Lillian and Madge Investigate (lie
Stranger'* Trunk. •
The key turned In the lock of the
trunk, and l.illian buaied herself
with the hasps of the safety fasten
ings. At the last one she paused, and
straightening, looked at me.
"I suppose you are wondering
where I found this key,” site Bald,
and I was furious that I could not
control the flush which revealed that
J had been consumed with curiosity
upon that very point,
“You aren't any more curious than
T was,” Lillian commented. "I don't
know when anything has interested
loe more than the odd case of this
girl. I have a hunch—the absurdest
thing—that she's linked to something
vital in which I'm concerned, if I
only can find the clue.”
I stared at her in amazement that
held a tinge of fright. But Lillian's
hright casual smile was an antidote
for any psychic terrors.
“Listen to This!”
“You felt it too, I know,” site said.
“Well! A double hunch ought to be
worth working out. But If you want
a leaf from a third reel, listen to
1his: I found this key," she pointed
to It impressively, “with the one to
her suitcase and the baggage check
for her trunk In a small oiled silk
^ package tied to ttie chain from which
that hag depends. Also, In the pack
age was a small envelope containing
a bundled dollar 1>III, with the in
scription printed, 'To he used as
needed.’ What do you think of that'.’"
“That somebody was anxious to in
sure that she he well treated,” 1
said, knowing, however, that she
needed no answer to the perfunctory
question,
“Of course,” she assented, “Tf
there was any other reason we'll
have to wait for it, Just as we will
fur the key to that valise.’ I Imagine
it's on a cord twined around her
waist underneath her clothing. It
was'nt around her neck nor attached
Li the upper part of the dress, for
I made a hasty but thorough search
at the time X removed the oiled pack
et from the valise before the phy
sician came In. That will have to
wait, however. She will have to be
come calmer—or unconscious—before
I can do anything about that."
1 gave her a startled glance. “Po
you expect—?" I began, stopped In
confusion, remembering Lillian's dis
like for questions. But this one evi
dently did not disturb her.
“That she’ll become unconscious
again?” she countered. “I think It
very likely, hut not Just yet. The
physician warned me, however, that
she was In an exhausted state, phy
sically and mentally and that while
a collapse was not imminent, yet It
would probably come. But we ll meet
that when it comes. Just now, well
look through this trunk.”
She threw liack the lid, and lifting
the inner lids of tray and hat box.
disclosed a hat of dark blue velvet
a hath robe, a heavy sweater, a box
with two pair of suede gloves, an
other with two dozen handkerchiefs,
and a crudely fancy box containing
two bottles <jf perfume.
Lillian lifted them all up. satisfied
herself that there was nothing more
lit the upper Iray, then lifted It out.
“Well come back to this later,"
she said, and bent over the lower
tray.
“Just lay these on the lied, as 1
hand them to you,” she said, "and
catalogue them In that memury of
yours, while you do it.”
“Want You io (/link This.”
There was not much to catalogue,
three changes nf underwear, four
pair of woolen stockings and two of
silk, a wool dress, a raincoat, two
eotton house dresses, a. "ready-made”
gown of something the color of the
hat, and two pair of shoes. When I
hsd laid them all out, Lillian
atiaightened herself up and drew a
long breath.
“I want you to check up on this.”
she said, “an we ll make no miatake.
You know, find out if there's a dls
tlnguishing mark nn anything, cither
a maker's name, or a personal mark
ing.”
1 nodded, for I did know. It was
an old game to me, one in which I
had assisted I.llliun many a time. We
went at the task, slowly, methodic
idly, and when we had finished and
every article was hack in it's trunk,
Lillian and I looked at each other
significantly,
"Did you ever see a more thorough
job?” she asked.
"No, nor a queerer one,” T an
swered. "There isn't a distinguish
ing mark of any kind anywhere. Nor
is there in the suitcase, I've been
through it. What else do you notice
about this job?”

the sleeping princkm
On the Stairs of the enchanted
palace, the prince passed a young
page w 1111 a guitar in his hand. His
fingers rested upon the strings but
no sound came forth. He, too, seemed
under a magic spell.
I’p the stairs went the daring
prince, down another hall, arid fina 11 \
into »a wonderful room, all hung
with tiie richest sort of curtains.
Then his eyes lit on tiie fairest
thing in all the beautiful room—a
voting girl lying fast asleep on a
velvet couch. The prince drew near
and looked down at her. He had
never seen any one so lovely In all
ills life, lie knelt down beside her to
look at her more closely.
And as he watched, the eyelids of
the sleeping princess fluttered. The
end of the hundred years had come
at last!

guitar is brown. He will take part

Dear Martha Allen: 1 received ft

present ami 1 do not like it. It is
not an engagement ring, but n ring
for my little finger. I would like to
know' how much it cost and also
would like to change it. Do you
think it would lie all right to question
mv fiance about the price aiul suggest
that 1 change it?
DISAPPOINTED.
Do not ask the price of the ring
and do not ask to change it: you
would hurt your fiance’s feelings by
implying you do not like his taste.
After you are married he careful ns
well as now. Some wives make their
husbands miserable by complaining
about gifts.
Dear Miss Allen: I am a man of
30. A woman friends is ID years
older than l am. 1 think quite a hit
of her. She has some property, hut
I think more of her. Should I wait
and try to get a partner nearer my
own age? W. J.
Marriage between a man of 30 and
a woman of 45 is not to he ad vised.
In five years she will begin to age
perceptibly, while you have much
time ahead of you in which to be
young.

Was She
aFool?
To satisfy her parents,
Evelyn became engaged to
Eugene. But she was not
happy. In her eyes, Eugene
was too perfect,too gentle and
gravely correct. The ideal
* lover she dreamed of had in
him something of the savage.
She pictured him as big, virile,
masterful, brave. Then in the
black, frozen wastes of Alaska,
a devil, disguised as Evelyn's
ideal of a “man”, came into
her life. Followed a drama of
elemental passion, fierce hate
and fiercer love that was to
test Eugene’s manhood to the
limit and try Evelyn’s very
soul. The outcome is as thrill
ing as it is unexpected. Evelyn
tells the story under the title
of "The Primitive Lover.”
