Claire" before she let herself begin picking It to pieces. Tills treacherous trick that some man had played upon her father, in order to make himself rich had such a thing ever happened? In itself, It sounded fishy. Her fa-ther had never told her anything specific about his affairs, but she knew he must have been trying to discover or to Invent something. The man might have stolen her fa-ther's discovery if her father had ever succeeded In making it But he hadn't succeeded. He'd gone on hoping to make it right up to the day he died. When she reread the Injunction not to answer any communication of any sort, the heavily under-scored words flashed like a real danger signal. The "communica-tion of any sort," was the adver-tisement for Khoda McFarland. She knew who the woman was now; the woman Martin had tried to tell her about last night who'd Cleveland, and ! thought she might be the person you told me about" Be asked three questions, all In a breath. "Why did you think she was? What did she say she wanted? Have you got her letter here with you?" She answered them, still trying to be cool about It, in reverse order. "No, naturally not I put it away. Why, she said that a couple of years before my father died she'd given him a paper to take care of for her, and that now she needed It terribly, and she thought I might be ai.le to help her find It I don't know exactly why I thonght she might be the woman you told me about" "Well, she Is, all right Anybody could see that." This, the reflected, was as much as to say that she was a fool not to have seen It for herself at the first glance. Be really was Infuri-ating. He was staring at her now In a blank abstraction, as If he didn't know she was there. When he waked up It was to ask further questions. "What does she ask you to do? Let her come and see you and go over your father's papers and pick out what stie likes?" "AH she asked me to do," Rhoda told him. resolved to stifle ber wrath until she burst, "was to come and lunch with her at he Tip-To- p Inn today as soon after twelve as I could, so that she could tell me all about It. And before 1 went I thought I'd ask you to tell me . . ." "Rhoda, you're not going?" He had tliad the grace to put an upward quirk on that last word to make It sound like a question, but he'd started, she thought to tell her she shouldn't WHAT WENT BEFORE At a dines Martin Forbes, newspaper reporter, meets "Rhoda ' White." He overbear! a convene. tlon between Mas Lewie and woman which he believes eon eerna Mhcda. He recalls a "blind ad" Inquiring tor "Khoda Mc Par-lan- d" and senses a newspaper story. He bellevea that Rhoda's real name Is McFarland. She re-fuses to admit or deny It, but Martin was right. Her life In California had been happy after her mother's death until misfor-tune overcame her father. Pro-fessor McFarland. They move to Chicago.

CHAPTER III Continued 5 "I want to tell you one other thing I did this morning, Rhoda," he went on, and this brought her focused Inquiring look back to his face. "I got them to look up, In the want-a- d file, the real name of the man who's been advertising for the addresa of Rhoda McFarland. It's the same man. Charles J. For-ste-r. C. J.' do you see? The man the rest ol the evening If you'll let me say Just one thing first" She considered this request a little dubiously, but finally said, "All right; Just one, though." "If you're really eighteen years old . . ." "I really am," she Interrupted, "almost My blrthdny'e In two weeks October thirty-firs- t ; Hal-loween, it Is." "Hurrah !" he said. "We'll have a party) Well then, on Halloween you'll come of age and you'll have no more reason to be afraid of your uncle than I have. He'll have no more authority over you than he'll have over the king of England. And even In the meantime I don't see that he could do very much. That's all. Now let'a go to the Alhatnhra. And heaven help Lennder Biggins, or anyone else who tries to cut In on us tonlghtl" Downstairs In the tiny vestibule she noticed that there were some letters In their mall-box- . The post-man had come, she remembered, while they were so excited about the burglur that they both forgot to go down and get the mall. She didn't want to be bothered with tt now, though. All abo wanted to do was dance. She forgot the letters again when she came home from the Alhambra, hut Mnrtln rpmnmharArl thorn an1 went downstairs with the key to bring them up. When he came back he'd merely said, after look Ing at her a minute, "Good night. Rhoda," and gone away, although the Idea of a kiss had hung pal pably between them fo an Instant. She wouldn't have minded his kiss-ing her good night, but she got a real thrill out of the fact that he didn't although he evidently want-ed to. She realized that when he did kiss her he'd menn more by It, and there was a touch of real Scotch thrift about Rhoda that ap-preciated the economy. It was the same quality In her that made her put off letting her-self drift