NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1623, " @mmmm LB BRINTANTS - BA1EL B THE RIDGWAY ComraRY, [ REGIN HERE TODAY Hope Ranger, daughter of Loring % , disappears after lunching at with her friend, Luecia . A hundred-thousand.dellar veward is offered by Hope's father for the return of his daughter. Eustice Highy, attorney and friend of Ranger, assists in the search. Juarer Charlle, adventurer, and life- long friend of Loring, comes with a Measage from Hope's abduetors, 1t is #ent to Charlie with Instructions to tell his friend to buy a hat for Hope and leave it at a specified place Charlle tells Loring that his daugh- ter is in the hands of & group of oriminals caled the Combine, Frank Bryan is Ranger's private secretary George Kelsey is detained at a private sanitarium, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY . It was disappointing for Kelsey to find that he had only a stray sheet of & Bunday supplement two or three weeks old, entirely taken up with the disappearance of a girl called Hoph Ranger and illustrated with pletures of her reproduced from photographs, paintings and sketches . The sense of some one being near Bim rather than the perception of an actual presence roused him finally from his brown study . A girl was standing a few feet away from him, regarding him steadily, her hands clasped before her, The Involuntary smile of recogni- tion died on his lips as he stood up, He had thought at first—a resem- blance only, but to whom? Where bhad he seen—recently? He graspen it. 'One of the nurses, Miss Copely. He had talked to her the day before. But he had now a swift impression of grace and charm, of a distinction which the nurse did not possess. “Good morning,” he broke the si- lence which was becoming awkward, “For a moment I thought you were Miss Copley.” “Did you?” she asked vaguely, Her wolce confirmed the impression of charm. It was warm, faintly vibrat- ing. @ “Miss Copley is a nurse here,” he explained. “‘She resembles you very much. I thought she might be your sister.” 8She came nearer him and sat down on the bench, motioning him to re- sume his seat. . "Are you a patient here, too?" Kelsey had an uncertain temper which he had taught himself to con- trol; but at ‘her question a flare of anger swept over his face, which slowly congealed to an icy repression. “Am I a patient?” He had turned 1n his seat, and she saw that the flame still lingered in his hot blue eyes. There were white dents about the corners of his mouth; his voice was “ rough; the inflections were satirical “Well, that is as you look at it. T was house physician here for a few weeks. 1 resigned—for reasons. My resignation was accepted and I packe "’ my things and prepared to leave. 1 needed a car to take me to the sta- tion, as it was some distance. There were polite excuses—all the cars were in'use. I started to walk, hoping I'd get a lift on the road; the gates were lccked. 1 atteupted to throw my hags over the wall and scramble after them." Two men closed in on me, I Jost ‘my head and struck.out, but they were too much for me. Our superin- tendent had grown so fond of me, you see, that he couldn't bear to part. So He elevated me to the rank of patient. I am still here—for the presen#.” “That means—you intend to away?”’ she leaned nearer him whisper. ~“I'm talking nonsense, he began stiffly; but she touched him lightly on the arm . “Dr. Bristow is coming,” she mur- mured, ‘‘Give me a pencil quick, and walt here. I will come back—if 1 can”" ‘Wondering alike at the quick el {n her manner and at the pur- pose of her request, he gave her the . pencil, and she moved away, to stand listlessly turning it in her hands and looking vacantly before her.

There was one fair story, though, of a little seamstress who fell in love with an actor's picture, He played Mercutio. That was one of your favorite parts, I believe,” “You're in one of your. inventive moods today,” Kelsey said insolently. “Have you entirely forgotten the hit you made in that part?” Bristow was now, as Kelsey expressed it to him- self, baiting him for fair. “Can't you recall the duel sé®ne where you stag- ger back into the arms of your sup- porters, the house still? 'Tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but ‘twill serve. A plague o' hoth your houses!' They the thunders of applause.” x Kelsey was a little pale from his effort at self-control, his mouth ‘was rigid. “Who that had ever lived through such an inspiring experience could torget it?” he murmured with cxag- gerated: enthusiasm. "Good!" Bristow's tone was gratti- fled. “You are coming along nicely, my dear boy.” ‘With a pleasant nod, he turned away and stepped back to the drive where his car was waiting. Kensey's face was black as he looked after him. Tost in his resent- ment and sense of injury, he had for- gotten the girl, It was with a start that he realized that she had come tack and was seating herself beside him, “Give me some paper,” she said im- peratively, Studying her, curious to see® what she would say or do next, Kelsey took a note-book from his pocket and tearing out a few sheets, handed them to her. Ste began to write—words, words, dots, dashes, anything. Her head was hent over the paper. Any one watching her would have thought her absorbed in her task. But, while she wrote, she talked in a rapid un- dertone. “You are an actor,” she said ac- cusingly. “I overheard some of the things he said to you. Perhaps you were only acting when you spoke of him to me “I never was an actor,” rupted harshly. “That’'s Bristow's little game, I am what T told you, George Kelsey, a physician who has specialized in mental diseases. But who are you? That's more to the point just now. I made a snap diag- nosig of you, when I saw you first, as a drug-addict—-your pallor, your eyes. But they don't admit them here, Amnesia, then? That means your memory of past events is blotted out. Yet L. don't believe, for all you say, that yours is even touched."” CHAPTER VIIIL. “I thought it might be. half- he inter- An attendant making his leisurely | rounds paused near the rustic bench on which Kelsey and the girl were sit- ting, and speculatively measured the distance between them and the wall with his eyes. men whe had hindered his egvess when he tessed his lugsege over the gate and attempied to climb after it; and meeting that heavy, susplelous glanee, lifted his brows and drooped his mouth simulating a bored and weary resignation which was further borne out by his inert, lounging at- , remembering a pain- 80 sustained In their imated encounter, twin- kled his small eyes, grinned and walked on, deriving a malicious pleas- ure from ignoring what he took to he Kelsey's 8 O 8, eall for relief, The girl paid ne attention to either of them.

London, Oct. 2.—Censorship in Ger- many, applying to the foreign corres- pondents as well as to the German newspapers has resulted in encourag- ing belief here that things in the Reich are going from bad to worse. Full details of the revolt at Kues- trin are la .ing, but reports received in London indicate the probability that affair was somewhat trivial. 1In any event, the character of Kruestrin, according to some of the commenta- tors here, would itself be of com- paratively small consequences. The town contains one of the chain of fortresses constructed many years ago to protect against a possible Russian advance and is of little modern mili- tary value, The chief anxiety of the moment continues to center in Bavaria where royalist sentiment is supposed to be moving rapidly toward the re-estab- lishment of the monarchy. 400 REBELS CAUGHT Germans Who Revolted Yesterday At Kuestrin Are Taken Prisoners and Are Disarmed. By The Associated Press, Berlin, Oct. 2.—It is officially an- nounced that the participants in the insurrection mt Kuestrin yesterday numbering about 400 men, have heen captured and = disarmed. The rebels lost one killed and several wounded. There were no losses among the gov- ernment forces. The troops ordered to Kuestrin as reinforcements are re- turnifig to thelr stations. In the opinion of officials here the revolt actually served a useful pur- pose inasmuch as it gave notice that the government was prepared to put down immediately any attempts at insurrection. Chancellor Stresemann uled to go beforc the Reic day to outline government policies in the Ruhr and Rhineland as well as its present position toward reparations negotiations.
