CHAPTER VII-Continued

Apparently unaware of her latent
hostility, he tweaked his daughters
short hair, explained that he had come
to see Rod on business, that when he
discovered he had gone he had planned
to follow him to the city.
''But now" he looked at Prudence
and twisted one end of his mustache,
"I'll camp here until Rod returns"
Armstrong touched Prues arm.
Jump into the car. You were in a
hurry to get home, weren't your"
Prudence caught Jeans hand. "Your
daughter is coming to stay with me,
Mr.. Gerard. The visit was planned
before we knew you were coming. You
won't need her here, will you?"
Walter Gerard smiled. "Of course,
shall miss my dear little girl, but
wouldn't deprive her of what 1 know
will be a pleasure. Au revoir. Don't
feel badly about leaving me, Jean. I'll
drop in to see you daily"
The car shot forward.
At the entrance to the red brick
house, Armstrong, lifting bag from
the rumble, said in low voice:
eff that fellow annoys you by COM
ing here, Prue, give me a ring. I'll
see that he doesn't repeat"
"My word, Jim, don't scowl so. How
can you stop his coming to see his
dear little girr?"
"Piffle! He's lost his job, I'll bet
hat. Rod would lose his mind if he
knew Walt was in the neighborhood."
'"Then he mustn't know. Curious
that he should appear just as Rodney
left. wonder-I wonder" She
looked up at Armstrong; specialized
eyes without seeing them.
'Do you know, Jim, something tells
me that Galloway pulled the wire that
brought Walter Gerard to High
Lodges"

lifted two Of the lovely blossoms to
her face.
Rod certainly has said it with flow
ers this time" Armstrong observed
gruffly.
"Said what?" Prudence demanded,
and promptly wished she had not
asked the question.
your innocence is good but not
good enough, Prue. Want to hear this
letter? I'm in hurry"
"Of course l want to hear it. Jean,
dear, take the roses to Jane Mack and
ask her to put them in vases. Come
to the shop, JIM"
Armstrong followed Prudence into
the room. AS she perched on the stool
in front of the tool-littered bench, he
frowned at the open safe.
'Do you leave that unlocked? You
need guardian. 1t would be easy for
someone to pick up those unset jewels

to brighten you, but that escaped con-

sit may ease your mind to learn
that you and David and Jean-and one
other, 1 did tell Rodney Gerard-are
the only persons who know have
those unset stones"
"Fouri It's four too many. There's
bound to be one broadcaster in the
bunch. Keep the safe locked. Is Walt
Gerard still putting on the devoted
father act? He has, as I suspected,
lost his job. Why is he hanging round
this town? don't like his eyes. They
are furtive."
"He is here on one pretext or an
other every day. He pretends that I
am the lure-I've heard his obvious
line before-but l know that I'm not.
And it isn't a paternal urge which
brings him, I'll wager my best bit Of
jade"
"Does he annoy your"
.'Don't roar He annoys me by TAX

blouse Is of red and gold lame.
fiattering silver fox collar with huge
matching muff add "class" to this out
fit de luxe. By the way we are going
to see more muffs during the next few
months than we have seen for winters
and winters past.
The smart town suit to the left radi-
ates that feeling of quiet elegance
which bespeaks refinement and good
taste. The brown striped wooden of
which it is tailored is more than or
binary weave. The effective styling Of
the generous mink collar is noteworthy
in that it emphasizes the vogue which
calls for clever rever treatments. This
accent on designful revers is very no
ticeable throughout the fall and win
ter mode. The blouse worn with this
suit is chartreuse crepe patterned with
gold threading.
The interesting note to carry in mind
in regard to the suit to the right is
that the jacket tops one-piece dress
an excellent idea for winter warmth
as well as costume chic. The jacket
and-dress suit is favorite theme with
designers. Very often the scheme is
carried out in two woolens such as
plaid for the dress with duvetyn or
velveteen in a solid color for the
jacket, the plaid repeated in the jacket
lining. Nutria fur trims the light OK
ford wool suit in the picture. Fashion
reports from Paris all stress the i'm
portance of nutria trimming and other
similar furs. Another outstanding
fashion is the black wooden suit which
is trimmed in white ermine, galyak or
breitschwantz.