away Into a pleasant day-dream over the hours Just possed until she should have finished her evening tasks and got Into bed. Oth-erwise she wouldn't have looked at the letters at all. One of them was addressed. In an angular feminine hand she didn't know, to her, "Miss Rhoda White." It was with a rather In-different feeling of perplexity that she sliced rmen the envelone. But It Was Annoying to Have Har Thunder Stolen Like That been afraid she would answer the advertisement in the paper before they had time to take whatever steps they meant to take. She wished she remembered better wlin t Martin hud told her. Who was the man Claire wanted to force to make- - things right "as far as money could make anything right"? (The slimy hypocrisy ef that afterthought turned Rhoda a bit sick.) Wasn't he most likely the Mr. Forster whose advertlse- - they were talking about last night" The flash of Incipient pain he'd seen In her face changed to a look of mere perplexity before he fin-ished speaking. "But I don't know who he Is I" she told him vehe-mently. Then, suddenly, Intent she asked, "Did you do anything else?" "There was only one thing left to do, and that was to look him up and ask him why he was advertis-ing for her. And and I didn't want to do that unless you said you wanted me to." "You might have asked hltn," she said. "After what I told you last night you might have argued that It was no affnlr of mine what you found out about her. Rut I'm glad you didn't I'lease don't do It, Mar-tin. Let me tell you a little, and then don't try to find out anything more. "I'm Rhoda White now but I used to be Rhoda McFarland. The only person who'd try to find me would be my uncle, William Royce. Mr. Forster must be working for him. He frightened me so when I was a little girl that I've never got over being afraid of him. He was cruel to my father and wanted to take me away from him then. We ran away so that he couldn't "I was only sixteen when my fa-ther died and I was afraid that If Uncle William heard about It and knew where I was, he'd get me, then. There wasn't any one else, you see. So I changed my name and pretended I came to Chicago from Denver, and got a Job on the News. "And, Martin, I've loved It I've loved It all. The whole two years. I've been happy. And I don't want anything changed. Ton won't do anything to change things, will you?" She was looking rather blurred and he blinked In order to see her better. "No, I won't do anything yon don't want me, to," he said. Then he did a little rudimentary arithmetic "If that was two years ago you're only eighteen now." "Do you mind?" she asked him seriously. "No," be said, "I don't mind at all." After a while she said, "Ton must "Of course I'm going," she said. "She may be all right even If she Is the woman yon heard talking to Mr. Lewis. Anyhow, I'm going to find out." "Ton won't find out a thing from her. That woman's clever, Rhoda. and she's dangerous. You'd better let her alona You'd better let her alone. Why, she's got you half fooled already." At that, since it wasn't feasible to shake him till his teeth rattled, she turned and left him with a rnsh. Unreasonably she wns a little dis-appointed that Mnrtln was no-where about not even In the offing, when she set out at noon to her rendezvous. She mustn't waste time thinking about him now, though except as a warning not to lose her temper again. Her only reason for going to lunch with the woman was, as she had told Mar-tin, to discover what It was all about; why these people she'd nev-er henrd of before wouldn't let her alone. She'd get nowhere by act-ing suspicions or by asking skepti-cal questions. The more confident-ly this Claire Cleveland took her for a light-wi- t the more she'd be likely to give-awa-y. CHAPTER IV Martin Was Right. THE first thought that flashed her mind when she saw the woman who was sitting at the specified table was that there must be some mistake about It Noting the hlark tint and the dark blue dress didn't altogether do away with It, either. She'd expected a very different-lookin- person. This woman looked rather nice. She hnd delicate features and blue eyes, and you'd guess hct age In the early twenties well, twenty-fiv- e or not mnch over. The Instant she saw Rhoda she got up and came around the table to meet her. "I'd know you any-where. Miss McFarland !" she snld. "I was sure I wasn't mistaken. You're your father's daughter, all right." There flashed Into Rhoda's mem-ory something Martin hnd said about the woman at the Alhambra: ment she wns not on any account to answer? Wasn't he the "C. .1." whom Mnrtln had heard them talk-ing about? Well, one thing wns settled, any-how. She'd see Martin and get the details all straight before she went to lunch at the Tip-To- p Inn. If he happened to be wnltltig ngnln at the foot of the elevated stairs that would make everything easy. Martin was waiting nt the foot of the elevated stairs, but beyond thnt point, everything In Rhoda's