The j li buried miles away from There." Hut just shows how little you b about anything," replied kr with a toss of the head. Myra'i eyebrows lifted, but she ' said nothing mora. rpHE next day Myra was sent again to the office of Mr. Ran som. And again she saw the copper-beaded girl tt a desk. There was something familiar about her that puzzled Myra and she could not place it Something that made the girl seem out of place at a desk. However, she greeted ber with a smile and the girl was equally cordial. Myra stopped on Impulse. "Do you remember that officer you saw me with on the train yesterday?" The girl blushed faintly and Myra decided that she did. An irresistible urge toward matchmaking was upon Myra and she pressed her question. "We are going up to Ferdy Lorton's place this weekend. The artist, you know. I was wondering if you would care to join us? It's all very informal, but he has an aunt up there who looks after the place and as an alibi for anxious parents if your parents are the anxious kind. Again the girl smiled slightly and again Myra wondered what it was about her that she could not place. "Don't bother to let me know now," said Myra. "Telephone me at the office if you would .care to join us." That afternoon Myra telephoned Ferdy. "I've hooked her," she said. "She called half an hour ago to say she would come." Ferdy laughed. "What is her name?" "Fay Ransom, daughter of the stockbroker." Ferdy whistled at the other end of the telephone. "Fay Ransom?" "Do you know her?" asked Myra. But Ferdy was ln a Puckish mood. He laughed aloud and rang off. "Darn you," mumbled Myra In to the buzzing telephone. "What are you up to, Ferdy Lorton?" She shrugged and replace the receiver. Wasn't Fay likely to be enough of a problem, without adding mystery to the plot? " p'ERDY'S place ln the lovely Laurentlans was just 60 miles from Montreal, yet as secluded as if it had been built upon the highest crag in the Canadian wilds. Tucked away off the beaten track in a countryside of dirt roads, lakes and wooded hills, It was a fairly large estate and had a home farm complete with a French-Canadian family who did the chores for Ferdy. The house itself was a low, sprawling affair which had grown charTningly as extra space had been added to the original cottage. It was set on a great outcrop of rock at the very top of a low hill, and its windows gazed out on every side over the treetops of thickly wooded hillsides. It was comfortably furnished and equipped because Ferdy spent a great deal of his time there, working outdoors or painting in the studio built onto the house while his aunt attended to the housekeeping. He arrived there alone a day before he expected his guests and announced to his aunt that aha could expect a houseful of guest for the weekend. She looked at her favorite nephew with a quizzical smile. "Well, It's nice to know in ad vance. Usually you arrive unan nounced bringing hordes of strange people with you." She was a small woman, so completely composed under all circumstances that it seemed as if the calm of the Laurentian coun try had become an essential part of her nature. Conveniently, too, she was thoroughly conditioned to Ferdy's whimsies in the way of guests. "Do I know any of the people who are coming up?" she asked. Ferdy wandered around the wide lounge, across to the plate glass window that filled an alcove and gave an uninterrupted view of a great sweep of country. "Yes. There is at least one you like. Myra Mack." "Ha," replied his aunt. "I hope nr Sng is going to happen then." 'Vhat on earth do you mean?" asked Ferdy with a grin. "You know very well," said his aunt. "She is a very nice girl with a lot of character, but every time she comes here something extraordinary happens. Who else?" Ferdy listed the others. His aunt listened patiently. "Must you always be asking complete stranges up here?" Ferdy grinned. He turned back' to his aunt and lifted a cautioning finger at her. "You know very well you are as bad as I am. You always say that nothing is so fas cinating as the latest crop of young things. I'm merely pandering to your curiosity and bringing up a fair selection." She smiled her admission of what he said. "True. All the same, that Mack girl has a flair for complications. We'll have any thing from a circus to a triple wedding before this weekend is over."
