NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1926. t are crowded. uicksands of Love Adele Garrison’s'New Phase of | Revelations of a Wife—— An Astonishing Revelation About Mrs. Baker Katherine and I looked at each other as Lillian put her question concerning Mrs. Baker, the obnoxi- ous tenant on the fourth floor of the apartment building in which we also were housed. With a depre- cating gesture of my hands toward Katherine, T dodged the answer, for she had a far better opportunity to observe the woman's movements than ha nurse e h ag! “but I think lately wcquired some absorbing interest outside this building, so that she isn’t haunting Mary's door every day upoh every conceivable excuse in the calendar. In fact, I haven't seen her tal to Mary but once or twice in weeks, and those were only casual en- counters. “For all small favors, Allah! praised,” Lillian satd. “T did not care at all for that odd friendship of hers and Mary's." “You'd care still less for it, it you gould see the lady's present stunt as 1 do often,” Katherine rejoined, and there was such distaste in her voice that Lillian looked at her with in- gerested surprise. But I knew what Katherine meant, indeed T had sha #d her reaction to hightly regime, so I m: ment, only smiled at Lilllan’s im- patient, “Well! you haven't been sworn to secrecy about it, have you? Let's hear it!” “It 1sn’t much to tell,” Katherine pald. Bbout eleven o'clock Mrs. Baker Eomes down the stairs, covered from Read to heels with a long old-fash- loned cloak she must have dug it sut of a plous grandmother's attic, be | “It's only that every night | |and with her head and face so | swathed in a silk scarf that you can | nd a peep of her straggling Sruv' and a peep of her traggling gray | hair.

My dear! she leaves the house in that outlandish rig every night at eleven and comes back any time between two and four in the morning.” Lillian was leaning forward with her elbows on her knees and her chin cupped in her palms, sure sign that she saw something in this n ration of Katherine’s which roused her trained analytical mind to ac- tion. She did not comment upon ¢'s final revelation, and the little nurse and I, knowing her hab- its so well, also forbore speech until she should have finished her mental when, at last, she breath, and, relaxin her chair, there was no hint in her voice of having reached any con- clusion save this je which she voiced with a short laugh. “She's probably acting as ‘h | ess at some cabaret,” said. ‘Some of ‘em are as old and u |as she is, every whit.” | Copyrigt by N 6 wspaper ire Inc Bammy Jay Follows Farmer Brown's Boy By Thornton W.

Elwell is an artist. He has a son, Jim, aged 5. Late that night twin girls are born to the woman, who dies without revealing her identity. The Elwells adopt the girls. The story then moves forward 18 years. The twins, now grow- {ing to beautiful womanhood, have been named Margaret and Eliza- [beth and nicknamed Rusty and Petty. America enters the World War and Jim Elwell enlists. Two nights before he leaves he discovers that one of the twins loves him and |that he loves her. He tells his mother this but does not tell her | which twin it is, as he wants her to love both of the twins equally while he is away. The day before he leaves, Jim !decides to take both the girls to st good time. They r the diamond ring their mother had worn when they were horn. NOW BEGIN THE STORY CHAPTER IX Prof Elwell had estimated the ne to he worth a thousand dollars at the time the twins were born but he knéw that diamonds had more | than doubled in value in the inter- [ vening 18 years, The ring was the | girl's joint legacy, and because of its heavy band and its unusually |1arge and peculiar setting he had always held the feeling that it might some day lead to the unraveling of the mystery attached to their birth. 1t was only one special occasions that either of them ever wore it. He placed the ring bestde Rusty's plate. “There you are, my dear, - and her hgnd a little pat, “the | reward of good work.” Rusty picked up the beautiful gem and looked at it with wrapt gaze. | That part of the ring surrounding | | the stone was so large as to give it | | an almost topheavy appearance.

She pressed it to her lips for an instant and then passed it across the | table to Jim. | You wear it fivst, big fellow.” | panied her words was like a free- | fice.

But they found no Richard await- ing them on their arrival. This was a grievous disappointment to which the three gave voice in three distinct and separate keys. “Well,” was Jim's final decision when it became evident that the | telegram had missed fire somewhere and he had failed to get any swer to a telephone call, “the quick- | est way to find out whether Dick is in Chicago or not is to get a taxi and shoot out to his aunt's place.” At the smart apartment building in upper Michigan avenue it was learned that Dick Canfleld had gone to New Yorlk to join his aviation unit and that his aunt had returned to her old home somewhere in Ver- mont. So the three from Camden- ville had recourse to their own de- vices that day for “secing life in a great city. “That's that,” sald Jim when he and his pals had re-entered their | taxi, “and now the next thing on the | program will be something cise. Aye, something else,” he grinned and looked mysteriously at his (wo com- panions. Both grinned in response, although onc of the twins, it might have heen noticed, blushed very hecomingly while the other giggled a Jittl tremulously. . . . Something like an hour afterward Jim engaged a room for the girls at a hotel in the Loop that they might remove the d of travel and freshen up a bit for luncheon.
