Get Many Tips
By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
mystery of what happened to all of
the $S,0OO,C00 Liberty bond profit
of the Continental Trading Com
pany has gripped the imagination
of the amateur sleuths of the coun-
try.
Senator Nye, chairman of the
Senate Public Lands committee, said
today that each mail brings scores
of "clews" and tips" about the
disposition of the bonds. The COM
mittee is being advised of Snatches
of conversation overheard, lines Of
reasoning to follow, and blind
lunches, he said.
Some of the suggestions received
by the committee, Nye said, may
prove definitely helpful. Others
suggest a desire on the part of the
authors to be summoned to Wash
ington with the hope of doing some
incidental sightseeing, he said.

your fate, and mine! But now
the way is almost cleared. Agnes,
my wife, died in Chicago last

Your wife-is dead? Died last

her. and .Madge read slowly aloud.

"It's too bad abou. him. Oh, end
the thing. End it! Tell him that
you want a divorce. He will give

"Oh, Carroll. no" she cried
shocked.
Ecstasy, Carroll was coming
to a showdown. "You can't play

adore you. What do ] care for
Michael Winchester? Nothing.
But / won't go behind his back

heartbroken. Go home and for

have sinned in loving you too
much.
AS Madge went quickly up the
stairs and began to get ready to
leave, she blamed herself. She had
been cruel. She had permitted her
beauty to torture him, and so had
gone further than she had in
tended. Poor Carroll! Whatever
his sins in the past, 1t was certain
that he loved her. She was sorry
that she had tortured him.
When she returned to the studio,
Carroll was not there. Hardy ap'
preached her respectfully.
"Mr. Dudley wished me to say.

would you please excuse him?"
He's ill. Hardy?"

down and just sent that message"
So she went away. little knowing
that before her car had reached
the end of the block, Carroll was
back in the studio, smiling grimly
at himself.
And that night, late, Carroll was
entertaining his friend, Oswald
Stewart, with a full account of the
mornings happenings as they sat
drinking together.
"You should have heard me, Os.

me hear you sob into the phone.
So that Madge heard CarrolIs
voice over the wire,
Il must see you, beloved" she
heard him say. Give me just five
minutesp'
She longed to tell him to come
to her, but she fought down the
desire, and next day, fearing lest
Carroll should try to force an in
terview with her, Madge surprised
her household by giving orders for
a quick move to Southampton.
1t was long before she sleft
that night. but she was awakened
early by &. Anna.
Forgive me-" the maid said,
"but / thought / ought to wake

That's quite all right, Anna"
Madge smiled at her. As she be-
gan to read the message, which
was much shorter and far colder
than usual:
THINGS SETTLED HERE
STOP ARRIVING FRIDAY AU.
GUST FIRST ON BERENGARIA.
(Signe0 MICHAEL"
She wondered at the terseness.
Bitterness welled up in her heart
against him.
Unable to return to sleep,
Madge got up. She bathed and
dressed and, after pretending to
eat. strolled out alone except for
Tam, who walked close at her
heels, There was a huge lawn

it. under tree. Madge sat down
on marble bench with Tam
beside her.
oh Tam she murmured. I'm

Anna came into the room.

But we are insane
Naturally we are insane, my
darling" he smiled down at her,
her arms still holding her so close
that she could feel the pounding
Of his heart. But how happily
insane"
But I must think" she began
feebly as she sat down.
You haven't anything to think
about" he assured her tenderly.
Literally, you can fly away with
me-"
Fly away with you, Carroll?"
There's the ship on the lawn"
he pointed. Write a letter to
Winchester telling him you have
flown away with the man you
love. And / have to be practical,

oh. l can't be rushed like this"
she began, when he interrupted
her
Remember, Winchester returns
on Friday. You want to be away
before then. Don't argue-come
with me-"
But there were many details
into which she insisted on gcing-
conditions to which he must abb
solutely agree.

promised her, so long as I get

lated. First of all-and this Is
the biggest condition, Carroll
tIdJ WAS the ldSL KISS.
The lastr' he protested.
The last kiss until am dI-
vorced and we are married" she
insisted, and although he argued
and pleaded, he could not change
her determination that they should
live on terms of platontc friend
ship until such time as they could
be married. Finally he agreed to
IT, and solemnly swore that he
would abide by that decision.
Then l don't want to see you

she continued. Carroll, l" love
the Delaware Water Gap country,
and think I would like to find
a farm there, where they take
boarders. You can fly from Pitts
burgh once a week while I am
waiting for the legal red tape to
be cut"
Again he protested. but Madge
was firm. She did not trust her
self to see him too frequently,
and this condition also was ac-
cepted by Carroll.
Then Madge went upstairs to
give Anna instructions to pack
few things in suitcase. She sat
down at her desk and, after
having torn up half dozen
sheets of note paper in fruitless
beginnings, finally achieved this:
II am going away, Michael,
with Carroll Dudley. l do not be-
lieve it will hurt you very much.
Please let the lawyers divorce us
as quickly as possible so that
