Lillian . asked abruptly. . "You look better." ; "Mrs. Durkee's tea," I smiled. ."Then j.- &vim you j0 havo another cup' she said, and" I knew that I had received my cue., "Will it be too much trouble?" f turned Apologetically to Mrs. Durkee.

It was not until: we reached the second floor; however that I re alized how ' cleverly Lillian bad forestalled eny investigation of my keepsake trunk on the ' part of Mrs. Durkee. Every bedroom window was thrown wide : open, and sheets weighted down' at the corners with heavy articles covered- the heaps of clothing end mis cellaneous articles on the floors. ."Yon see.they emptied every trunk out and ; tumbled ' the con tents over, looking . for -moy."

CHAPTER 31. "THE THIRD. GREAT ADYEN TTJRft''' LlLLrAN' EX- , ' PLAIN'S WHAT IT IS. ' Now," said Lillian frpm her seat beside me in the car my fath er had given me, "now for the third great adventure!' ' 'Whar third?" I spoke without turning" my H head, 'lor if5 I have iearried tio other lesson in mo toring; I have mastered the rule which keeps a ' driver's 1 eyes on the road : in front, - especially through Village ' streets. . "Beeause there are three," she retorted, "Death, Marriage and House .

"I don't mean to." she return ed quickly, "but I do want to prepare you Just a little for the conditions . you 'are apt to meet. Now that we're out of the village on the country road, drive as slowly as you can, and give me those clippings v I put In your hands , this , mornings. Did you look them oVer?"

' - "Not a bit. 7 I can talk or listen all day, just so I'm not asked to look around." ' "Don't lose any sleep about my asking you to look around," Lil lian commented dryly. "If there's anything that makes me break an aviation altitude record It Is to see one of these would-be demon drivers with eyes traveling any where but' where -they should be But listen to this: ; f "'For sale. .

"I wonder If that five minutes means on foot or by fast motor," f observed with a cynicism born of reading out- leading American humorists, who hace educated the public -pretty generally as to the hidden- snags In real estate ad vertisements. ; "Motor, of course,, Lillian an swered.1 "What else do you ex pect?" ' - - ' . . "Nothing," I replied truthfully. "No improvements. ' That's1 bad, but if the , place is possible we could camn out this siunmer.it it were remodeled to our fancy - in time for us to live comfortably this winter. It sounds most at tractive. I think we'll take a look at that'. . , ' ' "Near the Station." ; "Here another one advertised by the same man," she went-on. "This sounds too good to be true. " 'Wonderful type of old colon ial manor house with all modern improvements. -j Immense old fire places, beamed ceilings, large plot' . 4 ; "That probably; means about 75 feet front, but sometimes they really tell' the truth. It might mean large 1 grounds at that. "' At aiiy rate; we can snatch a glimpse of it from the outside even if we don't Want to go In."1 ' "1 warn you I'm going ; into every house we look at today," I answered. "Sometimes the most unpromising exteriors hide won derful possibilities.". "You're ' an incurable romanti cist, aren't you, my dear?" Lil lian queried mockingly, but there was tenderness in hes amuse ment, and I was not in the least disturbed by it. "I admit It." I laughed. ' "Yon glory in it, you mean." she retorted. "But aren't we al most, in Hempstead?" ' , "Right around this curve In the road," I said, "we'll see the out skirts of the village. -But I have not the slightest idea where this man Jones is to be found." "Near the " railroad station," Lillian rejoined practically.; Tou never saw a real estate office in your life which wasn't so near the station that the agent could sit behind his window and sea prospective purchasers alighting from the train." . "To the raj I road station we go then," I laughed, guiding the ma chine into the iong.beautlful road which led i toward the station. "There! What did I tell you?"
