ters were hard to read, but Helen had
never devoured anything as avidly as
she did the few lines that her grand
father had written to her on his
death bed.
Dear Helen" the letter read, "I'm
afraid won't last much longer and
I'm wondering what will become Of
you. I thought Tyson Peabody would
look after you, but recently I've got
so don't trust him. He watches
me every minute, almost, as though
he couldn't wait for me to die.
$50 I'm going to fool him. He
thinks all my money and my securi-
ties are In my desk here. Well, they
were, until last night. Then I got up
when he was asleep, and moved them
into the big secretary in the room
you always had when you visited me.
There's secret drawer In the secre-
tary, opened by little knob under
the lowest cubbyhole on the right.
You'll find all my valuables there.
God bless you, my granddaughter.
II you need help or advice, go to
John Wall or DR.. Wilson. Don't trust
Tyson Peabody too far. If I have
time before die I'm going to change
my will and not allow him to stay on
in the house. But I'm pretty weak,
and that trip to your room last night
just about finished me.
"Your loving grandfather,
DAVID CHANDLER"
HELEN stared at the letter, hardly
able to believe her eyes. This,
then, was the explanation Of Tyson
Peabody's frantic searchl The secret
was locked up In the old secretary
in her room-the very secretary at
which she had sat so often during
the last few weeks.
She turned and sped back to the
house, bursting through the front door
and running up the stairs. In her
excitement she never thought Of lock-
ing the door of her room behind her,
but she did shut it. Then she rushed
across the room, opened the lid Of
the secretary and reached into the
lowest cubbyhole on the right with
trembling fingers.
The sides of the compartment were
perfectly smooth; there was no sign
of knob anywhere. Feverishly she
read the letter again. It said the
knob was under, not in, that par
ticular space. Her hurrying fingers
probed beneath the little shelf. There
it was! Now to press it
There was a sudden knock on the
door, sharp and commanding. She
barely had time to swing around when
the door opened and Tyson Peabody
entered. He paused and stood silent,
staring at her.

you'll haze fun telling your friends
fortunes. An amateur fortune-teller
Is dltDdyS popular at pdrties.)
THE ordinary hand has seven little
pads of flesh, known as mounts.
They are named for various planets.
In reading fortunes, note which
mount stands out most prominently.
People ruled by the Jupiter mount
are proud, ambitious, dignified and
somewhat vain. They are lovers OF
nature and Of good food. Usually
they marry early and well.
The Saturn type is studious and
eond Of history, biography and SCI
ence. He is cautious and looks on
the dark side of things, but he is
patriotic He seldom marries young
and is often a bachelor.
The Apollo mount marks person
who Is gay and talkative. He learns
quickly, but forgets easily. He Is
fond of parties and Is good company,
but Is not always sincere. He is likely
to make hasty decisions on his
lunches, but he is artistic and usually
versatile. Often he marries unhappily.
People of the Mercury type are
shrewd. witty and good in science
and sport, as well as in business.
Most singers have a well-developed
mount of Venus, and they are kind
and sympathetic. They usually marry
young and happily
A well-developed Upper Mars mount
(between Luna and Mercury marks
