THE MYSTERY GIRL
Hr CAROLYN HUM._(Copyright. lttt.)
SYNOPSIS.
John Waring, gentleman and scholar,
ha# just won the hotly contested election
to the presidency of ( orinth college, m
venerable New England sent of learning.
Before his Inauguration he plans to marry
Emily Bates, n charming and cultured
widow. With his life*# ambition achieved
and a rosy future assured, there i# yet
an infant’s hesitation before he answer#
In the affirmative her question, "Are you
entirely happy?"
Into thi# quiet college town come* "Mis#
Mystery." Through Iter uncanny ability
to compel others to do her bidding, she
succeeds in establishing herself at t orinth'*
most exclusive boat din*house, kept by
Mr*. Adams and her husband. “Old halt."
Further than giving her name as Mis#
Auntln, the "Mystery Girl" refuse# to
divulge any Information regarding her
self or her business In f orint It. Thi#
piques the curiosity of tlie other hoarders.
After hearing Dr. Waring deliver a
lecture, the “Mystery Girl" meets hi#
financee. who invite# her to hi* home for
tea. 1 poii meeting Miss Austin the doc
tor appear* greatly disturbed and after
dropping a cup of tea to the floor he
awkwardly excuse# himself from the room.
Before he return# the "Mystery Girl" de
part*. That night Dr. Waring is left
alone in his study to prepare a speech
which Is to he delivered tlie following
nlglit. In the morning Ito, the butler,
upon arising, discover# mat the doctor’#
bed in undisturbed and goes to his study
where he finds nil of the doors uhd
window# locked from tlie Inside. Be
coming suspicious, Ito Informs tho house
keeper. who In turn Niimmon# Gordon
lock wood. Dr. Waring'* private necretary.
The latter force# an entrance to tlie
*tudy and finds the doctor dead from
a #tub wound. Mg©. Jap *ervnnt, bus
mysteriously disappeared. A large ruby
scarf pin and 9500 in currency also are 1
listed among the missing.
The scarf pin and roll of hill* later are
found in Miss Austin's room and thi# to
gether with other clrrumAtnntial evidence
lends to the unmistakable belief that she
either killed Dr. Waring or hired some
one else to comniltt the crime. During the
next several flay# site Is subjected to a
severe grilling by the police authorities.
Tho one person in the village who be
lieves her in norent of any crime and who
I# ever willing to rush to her aid is
Gordon lock wood.
Maurice Trask, distant relative and only
heir to Dr. Waring'# fortune, arrive* on
tlie Mcene and takes charge of the In
vestigation. After hearing the evidence
gathered by the authorities, he, too, thinks
Mis# Austin guilty of the crime, hut at |
first sight of hrr fall# in love with her.
lie propose# to her, telling her that If
she eonsents to marry him, he will clear
her, hut that if she refuses, he will send
her to prison. In the meantime Lock
wood and "Miss Mystery" discover that
they are deeply in love with each other.
Trask repeats his threat. She asks for
a week’s time to consider his proposition
lie consents, hut warns her that the delay
may prove detrimental to her.
Fleming Stone, high powered detective,
!« engaged to untangle the mystery sur
rounding Dr. Waring’# death, l^wkwood
suggests to "Miss Mystery" that they
elope. She agrees to the plan, but after
h moment's thought tell# him that if it
I# necessary for her to give her right
name that she cannot marry him. Mis#
Austin Is ordered to leave tlie Adams'
house.
(Continued from Saturday.)
‘1 Co please,” she said, quietly, and
Lockwood obeyed.
"I cannot blame you, Mrs. Adams,”
Miss Mystery said: “1 dare say yuu
have to consider your other boarders,
and I thank you for your kindness
and forbearance you have shown me
so far."
The tears were in the big dark
eyes, and even us they moved Mrs.
Adams to sympathy, site also won
dered if they were real. “A girl who
would redilen her lips would be capa
ble of any deceit and duplicity,"
Esther Adams reasoned.
