deuce did the agent mean by putting
new keyhole In the door without
notifying him? AS the caretaker never
entered that door, 1t was all the
agents fault. There was no area-way
in front, but between Georges house
and the next there was court eight
feet In width, running to the dividing
wall between the bank property and
his own A grille gate protected this
court. George had key. The gate
opened readily enough. His intention
was to enter by the basement door.
But he suddenly paused. To his
amazement he saw Just below the
library curtain a thin measure OF
light. Light! Some one in the house:
He did the most sensible thing pos
sible: he stood still till the shock left
him. Some one in the house, some
one who had no earthly or heavenly
business there., Near the window
stood a tubbed bay-tree. Cautiously
he mounted this, holding the ledge of
the window with his fingers. That
he did not instantly topp1e over with
great noise was due to the fact
shat he was temporarily paralyzed.
Here was the end OF the puzzle. Tbs

Venture Company was solved. At last
he understood why Mrs. Chedsoye

Mrs. Mortimer patted her hand. A

to the city and drove uptown to the
Mortimer home. On the way Fortune
told her story, simply, without avoid
ing any essential detail And all her
new mother did was to put an arm
about her and draw her closer.
The Mortimer home was only three
blocks away from Georges. So, when
dinner was over, George declared that
he would run over and take a look at
his own house. He wanted to wander
about the rooms a bit, to fancy how
it would look when Fortune walked
at his side. He promised to return
within an hour. He had forgotten
many things. ordinarily important;
such as wiring his agent, his butler
and cook, who were still drawing their
wages. He passed along the street
above which was his own. He paused
for Eaoment to contemplate the
great banking concern. And the pres
ident OF this bank was the elder
brother OF Ryanne! Lots of queer
kinks In the world; lots Of crooked
turnings. He passed on, turned the
corner, and strobe toward his home,
ran up the steps. Three doors below

noticed two automobiles. He gave
them only cursory glance. He took
out his ring OF keys, found the night
latch and thrust it into the keyhole.
He never had believed In this putting
up of iron gates and iron shutters. A
night-latch and caretaker who came
round once a day was enough for any
sensible person. He turned the key.
Eth? It didn't seem TO go round. He
tried several times, but without sue
cess. Puzzled, he struck match and
stopped before the keyhole.
It was q new one.

24 Gilbert St., New Britain, Conn. - My little boys face used to get awful red and sometimes when 1 used to wash it it would bleed. Then it got blotchy all over and was horrid looking. His face broke out in red spots and then became scaly. He used to scratch them until he would make them bleed. Then his head started to break out. He was restless at night and com plained ot his face being sore. His head was all little cuts from scratching it.
 '' So 1 thought 1 would send for 8 sample of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment i only used them for few days when there was such change in his looks. His face began to get clear When the sample was gone 1 got one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of CUticura Ointment. washed his face with the Cuticura Soap and warm water every night and morning and applied the Cuticura Ointment for four weeks and his face was cured. got another cake of Cuticura Soap and one box Of Cuticura Oint- ment and was only using them for two weeks and they made his scalp nice and clean.

GIRL STILL MISSING.
Relatives Fail to Find Trace of Miss
 Laura Boushey.


 Up to Monday night no trace had been found of Laura Boushey, 15, who disappeared from her home here a week ago today (Tuesday). All news paper appeals had proved futile as a means of getting a clue to her where abouts as had inquiries sent to her relatives in many towns and cities.
 All day Monday her relatives here were engaged in following up every line of investigation that might lead to a solution of what has become of the girl. but without avail. Mrs Bou- shey cried piteously Monday when told that she must patiently await the re- suit Of the wide publicity that has been given the case. She is aIarmingly dis tressed over her daughters disappear anCe.
 The one slight clue that has been obtained in connection with the girl s disappearance has to do with the di- rectiOn in which she traveled after leaving Elmyille, where she, was em- ployed. Her relatives have learned that last Tuesday afternoon, about ? o'clock, she was seen on a Putnam bound car by a woman who knew her and her people. The woman ex- changed greetings with her but as the girl volunteered no information as to whither she was going, the woman asked for none, nor can the woman tell where the girl left the car. Po-
 
 land have been appealed to to make a search for .he missing girl
 Raymond A. Prestons New Honors
 Raymond Abner Preston, son of Town Clerk and Mrs. Frank T. Pres ton, continues to make an enviable rec ord at Brown university where he is now a senior, and to add honor upon honor won during his four years of study. President W. H. P F'aunce has announced the winners of the James Manning and Francis Wayland schol- arships MT. Preston being one of those to achieve an award under the Man. ming scholarships. The award is of | an honorary nature and does not car ry any financial aid, although each of the students having such an award is presented a book published by the university. The Francis Wayland scholarship is granted to undergrad uates who have shown marked excel lence, but have not attained the re- quirements for the James Manning award.
 Previous to this time MT. Preston has made Phi Beta Kappa and has been elected a member of the board i of manage of the Brown Herald As a student he has throughout his course ranked with the most brilliant in the university. MT. Preston is a graduate of Killingly High school
