I ing and hasn't come back yet. And
it is nine o'clock"
"Where did she go?" he asked.
"To have luncheon with Lucia
Thorne. Then she expected to do an
errand or two and come home"
Ranger laughed easily.
shes gone on some party with
Lucia. Probably she telephoned, and
they've neglected to give you the
message"
mo-" Mrs. Rangers tone was
positive. "I'ye questioned all of the
servants. Then 1 called UP the

| Hope left them a few minutes after
two, telling them just what she told
me, about attending to her errands
and then coming home. She and l
were going to a play this evening"
Now, now, Mary LOU" he spoke
soothingly, there's no reason to get
excited. You know as well as | do
that Hopes perfectly able to look
out for herself-no one better"
But he was frowning as he utter
ed the re~assuring words; the incident
disturbed him more than he cared
to have his wife know.

I'll race her for you in no time"
He glanced at his watch as he
hung up the receiver. Twenty min
utes after nine.
He lost no time in excusing him
self to his guests, and, hurrying out
to a taxi, told the chauffeur to take
him home, and "step on it." :.
Making a brave effort to control
her agitation, Mrs. Ranger recounted
as faithfully as she could the con.
~versation between Hope and herself
that morning and the program the
girl had outlined for her movements.
Ranger, who had listened intently
to her report, gave a puzzled shake
of the head, and. stepping into the
hall spoke to the butler.
"I've sent for Highly" he said, re-
turning. He'll probably laugh at
us as a couple of fools. But l don't
care. We need the cool advice OF an
outsider"
Eustace Highly was Rangers attor-

away.
"The trouble is. we've given her
too free a hand, Mary LOU" Ranger
grumbled. "Ah!" starting up as he
heard the hall door close. There
she is nowi"
But it was Highly, the lawyer, not
| Hope, who in response to the buffers
direction turned into the library.
Something wrong?" he asked
sharply.
But as the explanation proceeded
the lines about his eyes began to
crinkle, and at the finish, as Ranger
had predicted, he gave a mirthful
chuckle.
I'm satisfied you two are making
a mountain out of a very insignii-
cant molehill," he insisted optimistic
cally. "Still, to relieve all of our
minds, I'll make sure"
He busted himself at the tele.
phone, his Investigations lasting
some time, owing to the extreme
care he took to avoid any opportu'
nifty for publicity; but in the end he
was able to nnoun that no young
woman answering to the description
of Hope Ranger had been reported
at any of the hospitals or station
houses of the city as the victim of an
accident or sudden illness.
The lawyer sat thinking, pulling al
his chin. Then he got up with an
air of decision and reached. for his
hat.

along the thoroughfare when they
were obliged to turn off the road
way into the gutter but TO ~storekeep-
ers in getting supplies to their stores.
Two years ago business men and
residents OF Pleasant Plains took the

Lynch and that part of Amboy road

continued q distance of 1900 feet
from where the work was resumed.

through. If she's a blank" he
paused and pursed up his lips
then 1 guess there's nothing to do,
Loring, but go to the commissioner
of police"
"The commissioner of police ?''
Ranger drew his brows together,
wincing at the thought of the at
tendant notoriety.
IF it comes to that-yes. There's
no use fooling away time in half
measures or with private detectives.
To get the best results, though I'll
have to offer a reward, 1 suppose.
How high would you be willing to

Anything" Ranger gave an in
different wave of the hand. What
ever is customary"
Highly considered the matter. I'll
tell you," he decided, well make 1t
five thousand to start with. Then
we can increase it to ten if neces-
sary. I'm right on the job every
minute, and there won't be a stone
left unturned. I'll keep in touch with
you, too, so that we can advise each
other Immediately of any develop

