THAT is bad luck" said Jimmie. but
cannot quite see why Donald sent
you to me. What can I do?"
He thought" said Duckworth, that
you would be able to suggest some way
in which the man who wrote them
could be caught before he does what he
threatens to do"

Women are perhaps more fond of send
ing anonymous letters than men" said
Jimmie. though insinuations rather
than threats of violence are generally
their line"
They might, Of course, come from
a woman" agreed Duckworth. I'VE
had not thought of that"
Have there been other discharged
servants? Or tenants or neighbors with
real or fancied grievances"
There may have been" said the
girl, but none that we can see real
grounds Of suspecting."
1T seems to me" Jimmie said. SLOWLY
that your aunt is taking the wisest
view of the matter. Certainly the no.
lice should endeavor to find out who
sends the letters, and If they continue
to come, I expect they will succeed
Otherwise it is best to ignore them"
You do t think my aunt il really
in danger?"
NO he smiled in reply. "I do not
think she is. Such letters are gener-
ally sent by some one who wants to
brighten, but is afraid to strike. That
is the only inference can suggest. A
murderer does not spread unnecessary
clues He makes his plans in secret

and he strikes without warning. II Joe
Allen or any one like him really meant
to injure your aunt, why tell her SC
beforehand
Then you think" said Duckworth
that Miss Querdling has nothing tc
fear, and Miss Blake need not worry?'
Let them take reasonable precau-
lions II they like, but trust the police,
and certainly not worry"
II am glad I came" murmured the
girl in a tone OF relief. Donald said
must, but l quite see what you mean.
I will tell Marjorie-she is my sister
and we won't let it frighten us any
more"
THAT is very sensible Of you Hand
the letters to the police. but otherwise
ignore them. Your unknown enemy
will, probably soon tire of his foolish
amusement.
Depressingly tired, Jimmie was glad
to see his callers depart, though they
left him to the contemplation of
thoughts not pleasant.
Such a tiresome day in court He
frowned at the picture. London gripped
by one of its periodic epidemics Of in
fiuenza and the dull court affected by
it. There was a flicker Of a smile as
Jimmie recalled that the learned judge
had sneezsd SO violently that his wig
had almost bounded of his forensic
forehead.
He could get away from It by accept
ing his Cousin Donald's invitation to
visit him and his wife in Yorkshire. A
temptation, indeed. 1t seemed as Jimmie

though what she had TO say seemed at
first hardly to justify it.

Miss Querdling. She is q wonderful
woman, with very strong nature. She
has great determination and Is entirely
indifferent to the opinions Of other
people. Consequently she is not ex-
actly popular, though she is really
very kind and does a great deal Of good.
Perhaps she has enemies. ANYWAY she
has been receiving threatening letters

what we are worrying about"
What exactly do you mean by
threatening letters?" asked Jimmie.
AT first they were vague" answered
the girl. "They said that she was to
be punished for whaS she had done.
Then they grew more definite and said
that she was to be killed.
Her voice dropped as she repeated
the terrible words. 1t seemed that they
had undoubtedly shaken her.

Jimmie. What had she done?"

Aunt Annabelle would not at first allow

gargled with an antiseptic. The
thought Of cool shower appealed
to her.

when Irene banged on the bath

Irene started to go back to her

stopped and listened. From the

CHAPTER TWENTY

IRENE, waiting up for her? Beryl
i looked at her sister, a lovely
creature in (the nerve of herb sea-
shell pink lounging pajamas that
we're Beryls. The flood of soft light
that came from golden shade was
fiattering TO Irene.
Beryl turned to Prentiss with a
feeling that she ought to shout a
warning to him. Of course he could
see for himself. but he couldn't
read the signals as Beryl did.
He would see only the golden hair
shining in the soft light, the CLEAN
OF a satiny shoulder, the childlike
pose Of innocent sleep.
Prentiss wouldn't know that the
lounging suit was taken without
permission from its owner and that
the wearer had waited up for her
sister for the express purpose Of
meeting him or, failing that, to talk
about him.
OF course, Berry, realized, she her
self could only guess at what was
in Irene's mind, but she knew her
sister very well. She felt she had
made a fair guess.
Beryl wanted to let Irene sleep,
but even as she put q silencing fin
ger to her own lips Irene stirred
and opened her eyes.
Seeing Prentiss standing there
staring at her, Irene sat up in pre-

