TH.E STORY THUS FAR: SIL, • O'Shay, rormerly a popular actress, and now the wife of the young multi -millionaire, Don klllsworth. dis- appears, leaving no trace behind her. Don visits Dr. Cavanaugh, the famous criminologist, and confesses that 'its married lite has been very unhappy. CHAPTER 1I. "I wish to heaven the police could have been kept out of it altogetheri Don's heavy black brows drew to- gether in a frown. He looked at the moment like n balked and sulky boy, "Indeed?" The doctor's voice bare- ly rose to make the non -committal word a question. He learned more front his patients by letting then talk than by quizzing them, and by apply- ing the sante technique to the normal, or even the criminal mind, he had listened to some remarkable confes- sions unattainable by "third degree" methods. He waited, in a silence which lapped the room. "I should have come to you in the first place!" Don burst out at last tapping his cigar nervously against the ash tray. "Only -well, :t's a been such a mess. I hoped it could be covered up. I might have known! It's rather a difficult matter to dis- cuss." "Take your time," Dr. Cavanaugh settled back in his chair with the air of a man who does not even have to be patient. The effect of this advice was to plunge his visitor 'nto hurried speech, "It was a weak ago --a week a€to last night, to be exact. Dinner wes as usual. We always kept up a rather good front, you know. And Sheila rather enjoyed playing the young ma. tion. It was a new role for her -her other marriages, she said, had lacked the brownstone atmosphere. She was in high spirits, as usual. Even when we were alone she never admitted by word et manner hat --oh, welll" E1.s- worth nesitated, and then went on, leaving the sentence unfinished. "Anyway, I'm sure that she wasn't worried or apprehensive or, particu- larly excited about anything. Sheila „ isn't the worrying type, •and as for apprehension -if she thought there was anything for her to be afraid of, she'd clap her hands together 'n that way she has and go after it as an added thrill. But there was absolute- ly no sign of anything in the wind. 1 remarked when we hal had our coffee that I was going around to the club - though as a matter of fact I didn't go After all. I just took a long drive all by myself into the country, thinking about -things. When I left the house she was on her way upstairs; she said she was going to bed early and get a good night's sleep, "That is the last I've seen of her, She left all the lights burning in her boudoir --they were still burning »ext morning. She didn't take anything with her, not even a suit -ease. In the morning she just -wasn't there, You know Sheila?" The doctor had listened without in- terrupting Don's recital by so much. as a nod or a gesture. "Not very well, unfortunately," he answered easily. "We haven't seen much of you since you' marries yen know." "No," Don said abruptly and stop- ped. "It was a mistake to be ashamed of your marriage," Dr',, Cavanaugh oh• served impersonally. "It is always a mistake to be ashamed, It creates un- necessary difficulties. What you elas you do. Either don't do it, or stand by it. You always go on from where you are, you know -not back," "I did etand ny jl didn't r t 1 Gel knows-" The young man's voice wa harsh wi - s "Ml's, Ellsworth left, and you want me to find her?" the older man' prompted imperturbably, "I want anything rather than ail' this blare -the very thing I'd givel my eye teeth to avoid." "You did not report that your wifef was missing, then?" "I certainly didn't. If you knew Sheila-" ++ "I saw het several times before she left the stage --and of course, es you know, we met casually once or twice since. But that's an insufficient basis for determinist what she would do." "She's rharning, of course -terribly charming," The savage tone took all compliment from the words. "She's- , vital. When she wants a thing, she simply gets it. • And scandal means absolutely nothing to her. It isn't in tier world. She wouldn't so much as laugh at it -she'd ignore it. It's even an asset to her, not a liability. She night go Iike that simply because she knows there's nothing I could -or would be willing to-do about it. Sim might do :inythingl" ''0h, no," the doctor protested mild- ly. "The number of things a given person might do are strictly !milted -by the person. But in this ease there's another person involved. If you didn't report her disappearance, who did?" ",Ars. Kane." Don's animosty to- ward Mrs. Bane was patent. "Mrs Kane?" "She was Sha)le's 'dresser,' I think they call it. A bard -boiled old cus- tomer. When Sheila left the stage-. when we were married" -his lips twisted wryly on the word-"sne brought Mrs. ICane with her as a per- sonal maid. She doesn't fit in with the rest of the staff, of course. Her manners are atrocious. She's always resented me." "Doubtless your manner to her was not exactly placating." Don swept the comment aside with an impatient wave of his cigar. "1 don't know why Sheila kept her. She's not the devoted lid retainer tyle at all. I've heard bee speak to Sheila in a way that would cost any proper servant her place at once. Impudent and surly, It was she who found the lights burning in ShePa'c boudoir the next morning. She had the nerve to come and ask me where `Miss O'Shay' was. Nothing on earth can keep her from calling Sheila Miss O'Shay, She knows I don't Bite it." Desp" anxiety which wrinkled his forehead, Don's injured tone was comically that of a spoiled child who is not used to having people do what he doesn't like, The briefest of smiles hovered at the corners of Dr, Cavanaugh's lip;, and was gone. "And then?" The calm vciee was like a guiding hand, leading Don back from his disgruntled consideration of the failings of Mrs. Kane, "0f course, when I found she was gone like that, I was upset. And she kept after rite. I -I'm afraid I lost my temper." Don flushed uneasily. All who knew him at all well knew of the futile rages which seize hint, often over trivial matters, and seemed so childish in retrospect. Dr. Cavanaugh glanced at hint obliquely under.. cover of applying a match t a fresh cigar. The child who destroys his toys -and afterwards cries to have them restored to him, The worst thing that could'have hap. pened to the "millionaire baby" was that they always had been restored, or replaced. "Were you angry with Mrs. Elis. worth for leaving -or with Mrs. Kane for breaking the news to you, let us say,,untactfully?" I don't know -both, I guess," Don floundered, "To tell .the truth, 'I thought she might have done it just to create a stir. She loved to be the center of a sensation -it had been her life for so long. It might have been a sudden impulse, the idea that she could plague me into Making a sewed for her, and then show up, laughing- with some fresh newspaper clippings to add to her collection. I wouldn't even be surprised if this Kane woman knew a good deal more than she is telling to lime or to anyone!" CHAPTER III. "You must remember that your dis- trust of Mrs, Kane may be founded en nothing more objective than Van, per. sonal dislike of her," the doctor sug- gested. "You are not particularly given to discounting your judgments in the light of your emotions, are you?». Don accepted the mildly voiced eriti. cism with sulky dignity, "I should hardly say that my wife's personal maid was'`ithportaiit enough. for personal dislike, he•said: "She may •be very important indeed, for all we know. .At any rte, if her object was to rouse you to a display of wrath, she evidently succeeded. Can you recall exactly what you said?;- I don't mean: to lee •heed on you -your reaction was doubtless quite normal." This time, the docter's stnile was de- finite, eves genial. ;'Whatever it was I've in all probability heard a good many worse things, And I don't reg ;,aid it as my job to•indulgein moral judgment on my fellows, The most I'm Jilt •ly to say to you is 'that you were unwise," "Well -I -I finally told her I didn't know and didn't give a:damn! She' tm`ried her back "at d left -and rho next thing I, knew the police were ringing the front doorbell and asking impertinent 'questions. I' told them as little at I,. could." There was a certain 'satisfaction under Don's harassment. • "And 'id you?" the doctor asked, Don looked up horn a moody eon- templation of his shoe. "Did 8 what?!' "Give;a, damn?" The young man leaped to his feet, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. "Look ,here, you can't-" he began ohokingiy Dr. Cavanaugh did not move a mus- cle from his relaxedposition in the big chair. "Never mind," he said quietly, "I apologize, It was your own statement, You know. Now what, preaise]y, do You want me to do in the matter?" "Iwwant you to got me out of it with a minimum of publicity. Every- thing I've ever done -and it hasn't been much -has been razzed by the papers. If I got lit after a football game at college, or took a chorus girl to dinner, it was spread all ever the country, I can't stand any more of it. I can't, and 1 won't. Just because I happen to have money, my wife can't even leave me without their getting out extras about it" (To he continued.)
