Xe snatches the case from her The accident, is © discovered Ly Jerry Grant, who, takes Jean back to his. hostess, Helen 'Gorst. Euan is missing, M. Rivaux, French, in- gpector, Investigates. GeoJrey Winton tells Helen that his wife's pearls are missing. Rivaux confronts Jean with this as the reason for Euan's disappear- ance, Jean visits Euan's friend, de Laurier, whom she dislikes and learns that Euan is in debt to him. Meanwhile Jerry Grant meets AM. Perichon, famous detective, whe promises to help them. Having tea with de Laurler, Jean learns that he knows Euan had the pearls with him. Rivaux produces a petrol lighter which Jean acknowledges as her bro- ther's. MM. Perichon takes Jerry Grant and Dan Washburn to the spot where the lighter was found and sends them on a fruitless errand to a villa nearby. CHAPTER XVIL It was certainly a strange spectacle which met their eyes." M. Perichon, with his trousers wet above the knees, his coat off, his tie awry and his shirt half hanging out -behind, was ap- proaching them over the rocks. There was a satisfied grin on his face nevoy- theless us he waved to them and call- ed: "Papa has been paddling!" Com- ing up, he asked: "Well, and what have you discovered?" "Nothing," jerked Grant rather grimly, "We couldn't get into the villa. We rang and ang, but--" Before he could finish the Frenchman waved him to silence, : "I know, I know, it is the villa of Mme, Dushkin." : "Grant stared. An idea had come to him that Perichon had knoivm that 'they could not get into the villa, but had wanted to be rid of them. He had deliberately sent them on a wild goose chase. And why? "How did yo1 find out?' he asked curiously. "I have been up there," Perichon nodded at. the hilside. "That is why I am £0 wet. But now--come, We will go! "But what did you find out? Graham there?" The Frenchmar's eyes flashed. "So that is what you think?" His head - shook doubtfully. "Me, I think he is dead." ' va Grant grabbed his.arm: "You know that? You have proof?" "Proof? No, but I fear it. Still, who knows? Come." He gathered up his discardel coat and adjusted his {ie and shirt, But all this talk of knowing things without proof exasperated Grant. Here they had been wandering about all day, and as far as he could see, yothing definite had been arrived at. "Oh, look here, how much longer is all this going on? What are you do- img? What is Rivaux doing? Or any- one for a matter of that? If you do Is * kmow- anything, why don't you tell -me?"' With his head slightly cocked to one side, the Frenchman looked at him. . "What impatience!" "Impatience?" cried Grant exasper- atedly. "I like that! -Anyhow, do you think it's fui. for Miss Graham to be suspected of being connected with a theft--is it fun for her to lose her brother like this? Hang it alll" "I know, I know, it is hard, but que voulez-vous? One cannot run out into the streets and.arrest the wrong per- sn! I tell you we Progress. "hat is all I can{gay. Now come, du courage, mon ami," 1 am doing my best." g -"But, damn it, can't you tell us any- thing at all? Don't you trust us?" the young man exploded, . "Yes, yes, 1 trust you, but--you con't understand. It is something very dangerous that I do because it is necessary. I am jumping to conclu- sions--using guess work--but I must not &peak about it. Only have pa- tience. Soon--soon I will know some- thing." "It's all very well to say 'soon, goon," thouht Jerry Grant. In the meanwhile Jean was feeling the strain badly and they were all bound by an intolerable weight of mystery and sus- picion. > ar Driving back towards Nice, the sun Jow behind them,. the coloring was supeib, The Mediterranean lay like a great stretch of pale blue grass, and everywhere along the coast the masts and russet sails of the fishing fleet were reflected in it as in a mirror. But Grant surveyed it all gloomily. Things were bad--bad; he felt it, de- ¢pite old Perichon's ridiculous optim- jem. He thought sourly of de Laurier "and of Jean's apparent preference for him, "That really was the iron seering shis heart, She seemed to care for him at times, and yet she could go out with that French bounder. The de- termination to see her that night grew in him; he must. It was impossible for him to go on like this, : When they dropped M. Perichon at his hotel, the old man placed a hand on Grant's shoulder. "Have patience, mon pauvre, have patience," he said. "I have progressed today, even if you have not." Grant replied with a dour grunt whier made the Frenchman smile. In spite of the lovely night and open windows a fire of pine cones crackled brightly 'on Mrs. Gorst's pleasant hearth, Before it Jean sat with a book open on her knee, but with her eves gazing pensively at the flames, Helen flung her a puzzled and anx- ious glance, for she simply could not make her out. From being a calm, di- rect young person, she had become re- served and restless, aimlessly moving about the place, picking things up and putting them down again, always with an air of abstract anxiety in her lovely brown eyes. Of course she was worrying over her brother, and the mystery which involved her, but there was more in it than that, At least it seemed so to Helen, - There was, fc instance, her association with Max de Laurier which she considered most unnatural, and it distressed her very much. What s2emed so strange about it too was that although Jean persist- ed in seeing him, she always seemed in a miserable and silent mood when she came back, That afternoon, for ex- ample, she had returned soon after five, but when questioned about the tennis she was supposed to have 'watched, she "seemed astonishingly vague about it, so much so that Helen found herself doubting that the girl had ever been to the courts. And now there she sat with her book open and her thoughts--heaven knew where. Had she known it, the girl's thoughts were aot far away, hovering as they were between Grant and Max de Laurier. She had hurt Jerry. She knew it and it worried her terribly. But what could she do? That she loved him she knew without a shadow of doubt, yet as things were she could not accept him. Some day--soon even, she hoped--when this mystery was cleared up, then--yes! But mean- while there was the Baron. Her dis- like of him had turned to dread. He knew so much; how much she did not know, but certainly too much. And besides, there was his attitude to her. The memory of the covetous look which she saw so often in his eyes sent a cold shiver up her spine, Na- turally restrained and fastidious, the very thought of it was repulsive, "Hullo!" Grant's voice broke in upon. her thoughts, and she looked up as he came in from the garden. In his buttonhole was a camelja_ which he had picked on the way oyer, and he flung the girl an eager smile as he crossed to. the fireplace. Helen smiled: a welcome: "Well, Jerry, where have you been all day?" He grinned: "I've been fora pic- nic." i CAR "Sight-seeing?" Jean asked curious. ly. ¥ Helen laughed, and gathering up somé papers, moved towards the door: «Tell Jean about it whilst I write a letter for the mail," she said, going out, . "Finding themselves alone, an awk- ward silenca fell. Each remembered their angry parting of the night be- fore and felt uncomfortable. But at length Jean asked: "Have you really been for a picnic?" «Yes, The purpose of tha .pienic, though, was to trace your brothe - «Oh!" Jean leaned towards him eagerly. "Tell me." He shrugged. much to tell. Perichon wanted to see the place where Graham's lighter was found. I don't think we discovered much. At least I didn't." "Who is Perichon?" Grant explained how he had met the ex-detective and enaged his assist- ance, : "Can't he help at all, Jerry?" she asked, : . ' Tha misery in the girl's face tore the young man's heart and he wished [niost sincerely that he could give her some kind of hope, something even faintly definite. "My dear, he says he's doihg some- thing, but he won't tell me a thing."

