Chapter 14 LAW OFFICE FRANKIE walked down towards the Park feeling rather depressed and wondering what on earth ahe waa going to do next These fruitiest meditations were Interrupted by a sharp and violent squall of rain. Frankie hurriedly preserved a fa vorite bat by hurrying into the Tube which was close at band. She took a ticket to Piccadilly Circus and bought a couple of papers at the bookstall. She read desultory snippets here and there, and then of Sir John Mllklngton's convalesence after his yachting accident on the "Astra dora," the famoua yacht which had belonged to the late Mr. John Sav r. In particular. Was she sn un- "Somerset House." ' aald Mr. Spragge. "But what will la It? 1 think 1 can probably tell yon any thing you want to know about er willa in your family." "It Isn't a family will," aald Frankie. "No?" HIS Mr. Spragftv And so strong waa bla almost hyp notlo power of drawing confidence! out of his clients that Frankie, who had not meant to do so, succumbed to the manner and told blm. "I wanted to see the will of Mr. Savage John Savage." "In-deed." A very real astonish ment showed In Mr. Spragge's voice. "Really, I do not know what to do. Perhaps, Lady France, you can give me your reasons for wanting to see that will?" "No," said Frankia ilowly. "I'm afraid I can't." It struck her that Mr. Spragge looked actually worried. "I really . believe," said Mr. Spragge, "that I ought to warn yon." "Warn me?" aald Frankie. "yea. I would not for the world have yon Involved In any question able business." Frankie merely stared at him In quiringly. A piece of Information haa lust come to my knowledge," continued Mr. Spragge.

"There, see for yourself." lucky boat, the story asked. Tin man who had designed her had -lot with a tragic death Mr. Savage Imd committed mlclde Sir John Mllklngton had Just escaped death by a miracle. Frankie lowered the paper, frown ing In an effort of remembrance. Twice before, the name of John Savage had been mentioned once by Sylvia Dnsslngton-n'rench when she was speaking of Alan Carstalrs. and once by Bobby when he was ropeatlug the conversation be bad had with Mrs. Rlvlngton. Alan Carstalrs bad been a friend of John Savage's. Mrs. Rlvlngton bad had a vague Idea that Carstalrs' presence in England had something to do with the death of Savage. Sav. age had what was It? he had com mitted suicide because he thought be had cancer. Supposing supposing Alan Car stairs had not been satlstled with the account of hie frlend'a death? Supposing he had come over to In quire into the whole thing? Suppos ing that here, In the clrcunittancee surrounding Savage's death, was the first act of the drama that she and Bobby were acting in? "It's possible." thought Frankie. "Yea, It's possible." Then an Idea struck bfr tils will. It there had been something euspl clous about the way he met his death, his will would give a possible clue. She Jumped up and left the train. Five minutes' walk brought her to the office of Messrs. Spragge, Spragge, Jenklnson a Spragge. Mil. SPRAGGE was exceedingly genial. It was rumored that Mr. Spragge knew more discreditable se crets about noble families than any oilier man In London. "This Is a pleasure Indeed, Lady Frances," be said. "Do sit down." Then Mr. Spragge removed his pince-nez from bis noe end became more ilellnitely the legal guide and adviser. "And now, Ludy Frances," he said, "what Is It gives ins the pleasure of seeing yon?" "1 want to look at a will," said Frankie. "And I dun't know where you go and what you do. But there Is anme plaro nhere you can pay a hilling. Isn't there?" I Indignation. "I have been lmperso nated. Lady Francea. Deliberate!) Impersonated. What do you say tc that?" But for Just one panlo-atrlckei minute Frankia could aay notblni at all. AT last she stammered, "How flit you And out?" ' It was not at all what she meant to say, Mr. Spragge would have been no lawyer had be tailed to perceive, that the words contained an admls slon. "So you know something of tbli business, Lady Frances?" Frankie paused, drew a dce breath and aald, "The whole thing la really my doing, Mr. Spragge." "How did this come about?" h) asked, "It was Just a Joke," said Frankli weakly. "We we wanted somethlnf to do." "Obi you Bright Young People you Bright Toung People," be mur mured, wagging a forefinger. "What trouble you land yourselves in!" "I think you're too marvellous, Mr Spragge," aald Frankie earnestly. "1 feel really terribly ashamed." "No, no, Lady Frances, said Mr Spragge paternally. "Ob. but I do. I suppose It was thi Rlvlngton woman what exactly did ahe tell you?" "I think 1 bave tbt letter bers. I opened It only half an hour ago." Frankie held out a hand, and Mr. Spragge put the letter Into It with the air of one saying: "There, see tor yourself what your foolishness haa led you Into." PP.AR MR.

Frankie demanded tacit edly. i (CttyritH te.'M.-.t. .fel I'eriiie) Frankia delightedly dieeovars a brand new lead, tomorrow. Cn Christmas Island, a tiny coral Isle 1200 ml)es from Honolulu, there Is a large lagoon used by seaplanes ea a landing piece. On one side of tne lagoon Is Paris and on the other side Is London two tiny settlements whose total population la about 100 eocconut plantation workers, mostly Tanitlans of French naltonallty. Chrlatmna lalond claims to be the only place on earth whero mlllel lumber and high grade gasoline ate free to all who can use these prod ucts. The lumber washed ashore from a wrecked freighter In 1008, and was piled high on the beach by natives who have not yet found use for all of It. The gasoline was cach ed there for tho use of Charles Ulm on his attempted flight to Australia which resulted in his death, me three gasoline motor trucks now on the island have found this a plenti ful supply. strange as It seems, James J.
