 And this is Thursday. So she's much further away than Greyfrars Hall -a a three-hour motor run.''
 But it's naled here in the city, said, puzzling over the, strangeness of that. And posted today = this morning.
 Then I think we ought to drive right down to GreyfrairS - don't you, Tony % asked Virginia.
 Pm still in favor of telephoning first, Vee. But wait. Our little prin- cessIhas an iea,I cam see that. Did it come from the other 1etter-the one you're crooning over like a little mother?'' asked Anthony NorTeys.
 I folded the little note I was al- most unconsciousIy .crooning over'' and looked up to answer Anthony Norreys.

 So in the midst of our worry over Betty, nothing moved US more deeply than the little cry in her letter, ssBe good to Terry while I'm gone.'' Vir- ginia's eyes had filmed over when ] read that aloud, and Anthony Nor

reys had set his jaw-hard. And that gave them their right to know about the letter I was-as Anthony Norreys had said-"crooning over
 like a little nother.''
 Its from Terry; will you read it.
 MT. Norreys? Pm sort of-huarse.'' I said.
 Again the und derstanding smiie-for my -fhoarseness,' then he read Terry's note to. Virginia.
 Dear Sister Anne-I can't find her.
 I can't find a clue to her whereabouts.
 Shall D ein the city again directly eariy Friday morning, I should say,
 unless something turns up nere. In | that case, I'd get you on thes wire Can't you do something? Just get word she's safe. II we can see her again, unhurt, safe-our own Betty, Tli stand the gan if she sends me 1 about my business without a kind

CHAPTER CxXXvI. s-,.t wen telephone right down to the little inn where Mrs. Harrison met Betty and Miss Moss,'' declared Anthony orreys So briskly that I was saved from confessing how little knew of Miss Moss whereabouts.
 They'll be sure to have a forwardz ing address on their books Do you remember he approximate date Mrs. Harrison" ~----
 I felt tide of crimson sweep up to my face again.
 "I do remember; and the exact date. We were on our honeymoon. It twas last June.'' I cried. rejoicing that my "clue" was leading somewhere after all.
 Anthony Norreys' blue eyes swept my face for second and they held so much of kindness and real under standing that the happiest of my | honeymoon days seemed close to my heart again.. ....5
 Then he went into action. Smooth | ly, quietly and with no fuss at all. he called our jTnoneym oon in, got the ! manager and secured the address of Miss Adeline Moss. And five min | f.utes later we were driving in his limousine to that address. It was nurses home: 1 found plenty to pug gle over in that. Why had Betty needed nurse last summer when she slooked so well and beautiful? ? Furthermore, had it been pride alone
  clothes instead of in nurses uni 1 form?
 My questions were answered quicgly enough. At the home we were told that Miss Moss had gone | down to the country with a patient Her address was Greyfriars Hall. !. '.Greyfriars Hall? You mean the surgical hospital D asked Anthony | Norreys. -.. <
 The matron of the home nodded eagerly. She was ready to talk of the wonderful reconstruction work | tiey were doing at ,Greyfrlars Hall, | but she would say no word of Miss | Moss and her patient or were any of us anxious to stay and discuss mat ters- Since we could not here be as sured that Miss Moss patient was Betty, our whole desire was to be off at once and to follow this promising yet terrifying clue
 "Oh, Tony, Tony; what can Betty be doing at surgical hospital?" Vir- ginia gasped, as we rolled smoothly down the street.
 we'll see, my dear-we'l sec, he murmured soothingly as to a child, but l felt that he was only giving Virginia little detached corner of his attention

 But there is a clue, child. There's always a clue.' Just now we're all blind, to it, but before long we shall see it''
 We've. done everything,'' insisted sadly, if stuibborn1y.
 Then let's do more-go oyer Then he turned to Virginia Where did you first meet Betty. Vee?'' Out at. a little inn''- began 2Vir-@ ginia.
 But I 1eaped to my feet and flung out my arms in sudden joy.
 Miss Moss!" I cried. Miss Moss she'll tell us. Oh, Anthony Nor reys, you've found the clue!'
 I was babbling like a child one minute, and the next Anthony Nor explaining what I meant and :ow had come to think of it. You asked Virginia where she first met Betty. And you said 'Vee'- so it flashed across my mind that when you two first met, Phoebe was probably always along"
 "Oh, Anne, what has that to do with it, cried Virginia impatiently. But it has everything to do with it, Wee, dear" said the man so soorh- ingly and kindly that the threatened friction didn't stop my mind from running along the track on which it had started. Well, then-I thought of the lit tie inn where I'd first met Betty, and who was always a1ong-a funny lit | tie old woman with face I thought l was wabbly like a poached egg. And her name came to me. It was Miss 1 Moss, Bettys compa nion. For a long | time I haven't seen her, but if Betty is 1 ill or in trouble,@ she might have her i again. Betty would get a. paid com | panion instead of bothering any of | her friends. She would,'' I declared | almost breathlessly as I concluded my | long speech. ....... You know Betty. She would do | just that!" declared Anthony Norreys. 1 And to find Miss Moss!'' -t..
 Do you know how to find herr" asked Virginia eagerly. ,.......,..- .. l My heart sank al I realized that I hadn't the fa1ntest notion where Miss | Moss lived. r. r-i

 Burglars who broke into the local of- 1ce of the Standard Oil Company, on Moulton Court. at an early hour Thurs day morning were unsuccessful in their attempt to obtain money. The work in the office is supposed to be the work of amateurs. as the instrument used to knock off the knob on the company's 8 safe is 6 car knockers hammer, now in the possession of the police. The break was discovered about 6 o'clock Thursday morning by Thomas Joyce, an employe of the company, when he came into the yard and noticed that the window on the south side of the office had been opened. Upon investigation he saw that the glass had been removed from the window by a cutter the window taken out and the catch turned back thus allowed the en- tering party 10 raise the window. Chief Kinourey was notified and sent Officer Grant Bombria to investigate. The safe was found to be damaged the knob hay ing been knocked of by the use of the hammer, and cuttings about the handle of the door gave evidence that some sharp instrument had been used in try ing to break of this part of the safe.
