts are. wwver you did, you had soine reason for doing it. I'm going tol gtand back of you." " Mhat made it wonderfully easy. She poured forth her story in quick digjoifited sentences, not sparing herself for what she called her stupldity in running away from the scene of the crime. Then she went on, telling him exactly what had happened that night when she had gone to the garage, taken Bob Calge’s car and gone for the wild ride which terminated when she ran out of gas, "When she had finished Norman Happ moved nearer. He said, “You poor kid!” Before she realized what had ‘happéned his arms were around her and she was sobbing on his thoulder, sobs which seemed to drain worry and mental anguish from” her system. His hand patied her shoulder, &cheflk was against her halir. & could feel the roughness of his coat sleeve where it cirecled the back of her neck. Yet he made no attempt to hold her in a closer embrace. It was as - Three Minute . 7 ~ Relief From : - . . i Periodical Pains It is soo unecessary to suffer month aitsr month from inorganic pains, because “B.

Get ger, gs are sold. ( b s i though he realized the necessity for her. to relax completely, to feel that someone understood all her troubles. Slowly her sobs ceased. She drew back so that she could look up into his face. She smiled at him with eyes that were dimmed by toars, but which nevertheless sparkled with a new-found happi ress, 2 “Poor kid,” he said again, and patted her shoulder. “You’ve had a tough time” 4] guess,” she said, “it was more of a strain than I realized. I don't usually make a cry-baby of my self.” She could see his resentment of this criticism of herself. He said impatiently, “You're not a cry-baby and you're not to call your-self one. You've been through things few girls could have encured. You've been able to do it because you're such a clean, sweet, square-shoot ing kid.” . For a moment she saw the gleam of affection in hig eves. She found herself hoping he was going to take her in his arms again. But instead there came over his face a look of grim determinattion. “Look here,” he said, “we have to beat everyone to it.” ““What do you mean?”’ "I mean we have' to solve both of these murders before the police find out about you.” / “Oh, but they've already found out about me-—or they will.” " “What makes you say that?” “Bob Caise knows.” She saw swift jealousy on his faee and made haste to interrupt his thoughts. “ ¥No,c no, 1 didn't tell him. 1 haven't admitted it even yet, but‘ he knows, He was suspicious of) me from the first. He wondered why your father brought me here] and I think in some way he knew that your father was interested in the Drimgold murder. I don't‘ know whether he knew about your father -being in the building when‘ the murder was committed or not. At any rate he was suspicious and he took a photograph that had been published in a newspaper and darkened the hair. The re sult looked enough like me to con vinee -him that I'm the girl they're looking for.”™ “If he tells the police I'll Kkill him,"” - Norman Happ said. “l think he's already told them. He and -Vera Ducheng are work ing together. Theyv wanted me to swear -to something that was false.” s+ “What ?" ‘ “They 'wanted me to give Vera Duchene an alibi.” \ “Then she's the one who mur dered ' Felding,” he exclaimed. “No;-1I-don’t think she is. She fits into the picture some way, but I don’t know just where. I have an idea ‘Bob may think that she wis the -one:who murdered Feld ing. ‘You see, Imy fingerprints were on that- whisky flask. Detec tive Buchanar locked up the whis ky flask <in - your father’s study and reported to Sergeant Maho ney. Bob Caise thought the fin gerprints must be those of Vera Duchene, so he slipped into the study and smashed the flask.” Norman- Happ's eyes narrowed. “We've got to get to the W®ottom of this. thing;,” he said, “and the only way we can do ‘it is by find ing out where Bob and Vera fit into the -picture. Somecne mur dered . Drimgold. = Someone mur dered ‘Harry ¥elding. We have to find out who that someone was.” “You. :speak,” :she said, “as though it might be the same per aons” .. " ‘ . He blinked his eyes thoughtful iy and nodded slowly. “It isn't at all impossible,” he observed. “On the other hand we mustn’t make the mistake of ‘jumping at conclusions before we ihave enough facts to warraht them."” ' They were silent for a moment. Then Norman Happ went on with slow delbieration. *“The man was dead when you entered the room?” “Yes.” “You're certain?"” “Yes. I felt his wrist.” ¥And pou went to the bathroom and got a drink out of his whis ky flask?” ; I‘Y”'II “How much whisky was there in the flask?" ~ 5 “I don’t know. It was a little over half full, I guess.” She could see that he was driv g toward some point, but couldn’t anticipate what It was. “Do you