THE NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON OUT OUR WAY BY J. R. WILLIAMS OUR BOARDING HOUSE wiTn rvtj'w'iN i iwi kw CHAPTER XXII rpHK Empress steamed her vrp slowly arouna oanay noon, finally drew abreast of Quaran tine, and once again hove to, that the customs and Immigration offi cials might come aboard. ' Joyce glanced down at the men lined up on the tiny boat alongside them. She saw the doctor, with his ubi quitous black bag; she recognized the uniform of the customs She caught her breath, her eyes wide and unbelieving. Was she dreaming, or was that Dick Ham ilton down there with them? She blinked, necessarily now, because her eyes were clouded with quick teara, and she looked again. There was - no doubt of it His eyes roved the decks of the Empress, as If he were seeking someone out But before he saw her, she was away from the rail, hurrying down to the seclusion of her cabin before someone else might recog nize him and turn to study her reaction. Ten minutes later he found her there. . She was in his arms, her nose buried in the damp, rough tweed of his shoulder, feeling his own heart pounding as madly as her own. She was crying a little, and laughing too, and she'd for gotten completely that he didn't believe in her, that he. had run way ... "I love you so much, dear!" he told her, very tenderly. "I don't think I knew quite how much until I got on that plane at Miami and left you behind." She looked up, her eyes ques tioning through the tears. - ' "But why did you go? Why?" Her voice choked just a little. "Because I love you, and be cause nobody in this world is ever going to say an unkind word about you, as long as I live!" v Still she did not understand. "Come, tit down and I'll ex plain. But first of all do you love me, Joyce?" , "With all my heart . . ." He kissed her, tenderly at first, then with a quick, fierce eager ness, and in that moment she knew that all the world was right, and ah would never doubt again. -Seated, side by side on the berth, he told her what had hap pened. - "The other evening, after you left us to abruptly," he began, lighting a dgaret slowly, "I came down to find you a few minutes later. The cabin was empty." "I met my steward in the. cor ridor. He took me up to the cap tain immediately." "So I found out later. But while I was looking for you, I heard this O'Hara woman tell her friends how that clip was found in your room." . Joyce nodded. "That's why the captain sent for me." . . "I went right up to see him. I wondered . if he'd been dumb enough to tell her where it' was found. But when I asked him point-blank about it, he was amazed. He asked me who the devil told me. He had cautioned the steward purposely not to say a word about it And certainly he'd not told Mrs. O'Hara." Joyce's eyes widened. . Then how did she know?" He took a long puff on the dg aret. "Because she put it there herself." -What?" "Stands to reason, doesnt it? The only persons who knew where it was found was your steward, the captain, and the one who put it there!" She held her breath in amaze ment "The captain realized this im mediately. Though, naturally, we wondered why she would have don such a thing. She was down on you, no doubt of that. Thought you were after her fat little hus band, so Captain Boyer said. I didn't know about that incident at the dance, until he told me." " "Dick! But why would she put the clip in my room? I might have kept it. And what about the other Jewels?" ... "We wondered that, too.' "A woman wouldn't have thrown away a fortune in jewels just to spite a girl who'd caught her hus band's eye. But where were they? " 'R. S. V. P.'? Why, that i."Am I supposed to answer FLAPPER FANNY By Sylvia I eOW.IWlYIHIHCTVICt.MC. T.M.ra.OLt,MT.CW. I CepyrtH, Sd, NEA Stnrlc. Int. We sat there, staring at that clip, trying to make some sense out of the tiling. Finally, Captain Boyer passed the one remark which made all the difference in the world. U T SUPPOSE there's no doubt,' 'he said, 'that it's genuine.' rd never thought of that. Well, we picked It up and turned It over and held it to the light The stones were clear and brilliant; Ihe setting looked O. K. But after a while, we did notice one thing. There was no trade-mark of cither gold or platinum on it" He ground out his cigaret in the ash-tray. "Once we decided that the thing was a fake, it was easy to guess what the game might have been." "What?" "Insurance. She comes aboard, flashing all these jewels before everybody's eye, so there's no doubt she had them, and suddenly they're stolen. As soon as she gets back to New York, the insurance company is called upon to make good. "I can prove that the clip was a fake. Captain Boyer and I went ashore in Miami and had it ap praised the first thing that morn ing. It's nothing but a very clever imitation. So then I took the first plana to New York, armed with a dozen of those candid camera shots the ship's photographer has been making you know the ones. "I went immediately to see father's attorney. He sent some special investigators out, with the pictures. Within two hours one of them brought in the interesting information that a clerk in the bank not four blocks from the O'Hara apartment could swear that this was the same woman who applied for a safety deposit box the very day the Empress sailed, depositing some package which she claimed contained her silver. And she took out that box under the not so very different name of Mrs. Molly O. Hare. Now let her ask for insurance on her jewelry and somebody's going to ask to see what's in that other deposit box." , "Maybe the jewels weren't in sured." "Oh, but they Vere. We made sure of that The representative of the insurance company came along with dad and his attorney; they're all up with the captain now." "Your father's here, Dick?" "Of course. He'll want to meet his new daughter, won't he?" CEVEBAL moments later, she remarked: "Isobel Porter left the ship at Miami too." She had to say it; it was the last thorn to be plucked. - "I know it We met her on the dock. She stopped off to visit friends." "Oh." It was the echo of a vast reliet . She smiled up into his eyes. "It's so terribly easy to love you, dear!" "Then I'm forgiven?" "Forgiven? For saving me from jail? Well, I should say!" He kissed her again. "I only saved you until I might find a minister to sentence you for life. I know one who isn't going to be busy this afternoon." She looked over at the cumber some assortment of Kingston wicker furniture across the room. "I should go to Fall River first," she reflected. He shook his head, woefully, fol lowing her glance. "I knew when you bought it," he said with the patient resignation of a long suffering husband, "that I'd be the one to carry it through the Grand Central Station!" THE END. There are 200 golf clubs in the city of London alone. The sport ranks second In the number of regular playing members; lawn tennis being first In England. The United States purchased Alaska from the Russians on March 30, 1867, for the sum of 17,200,000.