But sho went on, culmly.
“I come now. Miss Austin, to tell
Vou that Mr. Trask is down stairs
and wants to see you. He wants
you to go to his house to stay. The
Peytons are there, of course, and he
offers yon the shelter of his roof and
protection until this dreadful matter
is settled up.”
"Mr. Trask!" Anita looked her
amazement,
"Yes! now don't be silly. You very
well know he is mad about you, and
he hopes to get you freed and then
marry you.”
"Oh, be does'.” It was the old,
scornful Miss Mystery who spoke.
"Well, will you please tell him for
me-”
“Now, don't you be too hoity-toity,
miss! You're mighty lucky to have a
home offered you-"
"Yes, that's quite true. Well, Mrs.
Adams, will you go down, then, and
say I'll be down in a moment or two.
Give me time to freshen my appear
ance a bit ”
“Yes with paints aiul powders and
cosmetics!” Esther Adams grumbled
to herself, as she went down the
stairs.
As a matter of fact she quite mis
judged the girl. Very rarely did Anita
resort to artificial aid of that sort,
but when she so desired site used it
as she would any other personal
adornment.
“She's coming down," Mrs. Adams
announced, as she returned to Trask
and they waited.
,But when the minutes grew to a
quarter of an hour, and then nearly
to a half. Mrs. Adams again climbed
i the stairs to hasten proceedings.
This time she found the room emp
ty. •
The absence, too, of bursites and
combs, the disappearance of a small
suitcase, and the fact that her hat
and coat were gone all pointed un
mistakably to the assumption that the
girl had fled.
“Well!” Mrs. Adams reported
“she's lit out, bag ahd baggage.”
"Gone!” exclaimed Trask In dis
may.
"Well, she isn’t in her room. Her
trunk is locked and strapped and her
suitcase is missing. Her hat and
coat’s gone, too, so you can make
your own guess.”
But Maurice Trask didn't stay there
to make his guess.
He went bark, home as fast as he
could and told Fleming Stone the
news.
• "Run away, has she?” said Stone.
“I rather looked for that.”
“You did! And took no steps to
prevent it! You're a nice detective,
you are. Well, if you're so smart,
where’ she go?”
"Where’s Lockwood?” was Stone's
laconic response.
"Lockwood!” exclaimed Trask.
; "Wherever he is. he hasn't run off
with Anita Austin! If he lias—by
Jove. I'll break every bone in his
body!"
‘ You'll have to catch him first,”
smiled the detective.
"I'll catch him! I'll sent you to do
It. And. looky here, if she's gone off
W ith that man, you call go ahead and
catch her, catch them both, and then
go ahead and prove her guilty.”
"Is she?"
"Is she? You bet she is! And I
know it.”
"How do you know?”
"I’ll tell you. I know her eye
brows!"
"So do I know her eyebrows. But
they don't tell me she'a a murderer."
“Well, they tell me that! It's this
way. Her eyebrows are not only
heavy and dark, hut they almost meet
over the bridge of her nose.”
"Darling nose!" put in Fibsy, who
v^hs Interested in Anita, but not in
Trask's deductions.
"Does your knowledge of physiog
nomy tell you that those meeting
eyebrows are a sign of a criminal?”
asked Stone.
"Nothing of that sort. But they
i are the Truesdell brows.”
- "The Truesdell brows?” Stone
'Aised his own. "Sounds like a
(proprietary article. Not artificial are
they?”
"Now. see here, Mr. Stone. I'm in
! no good mood to be buyed. Those
( eyebrows are frequently seen in the
Truesdell family. My grandfather'*
brother married a TrudHell.”
"Your grandfather's brother mar
ried a Truesdell. And your own
grandfather didn't?"
"No: I haven't those brows."
"Well, you're not entitled to them,
having no Truesdell blood in your
veins."
"Rut that girl has.”
