S'ivholson is the moil likely candidal lor the murder if of Alan Varstairs.

Nicholson's drug cure, in any cans some very disgusting people, nnmtd Vaumnn who apparently live in London, seem Ukfy to hold the key. And Dr. Nicholson's olfo Molrtx mvsl be fflfcen nwajt from, her possibly murderous husband. Ctaaptor S3 MOIRA DISAPPEARS tOW, where were wet Oh, yei, rescue of Molra. Tou'd better bring the car round t halt-past tea. I'll drive over to the Orange, ask for Molra, and, If Nicholson's there when I see her, I'll remind her of her prom lee to come and star with me and carry her off then and there." "Excellent. FranVle. I'm glad we're sot going to waste any time. I've a horror of another accident happening," "Half-past ten., then," aald Frankle. , By the time she got bade to Mer roway Court It was halt-past nine. Breakfast had just been brought In. and Roger was pouring himself out some coffee. lie looked 111 and worn. Frankle paused, and then ex plained her plana for departure. "I suppose you'll have to go, said Roger resentfully. "The la quest's on Friday. I'll let you know if you're wanted for It. It all de pends on the Coroner." '. Bobby brought the car round at half-past ten. Frankle's luggage was brough down. She aald good-bye to Tommy aad left a note for Sylvia. Tbe Bentley drove away. They covered the distance to the Orange In a very ahort time. Frankle iad never been there be fore, and the big Iron gates and the overgrown ahrubbery depressed her spirits. They drove up to the front door and Bobby got down and rang tbe bell. It waa not answered for some minutes. Finally a woman In Durse'a kit opened It. "Mrs. Nicholson!" said Bobby. - The woman hesitated, then with drew Into the hall and opened the door wider. Frankle Jumped out of the car and passed Into the house. The door closed behind her. Quite Irrationally ahe felt afraid r- as thought she were here, In this sin ister home, a prisoner, "Nonsense!" she told herself. And, shaking oil tbe ridiculous feeling, she followed the nurse up stairs and along a passage. The nurse threw open a door and Frankle passed Into a small sitting room daintily furnished with cheerful chlntr.es' and flowers In vases. About five minutes passed aud then the door opened and Dr. Nichol son came In. "Good-morning," she said. , "Oond-mornlng, Lady Frances, Ton have not come to bring me bad news of Mrs. Baaslnrton-ffrench, I hope?" "She was still asleep when I left." aald Frankle. "Poor lady. Her own doctor Is, of course, looking after berl" "Oh, yes." She paused, then said, "I'm aur you're busy. I mustn't take up your time, Dr. Nicholson, t really called to see your wife." Was It only a fancy, or did tbe pale-blue eyes behind the strong glasses harden ever so slightly? "That waa vary kind." "I want to persuade her to coma to me for a visit She's practically promised to." Frankle smiled again. "Why, now, that's really very kind o' you, Lady Frances very kind Indeed. I'm sure Molra would have cnjoved that very much." "'II'OULD have'?" asked Frankle ' ' shHrply. Or. Nicholson smiled. "Unfortu nately my wife went away this morning." . "Went away?" aald Frankle blankly. "Where?" "Ob, Just for a Utile change. Oc casionally Molra feels she must hare a little excitement and then off she goes." "You don't know where she has gono?",sald Frankle. "London. I Imagine. Shops and theatres. You know the sort of thing." "1 am going up to London today," she said lightly. "Will you give me her address?" "She I'stially stays at the Savoy." said Dr. Nicholson. Me held tbe door open and Frankle found herself shaking hands with him and being ushered lo the front door. TOURIST WILL PUN PUBLICIIYi ftETATTl-F. Wash.. March 13 (AP) Ray W. riark, president of the Pa cific Northwest Tourist ansociatlon. annoumed a meeting of dlnmtors on Saturday at Spokane to complete plun for "telling the world about the Pacific norlhment" (his stimmer. "I look to see uniform action on hr part of the 12 western statee to publinre the a est as a large unit during the next two yeara." Clark mid. "The rtwult of the