program went as badly as possible. To begin with, she and Babe didn't come down the stairs but descend-ed at the curb from a lordly limou-sine. Instead. It was Babe who'd accepted the offered lift, hut Rhoda had on this occasion followed her companion gladly enough, since they'd been hurrying and had seen their elevated trnln pull out of the station Just about a minute before they got within running distance. Stopping his car fnr them must have been an act of pure benevo-lence on the part of the owner, a respectable old gentleman with n beard. As he sat he took up most of the hack sent, and Instead of moving over he hnd had them turn with her first Incredulous stare at what was written on the stiff fold-ed sheets of notepaper It contained, she felt a frightened wish thnt Martin hadn't gone home, for the thing began: "Dear Miss McFar-land." She was trembling so that she went over and sat down on the couch before she read any further. She felt as If things were closing in on her somehow; the way a bird feels, perhaps, when the beaters are driving It toward the wall behind which a man Is waiting with a gun "I hope I haven't frightened you, beginning like that." It said, "but you do not know me you may nev-er have even henrd of me and I wanted to make sure that you would read this letter, been use It Is Important to me whether It Is to you or not "I am going to ask you a great favor. It has got nothing to do with money. I have got money enough, thank heavens! to put this through even If It costs a whole lot Rut I am simply desperate for some-thing I am sure you can help me find. It was a paper that I asked have worked awfully hard today, to have found out all that about Max Lewis and the chorus girl. How did you do It?" "It was all In the morgue,"" he told her. "It took about ten min-utes." She'd been working for the paper two years and she didn't know what the "morgue" was. Martin, with true reporter's pride in the whole news-gatherin- g side of the organization, told her all about It. He was startled when a sudden movement of hers, a sort of shud-der, aroused him to look around into her face. "What's the mat-ter?" he gasped. "I think It's horrible," she said shakily. "It means that there's no forgiveness at all. Anything that anyone has ever done or that people think he has done Is kept there, waiting to be got out and told all over again. Anyone who wants to go and open a drawer can find It And they call It the morgue,' Martin, I didn't know anything could be as cruel as that 1" "Bui you've got It all wrong," he protested. "A newspaper doesn't keep a 'morgue for the purpose of Intimidating people with their pasts. Nine times In ten the file's used for writing handsome obitu-ary articles. When a man dies they want to be able to tell how Im-portant he's been." But nothing he could say on the subject seemed to change her feel-ing about it "Let's try to forget about it," she said at last !' On his agreeing to that and he'd have agreed to almost anything Just then sue pushed her advantage a little further. "Let'a forget about everything that's mysterious and depressing, will you? Will you agree that the burglar was Just a . plain burglar who was perfectly satisfied with my three hundred dollars, and that Mr. Forster and Mr. Lewis were only trying to find me to settle a bet. or for some silly reason like that? And then, Martin, wUl you take me some-where for the rest of this evening where we can dance?" You bet I will." he said. Til gree to the whole program for jur inuiirr m mite litre m lur lilt? when 1 was working for httn In his laboratory. "It makes too long a story to tell this way and I want you should have my whole confidence In this matter. Will you come to lunch with me tomorrow In the Tip-To-p Inn? I will be there from twelve o'clock on. at the table to the tight of the door In the Dutch room. I will be wearing a black bat and a dark blue dress. "Yours most sincerely, "CLAIRE CLEVELAND. "P. S. I want to say this In addi-tion. I think It will be as much for your advantage as mine If you come. The man who treated me so shamefully Is the same man who played a mean and treacherous trick on your father and practically ruined his life In order to make himself rich ; and I think If you and I work together we can force him to make things right for you as well as for me at least as far as money can make anything right Let me warn you of one more thing, and I hope It Is not too late. Do not answer any communication of any sort from any stranger until yon and I have had our talk. I have reason to believe he now has designs on you, too, You may not have found out yet what some men can be like, but believe me (not slang) I know! "Yours, CLAIRE!" Rhoda read the thing straight through without making any pauses for reflection and analysis, and' It wasn't until she got to the post-script that the false note began to sound loud enough to arouse her suspicion. Down to the first signa-ture she never thought of