XXIX gIDNEY went into the St George Hotel at two o'clock in the afternoon and asked the clerk where she could find Mr. Hubert Milgrim. Not that she really thought it would do any good; but this was Friday, this was the dead line, and even the futile effort was better than none at all. The clerk said he had no idea under the sun w here Mr. Milgrim was to be found. "Isn't he registered here?" "He was," the clerk admitted. "Mr. Milgrim has been our guest since last April. He checked out a while ago. And Mr. Breen, too." "Breen?" His friend, and comrade." The rlerk smiled pleasantly, having an eye for a girl with a face like that. "I think they left at once, but maybe not. It's possible they're in the cafe, or still up in the rooms they ve been occupying. Third lloor, 320 and 322, il you want to look for them." Sidney said, "Thank you," and went to the door of the cafe. But she wouldn't know Mr. Milgrim if she saw him; she'd never even heard of Mr. Breen. She asked the hed waiter if the gentlemen were dining there; the head waiter said no, not today. She went back through the lobby to the elevator and got oft at the third floor. It wis a forlorn hope, nothing more Room 320 was empty as she had feared; though showing signs of recent tenancy, it was neat Room 322 was just as empty, but not so neat. Ciearet ashes and stubs soiled the carpet, paper torn or wadded into balls cluttered the bureau top and spilled over into a brimming waste-basket. A dis- carded envelope was addressed to "Mr. Richard Breen." This must have been his room then, and Mr. Breen obviously was a person of slovenly habits who had left in some haste. Well, the point was, and the only point, that he had gone, and Mr. Milgrim with him and with Mr. Milgrim the money Papa had borrowed from Jeff, which belonged rightfully to Jeff and nobody else and would have taken him to New York which Sidney had thought she somehow might recover, probably by put- mg the case squarely before Mr. Milgrim and beseeching his better instincts. 4i "jVO soap," Sidney thought, x "That's that. The jig is up." She was turning away w hen she saw the torn shreds of the letter. They were lying on the carpet and a little draft of wind, perhaps only the flutter of Sidney's skirt as she moved, stirred them so that they seemed to be alive, beckoning. Strips of paper, somebody's letter in lengthwise tatters. Of course, Sidney didn't know whose letter it was. But she 'looked down, and then she knew. Rose's writing, a schoolgirl Spencerian. very legible; and the letterhead that of the Willard Ho tel, Washington. "Darling Rick, I miss you eo much. . . . Nothing matters to me but. . . . Do you remember how we. . . . Every minute we're apart. . . . I've loved you since that day . . ." Sidney read the fragmentary sentences; she could guess how they had ended, with phrases equally ingenuous, but that didn't help her to understand them. Not at first. "Rick, dearest, the convocation is. . . . All I'm thinking of, dream ing. ... You know how I hated coming. ... I'll never love any body but you, and. . . ." Leaning against the wall, read ing, fingering the shreds, Sidney began to see in them not only Rose's artless avowals; other things too, small and puzzling in consistencies nf hehavior. evasions. contradictions, a Rese who had 1 changed gradually yet greatly since Richard Ereen. He had been here in Blakesville, the clerk said, since last April. Yes, that would be about the time, wouldn't it? Before the night at Mrs. Rutherford Earle's house and Rose's election as the Daugh ters of the Old Dominion's dele gate, before her meeting with Dixon Thayer, and Dixon's visit and proposal. April? "Darling Rick. Rick, dearest." Poor Dixon! Why, he'd never had a chance! Spring, summer, and now Sep tember, and Richard gone. But he must have been lost to Rose, drop ping out of the picture somewhere, somehow, in those intervening months. What was he like? What could he have been like? "I'll never love anybody but you." Was that true, Sidney won dered. Because if it was. Rose would be terribly hurt. Or already had been hurt. Or Sidney believed suddenly that she ought to go Some. if- X if v " WABASH (Special) A Colbert family reunion was held at the Tom Colbert home in WecDinc Water Sunday when 34 relatives gathered with well filled baskets.

RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL Mrs. Glen Carneal returned .from Clarkson hospital in Omaha where she recently underwent an operation. AT almost that very moment, Major Cameron, feeling rather raddled. was entering Judge Logan's office. Just over the sill, the Major halted, for ne saw that someone had preceded him. Judee Logan and this other caller were standing by the window, they seemed to be in argument. "You're not telling me, Logan," tie caller shouted, "that this old buzzard knew nothing about " "Now don't burst a blood ves sel," Judge Logan said. "Eut. drat it, I wasn't born yesterday!" "Take it easy," Judge Logan said. The Major coughed. "Oh," Judge Logan said, swing ing on his heel. "Oh, hello, Major Cameron. Let me introduce you to Mr. Lardner, the. county prose cutor." The Major bowed; Mr. Lardner onlv grunted. "Sit dewn," Judge Lcgan said. They all sat down, the Major diffidently, cn the edge of a chair. Mr. Lardner flinging himself intc the depths of his chair, grunting biting off the cud of a cigar, light ing t.ie ciwrar.