one and a hair years" activity of the Pacific Northwest asuorlatlon baa attracted the attention of our friends In Call fornla and I am quit sure an all western advertlflnit procrrani will be started, possibly this fall, ! Bobby bad some ado to preserve his Impassive chauffeur's demeanor aa Frankle came out alone. Tbe car swept down the drive and out through the gates. Then, when they came to an empty bit of road, Bobby pulled up and looked Inquiringly at his companion. "What about It?" he asked. Rather pale, Frankle replied, "Bobby I don't like It. Apparently, abe'a gone away." "Gone away? This morning?" "Or last night." "Without a word to us?" "Bobby, I Just don't believe It. The man waa lying. I'm aura of It" They were both silent for a min ute or two, then Bobby stated hla deductions In a calmer tone. "She must be atlll alive ibecauae of disposing of the body and all that Her death would have to aeem natural and accidental." "Well," aald Frankle, "what are we going to do?" Bobby thought for a minute. "1 don't think you can do anything," he said at last "Tou'd better go back to London. Tou auggested try ing to trace tbe Caymans. Go on with that" "Oh, Bobby!" "My dear, you can't be of any use down here. You're known very well known by now. Nicholson may auspect, but he can't be aure that you know anything. You go back to town and I'll atay." "At the Anglera" Arms?" "No, I think your chauffeur will now disappear. I shall take up my headquarters at Ambledever tbat'a ten miles away and If Molra'a atlll In that beastly bonse I shall And her." Frankle demurred a little. "Bobby, you will be caroful?" "I shall be cunning aa tbe ser pent." With rather a heavy heart Frankle gave In. Sbe waa not one, however, to let the grass grow under her feet At three o'clock that afternoon, a fashionably but soberly dressed yqung woman with plnce-n and an earnest frown might have been seen approaching St. Leonard's Gardens, a aheat of pamphlets and papera In her band. , FRANKIE walked along looking up at the numbers. Suddenly she came to a halt with a grimace of vexation. No. 17 had a board up' announ cing that it was to be sold or let unfurnished. Frar.kle Immediately removed the nince-nes and tbe earnest air. The nam'js of aeveral bouse agenta were given. Frankle selected two and wrote them down. Tbe first agenta were Messrs. Gordon & Porter of Praed Street "Oood-mornlng," said Frankle. "1 wonder It you can give me the ad dress of a Mr, Cayman? He was until recently at 17 St. Leonard's Gardens." "That's right," said the young man to whom Frankle had ad dressed herself, "Mr. Cayman took It on a quarterly tenancy aa be might have to take up a post abroad any moment. I believe he's actually done so." "Then you haven't got his ad dress?" "I'm afraid not He settled up with us and that waa all." "Oh!" aald Frankle, feeling do spalrlng. She saw the young man looking rather curiously at her. "He owes me a good deal ot money," said Frankle mendaciously. Frankle thauked him and de parted. She took a taxi to the next firm of house agenta. She wasted no time In repeating the process. Tbe first agents were tbe oues who had let Cayman the bouse. These people would be merely concerned to let It again on behalf of the own er. Fraukle asked for an order to view the premises. Sbe emerged with tho key o; 17 8t. Leonard's Gardena. It waa a bit of luck. Frankle thought, that the clerk bsd not wished to accompany her, but per haps they only did that when it was a question of a furnished tenancy. The musty smell ot a closed-un house assailed Frankie'a nostrils as she unlocked and pushed open the front door of No. 17. It waa an unappetizing house, cheaply decorated, and with blist ered, dirty palm. Frankle went over It oiothodlcally from garret to base ment, but as tor anything of a per sonal nature, Frankle could not And so much aa the scrap of a torn up letter. The only thing that struck her aa having a possible significance was a railway guide which lay open on one of the window seats. Wit mt-lt-H. ,.t. Ci'U Prsnhlt taeklt, an astute taw- v.r.