WINTER GLOVE-MUFF
BECOMES ACROBATIC

The winter glove-muff is becoming
almost acrobatic. With wide and high
cuffs reaching to the elbow, they look
like coat sleeves, as they are intended
to look, and when folded back over the
hands and snapped together to form
the muff, they in no way detract from
the sleeve arrangement of the coat.
So wide is the cuff and so cleverly Is
the glove attached to it that the whole
thing can also be worn as hat. The
hand of the glove is turned inside and
lies fiat across the top of the head,
while the cuff-either of fur or fabric
forms the hat that IS crushed into
shape and held in place with pin,
feather, flower or button.

for Jean of these stones-and haven't
touched my tools since David left until
this minute. Now, Jim, the letter."
For an instant there was no sound
in the room but the tick of the clock.
Armstrong pushed his spectacles up on
his forehead as he began to read.

CHAPTER VIII

AS the week Travelled forward, Pru-
dence's suspicion that Walter Gerard
and Galloway were in some under
ground fashion allied strengthened.
Why did she think it, she asked her
self, as perched on stepladder she
carefully welded a brush in her white
gloved hand.
Another splash Of yellow on her blue
smock. One before had trickled from
her suspended brush an hour ago when
she had heard plane flying over the
house. For an instant she had thought
that her brother and Gerard had re-
turned from New York; then she real
lied that it could not be they, they
woulun't come without the men from
the Rescue mission-supposing that
the men had decided to accept the
offer of work.
'Miss Prue! Miss Prue." Jean, in a
white apron over her green wool frock,
followed her voice into the room. "Mr.
Jim Is here! Uncle Rod is coming

He held out the white box.

without touching it.
'If your name is Prudence Schuyler.

Prudence set the box on the table,

Milliners Are Awaiting
New Trimmings for Hats

Hat trimmings have not said their
last word and all the new millinery
collections are reserving very i'm
portant place for them. There is a
supple black felt toque, the front part
of which is turned down as brim
and gathered in draped effect against
the crown, where it is held by motif
in. red plastic material and metal,
which is pinned through the felt.
Also, there is cloche in grenat felt,
entirely covered with rayon stitches
in lighter shade and in checked de-
sign. The crown is fastened at the
back from the top of the head down to
the hat band with black plastic but
tons in half-conic shape.

His shifting eyes rested for an In

of color as the sunlight touched them.
He whistled, long low whistle.

Prudence held stone to the light.
Mice color, isn't it?"
He took the pincers from her hand
and held up the stone. "Nice! It's
a corker. Interesting work you're do
ing. Do you use precious stones as
well?"
Prudence nodded toward the safe.
"Yes. In there I have a fiawless
emerald, pigeon blood ruby, and
star sapphire with a number of dia-
monds. All of them, except the en-
erald, bought at bargain before the
Schuyler income went down for the
third time. l have more money tied

Il haven't heard from your brother
nor from mine, except a postcard Of

writer David is total loss.'
II suppose you have no idea what's
being done to the old cattle barn?"
"Why not ask your brother? 1t is
his property"
Il can wait for developments, and
believe me, they'll come fast. Well,
I'll get along" He glanced at the
safe. Better keep that locked. There
is convict on the loose, remember"
He turned on his heel and departed.
Farming might be thrilling, but it
certainly took a lot of energy and
strength when one was new at 1t, Pru-
dence reflected, as late in the evening
she flung herself on the couch in the
tirelighted living room.
A clock ponderously told the hour.
Her glance fingered on the crimson
roses straight and. perfect in the tall
silver vase as she counted. Eleven!
She punched the pillows under her
head in a more comfortable arrange
ment. She ought to go to bed, but
she was too dead to the world to move.
Her eyes went to the red roses as
if drawn by magnet. Feeling as she
did about Rodney Gerard-hadn't

"Miss Prue! Miss Prue!'
A scream or a nightmare? Pru-
dence stumbled to her feet. She had
been doing.
Miss Prue!"
What looked to be a mammoth stick
of pink and white striped candy shot
down the bannister. Jean and Prue
reached the threshold Of the workroom
together. A wobbling flashlight
clutched in her bony hand revealed
wild-eyed Jane Mack robed in a long
white nightgown, buttoned close to
throat and wrists.
