Lillian'* Discovery Concerning the Rolls of Money. I'll never deny a. hunch again,” Lillian resumed after a pausp. She had convinced me that Fanny Powell Hugh (Irantland's secretary, whom she had been hunting, was the am nesia-stricken girl whom she had res cued from the train and brought to the farmhouse. "When I saw that girl that day,” site continued, "the part of my al leged brain where the hunches nre born told me to take charge of her. The other part, where resides my modicum of common sense, urged me ,---______ COLOR CUT-OUTS Mary and Her Lamb S---> to leave her to the authorities, who sooner or later must have taken charge of her. .Tust suppose l had left her atone? Why, the key tn the whole miserable business probably lie.* in her hands. When she re covers her memory we will know. In the meantime »e can afford to wait," "But won't the people who .lost the money make a fuss If it Isn't re stored to them?" I asked, thor oughly bewildered by the startling story she was telling me. "That's just what’s puzzling me,” she returned. "There’s something fishy about the thing to me, and I believe that somewhere, somebody has put up a job on Hugh. You know, while he is canny in some ways, he is a great-hearted, unso phisticated boy In others. For in stance, it’s the easiest thing In the world for a woman to appeal to his chivalry anfl fool him to the limit. 1 don't mean that he fulls in love with them, but he will not believe exit of women until It is forced upon him." "You think then, that this girl——” I began tentatively. "Decidedly, No!” ‘‘Decidedly, no,” Lillian answered. "She would have been diced up Into hash for him any minute, madly in love with him. ns nearly ns I can find out. although he never gave her any attention, save that he might have offered any woman In his em ploy. No. T think the thing lies nearer home than that. You see, the missing funds belong to the estate of Hildreth Orantland." "A relative?" I asked breath lessly. "Yes. a rousln, the son of his fa I hers brother,” she returned. "The •hlng ts all so terribly mixed up that I haven’t been able to get head, let alone tall, to it, yet. Perhaps you know the tragedy of Hughs boy hood. - "Of his expulsion from college be cause of something never explained," I said, "and of his father’s refusal ever to see him again Yes, I knew that; also that his mother died with out seeing liipi." "Hugh never forgave his father for that." Lillian said, "and when the elder Orantland married again, all chance for a reconciliation tied; for the sec ond wife is as cold Wooded a creature as was ever misnamed a fish. But Hugh's uncle, his father’s brother, always stood hy Hugh, and before he died appointed him executor of his son's estate and guardian of the boy. Unfortunately, the estate Is mixpcl up with that of Hugh’s father and grandfather. It is one of those fool things which some rich men try in this land of the free and home of the brave. That brings the step mother into it. She Is guardian of her own son, Hugh’s half-brother. “T suppose you’re wondering, nat urally. how I know all this." Lillian raid. "It can be told in a few words. Somebody, not Hildreth Orantland. but some other person, patently an Teacher Take* a Haiul. Here* Marx's neat in school.

"I'm sorry," answered Mary, more bashful than ever. "He followed me." "Well, he’ll have to go home. He upsets things too much." So the teacher put the little lamb out. The poor animal called "Baaa" to Mary, as if asking her to come along. Mary had a terrible afternoon. She failed in all her lessons because she 1 was so worried for fear her little lamb wouldn’t get home safely.

If 1 only could get some trace of Hugh himself! What he wanted to run away for, 1 don't know, for I'd wager mv left ear that he never had a dis honorable thought ill his life. He must have lost his reason, or else—" She cupped her chin in her hands, with her elbows on her knees—sure sign lhat she was thinking out some angle of her problem—and I walled patiently for the end of her reverie. ''1 ve brought the thing down to date for you,” she said, ' and It's a mess, nothing else. But if all l he missing money Is/here, that's some thing. I'd almost testify that he gave it to me for safekeeping, myself.” She laughed as she took up one of the packages of bills, stripped the cov ering from it, ruffled the bills through her lingers. Bitt the smile vanished In an instant and, pallid to the lips, she held the bundle out to me The bills were all counterfeit! Troublesome Suitor. Pear Miss Allen: I am a girl In my early teens. There Is a young man who has troubled me muc h. He rails me'up almost every night and asks for dates. I don’t despise him, hut I don’t like him either. I have told him many times not to call me up. but he continues his calls. He also knows that I go to a dance and is sure to be ’’.lohnny on the spot.” He follows me around. One minute he catches me on one side of the hall and the next minute or the other. I have, told him In nice, courteous ways and In harsh ways, but It does not seem to help. I would like very much to have you give me vour advice. TROTJBLKSOMB SAD. Tell the boy In plain words that you do not want to go with him and that It Is useless for him to Invite you places because you will always Bay "No.” Then refuse to pay any atten tion to him. If he persists, ask your brother, or a male relative to tell him to discontinue his attentions. Blue Kyed Sally: It seems to me you have a perfect right to go with the two hoys. It is heller for one so young to have more friends than one. •Iiisteen: Yes, speak to the bov. and Invite him to come and see you. Tell him you have missed him. That will lie enough encouragement to bring him If he really cares for you. Dean: Don't talk of suicide. Dive for the wife and baby to he. Cut right loose from Ihe girl you didn't marry. Not being able to forget her Is tommyrot. Slop dramatizing your self and get dow n to honest business j in life. Miss Perplexed: Dove is elusive.
