Veronica looked along the path right and left, and back over the cliff waste behind us
 MT. Grenofen," she said, 'I've had a man concealed near by"
 T am not surprised--I saw him this morning. He dodged down a moment too late.' I gaped for an instant, and then it broke on me.
 ! Your mother" Didn't say where you could find me for nothing. But you didn't come on. So I couldn't tell you. And since then" 1, Her breast heaved.
 "Mr. Grenofen," she went on. I'm going to ask you to take me on trust and help this man. l wish you not to see him-simply because I don't want you to be compelled to lie about him" i It may even be that if Veronica had said to me bluntly, Look here, I'm concealing murderer and l want you to help me" I should ihsve answered "Righto!" 1 But she did not put it that way; If I had sought a crafty excuse for my conduct, I could have said to myself, Veronica never told me anything about this man, and how was I to know?"
 Still it was useless to try to jus tify oneself. The condolences of this endless day were too powerful. Accordingly I disregarded all ul- terior consequences and satisfied myself with the gratitude of Yer onicas blue eyes.
 What did it matter? The Sea- brokes might have had some con nection with Pell in the past. The ! Seabrokes might be mixed up with 1 this mysterious person whom we called Pell's ghost. 1 The very man I was now asked to protect might have lurked that afternoon in the dark passage to Fotherbury's wine cellar. Ano still I should have put my confi- dence in Veronicas blue eyes.
 Even so, the next thing she said was startling.
 q want to ask you, if you gc lhcme and find your mother enter taining an old friend of her fam ily of whom you've never heard, not to look astonished, but just fall II with everything and pick up every cue.'
 "At Woodcot?" I gasped, when realized the intention of this.
 "Yes, at Woodcot.'
 My mother!' I gasped.
 "Yes. your mother. She's
 trump. She's even more under
 standing than her son"
 So my mother was in it! Thi monstrous conspiracy of women ; First. Mrs. Seabroke's unwontet perturbation, her strange request Then Veronica-her hidden com panion-her unusual conduct al day. And finally-my mother } party to this intrigue. The ghos of Roger Pell had started to dol
 my footsteps, to haunt the dream that formerly concerned themselve ) only with Veronica Seabroke's blu !. eyes.

Chapter 12 A WOMAN'S INTRIGUE


 Mrs. Seabrokes peculiar agita- tion and strange request were up- permost in my thoughts during dinner. My mother did not appear to observe my abstraction and did not mention Newplace until she had seen me well through my food. Then
 That Professor Laxton-" she said. He seems a remarkable man. Is he coming back here tonightP' That was startling possibility which had not occurred to me. But I thought not When the police had finished with him, Laxton would probably go to the inn where he had left his car, or he might even drive back to London.
 "M'yes," said my mother, ''he is night bird, isn't he?"
 So at least one person knew of our escapade the night beforel I got away at half past nine and walked out through the sand dunes to the little cliffs past the Sea- brokes. I had no reluctance to meet Veronica, whatever the occa- sion. But tho more I reflected upon Mrs. Seabroke's commission, the stranger it appeared.
 First, if Veronica had been visit ing in Hollam Bay the most na- tural thing for her to do would be to take the train to Blackwater Ruling out both, to walk home by the road, which was three miles shorter. Walking seven miles round the coast as a late evening eXer- else was, to say the least, eccen- tric.
 But I should not have bogglee over it save for Mrs. Seabroke' manner of making the request. Ane I should have forgotten all abou both if I had met Veronica a 10 o'clock stepping out in her GUS tomary business-like style. Th' meeting with Veronica was yer! different.
 On the 25th of June, not far of the longest day of the year, Il o'clock at night is broad daylight At the very turn where I had stop ped in the morning I looked aheat and saw Veronica standing on tn cliff. as if she had never move' since. She must have seen m again quite plainly, but again sh made no movement. This time walked on and up to her.
 Veronica held out her hand.
 Your mother told me" said you'd be coming back this way She asked me to meet you an tell you a rather sad and startlin bit of news"
 About poor MT. Pell, I suppose? said Veronica, amazing me. "Ol it's all over the place."
 "Even in Hollam Bay already?
 T daresay-well,yes, of cours In Hollam Bay. Has father gS back yet?"
 undoubtedly"
 q told mother you were an UT derstanding person, MT. Grenofen
 Mrs. Seabroke was good enoug to pass on the compliment, but tn evening I feel that I deserve 1t le' than ever. Believe me, Miss Ses broke, I understand nothing. In hours since I saw you back ther half a dozen astounding thlnf have happened and I comprehen not one of them"
 But. said Veronica, you UT derstand enough to realize whe two women are in grevious troubl don't you?'
 T hope I should never fail woman in trouble, Miss Seabroke
 Veronica looked me straight the eyes.
 T don't think you ever woui' But do you think I am capable asking you to do anything wrong morally wrong, I mean"

