Say, I guess I'm telling things Walter wouldn’t like!” h, no, assured her, “it's all in the family! You're at home now, safe and sound.” She leaned back in her chair, her lifted eyebrows her only signal to Frank. He saw that he had learned all that was advisable for the pres- ent, and began to plan for their ar- rival in Los Angeles. “You'll go to the Ambassador, Cynthia?" “I think so, Frank. I have always been comfortable there. John Carr ought to arrive tomorrow or the next day. I am eager to see him.” “Then I'll put you in a taxi and go strajght to the office,”” Frank agreed. “Burns will be waiting for me, I know. I'll telephone you if he has had any news from Carr.” He wanted to add: “And Gaines!” but he did not dare. ‘Wherever Walter had found this girl, it was evident that her own suspicions were aroused. Miss Cynthia Reynolds was not sure of herself. It had disturbed her to be removed from Walter, and he would uhdoubt- edly make every effort to get her again into his clutches. Could Cynthia’s wits match his? Frank thought so. He marveled at her quick grasp of the situation, her pla ing so successfully into Walter’ hands. Frank had almost been de- ceived himself. She was a gallant fighter, this woman whom the older Reynolds had loved so devotedl the child? What part had she play For what reason had Kdmund Reynolds been willing to abandon his daughter as dead, then make her a prominent part of his will? The ugly doubfs that would creep in, no matter how hard he tried to vanquish them, struggled uppermost. Cynthia was the mother of a daughter, bui was Edmund Reynolds her father? Frank studied the face of the widow with its delicate, high-bred featu sensitive lips, the eyes as deep a | th MONDXY, OUTOBER 4 the sea and as blue, the slender, graceful figure, the exquisitely shaped hands, white and soft, and suddenly his mind flew back to the scene in the sleeping car, so vividly described by Paul. “A slim woman's hand, very, very white, upon the curtain of the berth opposite, and upon the finger a ring with the strangest ruby I have ever seen.” He sat alert in his chair, every nerve on edge as he retraced his steps through that night and day in Los Angeles, the police court, the lapidist, the report that the Salvation Army officers had gone to Santa Bar- bara in a car belonging to Mrs. Butler Rogers. nthia,” he leaned forward and ‘whispered as the girl went in quest of ice water, “you are Adjutant Gabrielle?” . he blanched a trifie, but her eyes did not waver. “Yes,” she whispered back. Frank felt as if he had been dealt a knockout blow. His mind at first refused to believe the appalling reve- lation. Yet no doubt remained that ‘vnthia believed her daughter still ive, had brought Carolita from the Argentine, and, assisted by Gaines and her own disguise, had attempted to guard her from Walter during the perilous journey west. She had wanted Paul to be upon the train in case of emergency. She had wired to the, Los® Angeles attorneys to come to him when he had appeared to be in a dangerous position. All this was as clear as a Summer’s day, yet where did it lead? Who was ilana?” What part did he play? Where had he taken the girl? Could she be recovered? The rings also entered into the sit- uation, and the more Frank pondered the more convinced he became that the white hand upon the berth cur- tain belonged to Cynthia. It was ske who had stolen the ring from about Milana's neck, either losing it under t of No. 3 or hiding it there on purpose. That the rings were the identification necessary to prove the girl’s claim to the estate he did not doubt, and Paul had deposited them both in the Reynolds’ locked box. Another inexplicable complication was Cynthia’s failure to make herself known to Paul and hirsel, What lay behind such an evasion? What did she fear?

Cynthia leaned back against her chair, limp and white. He had not the heart to add to her burdens. She was playing a trying role, and he must move Heaven and earth to sustain rather than to discourage her. And now another question presented itself. Had Cynthia a plan, unknown to him, of getting rid of Walter's girl? She had successfully evaded Walter. In fact, she had been successful in evading them all. The journey from Santa Barbara had never seemed so endless, and Frank put the two Cynthias and their bags iInto a taxi with a sense of infl- nite relief, directing a second cab to rush him to his office, certain that Burns would have spent such an im- portant Sunday downtown. “Extry! Extry!” the shrill cries of newsboys sounded above the din of the traffic. Automatically he reached out his hand for one and read: “Kidnaped Reynolds heiress found by Walter Reynolds in time to share estate!” Frank strode into the office and found Burns standing in the middle of the floor, a yellow newspaper sheet in his hand, while at his side stood Bergen chewing a cigar. “Well,” Burns questioned eagerly “you came to town with Cynthia and the girl?’ “Yes. “Then for God's sake where is Paul?” (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) - Wife Auction in England. Mary Ann Thompson was the last wife to be sold at public auction in England, the “sale” taking place at Carlisle in April, 1832—not yet a cen- tury since the sale of wives was con- ducted in “Merrie England.” She was the spouse of a farmer, Joseph Thompson, and they had been married about three years when her husband_decided to sell her on the auction block.
