A SURRY BOOM.
Prospects Bright for GUNNER Resort
Detachment of NeWbury Neck.

Development of Newbury Neck.
Now it is Surrys turn to look for
a place in the sun as summer re-
sort. Newbury Neck, than which
there is no more beautiful
cape in this section of Hancock
county, has attracted the eye of sum-
mer visitors, and a sixty-day option
was recently given on 265 acres at
the extreme end of the peninsula.
For year past, Harry L. Crabtree
of Ellsworth, representing New York
parties, has been negotiating for the
purchase of this tract, and point
has been reached where a price salts
factory to both parties has been
agreed upon, and sixty-day option
taken pending necessary search Of
titles. No difficulty in this matter is
anticipated, and the prospects are
bright for the completion of the sale.
Mr.. Crabtree also sold this week,
to G. L. Chamberlain of Connecticut,
a farm about a mile north of the
tract above mentioned. Transfer of
deeds merely awaits investigation of
title. Mr.. Chamberlain plans to con-
struct summer home here.

had pretended to some knowledge of
what this force was. How did he
know?
Peter walked back to the dark oak
mantel and opening his wallet that
lay there, he took out the sheet of pa
per which had told him of his own
danger. There was the explanation
Parmalee too had been warned. But in
spite of that warning he, too, had gone
had been dissolved, had been wiped
out like tiny chalk mark by giant
thumb
And what conclusion could be drawn
from ali of this-all that Peter knew?
He saw it suddenly. He had been
tumbling over and over again into the
error that pitfalls so many Of his coun-
trymen; he wanted to assume the
facts upon which conclusion is to be
based. Often he had seen the same
delusive yearning when political
leader with noble sentiments and
high-sounding purposes based his pro-
gram upon a world not as it is but as
good men would like to have It and
tolled, after him, those persons who
liked to call themselves idealists; He
had seen so much conclusion that
would have been right If only it could
have been based upon the facts Peter
knew now, as if by sudden humili-
ating revelation, that he had been fool
ish to even attempt the method of the
great analysts, as they are called, who
are always conveniently provided with
every vital fact beforehand; he knew
that what he must get was more evil
dence
On his key ring he looked for the
key to Parmalee's house up the Hud-
son.
He had forgotten perhaps another
failing of some of his countrymen; as
Peter once said himself, they founded
beliefs upon the wish to believe; 1t
never was suggested to DeWolfe that,
in spite of its extravaganza, any part
Of the story told by Brena Selcoss
might not be true.
He loved her.

erased days with its sweep of sunlight
and its salt spray and with its miracle
of obliterating hours in the flow of a
great eternity.
The memory of Brena, whose per

CHAPTER XII

Peter had spent eight days upon the
sea and had landed on his own soil
again before he came to the full reali-
cation that mere reasoning will not
solve battling problems such as that
upon the untangling of which he now
had so much at stake.
He had come into New York without
word to his acquaintances only Colby
Pennington of Pennington, Gould &
Goodhue, who was the son of the elder
DeWolfe's attorney, knew of Peters
return from his long absence. This
lean, Unconditional lawyer looked upon
his young client, put in hand by the
death of the elder Pennington, as he
would upon an old heirloom without
much Intrinsic value. The law bust
ness did not pay much in spite of the
size of the DeWolfe estate and the
younger DeWolfe was considered by
those who are conventional, regular
and of stock patterns, as rather I'M
certain mixture of quantity and
quality.
Pennington had never expected Pc
ter to explode or disgrace himself, but
the lawyer belonged to type of cor
rect and regular life which does not
fear departures from correctness and
regularity and stock patterns of hui
man beings as much because of known
hazards as because of the unknown
hazards which those who always play
safe imagine lie In ambush behind In
dependence and originality and imagi-
nation, For instance 1t would have
disturbed the chilly Colby to have
known that Peter was returning from
record of hard action. wounds and
decoration, without word to his

SYNOPSIS

Out of uniform, at the end of
the World war, with the rank
of major, Peter DeWolfe, young
American of wealth and family,
Is urged by an English comrade
In arms, Eversby Benham, to visit
the Benham home and meet the
Englishman's mother and sister,
and. incidentally, Brena Selcoss,
young woman about whom there
is an air of mystery Muriel Ben
ham, Eversby's sister becomes
infatuated with Peter, but he is
interested only in the mysterious
Brena Selcoss. The feeling be-
tween Peter and Brena ripens
into love. Brena confesses that
she is married and that her hus-
band has vanished Brenas
life story is out of the ordinary.
Her father had been forced to
leave Greece because of revolu-
tionary affiliations, and his death,
following quickly upon that of
his wife, leaves Brena penniless,
at Dallas. Texas. She secures
work, and meets Jim Hennepin.
He falls in love with her. He
urges her to meet him in ST.
alone. Compton Parmalee, Hen
nepin's employer, tells Brena
Hennepin's intentions toward her
were dishonorable. Parmalee
makes Brena an offer of mar
riage. After reflection, she ac-
cepts the offer. They are mar
ried. At the railroad station,
Immediately following the cere-
mony, Parmalee is seized with
apparently uncomfortable fear.
Brena shows her husband scrap
of paper Hennepin had given her.
On 1t is q figure which Parmalee
tells her Is the "Kuk-ul-c
symbol of the Mayas. He APP
pears perturbed. Unable to pur-
chase painting of Brena, by a
famous artist, Parmalee shows
irritation amounting almost to
madness. She is convinced now
that he fears recognition either
of her or himself, but can learn
nothing from him. He begins to
drink heavily After a visit to
his lawyer. Lanfrew, Parmalee
disappears, leaving no word of
explanation. That was three years
before Peter and Brena meet.

friends, and that instead Of going to
ghost, to his old apartment where the
heat of the summer had been locked
in and where for many months the Sc
we're portrait of the elder DeWolfe had
directed an unblinking gaze at the
door waiting for the sons return. Such
return was not cut according to APP
proved fashion and if Pennington had
known of it's nature he would have felt
| vague anxiety.
Peter knowing this merely asked,
after a greeting, whether any cables
had come for him; finding that there
and night alone in his apartment
with his trunks standing around among
the linen-covered chairs like fat, solid
men whom Peter had called in for con-
ference.
The fact was that Peter had deter
mined to hold conference with him
self. He had opened the musty apart
ment which had been his bachelor re-
treat for several years; there had en-
tered only the unstirring, hushed air
which, as If itself exhausted by the
days heat, hung In night haze over
the city below his high windows and
dimmed the blinking, winking lights
across the park. The muffled sound Of
hurdy-gurdy that had invaded this
district of pretense and high rents,
like a shabby minstrel of the poor
ground out it's worn-out war tunes to
forbidding, boarded-up residences in a
forlorn hope of largess. The night was
not one for clear thinking, but Peter,
having tied the waist string of his pa
jamas, sat down in an old leather chair
before the empty fireplace, and wiping
his forehead stared into the chimney
back.
During the voyage he had failed to
think to result of any kind, and the
reasons were two. He defined them
now readily enough: they were the in
fluence of the sea and the memory of
Brena. There had been the spell of the
seattle sea that Peter loved so well,
