"Don't worry," she said with a sweetness that went to Mrs. Gordon's heart. "I'm sure she's safe—isn't there anybody you can think of—she might know?" The poor woman forgot herself en- tirely. "If our phone wasn't out of order -I'd call up Richard Morgan,- she organ—she might be there, she--" she stp- ped short, catching herself. Helena's long eyes glimmered un- der their heavy sills. So, she thought, there is something in it! She thoufltt ' she knew it all now. The mystery of Polestar's condition — discovered late the night before -had been explained just before she left the house. Henry had confessed to Kingdon Haddone He had also told where Morgan went. Amanda came to the door, `Mist' Page Roomer's outside, m'm. He'd like ter see Mis' Haddon." Helena leaned over and deliberately kissed iIrs. Gordon. "He's going with me. We'll find her. Don't be fright- ened," she, said. "I know where she is, dear boy; „ she said softly to Page. "I've just found out—we'll go and get her. She can't walk home through this mire." Page knew nothing and divined no- thing beyond his own mad anxiety. He knew that the niad infatuation of his own passion, his • blind belief in Nancy's love for hint, had led to this. Nancy had gone out into the storm to escape him. He hated Morgain again, hated him with all his soul, because Morgan had done what he could not do. But he followed Helena into her car. If she knew where Nancy was, he would find her and—if he found her—he would make her forgive him.

A needle will sometimes be left in a garment which is undergoing repairs and in that event it may be broken off in the body of the person who puts on the garment. No matter how it happens, there is no cause for alarm because there is little or no danger associated with t he accident. There are a few things not to do, and these include all efforts at squeez- ing and such procedures with the vain hope of getting the piece of needle out. This' only makes matters worse.
