Professor Plunkett shook his
head slo-l, and went away. A
moment later Miss Dorcas could
hear him starting the engine of bis
noisy and antiquated car. She took
a last look around the room, put
on her hat picked up her suitcase,
and went down to loin him.
Miss Dorcas arrived in Harbor
Head that day at the same hour
Lavinia had arrived the day be
fore, but she did not get out of the
bus at the point where KoaencK

fact she didn t know his cottage

that was that she was going to

She fairly barged Into the Inn
foyer. It was nearly deserted, since
it was the dinner hour, and she
was glad of this. She went to the
desk to register.
"Why, now do you do. Miss
Prentissl" the clerk greeted. "Glad
to see you back."
"Thanks." said Miss Dorcas, and
Wrote her name.
. She was Just about to ask the

had departed in such a hurry,
when Margot Linden came In from
the dining room.
"Hello. Miss Prentlsst" she
called. She hurried over, her
hand outheld. "I was hoping you'd
visit us again."
Miss Dorcas acknowledged the
greeting, and opened her mouth to
speak. Margot Linden didn't give

"We were so sorry to lose your
niece," she said. "She was such a
charming girl."
Miss Dorcas took Mariot't arm.
drew her over to a secluded place
behind a palm.
"Now," she said, "tell ma all
about it"
"All about what?" said Margot
"Don't try to be polite or eva

cas. "My niece left in a big hurry.
Why?"
"None of us know, really," said
Margot "Hut since you ask, 1 11 tell
you all I know."
"Good! Go Aheadl"
Margot explained about the
government men and what had
happened, just as she had ex
plained to Lavinia the day before.
"But" she went on, "I think the
real reason she left in such a hurry
was because of Roderick Elliott,
"What about Roderick Eliott?"
Mist Dorcas demanded.
"He'd disappeared yesterday
while she was in Portland."
"Disappeared?"
"Yes, just like that here one
day, gone the next" Margot low
ered ner voice. "No one aaw the
government men with him, but we
all feel he's one of the men they
took away."
"But why on earth should they
do that?"
"Didn't your niece tell you he
was suspected of being an escaped
German prisoner?"
"Yes, but It sounded like a lot
of nonsense to me." Miss Dorcas
frowned. "Didn't he leave any
message for my niece? I under
stand they had seen quite a lot of
each other."
"No, ne left no message for any.

now that he was a man escaped
from Canada. Either that or one

"Yes." said Margot "Using their

Roderick Elliott bad a boat"
"So my niece told me," said Mlsa
Dorcas. "She told me about the
trip to the island." She shook her
head sadly. "The poor darling!
She'll never forgive me for Insist
ing that she come up here."
"Oh, I wouldn't say that" Mar
got said gently. "After all, she did
have a lot of fun. And Mr. Elliott
did her a lot of good."
"How?"
"He helped her with her danc
ing and her bridge," said Margot
"If she hadn't been in such a hurry
to leave, I'm sure her last daya
here would have been decidedly
pleasant Anyway, a lot of young
men had taken an interest In her.
"They had?" Mist Dorcai waa
pleased.
"I should say sol She was on
the verge of becoming the belle of
the Inn."
Miss Dorcas sighed. "And so my
trip here has turned out to be a
wild-goose chase," she said. "I
came to have a talk with this
Mr. Elliott thinking I miaht
straighten out matters between
him and my niece, and now you
tell me he's gone also."
"I'm sorry,1' said Margot "I wish
there was something I could do."
"So do I," said Miss Dorcas. "I
reckon I ahould have minded my
own business right from the start
and let my niece go to that quiet
spot in Connecticut she was al
ways talking about At least she'd
not have had to run away from
anything."
"She'll get over It," said Margot
Tve had a lot of disappointments
where men are concerned and I
got over them eventually."
"I know," said Miss Dorcas.
"But my niece is a bit odd I
mean, she's been devoting her life
to business. I'm afraid this thing
wil hurt her more than it would
the average glrL" She turned to
go. "Oh, well, I suppose I'll stay
overnight and then follow her to
New York. She probably needs me
now, more than ahe ever did."

speechless also, which was some-

"Are you Lavinia Prentiss s
aunt?" Roderick asked, in a
breathless sort of way.
"Yes," said Miss Dorcas, "I am."
Then what have you done
with her?" Roderick demanded.
"I haven't done anything with
her," said Miss Dorcas. "And
how dare you address me In that
tone?"
"I'm tony," said Rod. "I waa
all excited, and distressed to hear
she'd gone."
"Where on earth have you

ENGLAND'S CRISIS . . .
In the late 18th century conditions aboard ships of the British navy had become intol
erable and in the spring of 1797 the Channel fleet, stationed off Spithead, refused to put
to sea. No sooner had this situation been cleared up, than the North Sea fleet, off The
Nore, also mutinied. These men formed a "floating republic" and elected an education mid
shipman. Richard Parker, pres ident They attempted a blockade of London, and threatened
to deaert to the enemy. Finally they fired two nary Teasels which were deserting their C
cause. Parker was not equal to hit tatk, and when the mutiny collapsed he submitted to
capture and wat hanged.
