A Suggestion
In this column recently We we're

without something TO write about
was as bad off as a college boy

thing about something.
We received an answer and a
suggestion TODAY from Monty

publisher OF Monty's Monthly.

idea, Monty. but the trouble is very

Mitchell was pacing like q Gagged
animal. He stopped short as the
door opened and the two women
entered.
This is Rose,v Evelyn Parsons
began. Rose. tell Mr.. Mitchell
when and where you saw Miss
Celia last"
The maid looked sleepy. She held
a long. figured robe about her. ap-
parently slipped over a nightgown.
Though she had arisen from bed
Rose had been thoroughly coached
BY her mistress.
I think il was about four
o'clock" the maid answered. i
Was coming through the hall and /
saw Miss Celia standing in front
Of the mirror in her room putting
on her hat. She didn't say any,
thing but a minute late- when I
was in Mrs. Parsons dressing room
I heard the door shut and then
footsteps going toward the outside
door. That's all I know about IT,"
she was alone? Mitchell asked.
Yes, sir. There wasn't anyone
else here but the cook in the
kitchen"
you say It was about four
o'clock? Earlier or later than
that?"
I'm not just sure. sir. but 1t
must have been about that time
because at $50 I went downstairs
to do an errand. It couldn't have

Il see. I suppose you know
Celia's disappeared. Has she ever
said anything to you that might
give you an idea where she could
have gomez"
Rose looked toward Mrs. Parsons
and shook her head. NO. sir. She
never did"
We'll. this doesn't help much"
Mitchell was addressing Evelyn.
Someone else must have seen her.
How about that doorman-the M

but We can reach him. Rose.

where 10 call the man who was at
the door this afternoon"
Before the maid could take up
the telenhone Mitchell had it in his
hand. I'll do IT," he said. and i'm
mediately was in conversation with
the operator.
The result Of 10 minutes OF al
ternate waiting and frantic con-
versation produced the news that
Celia Mitchell had left the apart
ment in company with a tall young
man whom the doorman had seer
frequently. Thew had driven away
In a black roadster. The doorman
agreed that IL might have been
about four o'clock but he vas not
sure.
Mitchell slammed down the tele-
phone. Its that Shields" he ex-
claimed. Blind fool-why didn't /
guess. Good God. they may be

He pushed her aside. Where
does Shields live?" he demanded.

There could be no doubt Of
Shields sincerity. Even the dis
traught father saw that. His tone
altered.
But didn't you meet her at the
apartment-at four o'c,ock?"

Mitchell's face had turned a
grayish tinge. The doorman said
they got into a roadster he be-
gan when Barney interrupted:
Maybe ii was Jordan" he said
Il saw them together the day be-
fore" /,
Celia? Wit hJordan?'
Barney recounted the incident
hastily. He named the hotel and said
that ne had gone there TO meet a
business acquaintance. Celia had ap-
peared with Tod Jordan and a girl
whom Barney did not know

urged. Il can't sleep unless I know

They searched a directory to find
the address. Then in Mitchellis car
