Inclosing a stamped envelop for reply Rc 0 S Pat OS- 8YSOPS18: Frank! Derwenl futt hae absolved Koger Baeelno-tan-ffrench from the tutplclon of murder the and Bobby Jonee have held over him. He hae explained eveiything about hie connection uith the corptt of Alan Caretairt. but he alio caete eome doubt on Frankift idea that perhape the murderer la Dr. Nlcholton, keeper 01 the drug cure to tehteh Roger is about to eend hie brother Henry b'teainnton - ffrench. Neverlhelete, he it inclined to agree uitth Frankie that tending Henry to On Nichol' eon might be dangeroue. Chapter 10 ANOTHER SNAG "T THINK one wa love and the other net buelness!" said Frank le. "Caratalrs wai carrying about the Cayman's photograph (or a reason. He wanted It identified by omebody, perhaps. Now listen- what happens? Someone, the male Cayman perhaps. Is following blm and seeing a good opportunity, steals up behind him In the mist and gives him a shove. Carstairs goes over the cliff with a startled fry. Male Oay man makes off as fast as be can- he doesn't know who may be about We'll say that he doesn't know that Alan Carstairs Is carrying about tbat photograph. What happens next? The photograph Is published' "Consternation In the Cayman menage." said Roger helpfully. "Exactly. What la to be done? The bold thing grasp the nettle. Who knows Carstairs as Carstairs? Hardly anyone In tbls country. Down goes Mrs. Cayman, weeping croco dile tears and recognizing body as that of a convenient brother. The two also do a little hocus-pocus of posting parcels to bolster up the walking tour story." "You know, Frank le, I think that's positively brilliant," said Roger with admiration. "1 think It's pretty good myself," said Frankie. "And you're quite right We ought to get busy on the track of the Caymans. 1 can't think why we haven't done so before." This was not quit true, since Frankie knew tbe reason quite well namely, that they bad been on the track of Roger himself, "What are we going to do about Mrs. Nicholson?" she asked abruptly. "What do you mean do about her?" "Well, the poor thing Is terrified to death. I do think you're callous about her, Roger." "I'm not really, but people who can't help themselves always Irri tate me." "Oh, but do be falrl What can she do? She's no money and nowhere to go." "The truth of the matter Is that you would find something to do," laid Roger with decision. Roger. It was clear, did not like them helpless. Molra, on the other hand, clearly did not think very much of Roger. She had called him weak and had scouted the possibility of bis having the guts to murder anyone. He was weak, perhaps but un- denlably be had charm. She had felt It from the first moment of arriving at Merroway Court. Roger said quietly, "It you liked, Frankie, you could make anything you chose of a man. . . ." Frankie felt a sudden little thrill and at the same time an acute em barrassment. She changed the sub led hastily. "About your brother," she said. "Do you still think he should go to the Orsnge?" "MO," said Roger. "I don't. After ' all. there are heaps of other places where he can be treated. The really Important thing Is to get Henry to agree." "Do you think that will be diffi cult?" asked Frankie. "I'm afraid It may be. You beard him the other night. On the other hand, if we just catch him In the re pentant mood, that's very different. Hullo here comes Sylvia." Mrs. Basslngton-ffrench emerged from the house and looked about her. Then seeing Roger and Frankie she walked across tbe grass to wards them. They could see that she was looking terribly worried and strained. "Roger," she begau, "I've been looking for you everywhere." Then, as Frankie made a movement to leave them "No, my dear, don't go. Of what use ar concealments? In any case, I tblnk you know sll there Is to know. You re suspected this Mialness for som time, haven't you?" Frankie nodded. "While I've been blind blind." said Sylvia bitterly. "Both of you saw what 1 never even suspected. I only wondered why Henry bad changed so to sll of us. It marie me very unhappy, but I never sutipected the reason." She paused, then went on again with a slight change of tone. SYRACUSE PREXY fiYRACt'sSS. N. T, Mrch 9.