remember the brand of whisky?” he asked, “Why, yes,” she said. “That was one of the things Detective Buchanan and Sergeant Mahoney were talking about. They said it was rather expensive and that it was a rather peculiar type of whisky for a chauffeur to be drinking.” . “What was the brand?” he ask ed her. “Buchanan wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to Ser geant Mahoney. I have the paper here in the drawer.” ~ ; She opened the drawer and handed him the folded piece of paper. He unfolded it and stared thoughtfully at it for a few mo ments. “Do you know what time it was when you got back?”” he asked. “No. I'm not certain. It wasn't very long before daylight.” “And the books Dad gaye you in the suitcase were stolen while you were gone?”, i “Yes. You see” she said, “when ‘that typewritten rhessage - was slipped under my door I. thought you were the one who_had written it. You see. we'd been -talking k’ ' this woman in the black ’ermhie coat, and . . {” He thrust the folded paper in his pocket. ¢ . “Come on,” he said. “You and 1 are going out and hunt clews.” “What do you mean?”’. “Just what 1 said. We're going to hunt clews.” “But what clews are we going to hunt?” ; “We're going to find out about that woman in the black ermine coat. We're going to find out about the car of which you have the license number. But first we're going to find out about that whis ky.” “What about it?” she asked. “Simply this: Harry Felding was at one time a heavy drinker. When he made up his mind he was going to cut out booze entire ly. He had never took a drink all the time he was working for Dad. What’s more, he never allowed any whisky in his place.” “If that's the case how did it heppen "that . .. .7 Millicest’s- voice ceased as she suddenly became aware of the full import of what she was trying to say. “Exactly,” Norman Happ said. “That whisky was brought into his place after he left, doubtless by the person who ¢ommitted the murder, It's an unusual brand. The probabilities are it was pur chased somewhere in the neigh horhood. We're going to find out who purchased it.” ¥ (Te Be Continued.) | MAN’S BODY FOUND | BROWNSVILLE, Texas — (#) — The body of Raymond S.

The politicians seem to be making fodder out of this matter and to hear some of them - tell it the country will go “Slam damn :to the devil” if the tax is not discon tinued. But no matter what hap pens to this tax all old John'Pub lic wants is three . ‘“squares” a day. o $ See where they had a real. old timé hanging up in the Blue Grass state of Kentucky the other day. Thousands of people gathered for the occasion and before the 'pris oner went to " his doom he har rangued the crowd with many.de nials of his crime dnd accused the officials of sending an innocent man to death. This was the first riblic execution in the state with in 25 years and the people made it a holiday event. It is”strange how people find pleasure in such morbid things, but:such is the at titude of the average person. . Here is the latest snake story: Mrs. Lit Howard,, when a girl living in Morgan county, found & long black snake in a hen’s nest ‘at the home of her parents—a rep tile that must have been six feet long—and discovered that it had swallowed twenty or more eggs due to be ‘hatched out the next day, and 'the ‘glass egg also. She seized the snake, took it to a block and cut its head ~off, gave it a good shaking, - and every one of the eggs were recovered. She took the eggs, washed them off, put them back under the hen, and every one of them produced a chicken next day on schedule time. . . . Now you tell - one. (Editor's Note: What's the use ) The latest proposal for ending the depression is a “technotax.” We never heard of the word Dbefore. which is nothing new, but accord ing <to ' Representative John H. Hoeppel of California, it means “tax the machines according to the workers displaced.” With all the labor saving devices this seems to be a pretty good idea, It is always a task to read the menu in one of these ritzy hotels or cases. ’ ‘A ritzy London hotel had the fol- | lowing words on its menu the other‘ day: “Consomme -de Kangarou au madere.” After the customers went into tantrums and tore their hair over the meaning of the words the chef was called in and he in formed them that it was nothing more than French for Kangaroo tail soup. So now when you take that trip to dear old England re member not to fling a fit when the waiter asks you if you will have “consomme de kangarou au ma dere,” just remember it is soup made from the tail of that famous Australian -marsupial. ! (Editor's note: You can look up Marsupial yourself.) The Athens Garden club willl have a flower show next month.| With all the vari-colored blooms ‘now appearing in the gardens of the' various flower growers we know the show will be a.success.
