Guy Westurn is the only one to whom Al'son can turn, and tioio Daphne hns surcreiied in pre)tidlelno Mr, Rede avatnet him. Alteon defies loth her lather and her prospective step-mother, and dashes Irom the room. Chapter iS LOVE 'ITTHAT doe It matter what she ''says?" Daphne asked, softly. "You don't believe her, do you?" Both arms locked round hl neck, he smiled up at him wistfully. "Believe that you're marrying me for my money?" Robert laughed. "No, I don't! Apart from anything nlse, I haven't got any of my own, have I?" Daphne slid from his arms and patted down his hair. She said softly, "It was rather silly ot her wasn't It? But I don't sup pose she realizes, Bob, that all the money Is tied up on her and that you can't leave me a thing. Not that I want you to, my dear. I'm not as mercenary as all that." . "You mercenary!" he laughed again, tweaked her ear. "You haven't even got a business head, have you? Imagining that your ac count to in credit when It was Chester Squara Is unused to overdrawn! By tho way, yon paid that check In?" "Yes. The bank manager nearly had a lit, when I explained how I'd come to give the post-dated one. Ho Bald I'd better get you to make ours a Joint account, so that you could keep on eye on me." Daphne gave a gurgling laugh at the remem brance. "He's such a nice man. He was quite fatherly! Patting my arm and wanting to know what I'd done about settlements and whether you'd Insured your life 1 had quite a lot of trouble to get away." "Oh. by the way, about Insuring I've been thinking. It might be the best plan if I did Insure my life In your favor. I've been thinking over what you said last night and that Is the simplest way," said Robert "ML dear, you misunderstood L me. Daphne was full of ten der concern. "I only said that I knew how dimcult It was to keep money put aside. That something turns ur, generally, and one leaves it, that's all." "That's Just It. If I insure, you aro provided for, whatvr hap pens." "Don't! When you talk tike that you make me miserable." She clung to him suddenly, buried her head in bis shoulder, rubbing her cheek against him. "I'll Insure for ten thousand to morrow and we won't talk about It again," be promised. "It makes me miserable when I think that I might leave you again penniless." "Please!" she Implored, and clapped both hands over her ears, "don't say such things!" "I won't then." Robert laughed. Til Just do It and say nothing but you know one of us must be prac tical! I'm only thinking of you." She kissed him swiftly, very ar dently. "I know you are. I'm a little owl. ren't I? Rut you'll have to be wise for both of us, that's all." She cud dled close into his arms. "You know, Rob. you're marrying an Idiot when It comes to money! The stuff goes to my head.

They suited me so well and they were really cheap!" ALISON had not gone to her room. When she slammed the boudoir door, she ran down the stairs, tug ging on her bat as she fled out ot the front door and slammed that too. People turned round to stare at her as she darted down the prim steps and ran headlong across Chester Square. A respectable and even dull neigh borhood, Chester Square Is unused to pretty girls rushing madly with fever-bright eyes and flushed faces along Its sombre streets. She reached the corner of Ebury Street breathless and panic-stricken. Sup pose he had gone? But the shabby blue Rover wal waiting, drawn up by the curb. "There you are!" Alison did not answer. She leaped Into the car and slammed that dooi too. "Hullo? What's up?" He looke startled, naturally. "Don't talk to me for a minute and drive like smoke," she begged. "I'm almost speechless with rage, that'i all." pretty girls ruining madly. AU right But Juat look at this.' He dropped an early News intt; her lap and obeyed her order almost too literally. The car Jumped for ward, shaved the corner out Into Constitution Hill, took the Bucking ham Palace Road bend on two wheels and went up Into the Park at a pace which defied all regula tions. They missed a shocked Rolls by mere Inches as they did the whirl! gig around the statue of the old Queen, and touched sixty In the Mall. But Alison, oblivious of the risks which they ran, sat pallid, staring at the paper on her knee. Only a paragraph wedged In be tween the victory of the Arsenal and a boxer's wedding plans; a para graph with the beading In thick black print. "BODY IN AN EMPTY HOUSE." Below: "New tenants, breaking Into a locked cellar In the Croft House, Warley, Sussex, today found the body of a man who had evidently been dead some time. "The police, called In at once, are still examining the premises and can make no statement but It ap pears that the body must have lain there at least four days. The fact that the door was locked and the key missing Is a suspicious circum stance." "Well?" The car had stopped, held up at the top of St James's Street and Guy looked round grimly. "Four days but but that's the night we were there!" Alison stanv mered. "I don't understand! I mean, how could a body have got there?" "Pretty queer. Isn't it?" "You looked In every corner of the place. If n body had been there we must've seen It!" "You'd thl-'c so." "I went right along as far as the coal cellar in the morning when I turned the lights out, and I didn't see anything." "Well, we know one thing now, anyway," said Guy grimly. "He was a ghost."

Minn. (UP) Belief that a, tribe of ancient Norse men visited this terirtory In the 14th century was voiced by P. T. Oustav aon. Pequot, Minn., nationally known anthropologist, after a study of sev eral stones at Cormorant Lake near here known as the "Norse Anchor o tones." After viewing the stones. Oustav- son declared that the runic Inscrip tion on the famous Kensington Rune- stone fits entirely with the Cormor ant Lake stones. The Inscription on the Kensing ton stone reads: "Eight Qoths and 22 Norwegians on exploration Journey from Vlneland Westward. We had camp by two skerries one day Journey north from this stone. We fished one day. When we returned home we found 10 men red with blood and dead. Ave Maria. Save from evil!
