SYNOPSIS. •John Waring, gentleman anti scholar, has Just won the hotly contested election to the presidency of Corinth college, a venerable New England seat of learning. Itefore hi* inauguration lie plans to marry Fmlly Hates, a charming nnd cultured widow. With his life’s ambition achieved and a rosy future assured, there Is yet hii instant's hesitation before he answers in the affirmative her question, “Are you entirely happy?” Into this quiet college town comes ”‘Miss Mystery." Through her uncanny ability to compel others to do her bidding, she succeeds In establishing herself at Corinth’s most exclusive boardinghouse. kept by Mrs. Adams and her husband, “Old Salt.” ' Further than giving her nume as Anita Austin* the “Mystery Girl” refuses to divulge any Information regarding her- j self or her business in Corinth. This j piques tlie curiosity of tlie other hoarders. After hearing Or. Waring deliver a lecture, the “Mystery Girl” meets his j fiancee, who invite* tier to Ills home for , tea. Cpon meeting Miss Austin the doe- j tor appears greatly disturbed and after dropping a cup of tea to the floor lie awkwardly excuses himself from the room. Before he returns tlie “.Mystery Girl” de (jp parts. That night Dr. Waring is left alone In his study to prepare a speech which Is to he delivered the following night. In the morning lto* the butler, upon arising, discovers that the doctor’s bed Is undisturbed it ml goes to hla study where lie finds nil of the doors and windows locked from the inside*. Be coming suspicious, lto Informs tlie house keeper, who tur" summons Gordon lx>cUwood. Hr. Waring s private secretary. The latter forces an entrance to the study and finds the doctor dead from a stab wound. Nigo. .lap servant, lias mysteriously disappeared. A large ruby searfpiu and #.VM> in currency also are listed among tlie missing. Tlie scarf pin nnd roll of bills later are, found in Miss Austin’s room nnd this to gether with other circumstantial evidence lead to tlie unmistakable belief that she either killed Ur. Waring or hired some one else to commit the crime. During'the next several da.vs she Is subjected to a severe grilling by the pollee authorities. The one person in the village who be lieves her innocent of any crime and who is ever willing to rush to her aid is Gordon Lock wood. Maurice Trnsk, distant relative and onlv heir to Ur.

TMd you ask for them. Her’ disclaimer sounded true, but Stone began to think she was a con summate little actress as well as a clever falsifier. “Well." be said, after a short pause, * t may as well tell you, Miss Austin, that I am here to solve this mystery. That 1 am not at all satisfied that v,,u are tellluR me the truth; that therefore, t shall have to seek the truth elsewhere. 1 will tell you. too, that 1 don’t want to implicate you, that I should prefer to keep your name out of It nil, but that you leave me no choice but to go ahead with my advertisement. Guard Against “Flu” With Musterolc Influent*. Grippe and Pneumonia usually start with a cold. The moment you get those warning aches, get busy with good old Musterole. Musterole is a counter-irritant that re lieves congestion (which is what a cold really is) and stimulates circulation. It has all the good qualities of the old fashioned mUBtard plaster without the blis ter. Just rub it on with your finger-tips. First you will feel a warm tingle as the healing ointment penetrates the pores, then a soothing, cooling sensation and quirk relief. Have Musterole handy for emergency use. It may prevent serious illness. S5e and S5c, in jars and tubes. Batter than a mustard plaster investigations wherever they may lead. A few more questions and you may go. What was Doctor Waring doing when you came In?" "He—lie was sitting at his desk." She looked troubled at Stone's speech and seemed half inclined to be more friendly. “You saw him through the French window, before you came in'?" "Yes; the winnow has a silk cur tain, but 1 saw him between the edge of the silk und the window sash." "Was he reading?" "No; there were books on the desk, but he was not reading," "He rose and let you in?” “Yes.” ''Had lie sent for you?" "No—that is, yes." "You spoke truly the first time. Ho did not send for you and you came of your ow n accord. Was he surprised to see you?” "He didn’t say so.” "What did he say? What was his first word?" "Why—I don't know. He said— ‘Anita! You!"'