you feared some trouble about the
codicil, Cynthia? Was 1t In connec.
ton with Walter?"
A pause.
Cynthia. you know, of course. why
dad Quarreled with Walter. or per-
haps. should put it the other way
around"
Yes. know"
do you feel that Walter has any
grounds upon which to break the will,
or is It Just last desperate venture to
loot the estate?"
1T was because Of this unfortunate
matter that sent for you, Paul. But
I am too weak to talk today! Can you
not wait? There are yet several days
before the codicil will be opened. Stay
here as my guest until / can throw off
this miserable cold"
unfortunately. Cynthia, / cannot
wait. nor can / stay here with you.
Several very unusual things have &C.
CURED. I'll try to tell them as briefly
as possible. Upon the train West l
met Walter and woman who must
have been his wife. He was travelling
under the name Of Brown. On the
last morning out an unknown man
was found in our car, apparently dead.
We were all involved in suspicion, es-
pecially Walter and the woman, who
had left the train at an early hour Of
the morning and who had been seen
in conversation with the dead man.
Later in the day this man came to life
again. Because of my own part in
the affair / wired Frank Hyatt to
join me on the train. He caught an
east.bound and reached me early in
the afternoon, but. curiously enough.
he had also received wire signed
with your name, sent from that same
train at the junction where Walter
left us, asking him to meet you upon
arrival in Los Angeles. He supposed
that you were on the train. and we
made a thorough search! Then from
Los Angeles we telephoned this house
and found that you were away, but
were expected home on the night
train. night before last. Naturally
we couldn't help being mystif1ed."
How very strange came the hush
ed answer.
Stranger than you can imagine"
Paul agreed, for, in addition to all
this there was a young South Ameri-
can girl on the train. travelling alone,
in whom Walter and his wife took a
great interest. This girl disappeared
from the train at Los Angeles in co H.
pany with the supposedly dead man,
a foreigner by the name of Mario Mi
lana. The girl was in terror of this
man and we know that she did not go
with him willingly. OF course. we
do not know what part Walter may be
playing in this matter. and possibly
we are wrong about his being CON
nected with the girl. but Frank thinks
you may he able to tell us where Wal
ter would be likely to go, down in that
part of the Southwest. If we can get
track of him we may be able to trace
the girl"
Then it is the girl you really de-
sire to find?' Paul thought that the
fair face was buried a little deeper in
the lacy pillow, the soft hand more re-
Taxed in his.
Yes. Quite frankly, I'm in love. Gym

Morning found the two men some
what refreshed from the nights rest
and eager for action but as the train
arrived at an early hour, time must
he CONSUMED before calling on Gym
thia. and this WAS the opportunity to
question the station employees about
the Salvation Army lasses.
There WAS little to he gained for. as
Frank had feared the Army lasses
had passed through the station un.
noticed except by one man, the night
ticket agent.
Il saw a couple of Salvation Army
lasses go into the ladies' waiting room.
Can't say exactly what hour. No.
didn't see them come out. Guess they
took the early train north. can't say"
We're not going to gain anything
by chasing that rainbow" Frank de-
clared as he and Paul ate breakfast.
Wen see Cynthia and find out. what
we can about Walter. Even the small
est inkling as TO his whereabouts will
be something to go on, and we can
unravel the telegram mysteries, in
any case"
But at the Reynolds house. an hour
later. another appointment awaited
the two men. The Japanese butler
firmly refused them admission.
Madam is ill. She in bed. No one
can see. Sorry"
I'm sorry madam is i'll Frank
spoke up quickly, but she will see
Mr.. Paul! You remember him, don't
you Uchita? Mrs. Reynolds tele-
graphed him to come at once. She
is waiting to see him upon matter of
great importance. Go up and say that
he will come to her room at once
Uchita hesitated looking from Paul
to Frank. and back again. Finally. he
indicated that they should enter and,
leaving them standing in the hallway,
vanished up the stairs.
