'WHERE'S EMILV?'
T f by Carolyn Wells 1
CHAPTER XXXIX
"Not so deep as the big ravine,"
he said, "but a long enough fall to
kill auybody. 1 see they've fixed
up the vines."
"Ves, the Village Improvement
Society looked after that as soon
as the police allowed It. Now,"
as Stone started on azain, "there's
the Pennington bouse."
"Where?" .
"Look higher up. See, you can
Jut see the roof through the trees."
"Gracious, 1 shouldn't want lo
live there. Why don't they cut
out enough to muke a clearing?"
"It doesn't seem white so treesy
when you get up to it," volun
teered Betty. "Want to go up?"
"Can't see any reason for It,"
Stone sulci, looking at his watch,
"litiess we'd better be about our
business. Whore's the hospital?"
It was pointed out to him, but
be took slight interest.
"What I want now," he said, "is
to have you take me to call briefly
on two or three of the most know
ins people in Hllldale, I mean the
ones who know most about gossipy
goings on, and include, if you
please, the lady who was last at
the tea Marsden, is the name?"
"All right," Deity chirped, feeling
that this was her chance. "I'll
know where to go, Pete. Not the
Stevensons', not the Ballards'. The
MarEdena' come first, and Ithen
Sally Kirke's and Jane Wolcott's."
"Good choice," Pete approved.
".Marsdens' it Is."
They went to the Marsden house,
another larse, beautiful mansion,
and were received most kindly.
Mrs. Marsden, s,h elderly dame,
was disinclined to talk much, but
her niece, a vivacious young per
son, more than made up for it.
"Isn't It just too terrible?" Miss
Marsden exclaimed. "To think of
Emily and Pauline both being
there with us at the tea, and now
where are they?"
Her dramatic rendition of these
words was accompanied by elo
quent gestures of despairing in
quiry. Fleming Stone gave her no di
rect answer, but said:
"That's what we're trying to
learn. Miss Marsden. Maybe you
can help us. Have you a good
memory?"
"Fine," .she .declared. "Why.
Anniie says I can remember "
Stone cut short her reminis
cences," not rudely, but decidedly.
"Then, please see If you can re
member the exact happenlnss of
your departure from Knollwood
after the tea there last Thursday."
"Of course I can,; I've often
thought it over. It seems so
strange "
"Tell It, Just as It happened."
"Why. It was this way. I don't
know anything about time, for 1 j
never do. But Auntie and I were
w aiting to shake -bands and say
good-by to Mrs. Bell. We had al
ready told Emily we were going.
The affair was informal, you know,
but we always are careful to be
polite to Mrs. Bell. She's such a
dear. 'Well, we were about the
last ones. Just ahead of us the
Pennintons were saying good by.
As soon as they turned away from
Mrs. Bell, Auntie and 1 stepped up
to her and told her what a nice
time we'd had,, and all that, and
then we came away. The Pen
ningtons were just in front of us,
but not quite within speaking dis
tance. Anyway, we didn't speak
to them. They went on till they
came to the place where the street
goes off to Wallace's, and then
they stood still and said a few
words I didn't hear, of course
and then Mr. Pennington turned
off toward Wallace's and Mrs. Pen
nington kept straight on. She came
to the bridge over the little ravine,
and she stopped and stoo.X there,
as if she was waiting for her hus
band. So, we passed her there.
I was going to speak to her, but
she was leaning over the Tail, and
she didn't look up or turn around,
so I didn't think I'd better speak.
1 didn't know her so awfully well.
So we went on, and, of course, 1
thought no more about it, then. We
turned at the bend, and I couldn't
see her anymore, and 1 didn't look
back anyway. I simply assumed
that she waited for her husband
MacMarr Stores wish to thank the people of Douglas
county for their wonderful support of the grand opening
of our new store in the Newland building, last Saturday.
The salespeople made every effort to serve .you satisf ac-
torily and efficiently but for the patience and generous
attitude of. the crowds that thronged our store from open
ing hour to late at night this would have been impossible.
With our big increase in volume we will be able to pass on
bigger and better savings to you.

and they went on home together.
That's all I know about it."
"Thank you. Miss Marsden,
you've stated it very clearly. And
you saw nothing of Miss Duane?"
"Nothing at all."
"You don't know whether Mrs.
Pennington had on a fur neck
piece or not?"
"I couldn't swear to that. I think
she had nothing of the sort, any
way not around her neck. But she
might have bad one in her hand."
"You've told this story before?"
"Oh, Lord, yes. Every member
of the police force wanted to bear
It, so I've told it over and over
again. Out always the same. I'm
sure of my facts, and I saw every
thing just exactly as I've described
it, and I saw nothing more."
"If Miss Dunne had been ahead
of you and your aunt, would you
not have seen her as you turned
the bend In the road, after passing
Mrs. Pennington?"
Why, yes, probably. I never
thought of that. Still, it was get
ting dark and 1 might not "
"Dark at five o'clock?"
"Yes, It was that day. It was
very clondy, and we thought a
thunderstorm was coining up, but
It went around to the north, as
they so often do."
"Miss Marsden, what is your
opinion of the Hindu, Lai Singh?"
It there was' one thing t:ora
Marsden loved better than another.
it was to express her opinions of
people, so she went at it with
gusto.
"He's a dear," she' said, " a per
feet dear! Some people say h-i'e
a faker, but I don't-care anything
about that. I mean, I don't cure
whether he is or not. He Interests
me tremendously, and I Just simply
adore him. Oh, he has such ways
with him! Why, Just the way ho
rolls his eyes is too adorable! Yon
can't get nie lo say a word agnlnBl
that gorgeous person! t
"I don't want you to," and Stohe
smiled In sympathy with her en
thusiasm. "But, with 'all your ad
miration of him, don't you some
times think he's just a wee nit
mercenary?"
''Aren't we all?" she challenged.
"Now don't you stir up any
trouble for that ray of sunlight, or
you'll have me to rockon with."
Clearly, Miss Marsden was far
more deeply Interested In the Hin
du than In either of her two friends
to whom disaster had come, and
feeling he had lea-'d all sh'j
could tell him. Stone rose to go.
"Well, by ginger, I'll bet you
didn't learn -much there," opined
Glbby, as they took to the road
again."
"All's fish that comes to my
net," Stone murmured In reply.
"Now for the gossipiest tongue In
all Hilldale."
"Follow me," said Betty, import
antly, and she led them to Sally
Kirke's charming cottage.
Smaller than most of the houses,
it was a love of a bijou residence,
and again Stone found his sense of
aesthetic values gratified by the
exquisite Interior of Miss Kirke's
home.
She was a bachelor girl, living
with a duenna, which fully satis
fied HHldale's requirements of pro
prlety, and she prided herself oh
being afraid of nobody's opinion.
She Baid what she chose and did
what she chose, regardless of so
cial comment, and so greatly did
she possess the superior complex
that she managed to remain top of
the heap, above and beyond crit
icism. (To Be Continued Tomorrow)
