WALLOWED 0P Mrs WiLson \Wooneow KAUSTRATED BY RWSamrearirLe ©R2L BY BRENTANDS = ©128,8Y THE RIDGWAY CONPANY - e BEGIN HERE TODAY Hope Ranger, daughter of wealthy parents, disappears, after having luncheon at the Plaza with her best friend, Lucia Thorne, Hope prom- fses her mother that she will phone to her from her tallor's at 3 o'clock, Evening comes with no word from Hope, Mrs, Ranger feels alarmed and ealls Hope's father from a dinner engagement, At first Mr, Ranger has no misgivings but, after it seems im- possible to find trace of his daughter through her many friends, he too feels alarmed, Ranger calls itice High his at. | torney, who Is a warm friend of the family, and asks his assistance in lo- | cating Hope, Highy goes to the| Thorne residence to question Lueia. | NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY It seemed for a time, though, that his promised interrogation of Lucia would have to be deferred; for on reaching the house, he rang repeated- | 1y without arousing any response, and when a sleepy servant finally appeared to answer the bell, it required all his powers of persuasion to gain admit- | tance, But when Mrs. Thorne came down and he had explained the nature of his errand, she readlly grasped the situation, and as soon as Lucia could make a hasty tollet, sent her into the | room alone. The girl, he had to confess, seemed appalled at the news her mother had brought her and genuinely alarmed for Hope's safety, Hope had been in fine spirits at luncheon, she said, and they had talked of a dozen things-—Lucla's re- cent trip abroad, clothes, mutual ac- quaintances ,both men and girls, their plans for the summer. She had teased Hope about two or three men, but Hope had merely shrugged her shoulders and laughed. “I'd be lone- some, Lucia,”” she had said, “if some one wasn't anxious to pet me; but marriage! [ haven't seen the man 1'd marry yet, not for a farm.” When they. parted, it was with an arrange- ment to see each other the next af- ternoon ,and Hope had given not the slightest suggestion of anything un- ual on hand . She had said some- thing about going to the tailor's, and possibly doing a bit of shapping be- fore she went home; that was all. This left Higby no récourse to ap- peal to the police; and here he proved himself, on one score at least, a true prophet. The five thousand dollars reward he offered furnished all the incentive required to set the depart- ment going at full steam. Within 12 hours the movements of Hope Ranger were known to a cer- tainty from the time she left her father's door at 25 minutes after 12 until a quarter past threc that after- noon. p Leaving home, she had waiked down the cast side of the avenue, At 15 minutes to one o'clock, she had gtopped at a forist's and hought a #gardenia; ‘hen she had crossed at Fifty-ninth sfpeet and met her friends at the Plaza, had gone with Lucia Thorne into the dining' room, re- mained there an hour ,and left the Thornes at 10 minutes past two. At half after two, she had bought a vell in a millinery and dressmaking estab- lishment on Fifty-seventh street, and had been recognized and called by name by the saleswoman, Irom there ghe had gone to a bookstore and asked for a book which she had pre- viously ordered. She was next seen at the soda- water counter of a fruit-and-sweets shop, where she ordered a maple sun- dae. It was then exactly 10 minutes after three, the clerk being able -to fix the time so definitely from the fact that just after he had set Miss Ran- ger's order before her, a disturbance had been created by a customer at the cashier’s desk over a question of correct change. The altercation had become so_heated that the manager of the plalle had been summoned. Miss Ranger, like every one else in the shop had turned to watch the in- cident, and then, when it 'had been gettled, she finished jper sundae and went out. And from that point, the investiga- tors ran into a blank wall. After four days of assiduous effort on the part of the police department, aided now by an army of private de- tectives, no clue had been unearthed to indicate what had become of her or whither she had gone. | Mrs. Ranger was by this time the care of physicians, ill from grief and worry; and her hus 1, his face lined and haggard, his straight shoul- ders bowed, looked 20 3 s older. Even Eustace Highy showed the| effects of the strain. In desperation they decided to make the facts public, and every| newspaper in the country was filled with deseriptions of the missing girl.

The visitor shifted his hat to an- other and more disreputable angle, took an old pipe from his pocket and began to fill it, “You're new here, my lad; that's plain, But, if you're in doubt take my name, either to Frank Bryan or Loring himself,” The guard scowled, but wavered in his decision to throw the man out. He trusted his own impressions more than he did this airy 'certainty of welcome. Yet the fellow seemed so confoundedly sure. He covered his hesitation with tru- culent repartee. ° “Well, s'posin’ T de? Who shall I say it is that wants the hoss—Lloyd George or Herpert Hoover?" “Neither.” The man flicked a raveling from his sleeve, “He'll probably see me quicker if you give it to him straight. Just say, my good man, that Jaurez Charlie is here. Juarez Caarlle! In the face of such a designation, Number One felt his original estimate of the man fully Justified. And yet there was some- thing in that dark ,obscure glance, in the jeering smile on the glib mouth that overrode his settled judgment. Uncertainly {he scratched his jaw. “I don't 'know but what I'll take a AN OLD RECIPE TODARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turms Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy. the man Almost everyone knows that Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to their hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trou- blesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for " th’'s Sage and Sul- phur Compound.” You wil] get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improv- ed by the addition of other ingre- dients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because ne one can possibly tell that you darken- ed your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. $ALESMAN $A GREBT S(0TT!I- THOSE SPONGES ARE WOATH 4| APIE(E.

"I know the way.” He passed on, a privileged char- acter, exchanging a word or two with different empioyes in the outer office and nodding familiarly to others; for, rolling-stone adventurer though he was, grafter and swindler as he was suspected of being, Jaurez Charlie was welcome here to come and go as he pleased. He and Loring Ranger had been boys together, More than once the successful manufacturer had urged his old as- sociate to take a position with him, offering Charlie his choice elther in- side the factory or on the road; for it was Ranger's firm belief that the vagabond, if he %vould only devote himself to it, would make an incom- parable salesman. But Charlie always efforts at rehabilitation. His: especial gifts were various; perhaps the less said about them the better.. He employed them when he felt like it and when opportunity of- fered; loafed when he felt like it; traveled constantly about the country —sometimes first-class, sometimes in the company of yeggs gnd hoboes— boasted that he had a more compre- hensive knowledge of the United Statés than any other man within its borders ,and regarded life on the whole with a cynical, good-humored philosophy which no exigency could daunt or misfortune overwhelm. There was an unwonted tug of sympathy at Charlie's wrinkled heart, and on a sudden impulse he stepped over and laid his hand on Ranger's shoulder. “Tough luck, Lorry!" he said huskjc ly. *“But don't give way like this, old boy. Brace up; it isn't as if your little girl were gone for good." The friendly touch, the sincerity of feeling in his tone brought an unex- pected response. A tremor ran through the manufacturer's bent frame; then, with a groan, he dropped his head in his hands. “It's no use, Charlie His voice came brokenly, “No use to try and deceive yourself. She is gone for good.” He turned away to hide his work- ing face, then twisted round and bhe- gan to talk rapidly. Here at last wag some one to whom he could lay bare al Ithat was in his mind. “Look at the facts, Charlle. . Look at the facts, It's a month yesterday since Hope went away—was taken away, I mean—and in all that time not a word from her—not a word of her.
