The chair at the head of the table was drawn back and the fig- ire waited respectfully for her to occupy it. Peggy sat down, Point- |ing to a tall goblet by her plate, she glanced up. “Water, please,” she said, and caught a glimpse of swarthy skin and glowing eyes before the figure withdrew. A second later a large silver soup tureen was placed in front of her. “Miss Peggy, whar is yo'?” Julia’s hail came from the living room. “I am waiting for dinner.” And at the words Julia’s comely yellow face brightened. I ask Uncle Herbert's servant where the garage is' located and I will drive the car around there.” Julia started with alacrity for the {doer to which her mistress pointed. “Miss Peggy, dear, thar ain't no |light,” then as a surprised ejacu- |lation escaped Peggy: ‘“Comec an’ see fo’' yo'se’f, honey.” Peggy was at her side in a scc- 1ond. | “Feel on the wall and locale o light switch,” she suggested, run- |ning her own fingers up and dov just beyond the door jamb. Julia, however, touched the light switch first and they found them- selves in a large pantry; from it they went into a larger kitchen. Except for themselves the rooms were deserted. Swiftly they made a canvass of the entire first floor, and returned to the dining room. Returning to the living room they went outside and made quick work of closing the car windows and locking the doors. Neither lingered in the living room on regaining it, and without mention of their mutual desire to eat something, trudged upstairs. | “Here's the linen closet, Julia, Peggy said. “Make up the beds while I telephone Mr. Chase.” A branch telephone was in a cor- ner of the gallery close at hand and Peggy lost no time in getting the Cornwall telephone exchange. “Hello, operator,” she called as {the exchange answered. “This 1s thirty-eight ring five, Miss Prescott speaking, from Yew Lodge, Mo- hawk Pond. Please record this call as coming from here at 10:10 castern standard time. Have you done that? Thanks. Now put me through for New York City—Mr. { Philander Chase, Spring 326.” | masculine -voice answered. “Hello, Mr. Chase: I am here at Yew Lodge.” Peggys tone was low but every word was distinct. “The time is recorded at the Cornwall telephone lexchange, so that you can substan- tiate my statement officially for your court records. | “Any excitement, did you ask?"— [she hesitated—“I took the wrong |road and got lost; that's all. Good {night,” and she rang. off. Not until Julia was asleep in the small maids room next to hers did Peggy permit her thoughts to turn back to her entrance into her un- cle’s home—hers now, by right yof inheritance, provided she carried out Uncle Herbert's stipulations. And why shouldn’t she? She sat on the eage of her bed and ran her hand through her curly hair. Was the man she had taken for her uncle’s butler but a figment of her imagination? Mr. Chase said nothing of a caretaker, but surely one must have been left on the place. Not to reside there perhaps, but possibly to have quarters outside the Lodge—in a garage, or a near- by farmhouse. To leave such a home unguarded seemed incrediblz even if it was located in an inacces- sible and little known part of the sovereign state of Connecticut. No, it was entirely feasible that she had encountered a caretaker, who, for unknown reasons, had de- parted as quickly and mysteriously as possible. - But why disappear? And how? She rose and slipped on a kimono. ‘Walking softly so as not to awak- en Julia, she turned on the lights of the lving room from the switch on the second floor and sought the “Tomorrow’s Syles Today” May We Suggest!
