CHAPTER oa-THE CALL

CHAPTER S2-THE CALL IF ENDRICK half got to his feet. IN and then sat down again. We
 will go back together" he said. "She will be pleased to meet you and am sure she will forgive. Won't you come? You know Marthe, her sister, is now quite well, and Elise often talks of you yet"
 Lapierre shook his head and at last Kendrick surrendered to his importun- ings.
 Lapierre watched him until he van ished round a bend in the path.
 He looked down at the notes Ken drick's generosity had forced upon him. l They were, he saw, of high denomina- tion, and there were many of them. He held in his hand almost as much money as he had brought to Monte Carlo. He looked at the phial. In the the other, escape.
 He drained the bottle to its dregs.
 They found him an hour later, with the notes still clutched in his hand. 1 Kendrick went back to the Casino , post haste. By this time he was cer- tain, Elise and the others would be there. He must tell her.
 In the vestibule an attendant came after.
 Monsieur v Kendrick looked around. There has been telephone call for you, monsieur. It was from the house of Monsieur le Comte Mordac-his servant. The call was but a minute or two ago. Perhaps you would wish to speak to him." Kendrick waited while the villa was obtained.
 "Yes-this is Kendrick." From the other end came the voice of Jules, Mordac's confidential servant.
 Monsieur! I have tried to get you at your hotel and at the Casino. In despair l was about to ring up the police I'
 "The policew
 But, yes. Will you come up to the villa at once? Something dreadful has happened"
 Kendrick dropped the receiver. Jules met him on the steps of the villa.
 What is it?" demanded Kendrick.
 Jules gestured with trembling hand. Kendrick grabbed his shoulder.
 Up in the little smoke-room. mon sieur-the one overlooking the Italian garden. You will remember it. They" Kendrick bounded up the marble staircase.
 There were two people in the room and one of them was dead. Mordac was lying on his back on the divan. From beneath him welled something red and sluggish
 Sitting by Mordac's feet was Lolette Her gorgeous evening gown was ripped to shreds. On a little Moorish table, beside an ash tray, was crooked kukri, which Kendrick remembered hung usually on the wal. Its blade was stained. In the ash tray were two cigarette ends.
 Lolette looked round
 For the first time since he had known her her eyes were wide. They stared at him without any recognition. In their wildness they reminded him of the yellow eyes of a tiger.
 She said: 'I killed him. The knife is there. 1 don't know where his pistol is. He had it in his hand, and you will understand-to shoot Brunei, when I stabbed him in the back-with that"
 Kendrick realized that any word from him might send her into hyster- ics.
 He had thrown me off several times. That is how my beautiful dress got torn. They fought-it was like wild beasts. I was in it-fghting. too. I learnt to fight up in the Butte. See the bruise he gave mel"
 She showed her shoulder, black and discolored.

and other stuff, but they could not see where the mixture came from. It just seemed to fill the wild fudge pot and that was all there was to see. As they ate the chocolate fudge the Raggedys and the wooden hobby horse watched the new red mixture boil and bubble as it cooked
 Then, when it was thoroughly cook ed, the wild fudge pot tipped over and poured the red fudge upon another flat cooling stone.
 I'll be glad when it cools v Rag gedy Ann said. Perhaps it is straw berry fudge"
 Before the new strawberry fudge had even a chance to get cool the Rag gedys heard a racket behind them and here came old Minga, the witch, all out of breath running up to them.
 "Ahaw she cried. "So you thought

you would escape, did you? Now tell me what you did with my two magic books, the large red on and the small green one :!
 Why! They were not yours at all l!" Raggedy Andy said. "They both be- longed to Raggedy Ann You should be ashamed of yourself" '"
 Well, I'm not!" the mean old witch howled real close to Raggedy Andy's head Now tell me where you hid them! Did you hide them back in these bushesY'
 They may be in the bushes and they may not be in the bushes !' Raggedy Ann said. You see, she did mot wish to tell tib about the magic books.

The WeU-DreSSed Man
 By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of EUery Occasion
"Plus Four" Knickers

K not the inventor of "plus four
 knickers, the Prince of Wales is at
 least their most illustrious spon- sor. The fashion was only known to a narrow coterie of golfacs until H. R. H. wore them constantly upon the links during his first tour of America. Here, they spread like secret told a woman, and today ''plus fours" are accepted as standard the world wide for smart ness and comfort afield. Plus four" an English expression, signify knickers that have a four-inch drape of cloth below the knee.
 Until the introduction of "plus fours," knickers were not cut with marked fullness. Rather, they tapered toward the knee in somewhat the fash ion of cavalry brooches. The new, wide overhanging knickers are much more comfortable than any previous type and more becoming to most legs, which, in narrow, exposing knickers, are prone to elicit snickers. Either buttons or buck les may be used as bottom fasteners, though buttons are preferable because they cannot rust or rip the cloth.
 Smartly cut nickerbocKers are no- ticeably suppressed at the waistline (see sketch), gathering fullness and freedom as they descend and terminat- ing in round, baggy effect below the knee. This voluminous look is equal all around. The fabrics embrace all those long used at sports-tweeds, chev- its, homespuns, Shetlands, gabardines, linens, crashes, twillettes, corduroys and many more. Latterly plaid pat terms have become very spruce, es- pecially when worn with plain-colored jackets the color of which matches the plaid in one's knickers.
 Reverting to the Prince of Wales, he recently introduced the practice of going coatless at golf, simply wearing knitted jacket or jumper" This is almost revolutionary, as Englishmen have long been stiff-necked sticklers for keeping their coats on, no matter how hot or sultry the day. Contrawise Americans have never hesitated to shed their coats when comfort required it. Clearly, the creed of comfort has spread to England, usually the first to make fashion for others and the last to take fashion from others.

There was but one course for the of- fender to pursue. She must throw her self upon her sisters mercy, appeal to her pity.

lHlS IS the 1lrSt wild fudge pot I have ever seen !" Raggedy And said as she and Raggedy Andy and the magical wooden hobby horse walked over be- hind a large stone and came upon the wild fudge pot.
 The wild fudge pot was filled with cook ing chocolate and it had cooked just long enough to be done.
 Then it turned itself over and poured the chocolate fudge out upon a cool flat stone.
 In a few moments the chocolate fudge was cool enough to eat and it proved to be very nice fudge in deed.
 As soon as the wild fudge pot had poured the chocolate upon the cool flat stone a large spoon hopped up from the bushes and scraped all the rest of the chocolate fudge from the pot. Then when the wild fudge pot was nice and clean a red mixture of sugar came into it.
