BYNOPSIS: Tht man she cla'ms a3 & brother enamored of her, fooking forwatd fo the day when gli¢ is quéen of the underworld as his wife. The knowledge—that is the new di- mma confronting Enid How- ard; of the Big Shot's love hor- riffes her. The gang leader tel's Enid of his love and that he int-nde to marry her. In Enid's room, they await a long dis- tanioe call from Martha Deb- hins, the childhood nurse of the Heward ohildren. Enid is hope- ful she may help prove the Big Shot is her brother. A call comes but it is for the Big Shot. Enid watches and listens as he takes down a coded mes- sage and then tells her of de- velopments. A gang war has flared. Enid receives a message for the Big Shot, warning him to look out for Twisty Morgan, rival gang leader. Chapter 28 A BLIND TRAIL A bell was ringing somewhere. Enid raised her head and listened. She brushed the tears from her eyes, and automatically put the re-| celver to her edar, It was central asking for her. “Martha!” ly. “Martha! Martha!

And, worse still, he believes that he\ is someone else.” For a moment, as though stunned into silence, Martha did not an-| swer; and theh Enld heard her cry out in mingled grief and pity: “Poor Roy! Oh, Miss Enid!” | “And I've tried to tell him qver and over agdin,” sald Enid brok-| enly, “that he is Roy; and I've tried | o prove it to him, and make him | belieye. But he won't believe.” “Child"—Martha's volce was siid- denly resolute and determlned—l “I'm coming right back home! Wit someone eclse besides yoursélf, with his old nurse to recognize him, too, he'll soon believe us. Don't you worry another moment about it, dear. I'll leave here tomorrow morn- ing.” “No"—Enid shook her iead pite- ously as though Martha could ac- tually see her—“that wouldn't do any good. He says he knows who he is, that he was born in Chicago, and that he could bring dozens of people to identify him who knew him there.” Again there was a pause. “Miss Enid"—Martha's voice came at last hesitantly and troubled “I-=1 don't seem to be able to quite un- derstand. It—it's so strange. Could —gould there be any chance, dear, that you have made a mistake, and that he is sbmeore else?” “Oh, Martha! How could 1? How could that be possible?” ,“Well," I haven't seén him, dear, and there are people, you know, who look very much alike. There haye been hundreds of cases of mis- taken identity.” + “Mistaken identity!” Enid's voice was low and trembling. “Yes, that is what he sdys. But it can't be! It couldn't be!” And then, faltering- ly: “Oh, Martha, do you think it could?” “Well, of course, as I siid, 1 haven't seen him,” Martha answer- esd soothingly; “but such a thing is possible. And then there are all these years that have gone by since he went away, and there is the war, too, to think of—there must be changes.