doubting that the woman hnd worked for her father and had given him a paper to take care of for her. She won-dered how the woman hod found her and noted the fact that this wasn't explained, but she put It among the details that had been too numerous and complicated to write In a letter and assumed that It would be explained as soon as they met at lunch. But with the beginning of the postscript she began to feel her-Be- lf bristling with suspicion. Nev-- down the two folding chairs to ride In. A pair of rubber shod canes In the corner gave Rhoda the Idea he couldn't move about very easily. He asked them where they wanted to go, Instructed his chauffeur to drive them there, and then apparently forgot all about them, submerging himself In his morning paper. He acknowledged their thanks at the end of the ride with a gruff, nod, and that was all there was to It. But when Rhoda tnrned from smiling gooilhy after him to find herself standing face to face with Martin, she perceived at once from his flush and his frown of annoy-ance that he hadn't liked It. ne had even the air, she thought, of waiting for a Justly to he demand-ed explanation. There was one ready at hnnd as far as that went. She'd never have got Into that car If Babe hadn't already committed her to It. But she wouldn't have told Martin that for anything. Babe's contribution didn't help matters either. She said to Rhoda, after tossing a negligent hello to Martin, "What do you suppose the old blllygnat picked us up for, any-way,, making us sit on those fold-ing seats all the way? Mostly they want you to cuddle up a little, no matter how old they are." She didn't wait for any answer from Rhoda, and left them. "I'm glad you happened to be here," Rhoda suld to him In the coldest tone she could produce. "I wanted to ask you about the wom-an you heard talking night before last at the Alhambra." If he'd answered her properly she'd have forgiven hltn for look-ing annoyed over the limousine. She would have told him, when she got around to it how It had hap-pened. But he didn't answer her at all flashed back at her, instead with two questions of his own. "What's she been doing since Inst night? Was there n letter from her In that bunch I brought upstairs?" It was annoying to have her thunder stolen like that. "I don't know," she suld. "That's what I'm trying to find out. There was a letter for me from some one who signed herself Claire that she looked younger, somehow, than her voire sounded. It settled any possible doubt about ter Iden-tity. This woman's voice was hard and metallic, with the sliver plat-ing worn off In spots. She mustn't be thinking things like this! She must tnlk ! She had a rehearsed line that would do. "It's perfectly marvelous to meet some one who knew my father." she said. "Let's not try to talk," the wom-an suggested cozlly, "until we've settled the Important question ol j lunch." Her manners, Rhoda reflected, be-longed with her voice rather than I with her looks. She Insisted on or- - derlng an extravagant lunrlw and j the way she overrode Rhoda's pro-test wns rather too "I guess the first tiling you'll ' want to know," she began as soon as they were rid of the waiter, "Is , how I found you. It was pure luck i If there Is such a thing as Inck. really. I saw you the other night at the Alhambra that Is, I thought it was you, only It seemed too , good to be true. You were dnnc-- i Ing with a gentleman I know, Mr. Max Lewis, and as soon as I got a j chance I asked him about you. But It turned out he didn't know very much about you. himself. So I told him he'd got to And out for me, and yesterday he sent me your address. I don't know yet how he found tt out." Rhoda heard an edge In the hard voice that suggested she wanted to know. "Oh. Babe must have told him," she said. "He brought her home thnt night We live together, you see." Then, with a rush, she went on Into another speech she'd rehearsed. It was better to get It over with. "You must be wondering why I changed my name. You see, I wasn't of ace when my father died. And I didn't want a lot of people bothering and Interfering telling me what I could do and what I couldn't. And I thought It would be easier to be let alone If I changed to Rhoda White. I could change back now, of course, of course, only there isn't any reason why I should." (TO BS) CONTINUED.)

Unless the United States Su-preme court permits Mr. Fall to take an appeal to Its bar, the man- -, date of the District court will be handed down within 13 days and the former cabinet officer will be taken Into custody to serve a one-ye- ar sentence and pay a fine of $100,000.

Aiding the three Nicholas Physicians and Longworth of nurses who sought to halt the malady was the speaker's wife, Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Born to wealth and position on November 1869, in Cincinnati, Ohio, his home ever since, Mr. Longworth, after attending Frank-lin school there, was graduated in 189t from Harvard.