"Indeed! Interesting, is it not?"
"Aw, come off that line o’ talk, F.
S..” said Fibsy, knitting his brows,
which were not Truesdellian. "I'm
seein’ a chink o" light. The brother
of your grandfather, now, Mr. Trask,
ho was named-?’’
"Waring, of course. Jdenry Waring.
My grandfather was James Waring.”
"And this Henry Waring—he was
the father of Ur. John Wav 11 lH' —
As Fibsy said this Stone sat up
right, and gazed hard at Trask.
"Y'es, John Warlng’s father was
Henry, and my grandfather was
Henry’s brother James. That’s how
I’m related. And being the only one,
that’s why I’m the heir here. Hut,
don't you s'-e. Dr. Waring's mother
was a Truesdell-’’
"And Miss Austin is a relative of
hers—a connection of the Truesdell
family somehow-” exclaimed the
now excited Fibsy, "and she found out
about it, and came here and-”
“Yes," Trask said, "and tried to get
some money from John Waring on
the ground of relationship.”
"What relation could she be?”
"Maybe a niece of Dr. Waring—or
a cousin. Maybe the same relation
to Dr. Waring's mother that I am
to his father. Then, that would ex
plain his giving her money and the
pin—ami maybe she burned the will;
and then she-”
"But it complicates everything,”
said Stone, who was thinking quick
ly. “However, if Miss Austin is con
nected with the Truesdell family it
gives us a way to look to learn her
history.”
"Well, learn it," said Trask, abrupt
ly. “I'm not afraid of losing my In
heritance, for I'm in the direct
Waring line and she can't be.”
Trask, helped along by Fleming
Stone, investigated the family tree of
the Warings. But they ran up against
a blank wall. As Tar as they could
learn. Dr. Waring never had brother
or sister. His mother, who was a
Truesdell, had also been an only child.
But, of course. Miss Mystery could be
of the Truesday family, and could, as
Trask observed, be the same relation
to John Waring's mother that Trask
was to John Waring's father. Which
relation wus that of second cousin.
It Rives a reason for the girls
presence here," Stone said, "and as
It's the only reason we can think of,
it must be followed up.”
"And I'll follow it up,” Trask said,
"if 1 once get hold of that girl. Where
can she be, Mr. Stone?"
"Not very far away, I thinfl. as all
the stations and routes out of town
are watched. She’d have trouble to
leuvo Corinth.” ,
"She could get out in a mtkorcar.”
"Who’d take her?”
"Lockwood, of course.”
Hut just then. Gordon Lockwood
came into the Waring study. His
usual calm was entirely gone, his
eyes wildly staring and his voice
quivered as he said, "She's gone!
Anita's gone!”
"Yes. I know It—I thought you
went with her!” and Stone stared in
turn.
"No, I didn't!” Lockwood said,
quite unnecessarily. "Find her," Mr.
Stone—you can, can’t you?"
"I can find her,” said Fibsy, "if
you'll tell me one thing, Mr. Lock
wood. right straight out.”
"What is it? I’ll tell you anything.
I'm afraid-”
"You're afraid she's killed herself."
said Fibsy, calmly. “Well you tell
me this. Are you two—aw—you
know-"
The boy blushed, and Stone smiled
a little as he said:
"McGuire is a bit shy of romantic
matters. He means are you and
Miss Austin lovers?"
"Wo are,” said Lockwood, emphat
ically, "She is my fiancee-”
"All right,” said Flbsey, "then I'll
find her. She hasn’t done anything
rash in that case."
He wagged his wise little head.
"Where is she?” St(^ne asked, con
fident that the boy would tell, lie
knew of Fibsy's almost clairvoyant
powers of divining truth in certain
situations.
"Want her here?" he asked, lacon
ically.
“Yes.”
“I'll get her.”
Snatching his cap he darted from
the house, but he wuh closely followed
by Maurice Trask. Lockwood would
have stopped Trask, but Stone said:
“Let him go. This thing Is coming to<
a crisis—Trask will help it along."