"I don't know, bubt--everything is so indefinite, I don't like staying on here and worrying Helen, yet I can't go. I don't know whether poor Euan is dead, or whether--whether some- thing has happened to him. Doreen's pearls are still missing; some people think 'that I know where they are." Grant made a gesture of denial, but she broke in:. "Oh, yes, they do. I know it, I caa tell by the way they look at me and whisper, Then---" But she could riot mention de Laurier then, though he was the greatest trouble. of all. "It's just all awful!" She turned away and stared into the fire. "I'm so tired, too, of going over and over it." It as more than Grant could bear to see her so miserable, Leaning over, he took her hand and kissed it.

"Oh, if you could--" she sighed, walking restlessly about the room, (To be continued.) NI. Shame Chart In Manhattan, J.

But this thought and planning bring good results because time and work as well as" money are saved by the mother and pleasant family meals are enjoyed. x One of the simplest ways of hand- ling the situation is to remove an in. dividual portion of a good wholesome food before additional seasoning makes it undesirable for the youngest member at the family table, For example, a meat loat made savoury with green peppers is not an acceptable food for'the four-year-old, But a pan-broiled meat cake lightly seasoned with salt may be made for the small person with almost no extra work, The meat of course is taken out for the patty cake before the sea- soning for the meat is added, Food For Children Individual portions of vegetables al- so may be set aside before seasoning for the family. os Salads may be simplified and plainly dressed with lemon julce and oil, These precautions usudlly make it unnecessary to supply special and en- tirely different foods for children. The following menu takes care of -the needs of small children as well as those in their "teens." ~ - Breakfast: Orange juice, cooked cereal, cream, poached. eggs, whole wheat toast, coffee; milk. Luncheon: Noodle soup, toast sticks, cottage cheese, raisin: and green pep- per salad, baked apples, milk, tea, Dinner: Baked lamb loaf, potatoes en casserole, canned lima beans, shredded leaf lettuce with chiffonade dressing, fig and orange jelly, vanilla cookies, milk, coffee, Children under. school age and per- sons well past middle age will not want both cereal and ezgs for break: fast, but growing, older children and active adults need the extra breakfast dish, > : The luncheon saldd must be cob fined. to cottage cheese and one table- spoon finely chopped seeded raisins on a nest of finely shredded lettuce for children under school age. : Mash Potatoeé Well In thé dinner menu the potatoes should be well mashed with a fork, the beans rubbed through a ricer and onions and radishes ia the chiffonade dressing very finely minced for small} children. Children under five years of age will he much better off if a plain dressing of oil and lemon juice is used on their lettuce. A cheap cut of la ab from the fore. quarter is carefully trimmed and put through. the food chopper twice for the loaf. if children under school age were given an egg for breakfast, meat tor dinner is not required. Otherwise save 'ut enough Jamb to make Indi- vidual patty. The dessert is suitable for all mer- bers of the family. The dry crumbly characteristics of cdokies make them more desirable for children than the soft moist texture of cake, eines 3 Y "There was never; a more ridiculous plece of nonsense: than the foolish idea that war and disarmament have anything to do with each other,-- Richard Washburn Child, .
