BENT to where Noel's hand
pointed and agreed with his
= theory that here was the trail OF
the a which had taken Prince
Georges. whether dead or alive. from
the scene Of the nurderous attack
which had been made upon him. There
were two well-defined double tracks,
one going toward the restaurant
where Noel and / had dined, and
toward the inn for a few feet. his
flashlight following the tracks,
stopped abruptly, bent to the road,
circling the flashlight around. and
then ran back to us.
1.-THE trail is plain" he said. "A
car came past here, put on brakes
suddenly and skidded a bit. Then
it turned around and came back"
Can you see the traces Of any
other a beside yours?" I asked.
Fresh tracks, I mean"
NO" he answered, and one Of the
walters struck in with the comment
that there had been no visitors to
the restaurant for a full hour be-
fore we appeared.
Trade is terrible dull tonight" he
added.
With the knowledge that there
was nothing more to be learned at
this point, I turned to Noel.
I'VE must find out where the car

also do some telephoning."

voice the fear Of police publicity

mo. not yet" I returned decidedly,
for I felt that Lillian and Harry
Underwood should be informed of
this affair before anything else was
done. Fresh in my memory were the
details of the plot involving Princess
Dina which Harry Underwood had
frustrated, almost at the cost Of his
life. Prince Georges was a member
of a royal family, in all probability
for him should be in the hands OF
the Government secret service with
which Lillian was still connected,
though not actively. and the police
called In only when she should wish
them.
The man gave a sigh Of relief.
That's better, ma'am," he said.
"Was there anybody you'd like me
to telephone for you? I could run
back and do it."
THANK you, but I must get to the
telephone more quickly than that"
rejoined. Noel, will you take the
flashlight and follow the tracks OF
that car? If they leave the road
wait until I come. but II not, keep
on toward the main highway"
There amt no road crossing this
one till you get to the Montauk
Highway" the waiter volunteered.
"Leastwise not one q car could get

I heard Lillian catch her breath

IS not much from the
II hands of Fate" adjures a
certain astrological adviser,
yet the chart for this day points to
several outstanding events Of a per-
sonal as well as business nature. In
the realm Of social. domestic and
romantic affiliations there may be
important developments, to bring
much advantage and pleasure. In
business new ventures are in order,
but nevertheless there may be de-
lays and distractions, and the entire
situation may be complicated by
rashness. turbulence and ill-temper.
Those whose birthday 1t is may
look for a year Of some pleasant per-
sonal experiences. In business there
may be new ventures, but these may
be thwarted. postponed or nullified
by turbulence and lack Of restraint
and good management. With care
things may be made to progress. A
child born on this day may be en-
dowed with many contradictory
qualities. 1t may have many social
qualities and talents, but also may
be impetuous and turbulent. It's
career will not be monotonous.
