Later in the after noon she put herself in the hands of -a facial -moeecueo. — Mrs. Hobnes experienced a was the fact that it was running with one headlight. When it stopped in the. grove, this one light had been tufned off. She had wondered what anyone could be doing in that^ place at such an hour and had suspected* it might be somebody from the Italian settle ment contemplating a raid on her chicken house.

Gerald had remained with until after midnight. When he had gone, apprehension, or perhaps curi. osity to see if the car still there, had prompted her to investigate.

Ur-derstand? All right! Make the most of what you’ve got and—maybe i’ll have another story for you to morrow. Possibly this evening.” With these words the speaker opened the door to an inner office and called Mrs. Holmes. When she appeared the newspaper men eyed her in astonishment^ ftm ehe w<M amazingly changed. \She was no thoroughly contented jrith the state of affaire except for one thing—she diseovetod that thie matrw* had gone through her valise and removed her bottle of giiL her storm anchor. She hinted that ahe was quite tired and let down after the day’s excitement felt the need of a little stimu lant, but the matron told her firmly that she must do without. It was Mr. Vogel’s orders. Mrs. Holmes argtied that she had a bad heart and- was subject to “low” spells; her doctor had prescribed a small nip of liquor, several time* a day—not enough to be intoxicating, of course, just suf ficient to keep her.pW heart- going. But the matron did not drink and she declared very firmly that she did not propose to let her charge drink. That, in fact, was the principal rea son for her presence here, and Mrs. Holmes might as well make up her mii^ right now to indulge in nothing more heart stimulating than tea and coffee until Mr. Vogel was ‘ through with her, . Thia^ domineering attitude jreeulted in a stormy scene during which Mrs. Holmes indignantly demawted to. driver, when he got out to open thei gate, as Amos Ethridge. Vogel paused and glanced at the reporters. They were frozen in vari ous attitudes of attention, so he re sumed his reading: “I fvas much relieved to see him there and I was just about to call to him and ask ,hini to wait a minute when 1 saw something very strange and -startling. Suddenly, without warning, the bushes p^,rted and a man stepped out.
