“Je RED HOUSE MYSTERY. ¥ AAMILNE ® W31 5 ¥ Dullon Company (Continued From Our Last Issue) “Cayley asked us to bring a letter along,” Blll explained to Betty Calla- dine. “Here you are." “You will tell him, won't you, how dreadfully sorry I am about—about what has happened? It seems so hopeless to say anything;, so hopeless aven to belleve it. If it {s true what we've heard." Blll repeated the outline events of yesterday, “Yes, And Mr, Ablett hasn't been found yet?" “No. She shook her head in distress. "It still seems to have happened to some- hody else; somebody we didn’t know at all.” Then, with a sudden grave smile which included both of them. “‘But you must come and have some of the “It's awfully decent of you, Bill awkwardly, “but we—er- You will, won't you?" she sald to Antony. ' “Thank you very much.” Mrs. Norbury was delighted to see tHem, as she always was to see any man in her house who came up to the necessary standard of eligibllity, ‘When her life work was completed, and summed up in those beautiful words: “A marriage has been ar- ranged, and will shortly take place, between Angela, daughter of the late John Norbury . ."" then ehe would utter a grateful Nunc dimittis and depart in peace—to a better world, if Heaven insisted, but preferably to her new ‘son-in-law's more dignified es- tablishment. But it was not as “eligibles” that the visitors from the Red House were received with such eagerness today, d even if her special smile for ‘‘possihles” was there, it was instinc- tive rather than reasoned. All that she wanted at this moment was news —news of Mark. TFor she was bring- ing it off at last; and, If the engage- ment columns of the ‘“Morning Post’ were preceded, as in the case of its cbituary columns, by a premonitory tulletin, the announcement of yester- day would have cried triumphantly to the world, or to such part of the world as mattered: “A marriage has very lately been arranged (by Mrs. Norbury), and will certainly take place, between Angela, only daughter of the late John Norbury, and Mark Ablett of the Red House." The girl was often amused by her mother’'s ways; sometimes ashamed of them; sometimes distressed by them. The Mark Ablett affair had seemed to her particularly distressing, for Mark was so obviously in league with her mother against her. It was a pleas- ure to turn to Cayley, the hopeless in- eligible. But alas! Cayley had misunderstood her. 8he could not imagine Cayley in love—until she saw it, and tried too laté, to stop it. That was four days ago. ' Bhe had not seen him since, and now here was this lettter. She dreaded opening it. It was a relief to feel that least she had an excuse for not doing so while her guests were in the houge. Mrs. Norbury recognized at once that Antony was likely to be the more sympathetic listener; and when tea was over, and Bill and Angela been -dispatched to the garden, dear Mr. Gillingham found himself on the sofa beside her, listening to many things which were of even greater in- terest to him than she could possibly have hoped. “It is terrible, terrible,” *“And to suggest that dear lett—* Antony made suitable noises. “You've seen Mr. Ablett for your- self. A kinder, more warmhearted man—"' sald she said. Mr. Ab- Antony explained that he had not| seen Mr. Ablett. “‘Of course, ves, I was forgetting. But, believe me, Mr. Gillingham, you con trust a woman's intuition in these matters.” Antony said that he was sure of this. “Think of my feelings as a mother.” Antony was thinking of Miss Nor- tury's feelings as a daughter, and wondering if she guessed that her affairs were now being discussed with a stranger. Mark engaged, or about to be engaged! Had that any bear- ing on the events of yesterday? ‘What, for. instance, would Mrs. Nor- bury have thought of brother Robert, that family skeleton? Was this an- other reason for wanting brother Robert out of the way? “I never liked him, never!" “Never liked—?" said Antony, be- wildered. ‘*That cousin of his—Mr. Cayley.” “How did Miss Norbury get on with him?” Antony asked cautiously. ‘‘There was nothing at all,” said Miss Norbury's mother emphatically. “Nothing. I would say so to any- body."” “Oh, I beg your pardon. meant—" “Nothing. I can say that for dear Angela with perfect confidence. Whether he made advances—'". She broke off with a shrug of her plump thoulders. Antony waited eagerly. “Naturally they met. Possibly he might have—I don't know. But my duty as a mother was clear, Mr. Gil- lingham.” Mr. Gillingham made an encourag- ing noise. “T told him quite frankly that—how I never Pesky Devils Quietus | P.D.Q. 7 P.D.Q, Pesky Devils Quietus. {8 the nameof the new chemical that actually ends the bug family, Bed Bugs, Roaches, Ants and Fleas, as P.

"“You mean,” sald Antony, trying to speak calmly, “that you told him that —er—Mr. Ablett and your daugh- ter—17" Mrs. Norbury nodded several times. “Exactly, Mr. Gillingham, I had my duty as a mother” “There must have been a certain awkwardness about the next meeting," suggested Antony. ‘Naturally, he has not been here since. No doubt they would have been bound to meet up at the Red House sooner or later."” "Oh, this was only quite lately?" “Last weeck, = M Gillingham. spoke just in tim “Ah!" sald Antony, under his breath, He had been walting for it. He would have liked now to have gone away, so that he might have thought over the new situation by himself. But Mrs. Norbury was stil) talking. “Girls are so foolish, ham,” she was saying. “It is for- tunate that they have mothers to guide them. It was so obvious to me from the beginning that dear Mr. I Mr Gilling- il é / “THINK OF MY FEELINGS AS A MOTHER.” Ablett was just the husband for my Iittle girl. You never knew him?"