—or something like that.” “And kissed you?” “Yes." And then a sudden wave of crimson spread over the scared little face. It was evident she had not vol untarily made the admission. It had slipped out as her memory was busy with the scene. "I won’t stand it!" she cried. "1 can t stand it! Mr. Trask, save me from tills terrible man!" Maurice Trask, sitting near her, held out his hand, and Miss Mystery took it. It seemed to reassure her, and she said: “Remember, you're my law yer. Don't let him question me any more. Tell hint things yourself-" "Hut he doesn't know things-’’ said Stone, gravely. “Then let him make them up! I refuse to stand tilts persecution. I didn't kill that man-" "Walt a moment, Mlfcs Austin," Stone feared if he let her go now, he would lose his chance, "since you are admittedly the last person who is known to have seen Doctor Waring I alive, you cannot avoid or evade the 1 strict questioning. Yotl were here," | he spoke very gravely, "late at night. Next morning he was found dead. There are no footprints in the snow but your own. There was no other way into the room. Therefore, you are responsible for his death or—you know who Is." "Must I—must I be convicted?" Her tone was heartbroken, her strained little face piteous in its ap peal. But Stone did not believe in her. He had concluded she was entirely capable of pulling \yooI over her ques tioners’ eyes, and he watched her keenly. "I don't say you must," he returned delilcerately, “but I say you may." “Never," declared Trask. “You know what I told you, Mr. Stone." "And you know that I refused to ac cept your terms. I shall carry this matter through to the end. I do not say I think Miss Austin guilty of crime, but I do say she knows all about the death of Ilr. Waring and she must be made to tell." “Suptfose T say I—he killed him self." she said, "will you believe me?" "With your stiletto?" asked Stone, quickly. "Y—yes." “And then you took the stiletto home and hid it?” "Yes." "What for?" "To shield his memory. Suicide is a coward's act.” “Rubbish!" Fibsy exploded, unable to koep quiet any longer. "I say, Miss Mystery, you are a mystery! Why don't you tell what you know. It's up to you. Here you were with the victim, shortly before his death, you prob ably know all about what bs-^-'ened. By the way, how did you get out?" "Out the same way I came in,” "And bolted that window-door be hind you?" "Oh—no—well, you see-’’ "I see you are not to say another word, Miss Austin," Trask decreed. “I'm very sorry I asked Mr. Stone to take up this case. However, I shall take you home now, then I'1l come back and I hope I ran persuade Mr. Stone to discontinue his work. If I’d had any idea of these disclosures you've made, I never should have en gaged his services. Come, Anita, I The Odds Are Long— 4 to 1 Against You Pyorrhea Follows Bleeding Gum' At the first sign oi bleeding gums, watch out for Pyorrhea.

The two went, and Stone, pacing up and down the long room, said musing ly, "All centers around that girl." "Righto." said Fibsy, "but she didn't kill the man.” “The trouble is, Terence, your say ing that doesn't nuike it so.” "No, but its being so makes me say it.” The Net Closes About Miss Mystery, Gordon Lockwood came In, his face full of anxiety. "I’m so glad to see you alone for a moment, Mr. Stone,” he said. "I saw Trask taking Miss Austin home. Now, tell me, please, can you get at the truth about that girl?” ”1 haven't as yet. She’s as great a mystery as the death of Dr. Waring.” “She is. But I have every faith in her. She is the victim of some de lusion—” "Delusion?” "Yes; I mean she's under a mis taken sense of duty to somebody, or—” "State your meaning more definite ly. will you?" "I’m not sure that I can. But I’m positive—” "Ah, now. Mr. Lockwood," this from Fibsy, “you're positive the young lady is an angel of light, because you’re head over heels In love with her. That's all right, and I don’t blame you—but, take it from me, you'll prove your case quicker, better and more surely if you Investigate the secret of Miss Mystery, than If you just go around babbling about her innocence and purity." Lockwood looked at the boy, ready to resent his impudence. But Fibsy'a serious face and honest eyes carried , conviction and the secretary at once } took hira for an ally. "You're right, McGuire,” he said; ! “and I for one am not afraid of the result of a thorough investigation of : Miss Austin's affairs." “You’ve reason to be. though,” | Stone observed. "I can’t be sure, of , course, but many stray hints and bits ' of evidence, to my mind, point to Miss Austin's close connection with the i whole matter.” "What is your theory as to the ; death, Mr. Stone?" Lockwood asked. ! "Suicide or murder?” "Honestly, 1 don't know. I’m quite l ready to form an opinion when I get ! some real evidence. I’m through ques- i Honing Miss Austin—I shouldn't have let her go otherwise. I want next to do a lot of further questioning. And I'd very much like to get hold of that servant, Nogi.” "You think he's implicated?" Lock wood stared. "Why else would he run away? He must be found. He Is probably the key to the whole situation.” “Guilty?" "Maybe and maybe not. If he and Miss Austin were in collusion—” "I beg your pardon, Mr. Stone, but I cannot have anything said in my CHILDRENS COLDS should not be *'dcoed. ” Treat them externally with— VIS*® Ovtr 17 Million Jan Uttd Yoarlg i presence that reflects on the young lady's name.
