| CHAPTER 65 A WAY OF FINDING OUT

In the city oi New York that night there could scarcely have been two more puzzled men than Herbert Ware and Jack Farquahar. Run- ning them a good third, perhaps, was the man called Jenkins, but he had washed his hands of the whole affair, so he hardly counted. It was. in fact, this thorough handwdshing of his that caused the puzzlement of Herbert. He was reading in the library when Siddons brought him a letter delivered by a special messenger. Signed by Jenkins and worded stif- fiy, it proved to be in the nature oi a report. The gist oi it was that Jenkins resigned from the case, because he had reason to believe that he had ~bcen made the butt oi a practical joke and that his valuable time l-ad been Wasted in a scheme to tickle some one's sense oi humor. He add- ed, with a heavy attempt at sar- casm. that he had undertaken the case in good faith, believing that Mr. Ware knew his own wife by sight. I At home, at that very minute, he was saying to Mrs. Jenkins: “What do you think of that for a dumb stunt, Nellie? That guy show- ed me a picture of this other bird's fiancee and said it was his wife that the young one was after! And here I was running my legs off trailing her."

"What do you make oi it. Jim?" “I don't. make anything and I'm not trying. Only I'll bel anything you care to name that this Ware fellow is trying to steal Farquahafs girl. Don't ask me haw. because I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but that's the dope as I see it."

Herbert, meanwhile. had read the detectives letter. It left him with a sensation of complete blankness. It also, after a. time. produced a cer- tain sheepish feeling. He could only interpret the report in one way: that the detective had found hisl (Herbert's) suspicions so totally] groundless that he believed a. Jokel had been played upon him. Herbert determined to drop the whole afiair. He was feeling distinctly foolish, and it was not a pleasant sensation. Likewise. he had a decided con- sciousness of guilt. It WIT, he re- flected, pretty mean to put a cle- tective on the trail oi one's wife, es- pecially when you find out later that she is thoroughly innocent.

His relief at this revelation was patent. He got up and went to Lila's boudoir, where she was pretending to read while she worried herself sick over her difficulties. He took her into his arms, without explan- ation for the tenderness withheld. for weeks. and she nestled against his shoulder and was wildly happy, for awhile. She forgot Farquahar and Slddons and May Verne? and DOPOUIY. Nothing mattered. except the fact that the man she loved was holding her close and kissing her soft curls that lay against her cheek _~—the man for whom she was play- mg this dangerous game.

With each kiss, she was saying to herself:

"It may be the last time! . . . . But it mustn't bel I can't give him up! I'll die, ii I lose him!"

When Herbert had gone to his own room and Siddons had closed the house for the night, there was a knock at Lila's door.

When she opened it, Slddons stood there, extending a silver salver on which lay a letter. His veiled glance was significant.

"Mr. Ware dropped Lhlg on me library floor. Shall I destroy it? Or, Perhaps. Madam would be inter- ested in reading it?“

Lila took it. read it through, and went white. She was conscious of the buticr's curious stare.

Thank you, Siddons." she man-| 880d to say, as she closed the door,

"HIGH" SOMETIMES LOW

Life's marked mobility has creat- ed a situation whereby the car own- er buys his gasoline from many dif- erenr. stations- at least during those months of the year when the open road calls. There are many good lstations from which to buy gas, but the fact that all oi ‘them do not handle the same brands interposes the need for a precaution. That is Lo remember that “high test" is a generdl term and may mean an en- tirciy different thing as applied to different gasolincs. Sometimes, “high" is low as compared with what. the car is accustomed ‘to get.

GETTING MORE CARELESS?

Motor car owners must be getting careless. Garage and service station operators declare they are getting a constantly larger tire changing business because motorists, never taking an inventory of the tool kit, find themselves without jack, lug wrench, or pliers when caught with a flat dire. It is a form of forgetful- ness that runs into money unless one has fiat tires directly in front of the repair shop.

AT TIIIS TIME OF YEAR

The period has passed when there is danger of the license plates drop- ping off because of looseness in the nuts that hold them. If the nuts have loosened. they have rusted fast. Just the same, there is a chance that previous unchecked looseness is resulting in noise that can be el- iminated easily.

LISTEN TO‘ THE EXHAUST

Few motorists ever listen to the exhaust. Yet, it is an excellent method of telling the degree of smoothness with which the engine is running. It is often a lip to the need of a small adjustment.

JUST WHAT TO SUSPECT

‘When the ammiter suddenly starts registering on ‘the discharge side. it is the motorists cue to act. Whore to start puzzles some. If the gener- atcr is driven by the fan belt, as it likely is, first nole whether the belt is Loo loose or broken. If everything is found in good condition, then have a look at the battery connec- tions. The chances are that one oi these conditions will be found guilty.

TIIERE IS A DIFFERENCE

There is one point, among several,

mind when buying a used car. That is that unlike when buying a new machine, appearance is a secondary consideration. It is all right to give appearance a. big margin in the lat- ler case because all new vcars are good these days. In the case of the used car, the condition of the chass- is is the big item to be considered. This, of course. does not eliminate appearance as a factor.

BUT WIIY PERMIT IT

Experienced motorists do not get alarmed when the accelerator, un- dcrlubricated at its various points of anchorage or suffering from a

Chautauqua Here ' \ Nit Week

Plans and methods of mu year's Chautauqua campaign in pfePBfB- tlon for the Three Joyous Days t0 be held here Wednesday to Friday. Sept. 26 to 28, were brought to a focus by the visit of Dr. J. A. Cot- tam, first advance agent of the Chautauqua, who spent yesterday in Charlottetown and met in confer- enoe with the committee in charge of the event and held special ses- sions with the local ofllcers who are R. H. Rogers, President; Rev. Ross C. Eaton, Reception Committee; Al C. Duchemin, Chairman Hall Com- mittee; J. T. Crockett,. Chairman Advertising Committee; Charles Ross, Vice President; Ray Pendle- ton, Secretary; J. Lester Douglas, Treasurer.

Dr. Cottam stated that the pro- gram this year was fully up to the high standards set by former offer- ings and assured the ticket com- mittee that they could offer their wares in entire confidence that pur- chasers would later thank them for not only an enjoyable. ‘but a profit- able three days. .

The outstanding feature of this year's program, according to Dr. J. A. Cottam is the three act comedy- dramaflTake My Advice," a. dram- atic success from the pen oi Elliott Lester. This play, Dr. Cottam said, ran for a whole year on Broadway and was rated as one of the season's biggest hits because it is clean, funny, and portrays situations fam- iliar to practically everyone who sees it. Take my advice, said Dr. Cottam, and see “Take My Advkm" Besides this play by a competent cast, there will be lectures, music, entertainment and the special Jun- ior Chautauqua features that have endeared this annual event to the hearts oi the youngsters of so many communities.
