XXVI.-FOUND OUT! Copyright. 1921 by The Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

Miss Natalie Ducane now found. herself in an extremely awkward situation.
 Her imitation pearls had been stolen, while the real 5000 necklace lay snug in hiding in London pawn shop.
 But she dare not tell her uncle the whole truth. Tha, good man was moving heaven and earth for the re- covery of her lost property.
 And as the days went by confes- sion became more and more impos- sible.
 To begin with, the insurance peo- -ple had arrived, and asked her very searching questions. She could give them no adequate description of the man who had robbed her. beyond the fact that he was tall and trin, wore d light gray overcoat and soft brown hat hauled well down over his eyes.
 The lower part of his face had been hidden by muffler.
 Natalie would find it difficult practically impossible-to identify him were he caught.
 She had been closely questioned. too, about the letter that this man had snatched from her. Did 1t con tain money? Or valuable information that might account for the attempted theft? To whom was it addressed?
 All of which was more than awk- ward for the girl.
 She had had recourse to fibbing, much against her will. She had told the insurance people and her uncle that the letter was merely friendly communication to friend abroad d girl who had once attended the same boarding school as herself.
 Fervently she hoped this explana- tion would not reach the ears of Mau- rice Danby. For he had seen the name of Farrel Galt on the enevelope, after he had picked the letter up.
 More awkward still was the great commotion made about the missing necklace!
 Twenyt times day was it on the tip Of Natalie's tongue to cry out:
 Your fuss is all for nothing The lost necklace only cost s15l The real y5,000 article is safe and sound .n a humble pawnbroker's not far away. have the ticket for it in my purser'
 But fear of embarrassing conse- quences made her crush the impulse 0S VII. II WdS tOO late to Spedk now. If she'd only been brave enough to do so, to begin with, the position would have been entirely different.
 The insurance people had offered a reward of $500 for the recovery of the missing pearls. The advertise ment was in all the leading newspa- pcrs.
 Natalie feared that the city pawn broker would come forward and re- cite his tale.
 But he was an uneducated sort oi fellow" she reflected, seeking to re assure herself. Hes not the typ, that pores over all the advertisement. in the daily papers. Besides, it ism any of his business really"
 She felt grateful that Maurice Danby had come to her assistance or the eventful evening, for it wa. surely through his pursuit of her as sailant that the precious letter hat been dropped, and then restored tt her.
 It seemed that her uncle's secre tary had seen her stealing from thu house. and--considerlng the hour wal too late for a pretty girl to ventur, out alone into the empty streets : had hurried after her to offer heI his escort.
 Yet if he'd only stayed away there wouldn't have been thi' wretched publicity" Natalie told her self

 Her friendship with Captain Mau- rice Danby grew and flourished. Ar ter her morning cantertin in the park she would work with him in the liz brary until lunch time, helping with the cataloguing of the books.
 Sometimes Sir Frederick came to render his assistance.
 But more often the two young peo- pie were alone.
 Despite the shadow looming over her these were happy days for Ma tale.
 For friendship was developing into something stronger, although as yet she did not. definitely realize that fact.

 But I've nothing in the world to offer her, except a crooked ub heart, a game leg, and the princely income -I ought to say 'salary'--of thirty . five dollars a week. That's more than my services warrant, but scarce ly enough to pay her dressmakers' bills!" Thus ran his gloomy med itations.

Claim Conflict I'm Evidence.
? Paul Edgar attorney for the state,
sionS under cross lex. mination were in
direct contrast to a written affidavit
by Parkinson and that he would pro-
duce witnesses to support the affidavit
made by Parkinson himself, immedi-

were together on three occasions. She
said he then accompanied her to her
home near Auburn, where she went

with her to Auburn to get her trunk.
On the road fro mBurlingame to Au-
burn in an automobile, she suggested.
she said that they tell her people that
they were married, in order that they
might be together.