Antony was about to snatch the opportunity of lcaving, when Mrs. Norbury began again. “And then there’'s this scapégrace brother of his. He was perfectly frank with me, Mr. Gillingham. He told me of this brother, and I told him that I was quite certain it would make no difference to my daughter's feelings for him. . After all, the jbrother was in Australia’ “When was this? Yesterday?”" An- tony felt that, if Mark had only men- tioned it after his brother's announce- ment of a personal call at the Red {House, this perfect frankness had a good deal of wisdom behind it. “It couldn't have been yesterday, Mr. Gillingham. Yesterday—" she shuddered, and shook her head. “I thought perhaps he had been jdown here in the morning.” “Oh. no! There is such a thing, Mr. Gillingham, as being too devoted a lover. Not in the morning, no. We toth agred that dear Angela— Oh, no. No; the day before yesterday, when he happened to drop in about tea-time." It occurred to Antony that Mrs. Norbury had come a long way from her opening statement that Mark and Miss Norbury were practically en- gaged. She was not admitting that| dear Angela was not to be rushed, that dear Angela had, indeed, no heart for the match at all. “The day before yesterday. | happened, dear Angela was out. Not that it mattered. He was driving to Middleston. He hardly had time for a cup of tea, so that even if she had been in—" Antony nodded absently. This was something new. Why did Mark go to Middleston the day before yesterday? But, after all, why shouldn't he? A hundred reasons unconnected with the death of Robert might have taken him there He got up to go. He wanted to be alone-—alone, at least, with Bill. Mrs. Norbury had given him many things to think about, but the great out- standing fact which had emerged was this: that Cayley had reason to hate Mark. Mrs. Norbury had given him that reason. To hate? Well, to be jealous, anyhow. But that was enough. “You see,” he said to Bill, as they walked back, “we know that Cayley is perjuring himself and risking himself over this business, and that must be for one of two reasons. Either to cave Mark or to endanger him. That is to say, he is eithet whole-heartedly for mim or whole-heartedly against him. Well, now we know that he is against him, definitely against him."” They had come to the gate into the |1ast fleld which divided them from the road. “Jolly little place, isn't EflL “Very.

Strikers Returning. Stranded. Santa Fe trains were moved out of Albuquerque, N. M., and trainmen at Prescott, Ariz., noti- fied Santa Fe officlals that strikers would return to work. These moves followed earlier developments towards ending the tle-up on the Santa Fe, The Union Pacific's traffic knot un- ravelled rapldly after trainmen on the| Las Vegas division called off their strike. Other western roads restored transportation activities to the basis Which had been in effect since the shopmen'’s strike began, July 1. Tentative agreements looking to- ward an end to the trainmen's strike on the Cumberland Valley division of the Louisville and Nashville were an- nounced at Corbin, Ky. With the train service breaking up in other sections of the country train- men who interrupted traffic on . the Missouri Pacific at Van Buren, Ark., refused to return to work while guards remained on duty in the yards. Fruit Shipments Begin. Settlement of the trouble with the trainmen resulted in an immediate movement eastward of fruit shipments and other perishable frelght marooned in Californa. Bombs were thrown at a Santa Fe train which left San Bernardo for the first time in six days. The first bomb exploded in the railroad yards and two more were hurled at the passen- ger train as the engine wheels spun over oiled rails in pulling out of the city. Killed by a Guard.

Police took up the trail of two men who are said to have attacked her. James Lewis, a striking Pennsyl-| vania railroad machinist, was shot to death by Charles Parsons, a wealthy real estate man at Cape Charles, Va., following a dispute over the strike. Lewis accused Parsons of ‘“listening over' the shoulders of strikers when they gathered to discuss the strike. Troops remained on guard in vir- tually all places where soldiers were | sent to quell riots earlier in the strike. Troops Are Asked for Local authorities asked for troops at Spencer, N. C., where shop work- ers were routed by strike sympa-| thizers. Major Stiles in command of troops at Clinton, Iil., recommended martial law following renewed disturbances in which several men were injured. An attempt was made to blow up the tracks of the Louisville-and Nashville raflroad at Birmingham and a plot to wreck a train on the same road at Mobile was discovered while the| home of an L. and N. employe was attacked by bullets and bombs.

A few months ago Rizzo obtained employment the railway police force for Langlitz. T.ast Monday the lieutenant sold Langlitz a .45-calibre automatir. Subsequently Langlitz had trouble with the pistol, and yester- day, when the two met in the freight vards of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railway here, Langlitz asked his friend to examine it.
