R. WILMOT SYNOPSIS. At a London dance club Molly Car- stairs meets Roger Barling, .who prom- ises to get her a Job. The following morning she is stopped by a. policeman who shows her a clipping whieh declares that Molly Carstairs is missing from ber home. At the /police sto,lion Molly is identill,ed by a Xr. and Mrs. Silver as their missing niece and is taken home where she is treated with ltinortess, but realizes that she is a prisoner. That night she meets several people and Is /puzzled at the various types. She dis- covers a gambling den at the back of the house. The Silvers next tell Molly that Major Carstairs, her father, is on his way home from India. CHAPTER ELEVEN. Molly Carstairs was not formally given to hysterics. So far 'there had been no emergency in her life in which she had found herself completely los- ing her head, and since the deaths of her parents she liad learned a good deal in the hard, exacting schod of experience. She had learned how to fight for herself; she knew what it felt like to be utterly and completely lone- ly; to be a unit among millions heed- less ef that -unit's existence. Thus when IVIolly learned that she was to meet her "father," she realized almost immediately that the Silvers were, in some -way, implicated, and that she had been secured to play a part for there. She had asked the Silvers to leave he • alone to think, and they had res- pected 'her wish. Sitting beside the fire, it was patent to Molly that the decoy affair of their gambling house must temporarily at least be ruled out. This other matter was infinitely more serious. It was one thing mak- ing oneself attractive to young men with more money than sense and quite another actually defrauding an old man—she imagined that Major Carstairs could not be regarded as being young—into the belief that she was the daughter he had left in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Silver nearly itwenty years ago when the mother had died and she was old enough to travel bails to England. There were many angles to the problem. which faced her and the more the girl thought about it, the more she wished she had someone with whom she could talk it over. It meant that she had to reach a decision un- aided, relyinig, entirely on her own judgment which, while she might have been willing enough to trust it on ether occasions, tbe present was one Devshich egret -clearneepended. The Silvers had, so far, given her very little material information about her supposed self, but one thing struck her as being vital. If Major Oar - stairs had left a child in the charge efe Silvers, then what had happened to that child? It was a Debt that golly considered she ought to clear ap, but how? She felt that the Sil- vers themselves would be appropri- ately dumb on the subject, and she edroired their astuteness in pretend- ing that she was suffering from a lost memory. That lost memory saved a great many awkward question% being an- swered. It meant that the question and answer method of obtaining in- forrnlition irrevocably broke down. It meant too that the Silvers could shelter behind it indefinitely, because they knew that she—Molly Carstairs —not being the Molly Carstairs, daughter of Major Carstairs, dare not -retract without laying herself open to, at least, some part of the decep- tion they were going at great lengths to maintain. On the other hand there was another angle to the problem. It was an angle that was perpetually. projecting itself into her consciousness. It was possible that there indeed had been a Molly Carstairs in this house recently; that a Molly Carstairs had indeed lost her memory; that the Molly Carstairs who bad so mysteriously vanished with a deficient memory was so like herself that the Silvers had been genuinely mistaken in her identity. The more Molly thought about this, the more hopeless her task seemed to become. This latter, however, she told herself was altogether toe ooincidental to be true. It might have happened in fic- tion, but in real life one did not en- counter such a series of coincidences. Besides, there was that photograph which had announced her disappear- ance. Molly was perfectly certain that that picture, at least, was her own, and in that event it was likely that the Sil- vers would risk sending that photo- graph for publication unless they were certain that there was only one Molly Carstairs who could possibly be appre- • allowance contieued.