After an illness of eight months,
Senator Shipstead from Minnesota, has
completely recovered and is back at
his work in the United States Senate
At times he was in such serious con-
dition that his friends were genuinely
alarmed.
The Senator was taken sick shortly
after the first of the year. He in
sisted, in the face of doctors orders,
on going to the Capitol to battle for
farm relief. He collapsed, spent
months in hospital and finally went
to the Northwest for a complete rest
He has been living on a farm in
Minnesota and leading an outdoor life
as much as possible and has made a
remarkable recovery.
Naturally, 1 have been forced to
neglect many things during my ILL
ness" said the Senator, "but the decks
will soon be cleared and we will be
prepared to face whatever may de-
velop during the regular session."

FUNDS OVERDRAWN
IN WINDEMERE TOWN

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 30-The gen.
eral fund of the township of Winde-
mere, in Pine county is overdrawn
nearly three times the amount of
income from taxes that can be legally
levied in one year, according to re-
port announced today by Henry Rines,
state comptroller.
An audit of the township books
showed March "a the general fund was
overdrawn $1,O72.71; the road and
bridge fund, $1,O5S.61, and the total
overdraft in both funds on Oct 10
last, the date of the audit, amounting
to $3,152.S8.
The balance of the taxes to be
collected for this year, together with
the probable collection for next year,
will rot amount to much more than
this overdraft, the report said. Any
further orders issued before the orders
not outstanding are paid will be in
violation of the law, according to the
report. Several alleged illegal pay
ments of minor nature. voted by the
board also are listed in the report.

sonal inquiries, found sentiment was
against the dilatory tactics developed
in the special session.
This week is devoted largely to re-
organization in the Senate and House.
The cliques are demanding places on
important committees in the Senate,
while the House is working out the
assignments without much difficulty.
This comparative peacefulness is at
tributed to the fact that there is less
partisan division in the lower assem-
bly, and a working majority which
gives the party in power a strong
hand. In fact, the representation of
the minority has accordingly been re-
duced on some committees. The i'm
portance of legislators is often judged
by their committee standing and their
usefulness to their district is rated
accordingly. Chairmanships are al
ways at a high premium because they
carry not alone power over legislation
but usually well equipped suite of
offices and large staff.
The initiation of an antitrust suit

CLAUS
VISITS COUNTY
Spends Monday I'm Hinckley With
Reindeer and an Eskimo
Companion.

The business men and members of
the American Legion post of Hlnck-
ley had spent much time and effort
making preparations for Santa Claus
who visited that village Monday with
his team of three reindeer, sleigh and
Eskimo.
Elaborate decorations including the
erection of Christmas trees and col
ored lights in front of each business
place in the main section of town
formed a perfect and fitting back
ground for yuletide's grand old man.
A corral of storm fences and ever
green's had been built on the school
grounds to keep the reindeer in dur
ing their stay in the village and need
less to say this was the center of
attraction for the youngsters during
that time, many of them emerging
from their homes at daybreak Mon
day morning in hopes Of getting a
glimpse of Santa and his reindeer.
School was in session in the fore
noon until 1920 and again in the
afternoon until O'Clock when it was
dismissed to allow Santa ample time
to pass out the candy and nuts to the
children which required approximate
ly 1000 sacks, all of which came out
of the Legendary sleigh" which was
parked near the corral on the school
grounds. In the forenoon the children
were asked to write letter to Santa
telling him what they wanted for
Christmas, after which he led one of
the reindeer through the business
places, many of which presented the
children with horns, balloons, etc.

Washington, December with the
attention of the nation riveted on the
latest mobilization of business called
by the President as means of stab
ilizing economic conditions. Congress
opened this week with a bad start.
1.-THE first annual message of the Pres
ident, delivered to the Senate and
House Tuesday, carried his policies
and opinions in unmistakable Ian
guage. The meaning of his words did
not set so we'll with some political
groups on Capitol Hill. Then the ma
tons business, financial and agricul-
tural leaders came here for powwow
at the instance of the Chief Executive,
and did not bother with the, gentlemen
at the other end of Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.. The vanity of the legislators was
ruffled for they have little liking for
plans which do not call for their APP
proval.
While industrial leaders did not
consult with the legislators, the Pres
ident made it clear to Congress that
he expected their cooperation in pro-
viding the authority for government
projects. The President has maneuv-
cred so that the people will know
just who to blame for the failure of
any confirmatory legislation proposed
for the relief of the workers Of all
classes. 1t is reported that many
Senators who found time to make per-
