Murder on the Way"
Mystery Story.
.And now, my dear little Fraulein,
I do believe have found for you a
perfect position!" The homely face of
Miss wentworth was lit up with such
a smiling expression of eager pleasure
felt touched to tears.
"And what pleaSes me so much is
the fact that Mr.. and Mrs Quicksot,
with whom have placed you, live in a
charming Sussex village where my sis
ter is married to the rector. She will
make you welcome know"
AS she spoke she looked across her
table at the girl before her. How very,
very different was Luise Jansa to most
of the refugees! She was fragile, ex-
ceedingly pretty in a delicate way; her
hair was golden, and her eyes of clear
blue.
Miss Wentworth, who was a simple
soul with a kind heart, could not I'M
derstand why she had found it so diff
ficult to get Fraulein Jansa a nice
job. She had had one terribly hard po-
sition in a boarding house; in fact, the
work there had broken her down
The truth was that the ladies who
came to the Refugee Bureau found this
girl too attractive, when they remem-
bered their husbands and sons.
Luise Jansa's heart was now full of
gratitude and joy. She had been SO
terribly unhappy since she left her
beloved Vienna and came to England
She had had to share her room with
three other refugees at the hostel where
she had been placed; they did not like
her, and made that plain. For one
thing, they were German and she was
Austrian.
II have got your railroad ticket and
you will have to start within an hour,
for have arranged for you to be es-
corted by Jack Tenby. He is my BROTH
er-in-law's nephew and spends good
many of his weekends at Lovesmere."
"Lovesmere?"
why, yes, that's the curious name
of the village It is situated on the
kind of lake which in England is often
called a mere. AS to where the Love
called Loversmere. So I believe 1t is
described in Doomsday Book, for it Is
one of the oldest villages in England"
She took up a letter from her desk
The refugee interviewed by Mr.. Quick
sot last week, fell i'll. That Is why
can slip you in to this excellent po-
sition. He must be an extraordinarily

she was first-rate cook"
The speaker got up. And now, my
dear, goodbye and good luck! would
like you to take taxi to the hostel,
keep it while you pack, and then go
on to the station. I have told JACK
Henby to look out for you on the plat.
put in her note to the young man that
he could not mistake Miss Jansa, as
she was very pretty girl with golden
hair and blue eyes.
Behold the now happy refugee on
the platform of Victoria station. she
had her ticket in her hand, her small
cheap suitcase at her feet, and was
telling herself that even if this young
Englishman did not appear 1t did not
matter, for the name of the place, Har-
man Junction, where she was to get
out, was on the ticket:
Then all at once her hand was
grasped and she heard a GREATNESS
voice exclaim, II know you must be
Fraulein Jansa! Forgive my being
late" Before she knew what happened
she was being thrust into first-class
carriage by one of the tallest, darkest
young men she had ever seen. He TOOK
the ticket she held in her cotton-gloved
hands and leaned out of the window.
ence on this lady's ticket"
He took a ten shilling note out Of his
pocket, and the guard had scarce time
to give him the change before the
train glided out of the station. and he
sat himself down opposite to her.
II am so glad you are going 70
Lovesmere, Fraulein Jansa. 1t is an ex-
uuisite, unspoiled little village, five
miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton"
Then he paused, Has Miss Went
worth said anything to you about the
Quicksots?" Luise shook her head; IT
was strange how at ease she felt with
this rather peculiar, energetic young
man.
Then let me tell you about them,
for they are unlike most people. For
one thing Mr.. Quicksot is an inventor.
He believes that he has found way
of stabilizing the airplane while IN the
air. Once that Is achieved, all aviation
will be transformed, and many people
who now have an automobile Will have
a plane instead"
Luise felt thrilled at the thought OF
living in the home of an inventor:
Jack Tenby went on: Mrs. Quicksot
Is a great invalid. and some three
months ago she suddenly made up
her mind to live entirely in her bed
room and see nobody. That Is very
hard on her husband, but, according
to my aunt, Mrs. Anderson, he Is most
good and unselfish about it."
IT suppose" said Luise, that MIS-;
Anderson is a friend of Mrs. Quicksot?"
"She would like to be. for she Is very
kind, but Mrs. Quicksot never made
friends with anyone in Lovesmere. She
said frankly she hated village life and
thought poorly of country people. Yet
she has charming dwelling.
1.-THE Thatched House lies back from
the village street and there Is long
paved fore-court But Mrs. Quicksot
can't bear any noise, so the fine
wrought-iron gate Is always kept locked
and the side door is the only door
used.
"As to the house itself, it is prac-
tically divided into two. In the front,