That., to Molly's mind, elinenee the factAhat the Silvers were crooked; that they had known tba Major Car- stairs was on his way home and that, in desperation, they had bit upon this plot to obtain a daughter to present to Cairstairs and pees her off as his own. It was an incredibly audacious Plot, but then Molly felt that the Silvers -- mai . and wife—were an audacious pair, as, indeed ,of course, they were, and Molly would have been pleasantly surprised had she known to what pains Paul Silver had gone to secure her ap- prehension at the hands of that wide- awake constable at Chelsea. He had realized that with Carstairs on his way home from India, there was nothing to be done but to find a daughter for him, seeing that his rightful child had run away from them eight years ago and that they had not set eyes on her since. But Paul Silver was phenomenally lucky. He had chanced to be at Elstree one day with a friend and they were looking through an album of photographs- sent in by girls who felt that the only qualifica- tion for elm work was a pretty face, and in that album he had been im- pressed by the fact that one photo- graph bore the name of "Molly Car- stairs." It had not been the photograph, so much as the name that had jolted him out of his momentary complacency and, at first, he had thought he was on the track of the girl who had run away some years before. But a study of that photograph convinced him that its original was not Major Carstair's daughter. .Nevertheless Paul Silver had sought permission to take that photograph away with him on the plea that the face had attracted him and that, if the girl were really in need of a job he thought that he might be able to do something for her. His friend had ;winked slyly at Silver as the latter had put the photograph away in his pocket book. From the starting -point of the photo- graph and its accompanying address Silver began to make discreet but thorough inquiries. He made these inquiries in person, but he was always careful to see that he was never seen himself by Miss Carstairs. In this way he picked up a great deal about Molly and haerbee satisfied himself that she had no relative in England and that circumstances had latterly cast her out friendless into the world as represent- ed by -London, he felt that the stage was set for his big gamble. If it came off he was saved, If it went awayhe could always scuttle to the Continent or perhaps to America be- fore the arrival of the ship at Tilbury which carried Major Aldous Carstairs home to his long -absented daughter. But if it could- possibly be avoided Paul Silver did not want to deeamp. For one thing it was futile decamp- ing unless one could take with one adequate funds, and while he was not altogether a poor man, such decamp- ment entailed the possession of suf- ficient funds if one was not to be compelled to begin working all over again, Thusit was that Molly had been drawn into the web so cunning- ly spun by Paul Silver and so neatly sung by his wife. Everything had worked according to plan. The idea of the lost memory was essential to its success for Silver felt that so long as he could work that ruse success- fully the chances of losing bis vie - tins were indeed remote. Come what pay, the girl must be impress- ed with the idea that she could not remember the past. Of course, it was fraught with grave risk, and it was for that reason Sil- ver had to take precautions to see that the girl did not leave "Lawn House" unaccompanied. The only fly In the Silver ointment was the letter he had found at the girl's lodgings in Chelsea from Roger Barling.

Altar .•••••••••••••••• Excavation of Ara Pacis Urg- ed to Mark 2,000th Birth- day of Augustus Rome is now planning to celebrate the 2,000th anniversary of the Em- peror Augustues birth in a fitting manner. It has been decided that there will be an exhibition of Rornan archeology, including the tomb of Augustus. This tomb is now used as a concert auditorium and is known as the Auguste°. The famed peace altar erected by the .Roman Senate after Augustus's campaign in Gaul and Spain,Ara Pacis, may be recon- stred. Theexhibition will demonstrate the. lic extensiveness of the Roman Empire in the days of Augustus. The second plan, that of isolating the circular tomb, is practicable, as all that is needed is to demolish the intervening blocks of houses and stores. However, the third project, that of reconstruct- ing the Ara Peels. isnot so easy. The ancient altar and' part of the proces- sional wall of marble still lie buried under a modern palace, where excava- tion is difficult. Archaeologists have for years dis- cussed the possibility of reconstruct- ing the Altar of Peace. While there are still many difficulties, it night be - possible to reconstruct it, using marble facsimiles of those sections of the richly sculptured bas-relief, as many ofthe sections are in museums abroad. One of the difficulties which, owing to political changes, no longer exists, was that .some of the most important fragments were held by the Vatican Museum. But now the Pope has agreed that if the work of reconstruc- tion is really begun he will allow those sections, now in his possession, to be added to those now held in Italy. This is not -the case with the frag- emente. in. the dta.u.vee. 1-191weyer„ the Preneligoverniment AS:, agreto ellow perfect reproductions to be made and four years ago the German Archaeo- logical, School in Rome made an offer to the Italian government not only to undertake the work of reconstruc- tion but also to finance the excavations under the Teano Palace. The govern- ment refused this offer, and neither the reconstruction nor the excava- eions have been undertaken. There are in Italy the fragments in the Urfizi Palace, in Florence, some in the French Academy, at Villa Medici, in Rome, and the very im- portant fragments belonging to the Pope, in Vatican City. That further remains lie under the Teano Palace is evidenced by a letter written in 1859 by the architect to Prince Teano. He identified the exact spot where certain section's still lie. Soundings were made at that time with a special rod, and it was discov- veraetded,at much remained to be ma - Before the excavations are resumed, a governmental commission will ex- amine the fragments and also have soundings made in order, to reach a final decisions as to the possibility of removing the altar and what methods will be required in order to safeguard the palace. Only then can one be cer- tain whether the Ara Pacis can be re- constructed with its original pieces.
