| Manor in response to a rather urgent
| invitation from Sir Cotterell.
EVELYN went back to her fiat to pick
up few things.
She had spent a fortnight at Lay.

! last nine years. This years visit

, thought. since Laydon would as a
matter of course be there. and to live
under the same roof with him. move
| with him among the old remembered
| places was an ordeal from which she
shrank.
The Mannings had been asked in
order TO make the situation little
easier Lacy. cratified and important,
was already very much the Chaperon.
Because, of course. Evelyn darling.
it's a very. very delicate position: and
I'm not at all sure ii wouldn't he
wiser for YOU 10 give up Your visit
this year"
EVELYN surveyed her with n smile.

It's frichtfully edifying. but it1l give
you lines and turn you into trump
If YOU go on with it.
IAN the same, Evelyn darling---
Come right off it," said Evelyn.
I'm not taking any.
IT was while Evelyn was consid-
crins whether she would pack her
green tea gown that the front door
bell rang. Ponson. pausing at her
door, inquired whether she was at
home. and Evelyn. after saying NO. "
suddenly changed her mind and SAID
Yes"
1t might. OF course. be Cotty or Mrs.
Cotty But on the other hand it might
be Marcia Lane, whom she really
wanted 10 see-or it might be Laydon.
The bare possibility was enough TO
make her revoke her No"
She went into the drawing room and
waited. furious with herself because
her cheeks were hot. She bent over
the fire to provide them with legiti-
mate excuse, and heard behind her the
sound of the opening door and Pom
sons voice. very carefully restrained:
Mrs. Albert Laycock."
The door was shut again. and Eve
lvn found herself gazing spellbound at
Pearl Palliser in mourning garb SO
deep that it fairly took her breath
away. She had on dress which was
almost covered with rustling crepe and
a long widows veil. Her hands were
incased in black kid gloves. and she
wore the widest and most noticeable
of lawn collars and cuffs. A jet chain
hung to her knees.
Evelyn found herself shaking hands.
We'll, dear" said Miss Palliser;
you see how it is
MFR. Laycock?'
sCopo Said Mice paliiSpr Her
voice was cheerful. but she raised her
eyes perfunctorily TO the ceiling.
THE cable came while you were
away. Very prompt. I'm sure. and
only goes To prove what I've always
said, that it's a real blessing to be
living in up-to-date times. where
you're not kept waiting months and
years TO hear a bit of news"
She paused to take breath. and set.

majestic woe.
Even the fact that the coat which
she had left in the hall was both old
and shabby did not impair her dignity.
She assumed the garment after the
manner OF a. tragedy queen and de-
parted full OF inward satisfaction.
Evelyn stood in the middle Of the
room, quite still.

divorced her husband and he knew tina
she was a drifting waif, at present, for
ali her talk OF the Spanish g~reat-grand-
father. But what he wondered was II
the charm he left in her ran deep enough
TO be developed into something steadily
satisfying or whether it would peter out
into a mere trickle of attraction, and
whether she would be thoroughly pre-
sentable anywhere after a little endow-
ment. He wished he could try her out
without being committed too far.
Good evening, Forsyth" he said, max
ing his way past Mick.
Mick gave him the respectful but en-
thusiastic smile ne had on hand for big
business.
Good evening, Mr.. Panton.'

there was no way to refuse after explain

Carts came across the lounge Just then.
She was wearing the orchid and blue
dress and she looked quite as lovely as a
girl can who makes being lovely her sole
business. Her dress was pastel and naive,
her faxen hair was n more pale note
OF color and her eyes for the minute
were deeply violet. Every one looked at
her, many OF the women with faint hos
tility as If they suspected that such per-
lection must be designing. Between the
handsome young man n the hand

dining room, n the music Of the vio-
Inns and the Difference of the head waiter
greeted them pleasantly.

