She would keep the pitcher until morning, and find some means of determining its contents. Rich, is it really you? That was not the way Leitha had meant to begin her telephone conversation, but it was so good to hear his voice. Did you want to speak to me or some other guy? Rich answered. Of course its me. Whats on your mind? Whats up now, Toots? Couldnt I just call because I wanted to? How are you? In the pink," he answered. Has something else been rifled from your room?

She found him In excellent spir Leitha Mallory, young nurse engaged to care for Mason Tannahill, ailing Georgia millionaire, Is stunned to learn that her old patient is actually her grandfather, her mother having been the daughter he turned away from Tannahill when she married a man of whom he disapproved. She knows then why her locket, containing her mothers picture, was stolen from her room and why the family persisted in questioning her about her mother, about whom she knew very little. In her room she drinks some water from the decanter on the table and finds It bitter. She sets it aside to be analyzed. Leitha has a sudden desire to speak to Rich Haller, a friend, whose proposal she had rejected. nt - hard-earne- d Leitha said, I didnt call you because of that. I wanted to ask you if anyone besides myself has a key to my rooms. Foswick reWhy, yes, Miss, plied. I carry a passkey to all the rooms. As does Mrs. Upfield, being the housekeeper. She appeared to hesitate a moment, then added, "Is anything amiss? No. Nothing is Leitha said, wrong. Ill make your rooms up now, Foswick said, almost eagerly. She did not press the matter of anything being amiss. That is, she added, if it will not disturb you.

'wi : Putting Tanis On the Spot She supposed she could ask Foswick if she had emptied the carafe. But if Foswick had not yet been in these rooms to perform any other tasks, why should she have done that one? If she had, she would hardly admit it. Perhaps, Leitha hoped, she could discover something from the reactions of the other members of the household, if not reactions to any direct or indirect questions, then to her appearance fresh, in the best of health, cheerful She did not find anyone inside the house. The warm sunshine had apparently coaxed them all out Tanis, in a cotton frock of her favorite shade of soft blue, was installed in one of the lounging chairs on the awninged terrace. She appeared to be engrossed in a book, but she put it aside immediately at the approach of the young nurse. She spoke in her usual slightly taunting manner, "My, arent we lovely this morning! You must have slept well, Leitha. Completely recovered from the last two weeks ordeal with Uncle Mason? No one could say you look fagged out this morning. Leitha responded I feel fine, briefly. Now that Uncle Mason is better, maybe you wont have to keep your nose so close to your grindstone, Tanis drawled. Her manner, if a bit arrogant, was not unfriendly. "You can take time out for a bit of fun. Relaxation exercise. Even anyone ns diligent as you needs exercise. You want to keep that gorgeous figure! Andres and Justin will be pleased, she tacked on. Leitha felt the color deepening in her face. Tanis must not be very happy to make other people so uncomfortable all the time. She said, I get my share of exercise. Then, to forestall any further comments from the other girl By the way, Tanis, did you want me for anything last evening when we met in the hall outside my door? I didnt mean to rush off. Nothing except what I asked, Tanis returned. A report on your patient. What would I want other than that? Her eyes met Leithas without wavering. "You never have time to chat. At least not with me. I never knew anyone so conscientious. Dont you ever take time out to play? A nurse is not supposed to play except when off duty, Leitha said. She had not learned much from this encounter. I have to earn my living," she added, with Intended emphasis. If Tanis has any suspicions In regard to me, she thought, that should give her a beautiful opening. But Tanis merely shrugged as if in distaste that such necessities as earning ones own livelihood did exist. The swimming pool will be filled by afternoon, she said. Andres Is seeing to it Its too provoking to have to wait so late before it can be used. Unless you enjoy freezing and shivering. Its these hills and so many pines. If I were running things, Id certainly cut the trees all down. At least those around the' house. That would let in some sunshine. If I were running things, Leithas thoughts repeated. Charlene had said that Tanis would like everything modernized. Leitha Gets Nowhere With Questions "The pool Is so lovely as It is," With the tall pines Leitha said. for a backdrop. But, of course, I am not much of a svhmmer. I'm sure that either Andres or will be only too or both Justin charmed to teach you. You must beg time off this afternoon." Im still just a nurse to her, Im sure, Leitha thought. Unless that last line hdd been done with thoughtful precision in order to make the nurse think Just that. Her short conversations with Andres and Justin, and even Charlene, did not reveal much more. The ones with the two men even ran to the same lines as with Tanis. They had come up from the direction of the pool just as Leitha walked down that way. Both talked about its being filled by that afternoon, urging Leitha to try to take time for a swim. She gave them much the same response she had given Tanis. And their reaction was the same as Tanis. What if Leitha wasnt much of a swimmer? She could soon learn. They would be only too happy to teach her. (TO BE CONTINUED) V ; i. 's: p J., 5r - v' .vA .Lb ?v ' , J. ' s .kWTr e liv x's-- s V.

Spanish Matador Poses Unarmed to Fool Cull Spain has recently revived a dangerous form of bullfighting, according to Colliers, in which the matador is unarmed and does not fight, but attempts to make the bull believe that he is a statue as he poses, dressed in white clothes, on a small white pedestal in the center of the ring. Out of every 10 bulls engaged, approximately 7 are fooled at the first glance and walk away, while the others are not deceived until they push the statuesque mata dor down off the pedestal and see his body motionless on the ground. Occasionally, a bull is not duped at all and the matador has to run for his life. -- IwYS ! ftJjCKRElISf CftWHVrgy FOR ACID SPEEDED-U- COMFORT P for KIDNEY SUFFERERS I so-call- ed Backaches, leg pains, broken ages usually go so much quicker u yc to Foley (the new kuiney-bistKlen stimulate sluggish kidneys; then ALI.A1 ot DEil IRRI fS l ION.