Fibsy went toward the Adams
house, but stopped at the house next
door to it. This was the home of
Emily Bates.
Ringing that lady’s dorobell, Fibsy
asked to see her.
"Mrs. Bates." he said, politely, while
Trask listened, "we want to see Miss
Austin please.”
“Anita!” said Mrs. Bates hurredly;
"why—she—she isn’t-”
"Oh, yes, she Is here,” said the boy,
patiently, rather than rudely. "We
nave to see her, you see.”
"Here I am.” said Miss Mystery,
coming in from the next room. "I
think," she said turning to Mrs. Bates,
"I think, as you advised me, I’ll tell
all.”
"Don't telh it here! cried Hbsy.
"Please, Miss Austing-don't spill your
yarn here—oh, I mean don't—don't
divulge-”
The unusual word nearly choked
the excited boy, who always In mo
ments of strong emotion lapsed into
careless English, but who tried not to.
"Now, look here,” Maurice Trask
put in. "Here's where I take hold.
Miss Austin, you have told your story
to Mr. Dates?"
"Yes," said Anita, loking very sad,
but determined.
"Then you tell it to me. I'm heir
to the Waring estate, and sd 1 have
a light to know all you know about
—the family."
His knowing lock proved to Anita
that he assumed also her right to be
classy! with "the family" and she
looked at him in astonishment.
“You know?” she cried.
"Yes—I know,” he spoke very stern
ly. "And I insist upon a private in
terview with you before you tell your
story to anyone else.”
"You shall have it then," she said,
and her eyes grew grave. "Mrs. Bates,
will you and Terrence leave us alone
for ten minutes. That wll be long
enough, and then I'll go to see Mr.
Stone—if necessary.”
"Now lok here," Trask said, as the
door closed after the others, “I know
who you are.”
"I don't believe it,” and Miss Mys
tery looked at him straight from be
neath the "Truesdell brows.”
"Well, anyway, I know you are a
Truesdell connection.”
“Yes, I am. Go on.”
‘‘I don't know just what branch,”
he went on, a little lamely.
“But It's a branch strong enough
to hold me—and also to Interfere
with this heirship of yours.”
"Can't be. There's no Truesdell so
| close to John .Waring as I am."
"You think so? Then listen.”

A Very Useful Gift.
It was only a few (lays before
Christmas w'heji Mr. Crow begged
Jimmy Rabbit to give him, for a pres
ent, whatever dt was that was in Jim
my's old traveling bog. Mr. Crow
was very curious to know what the
bag held. Rut Jimmy Rahit wouldn't
tell him. Jimmy had even made Mr.
Crow promise not to look at the pres
ent until Christmas day arrived.
Anybody that knew Mr. Crow could
have told you how hard it would be
for the old Rentleman to keep his
promise. When he reached home
with the traveling bag, which he had
And h« put his otht* foot ’ in

agreed to return to-Jimmy on Christ
mas day, Mr. Crow sat still for same
time and stared at the bag. How he
did want to know what was in it!
Jimmy Rabbit said that nobody
could wear it, nor eat it, nor play
with it," he said to himself. And
then all at once he cried loudly, "I
know! It's something to drink! Ha!'
It takes Mr. Crow to gues a riddle,
lie’s a wise old bird." Mr. Crow pick
ed up the traveling bag. "I’ll shake
it and listen to the sound the present
makes," ho muttered.
So he shook the traveling bag. But
not a sound seemed to come from in
side it.
I wonder,” thought Mr. Crow, "if
a little peep would count for a whole
look?” He was just about to persuade
himself that it wouldn't, when he
had another—and better—idea. “I'll
feel of the present!” lie exclaimed
with a chuckle. "That certainly won’t
be looking at it. And no one can say
that I didn’t keep my promise.”
He then opened the traveling bag.