Potofflc offlclala aald that If the bomb had not bwn discovered It would have ben de livered to the chancellor 'a office tiUa "As soon as Or. Nicholson told me the truth, I went straight to Henry. I've only just left him now." She paused, swallowing sob. "Roger it's going to be all right. He's agreed. He will go to the Orange and put himself In Dr. Nicholson's hands to morrow." "Oh, no!" The exclamation came from Roger and Frankie simultane ously. Sylvia looked at them, aston ished. Roger spoke awkwardly. "Do yon know, Sylvia, I've been thinking II over, and I don't believe the Grange would be a good plan, after all." "You think he can light It by him self?" asked Sylvia doubtfully. "No, I don't- But there ar other places places not so well, not so near at hand. I'm convinced that staying In this district would be I mistake." "I'm sure of It," said Frankie, com ing to bis rescue. "Oh, I don't agree," said Sylvia. "I couldn't bear to have blm go away somewhere. And Dr. Nicholson has been so kind and understanding. I shall feel happy about Henry's being under his charge." "I thought you didn't like Nichol son, Sylvia," said Roger. "I've changed my mind." She spoke simply. There was a moment's silence. The position was awkward. Neither Roger nor Sylvia knew quite what to say next. Poor Henry," said Sylvia. "He broke down. He was terribly upset at my knowing. He agreed tbat hst must fight this awful craving for my sake and Tommy's, but he said I hadn't a conception of what It meant. Oh, Roger, It seems so awful! But Dr. Nicholson was really kind. I trust him." All the same, I think It would be better " began Roger. SYLVIA turned on him. "I don't understand you, Roger. Why have you changed your mind? Half an hour ago you were all for Henry's going to the Orange." Well I've I've bad time to think the matter over since" Again Sylvia Interrupted. "Any way, I've made up my mind. Henry shall go to the Orange and nowhere else." They confronted her In silence. Then Roger said: "Do you know, I think 1 will rlngup Nicholson. He will be home now, I'd like just to have a talk with blm about matters." . Without waiting for her reply he turned away and went rapidly Into the house. The two women stood looking after him. "I cannot understand Roger," said Sylvia Impatiently. "About a quarter of an hour ago be was positively urging in e to arrange for Henry to go to tbe Orange." Her ton held a distinct note of anger. "All the same," eald Frankie, "I agree with him. I'm sura I've read somewhere that people ought al ways to go for a cur somewhere far away from their homes." "I think that's just nonsense," aid Sylvia. Frankie felt In a dilemma. Sylvia's unexpected obstinacy was making things difficult, and also she seemed suddenly to have become as violently pro-Nicholson as she formerly had been against him. It was very bard to know what arguments to use. An airplane passed low overhead In the gathering dusk, fllllnj the air with Its loud beat of engines. Both Sylvia and Frankie stared up at It, glad of the respite It afforded, since neither of them quite knew what to say next. It gsve frankie time to col lect her thoughts, and Sylvia time to recover from her fit of sudden anger. As the airplane disappeared over the trees and Its roar receded Into the distance, Sylvia turned abruptly to Frankie. "It's been so awful" she said brokenly. "And you all seem to want to send Henry far way from me." "No, no," said Frankie. "It wasn't that at all." - At a loss what to say or do next, Frankie relapsed Into silence. Pre, ently Roger came out again from the house. He seemed slightly breathless. "Nicholson Isn't In yet," he said. "I left a menage." "I don't see why you want to see Nicholson so urgently," said Sylvia. "You suggested this plan, and It' all arranged, and Henry has con sented." "1 think I've got som ssy In the matter, Sylvia," sal . Roger gently. "After all, I'm Henry's brother." You suggested the plan yourself," said Sylvia, obstinately. She bit hei Up, turned away, and went Into th house. fCef !! f!3:'S-'o. A flit CtriilU) Tomorrow death comas to the houae. COURT SMITH SAN Ql'ENTIN PRISON. Cl.. March .

She had never been In Holland, but she auoceaaf uily cautfht the spirit of the land oy a careful study of Dutch history and customs.