against he waves, and was full of ad-
mlratlon. But as he plunged in after
her he, too, was conscious that this day
mad not been a perfect continuation of
the mood which had lifted them both
into such happiness the night before. He
wished that Joan did not have her mind
made up on SO many points. AT least, so
firmly.
Joan had a family engagement that
night which for some reason, disciplin-
airy or otherwise, did not include Mark.
She had been very pleasant about it and
he carried away with him the memory
and feeling Of her arms as they had sud-
denly flung around his neck in a mo-
ment of almost childish abandonment.
All the way back to the hotel his mother
talked about the Sinclairs. She was a
kindly but repetitive lady and her en-
thusiasm and excitement gave her a
headache, so that in the end she decided
to dine on scrambled eggs, asparagus n
a current magazine In her rooms n
leave Mick to his own devices. That was
why at seven o'clock Mick was alone in
the lounge, wearing the dinner clothes
That he had put on before his mother
had discovered she was tired out. He
looked detached.
1t was the detached look at w. G..
Panton, that gentleman who noted SO
$1,000 @At*AO ANAAO0 AAAo ~ a
sion, observed. He liked Mick's looks and
he knew enough about him to have him
perfectly classified. A smart young fell
low in George Avery's bond house with
out much money back of him and some
excellent connections.
Mr.. Panton was in that meditative
mood which with him usually precluded
action. He had always been a serious
man and to a very great extent a eau
tious one, but he had begun to be aware
during the last few years that there were
a good many things that he was not get
ting out of life and that most of the
things which he was getting, like board
meetings and Difference made fair to re-
peat themselves without much variety
and more a. q little monotony. In
centive to making money had been slack
ening in him. He had plenty, more than
he himself would ever conceivably use,
his wife had been long dead, his daugh-
ter was fortunately and successfully mar
ried.
For his wife HI had worked %arduously
he had been able to give her every
thing except continuing life. But now
that his money meant neither necessity
nor even delight to any one, Mr.. William
Panton sometimes realized that he could
no longer, with any assurance, use all
the fingers on n hand to count the
decades of life left to him and he won
dered If there were o charm n pleas
ure waiting along new paths. He had
no desire to become n OF those rakish
old men with fatuous eyes who haunt
country clubs and hotels, and yet he
asked himself sometimes If there were
not a half way house between the faulty
of those men who chased youth and en-
Joyment INK the dizziness of lonely and
unneeded old age.
However. he was q person of more
dignity than Joan gave him credit for
and he had no intention OF being stam-
peded. He only knew that in these last
few weeks Carts Temple had first inter-
ested him casually n then more deeply,

beauty was perhaps a trifie artificial. but
that did not offend him. And she seemed
tractable n plastic, as II she would
bend TO a mans mood. Mr.. Panton was
a little tired Of excessively smart young
married women like his daughters
girls like the pretty one he had seen
with young Forsyth this morning. So
thinking. he referred to that.

this morning, Forsyth"

mented Mr.. Panton.

a large order when she's so pretty into
the bargain. They ought to advertise
the star she was born under. She GER
tainly sets off sport clothes"
Mick looked at her, remembering what
Joan had said about dyed beauty. This
girl was more generous to Joan than Joan
had been to her. n she didn't look
dyed. She looked-well, a little soft,
maybe, mo- like Joan, of course, or that
type of girl, but still awfully easy on
the eyes.
You haven't got anything to kick
about" he told Carts, which in its jolt
ing manner was a compliment
Carts laughed.

way, I'm not kicking. I'm having Inner

room and that's something, even If you
put it in a wall safe"
She swept them both with a swift,
ilattering glance which set them up. They
Immediately felt handsome.
The dinner prolonged itself. They
talked of many things, bonds and Cali
fornia and Chicago, of motion pictures
and of people. Carts had a way of let
ting conversation drift away from her
and then swimming lazily u to meet it.
1t was half-past nine before they left
the dining room and found themselves
In the lounge again.

lINDY' VISITS HOME
 HE KNEW IN BOYHOOD
Finds Relic Hunters Have Damaged Residence His
 Father Built

