About Lorna, I mean. I called you up today, but you were out! I can't believe he did it! "But what I say Is, if there Isn't more in it than has come out yet, why did she run away?" put in Tommy Tuttle.

"I can't imagine why she did that," admitted Anne. "Unless it was the shock," said Mirabelle. "People do lose their memories sometimes She may be wandering somewhere--not knowing who she is. Isn't it awful--? asked today what he made of it," said Tuttle. "He was out with her, you know, the night of the murder "Do you think there's anything in that?" asked Chet.

"They've been about a good deal together this season" "Of course there's nothing in it," said Anne indignantly. "She's known Jacques all her life--just as I have" "What did Jacques say?" asked Mirabelle "He doesn't know what to think. He says he's sure she didn't suspect what Thorne was up to that night, because she wasn't nervous or restless or anything. Just her usual self. I thought he might know where she's gone, but he doesn't At least he says he doesn't.

Thorne doesn't know, either. I saw him today" "And you never told me!" cned Mirabelle. "You sat all through dinner and never said a word! Did you ever--?" "What did Thorne say?" asked Chet. "Nothing pxr-ppt what he told the police. I tried to find out what his fight with Vronski was about, bu he wouldn't tell me.

At least, he said it was just the usual drunken brawl" "How did he asked Mira belle "Bored." said Tuttle. i "Bored?" repeated Mirabelle "Did you ever--? I should think he'd be worried to "He didn't seem so," said Tuttle "But I suppose he'd try not to show it anyway." "It must be a terrible said Chet. "to be shut up like tha 1 against your -will--with nothing to do but think "Hbmble," agreed Mirabelle shuddering. Anne rose and they said they be seeing her. As Bigelow followed her back to their table, he heard Tuttle saying in an aggrieved voice: "Who was that with Anne? Nobody introduced afcdfe A Cine As they sat down again by themselves, Anne said uneasily: "I don't like the idea of the baroness spreading those intuitions of hers broadcast.

Suppose Chief Inspector Hagedorn should hear what she's been saving?" "I should think his Me is made miserable by people voicing groundless suspicions every time a new case is reported. And the woman has nothing whatever to go on. I shouldn't worry about tier if I were you. "But I will get my lawyer to have a word with her. I think," said Anne.

"He can ring her up." "No harm in that," agreed Bigelow. Madge Forrester loomed up, still trailed by the waiter with the chair. "I saw you talking to she said. "Did you ever--? stopping to break her luncheon date with me. And she'd asked me to have lobster.

My cook does it a special way that Toppy finds especially seductive and Arthur was lunching out and the dogs won't touch it, so I ate Toppy's share as well as mine. I find I'm making a habit of overeating nowadays. It seems so wasteful to send things back to the kitchen. But that lobster nearly did for me. I can't tell you how I feel even now.

And I shall never forgive Toppy." Madge went off, threading her way through the tables, toward the violently beckoning hand. "Lorna In With "Toppy!" breathed Anne excitedly, her eyes shining. "I thought of her at once, but when you barred people living in big 'apartment houses. I dismissed the idea. But now of course it's obvious--Lorna is with her!" "Gone to Kansas?" "No, of course not.

Nothing could induce Toppy to go back to Kansas. Nothing in this world. She has merely told the servants that so that no one will try to get in touch with her." do you suppose she io, then? Is it going to be any easier to trace her than to trace Lorna Dryden?" "Yes. I think I've already guessed where they are!" Anne was nodding confidently to herself. "Where?" asked Bigelow interestedly.

"Toppy's got a house in Westchester. It used to belong to the Hewitts, but just after the crash they were in an awful mess--they couldnt afford to keep the place up and they couldn't afford to move So Betty Hewitt got the brilliant idea of raffling it off for a hundred dollars a chance. Most of friends came through and bought blocks of tickets. Toppy bought a book of 10, I remember, and she won. She didn't want the place at all, but it was hers.

The Hewitt's cleaned up thousands on the deal and decamped. They went to Florida and settled there. And Toppy's been paying taxes on the house ever since. Nobody wants to buy it, it seems. It's quite a big place and the upkeep is considerable.

But there you are. That's tttf way I am." Shs TWC with a groan, catching a simal from the head waiter "But what about Toppy?" asked Anne, detaining her. "Oh, Toppy! Somebody at her apartment said she'd tone back to body wanted to shoulder the responsibility. So there it is. She's still got it and she says that's what she gets for trying to help out her friends!" "And you think they may be there?" asked Bigelow.

"I'd gamble on declared Anne. "The house is surrounded by grounds and shut off from the road and from the river by big trees. There are no neighbors to overlook it and no servants there--not even a caretaker. Toppy had someone looking after it for awhile but he got arrested for being drunk and disorderly and she just locked everything up after that and left it. She said she was not going to let the damned place become a nuisance.

So you see, they could go there with a stock of provisions and remain indefinitely without their whereabouts becoming known here in town," "Yes, I see," said Bigelow. "Even if Toppy went into the village to shop, no one would think anything of it. Everybody about there knows that she owns the place, now. And it's quite comfortably furnished. The Hewitts left practically everything behind them." "Where is this place?" asked Bigelow, trying to subdue his excitement.

"On the Albany Post road just beyond Tarrytown. It takes about an wur to drive up there by car." Bigelow looked at his wrist-watch. "It's rather late," said Anne. "And t's not likely that anyone else has got on the trail yet. We'd much tetter get a few hours sleep and make an early start in the morning" "Right." he agreed, but he caned the waiter and settled his bill.

The victory was Hanover's first league triumph. Hanover was forced to fight an uphill battle to win, a. fast rally in he last five minutes of play turning the trick. The game was close and shortly before 8 o'clock Monday hotly contested throughout, morning while assisting Parr c. Vfeitora Take Lead Martin started the scoring when he caged a foul and Ernst tied up count for Hanover with a char- ty toss.

Craumer and Cleveland ooped goals to send the visitors out in front. Stock made good on a ree toss and Martin looped a dou- sle-header. Stock's long shot put the Maroons out in front 6-5. Craumer sent the Nighthawks to the front again with a goal but Wright caged a beautiful side shot just as the period ended to give the Ma- oons an 8-7 advantage. Craumer placed Hanover back in the lead at the start of the second period with a goal Martin knotted the score with a foul but Hetrick, sub for Ernst, broke away for a score for the visitors.

Stock cut the cords from near mid-floor to again deadlock the count. Martin dropped through two goals in rapid succession and Stanley looped a close shot to enable the Maroons to lead 1711 at half tune. Inability to halt Craumer, speedy Hanover forward, proved disastrous to the Pomeymen in the third period, the Nighthawks finally pulling up on even terms at 22-22 at the start of the final period. Locals Sag A foul by Lawrence and goal by Cleveland gave Hanover a 25-22 lead early in the last period but Lefever's charity throw and Wright's goal tied the figures. Prom that stage on Hanover played rings around the locals and a trio of goals from Cleveland and Ernst clinched the contest.

Martin and Craumer were outstanding for their teams. In the preliminary game the Maroon and White reserves scored an easy 22-10 decision over the Hanover Jayvees.