Next he set a foot inside it. He was
smiling. But his smile soon faded
and a puzzled frown came over his
face. Ills foot seemed to touch noth
ing but the inner part of the bag.
"This is queer,” he croaked hoarse
ly. And the put his other foot in too.
He wriggled his toes into the cor
ners of the bag, hoping to discover
some small object. But he found noth
ing.
Mr. Crow promptly flew into a rage.
“This is a cheat!” he squawked.
And jumping out of the bag, he peer
ed into it. He saw nothing. "Jimmy
Rabbit played a trick on me." he be
gan to scold. And then he remem
bered that Jimmy hadn't told him
there was anything in the bag. He
had said there was nothing in it that
was good to eat, good to wear, or good
to play with. It was old Mr. Crow
that had fooled himself, by begging
for whatever was in the bag.
“Well," he thought after his rage
had somewhat cooled, “I may as well
take this traveling bag back to Jim
my Rabbit now, instead of waiting un
til Christmas day.”
So he flew off into the woodB, where
he found Jimmy Rabbit and set the
bag down at that young person's feel.
"What does this mean?” Jimmy ex
claimed. "Aren’t you going to keep
the present? Don't you want it? ’
“I’ve decided it wouldn’t suit me,”
Mr. Crow told him. ”Ypu said this
present wasn't good to eat, nor wear,
nor play with. If I accept a gift it
must be a useful one.”
, “But Inever said this wasnjt use
ful,” Jimmy Rabbit declared.
Mr. Crow stared at him.
“What’s is good for?” he asked
bluntly. "Tell me that!”
"To breathe!” said Jimmy Rabbit.
• Mr. Crow had to admit to himsell
that what Jimmy Rabbit said wai
true. There was air inside the travel
ing bag, if there was nothing else.

How Don Ramon Alipiret • Woke
Memories in Dicky's Mind.
I straightened tensely at Dicky’s
query. Did he suspect Harry Under
wood's identity, or was he only im
pressed with something vaguely fa
miliar in the voice and appearnnce of
the man? And what would he Harry
Underwood's answer to the question?
We did not have to wait long for it.
Behind his thick lensed glasses one
could feel thit he was studying
Dicky's face carefully, as if to recall
a possible acquaintance Then he
spoke, slowly, hesitatingly.
"Ifvis possible, although I do not
remember. But I have met so many,
especially when I was traveling in
France and—Germany some years
ago.”
He halted perceptibly before the
word “Germany,” and at my side
Dicky straightened Into rigidity at the
queer phrase.
That memory had suddenly brought
to him a visiion of that “traveling in
France and—Germany some years
ago.” I was as sure as that I could
never forget that awful time during
the war—the days when for weeks I
believed that Harry Underwood had
saved himself at Dicky's expense, But
I found out later that instead, Harry
Underwood had made a voluntary sac
rifice of his liberty, almost of his life,
for his old comrade, but the horror of
that suspense had never left me. >
Dicky Recognizes a Friend.
I cast a furtive glance at Dicky to
see how- he was takng the knowledge
that the man who once had been his
closest friend sat so near him. I was
sure that ho recognized him through
his bizarre dishulse, and I guessed the
emotons which were swaying him.
For years they had been close
friends. Then Harry Underwood,
away from Lilian’s restraining influ
ence. had plunged into dlsspaton, and
when half-crazed, almost wholly rrre
sponsible from drinks and drugs had
been an accessory in the diabolic plot
of Grace Draper to cripple Dicky’s
airplane and send hint to an awful
death. When Harry Underwood had
come to himself he had rushed to the
flying field, and by revealing the plot,
enabled the aviation authorities to
have an ambulance and surgeons
ready, thus savng Dicky’s llfo by
prompt treatment. A few hours later
he had escaped from the military au
thorities, and later still, because of
Lillian'? influence, had been permitted
to join the ambulance service in

That Dicky's old affection for Harry
Underwood still persisted I knew,
and I also knv that he had great rfe
spect for the elder man's judgment.