Little Falls, Minn., Aug. 25 R- Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's homo town is his host today for the first time since he hopped across the At- lantic to France. He lived hero from the time he was two years old until he was twenty. and the homo folks were ready with the welcome only home folks can give.
 l Besides former neighbors and friends. there were a host of inani- mate things Col. Lindbergh has been wanting to see. Mainly. there was the old "place''-100 acres of farm ] land and a 10-room house on 1t. It is the house in which Colonel Lindbergh spent his youth.
 Relic hunters had sought 1t out long since. and it wears the scars they inflicted. Years, too, have left their marks, for the house was built in 1904 by the late Congressman Charles Lindbergh, the flyers father. Though it was congressman's home, it was just farmhouse until the boy who once played about on its floors achieved great fame. Over night it became a place of historic significance.
 Col. Lindbergh and Mrs. Evange- line Lindbergh. his mother, are ex- pected to confer while here with N. N. Bergheim. attorney for the elder | Lindbergh's estate, with view to purchasing the homestead. Col. Lindbergh. with others, Is an heir to the property. MT. Bergheim said the flyer hopes to buy the interests of other heirs. rehabilitate the build ing and reestablish both home and farm.
 Mrs. Lindbergh did not outline her plans in letter she wrote the attor- ney. but he said he understood the place was desired as a summer home for Mrs. Lindbergh and her son.

New Plan Will Comb Waters Off Islands and Comb Waters
 Along Route of Lost Planes
TESTS PROVE THEORY
 PLIERS STILL AFL0AT
Search in Hawaiian Waters Carried On All Day, but Without Develop ing Trace of Lost F1iers-NIartin Jensen, second Prize Winner, Flies Near Mount Mauna But Sees no Indication of Reported Flares.

Washington. Aug. 25.-(R>-A second extension of the search be- ing made to locate the missing Pacific flyers was decided upon to- day by the navy department. The searching operations were to have been halted tonight.
 The new plan of search will take five or six additional days, and calls for one investigation off the Ha- waiian islands and another by the light cruiser Omaha and fifteen de- stroyers from point GOO miles off San Francisco to the islands.
 The minesweepers Widegon and Ortolan will search southwest of the island of Hawaii for a distance of 520 miles, while the minesweeper Pelican and the tug Sunnadin will take in the area northwest of the island of kaui as far as French Frigate Shoals. The submarines of the R-class which are stationed at Pearl Harbor will cover the area
 
 for 300 miles.
 Tests Prove Theory
 Tests of a rubber life raft, the same in every respect as those car- ried by the Dole fliers, renewed hope that the lost aviators might still be afloat. The tests, conducted 12 miles out in San Pedro channel with an IS mile westerly wind. a choppy sea, and heavy ground swell, convinced J. N. Listman, chief boatswain in the U. s. coast guard, and commander of the cutter 25-R that it would be impossible to swamp the raft.
 The results of the test indicated to coast guard officials that, if the fliers successfully got aboard their rafts with supplies sufficient to sus- tain life, they could float indefinitely

New Haven, Aug. 25.-(F)-The Connecticut Eclectic Medical Exam ing board, the State Eclectic Medi- cal society, three eclectic medical schools and many of their officers, and the appellants themselves all committed fraud upon the state of Connecticut in connection with the education and licensing of the seven eclectics whose appeals from the re- vacations of their licenses were heard in July before Judge Allyn L. Brown in superior court. the brief of special Attorney General J. w. Car penter alleges.
 The brief has been filed at the of- flee of the clerk of the superior court of New Haven county.
 The appeals covered in the brief are those of Drs. Samuel Lerner of Bridgeport. M. Coppola of New Haven, William H. Feldman, Will liam Levy and Eetamar A. Mower of Hartford, Antony R.

All represented them selves as graduates of the St. Louis college of Physicians and Surgeons, and medical training at the Middle sex college of Cambridge, Mass, and various other schools. was claimed by various of these appellants sup plementary to that at St. Louis.
 Fraud is Issue
 The principal question in the ap- peals, according t6 the contention of the state, is whether the licenses are tainted with fraud. It is signifl- cant that statute does not confine power of revocatic to the case where the certificate is procured by the fraud of the appellant. It pro- vides for revocation in case the N- cense was procured by fraud XXX and it matters not who committed 1t, whether the appellants, whether