no reason for genuine embarrass-
ment. Her costume was complete
with its yellow coat and she knew
her sister would understand that If
she had not hoped to be caught in
the pajamas she would not have
worn the coat on a hot summer
night.
Irene had learned through pain
full experience not to face Beryl's
cool gray eyes when she was en-
gagged in tricks. There was some
thing about Beryl which made
tricks, even the most commonly
practiced ones, seem cheap and
tawdry.
She wasn't going to have her
plans spoiled by Beryl, so she smiled
sweetly and alphabetically at Prem
tiss.
"I wanted to hear about the
party" she said in the voice of a
Cinderella, who had no parties in
her own life.
do you want a drink, Prentiss?"
Beryl asked in a mattel. of feet
tone.
Prentiss answered vaguely. "a
drink? Oh. yes; yes, of course. I
was thirsty, wasn't II"
May 1 have something, too?"
Irene pouted, still the little sister
who'd be suppressed If other peo-
pie had their way That was the
idea she hoped Prentiss would get.
Irene had learned that most mRn
enjoy being protectors, or imagin-
ing themselves such. She was young
enough to look helpless and ap-
pealing.
CTRANGE that little shallow
- minded Irene should know SO
much more about men than her
brainier sister. Was it instructive
knowledge that comes only to prim-
tive minds2 Or was 1t that much
talked Of woman's intuition?
Beryl wondered as she made her
way to the kitchen for the refresh
ments what Prentiss would say if
she were to ask him about this
Over the mixing Of the cool drinks
she smiled suddenly and said to
herself: 'Beryl, don't be a cynic.
There must be men in the world
somewhere who don't care for baby
dolls at any stage of the game.
Maybe Irene is just clever enough
to pick her men"

DR.. JORGA SUCCEEDS
IN FORMING CABINET
Leader of Rumanian Peoples Party
and New Ministry
Sworn In.
b the Associated Prsss.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, April 10
DR. Nicholas Jorga. leader Of the Peo-
pies party, succeeded In forming new
Rumanian cabinet today and it was
sworn in by King Carol tonight.
The organization followed the failure
Of Nicholas TituleScu, former Ambas-
sador to Great Britain, to draw up a
ministry satisfactory to the King. The
latter insisted that M. Argetoianu be
appointed minister Of the interior, but
former Premier Juliu MANU- refused to
serve with him.
DR.. Jorga becomes prime minister and
minister of education. The composition
Of the remainder Of the cabinet Is as
follows:
Minister of finance and temporary
minister OF foreign affairs-M. Arge-
toianu.
Minister Of labor-Dr. Cantacuzinu.
Minister of commerce and industry
NJ. Manoilescu.
Minister of transport--M Valcovici.
Minister of justice-M Hamangiu.
Minister of agriculture-M Sisesti.
Minister of warm Stephanescu
Minister Of interlor-M Camara-
schesku.
After the ceremony of installing the
new cabinet 1t became known it was
the King himself who had insisted that
Argetoianu be included among the min
listers, apparently recalling the time
when Argetoianu had opposed the
Kings Punishment.
Titulescu formed the cabinet. but
when Manu- objected TO ArgetalAnu's
inclusion Titulescu decline6 L, oppose
his old friend and PORTED his inability
= :orni q government.
TThereupon Jorga formed a ministry
including Argetoianu and excluding
Titulescu.
The Parliament is to be dissolved
forthwith and q general election will
follow.
