the Powhatan club. long unoccupied and
spoken OF as the House OF Mystery. Sew
eral persons at regular intervals enter
No. 1878. Van Vechten expresses concern
TO his friend, Tom Phinney. regarding the
whereabouts OF his cousin and hancee,
Paige Carew. A fa~shionably attired wo-
man Is seen to enter the House of Mys-
terry. A man Is forcibly elected from the
house. Van Vechten and Tom follow the
man and find him dead In the street:
Van Vechten IL attracted by the face or
a girl in the crowd of ~onlookers sur

the girl gazing at him with n look or
scorn from the windows OF the mysterl-
GUS house. Detective Flint calls on van

sons In a passing motor boat two men

"Yes."
This was an invitation which any

Rudolph hesitated. Mentally, he ran

he did not fancy dining t~ete-a-tete

strangers. who knew hat they were
not the objects of that look, sat with
bated breath; but Rudolph seemed Sc

Rudolph's request, however. from
his standpoint was not impudent. His
uncle was under more Of an obliga-

Nevertheless he presented a smil-

q" can't imagine what you should

ly enough. IF you think because you

While speaking he had signaled a

Van Vechten could not restrain a
start of surprise at the unexpected
ness Of this overture, which, he knew,
but he promptly recovered himself
and considered briefly. Then:
will you tell me just why you
come to me for this information?"
he asked, apparently unmoved, but
profoundly curious-"why you are

eyed Van Vechten doubtfully. Il trust
you won't be offended, but of late l
have heard considerable speculation
I'VE Miss Carew's present where
abouts. 1t seems strange, you know,
to people not acquainted with the cir
cumstances, that she has not returned
to New York, or that some announce
ment of her movements has not been
made public"
With sudden decision, Van Vechten
moved to the cab.
Get in" he invited. "Ill drop you
at Park Row, or anywhere you wish
on the way uptown" He directed the
chauffeur to his club, and after they
began threading their way up Broad
way, he turned again to the reporter.
Look here. Mr.. Jenkins, | don't
see why people should be so curious
over my cousins movements. She is
merely taking a much needed rest
before coming home and entering the
grinding round of social affairs. One
needs all the energy and strength at
ones command for that sort Of thing,
you know"
Where, may l inquirer"
In England-with friends"
Mr.. Jenkins smiled.
That's sufficiently vague" he COM
mented. His sharp eyes studied the
other a second or two; then he said:
Mr.. Van Vechten, | am going to
tell you something. Some time ago
shortly after Miss Carew's graduation,
in fact-some such statement was Civ
en- publicity and generally accepted
as the truth. Yesterday our London
correspondent notified US that the
lady was not to be found; that, in
short. she had not been in London at
all. Our paper sent him a list of
families with whom she might be so
journing, but so far we have not
heard from him. Honestly. doesn't
that sound odd to anybody outside