Thanks, old man. Rangers

to the door. 81 don't know what we

Everything in this intimate room
of Mrs. Rangers was old and faint
Iy furnished. In her day she had
been a beauty, Southern as her
name, Mary Louise Beauchamp Car
ter-poor as poverty with genera
tions of wealth behind her-born to
a leaking family roof-tree, old fam
lily silver, old family pictures. old
family servants, the latter dwindled
in number until none remained.
Her mother had pinned her last
hope to Mary Lou; but before the
rash girl was 20 she had lost her
head over a rising young nobody at
all, Loring Ranger, with less back
ground than a chipmunk and no par
ticularly substantial foreground, and
had recklessly married him. Mrs.
Carter shed tears steadily. and only
abandoned them for equally steady
smiles when she realized the genius
of her so~n-in-law for making money
hand owe hand-lucky hands that
turned everything they touched into
gold. Then, completely r~econciled,
she give them her blessing, bestowed
upon them the family heirlooms and
departed this life in peace.
Hope turned now from the inspec-
ton OF herself in the glass.
s M~ischievously she ruffled her
mothers sleek head cutting her af-
fectionately first on one ear and
then on the other, and, bending
down, kissed her cheek
"Goodby."
"Oh, wait a moment!" Mrs. Ran
ger caught her hand. IT forgot to
tell you, your father won't be home
this evening. He's having some out
of-town men at the club. Why
shouldn't you and I do a play?"
mo reason on earth" Hope nod
ded. Choose something neither of
us has seen. A slushy, weepy one
the kind you like"
She had reached the door when
her mother stopped her again.
you'll telephone from Silcott's,
you say, if he's ready for your fit
tings? That will be about three
o'clock, 1 suppose?"
COR even earlier"
The man servant was at the head
of the stairs with his tray of letters
as Hope came out.
Anything for me, Fitch?"
mo, Miss Ranger; they're all for
Mrs. Ranger"
Hope ran down the stairs. A mo
ment later she was walking through
the cross-street on which they lived
and at the corner she turned down
Fifth Avenue.
She walked on down the Avenue,
and crossing over at Fifty-ninth
Street, arrived at the Plaza just as
her friend, Lucia Thorne, and the
latter's mother alighted from a lin
CUISINE which had drawn up before
the entrance.
Meanwhile, the man who had been
listening at the keyhole stole fur
lively out of the house by an ares
door and made his way to a tele-
phone station in the back of a near
by store.

A western manufacturer, one OF

the point of a story which had been
interrupted by frequent bursts OF
laughter when the club hallboy APP
preached the table and informed Mr..
Ranger that he was wanted on the
telephone. Ranger laid down the
cigar he had lighted.
He made his way through the din
ing-room, a big, good-looking, domi-

booth.

quavering over the wire. "Oh, l am

WESTERN SLOPE WATER powEu
Grand Junction Sentinel

Grand Junction Sentinel:-
Arthur Monroe, IN IN article in the
Aontrose Enterprise, calls attention
to the unlimited and unused power Of
the rivers Of the Western Slope, and
pertinently suggests that the attention
Of Henry Ford, while he Is planning
. plant at Trinidad, might be called to
this inviting neld, and that the West
ern Slope Commercial Associations
could find line Of initiative and activi-
ty>here.
While we are exploring for new
things, II Is well to keep In mind the
possibilities the endowment Of nature
has 80 richly provided, and turn. them
to helpful agencies in building.
The utilization Of vast water power
referred to will come in time; we had
TO wait and wstch long years TO get
the water on our lands, and the policy
Of "watchful waiting" had to be en-
listed with all kinds Of activities.
Finally the dream came true. And
the other dream will materialixe some
day.
In the meantime the work Of the
Commercial Associations. in building
new commercial enterprises, extending
planned weak ones, and above an. ex-
tending ! helpful hand to the men and
woman who are struggling TO develop
and naals our lands profitable, should
be pressed. Increased population,
multiplied industries and fruitful and
profitable lands, will make the de-
mand for our water powers in . thous-
and ways 70 plain that some Henry
Ford, or some Of our own village
Hampdens win discover an inviting
source Of revenue in gathering and dis
tributing that undeveloped power.
Every new man and new industry will
hasten the Glad day; and the CONNER
cial associations, in speeding their
work along, may assure themselves
that they are on the way.
