TWO KUSEHUKU NEWS-KLVIEW. KOSEHUKG. OKEGOM WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1930 WHERE'S EMILY?' if by Carolyn Well? l'V CHAPTEH XI, til. on. It's more hopeful than when The next morning rieniini! Stone he's serene and culm because started out by himself for a short I there's iKilliliii! to look into.' Walk, he said, before he took the train to New York. Aunt Judy offered him the cars In the Knollwood garage, but he said he preferred the train till time. His short walk took him to one place, only, a smull house on, tlge ' edge of the town. An unpielen tious place, clearly not the abode of society folk or even well-to-do citizens, Hut 'Stone was satisfied with what he learned there, and took the train a the little railroad stn lion with hope high In his breast. He out in the day in New Vork on some quest that seemed to In .v tia?tv trips from one .great business building to another. Anil Iroin each of these Fleming Stone emerged, more and more per turbed, more and more crestfallen, more and more with the ashy gray ness of hopeless despair settling down upon his fine, strong fuce. uone: ne iimi uiiimeii,. im - could I know? How could 1 gueasV. Have I really mel my Waterloo at last? II can't be possible. I'm so near the truth, so near a twin lion, and yet Where's Kmlly?" He went back to Knollwood broken and heartsick. Not entire ly despairing, for that was not bis nature, but so near it as lo leave but small leeway for hope. And he saw the car that was at the station to meet him, and real ized there was no one in it hut the chauffeur, he was .tglad. for he did not feel like talking to the young people just then. Ilv the time he reached Hie bouse he was his own man again and had concluded that In keep up ' the morale of the whole case lie ' must put on a more cheerful alii In'" u-ltirli lie m-nrccded to do. The result was that ho presented rattier an unreadable coiinienancf lo the group awaiting mm m tea table., ..- . , , ' ,i . "Good liunllng?"- Oililiy Mad lightly, for he knew better than to lie definitely curious. "I know." said the astute Hetty. ".Mr. Stone got part of what he wanted In New Vork, and part he didn't get." Again Stone was amazed at lier crspiracltv. though lie sadly real ised ihat though she spoke truly the part lie didn't get was what Is known as tne lion s snare. Hut ho only said: "Itlghl yon re. Hetty, as usual," and then he tlianged the subject to ither top (cs rind they all look'llie'hliir. ' ' The next dny Fleming Slone tept to his rooms much of .the lime: It was -Wednesday.- One day more and Kmlly would be missing a whole week, and already the con sensus oPHIUdiile opinion was thii she would never be seen again. Whatever hud happened to hor. or.yheveve.r- jbe- ivae,tliey fi)llrutij'f she woupl never bo round alive, 11 at all. Some few- hellved, tvlth the po lice, that she had Inadvertently killed Pauline Pennington, that her sudden .temper, had caused her to push Pnullne over the ruiling of the bridge, unci that, bnrritled al the position In which this put her. she had run away and would never come back. Others pooh-poohed Ibis theory ns neiug not at all like Kmlly Dunne to refuse to face the music 111 any emergency, ami these stuck to the belief that she had been suited for the diamonds she wore, and, having put up a fight, had been killed or mortally Injured and had been curried off. Stone rejoined the family at lea time, and he looked pale and anxious. "Where does the doctor live?" he asked. "Dorlor Union." They told him and he asked for a cur to take him to. call tin the medical man. Hetty offered to go along, lint Stone gently declined her company and went off alone. "Thul muti'u iiivlUlU, i-.....-l,..l Hetty said, ami Peto responded: "I'm glad of It. And I don't mean thai the way It sounds. 1 mean, lm glad he's gol. something to worry over soluethlng lo chew Stone had a short Interview with Doctor Kulon, but It was a satis factory one. He learned from the medical mail some facts that he could have found out in no other way, .and they went far to confirm wiiat he had called the glimmer of a glow of light on the dark sub ject. Ho went hack, and going at once to his rooms, he dressed carefully for dinner. For some aesthetic reason, It always helped Fleming Stone lo be well dreSBed. Kspecial ly when he felt dissatisfied with himself or his work. And in this case he did feel so. Never before had nearly a week elapsed after a crime, without his having lound some strong clues or evidence, if not, indeed, having solved the whole question. "Hut you have some clues some evidence," he remnrked to tils reflection in the mirror. "Now the thing it to hang on to them and work them up; don't let go of a single loose end." - "I shan't." the reflection In the mirror promised him. He went downstairs, lo receive very genuine compliments from Hetty on his dressy effects.

"Mis Kmlly is here!" "Ilress de I,awd," murmured the young negress fervently, and then fell back unobtrusively, yet at hand if needed. "Whar's she been, Mis' Bell?" Pearl whispered. "Hush, we don't know. Don't make any riols" "No, ma'am." Yet noise did not disturb Emily Tluane. She lay In a dead faint, and beyond holding sal volatile lo her nose and fanning her lightly, they dared not go. Almost no word was spoken as they awaited the coming of the doctor. Betty quietly scanned her ap pearance. ; ' She was at fired just as she was when she had left the tea, when she had told Rodney she was go ing to the hospital and had gone where? Her frock, though Bomewhat tumbled, waa not torn or soiled. Her shoes showed no sign of hard wear or unusual dust or dirt. She had on no wrap and so bat, and one hand clutched tightly the diamond necklace that bung round ber throat. Sayre, on his knees at ber Bide looked at her as It be could never look his fill; as If be feared it was all a dream and be must soon awaken. Aunt Judy went to ber cbalr and sat there, wondering yet grate ful that Emily waa back with tbem, w hatever her lot might be. (To Be Continued Tomorrow) Copyright 1830. King Features Syndicate, Inc.