The thought of this gave me a pre
sentiment of distinctly unpleasant
hours in store for me.
Mr. Underwood had said that he
meant to warn my husband about the
danger for me in going about, both
bicause of Grace -Draper and of the
men associated with Smith in the
conspiracy which Lillian. Allen Drake
and my father were watching so close
ly. Dicky was already so opposed to
my aiding Lillian in her government
work, that I knew a confirmation of
his fears by Harry Underwood would
make his opposition more rabid than
ever.
I had but one hape, and though it
was not a very creditable one. I
hugged it closely. Harry Underwood
had said that he meant to call Dicky
to accpunt for the escapade, from the
consequences of which I had just res
cued him. If he did that there were
sure to be verbal fireworks, for neith
er man has what might be called a
placid temperament, and if Dicky be
came sufficiently angry I knew he
would resent anything the elder man ,
might say, and would disregard any
warning he might give.
With beating pulses I waited for
i Dicky's reply. It did not come lmme
| diately, but w hen he did speak there
; was distinct meaning beneath the
I careless tone and phraseology.
“Ah! yes. I did a bit of traveling
myself across the pond. Perhaps later
j wo will be able to refresh our mem
I orles. Are you on your, way to New
| York'.’’’
"Fortunately, yes.” the pseudo-Don
| Uamon replied with rhetorical four
j lsh. ”1 am a great admirer of your
! beautiful city, it is the wonder of
! tlie wodd, I have seen many, but
j only one New York. Its libraries, its
I museums, its art galleries—ah! 1 have
an antipathy to anything which takes
J me away for even an hour from its
! many wonders of science and beauty!"
Dicky's lips twisted again Into an* ir
i repressive grin, and I shared his pat
1 cut desire to laugh or* ight. The pic
ture of Harry Underwood voluntarily
spending any time iir libraries, muse
ums or art galleries when there was
a theater, or a cabaret to be found
open, was irresistibly comical. And I
knew that beneath his thick lensed
glasses his brilliant black eyes were
twinkling with mocking merriment.

Is Winter Time Your Backache Time?
Does Your Back Foretell Every Change of the Weather?
Do You Feel Old and Stiff and Suffer Sharp, Rheu
matic Pains? Then Look to Your Kidneys!
a RE winter months your backache months?
_^^_Does every cold, chill or attack of grip
leave you lame, achy and all worn out?
Does your back throb and ache until it seems
you just can’t keep going another day?
Then look to your kidneys! Grip, colds
and chills throw a heavy strain on the kid
neys. 'Jhey overload the blood with poisons
and impurities that the kidneys have to filter
off. The kidneys weaken under this rush of
new work; become congested and inflamed.
It’s little wonder, then, that Every cold
finds you suffering with torturing backache,
rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness and an
noying bladder irregularities.
Don’t wait! Delay may lead to serious
or chronic kidney sickness. Realize that your
kidneys have weakened in fighting the cold
credled poisons and give them the help they
need. Begin using Doan’s Kidney Pill* today.
Doan’* have helped thou&nds at such times
and should help you. Atk your neighbor!
“Use Doan’sSay These Omaha Folks:
CHAS. H. LUCE, retired, 2209 S. 21st
St., says: “If I caught cold it settled
in my kidneys and disordered them.
The kidney secretions were dark in color
and contained a brick-dust sediment.
I had to get up every hoar during the
night. Finally, a friend advised me to
use Doan’s Kidney Pills and about three
boxes stopped the trouble. I have not
been bothered to speak of since.”
MRS. W. S. LOTT, 4004 N.
26th St., says: “My kidneys
acted irregularly and if I took
cold the trouble was worse. I
suffered with backaches and the
use of Doan’s Kidney Pills gave me the
best of results. Doan’s regulated my
kidneys and relieved the backaches. I
have often recommended them to
others.”
