So she pretends to Nancy, a visiting schoolmate, that she is engaged. From Harry Wilson Whom she meets ,by chance, she borrows a ring to wear asan en- gagement ring. Nancy, who has recently broken her engagement to Pidge, is much interested in Pegg's ring. When Peggy loses it, Maxine tells her grandmother the ring was Nancy's and asks a friend, Stanley Newton, who. she says is a detective, to help find it. Gran likes Stanley and dis- cusses the loss with him. "Well, that's a help. At least it holds out a promise for another time. Don't worry. I won't forget," he as- sured her. Of course all this was no way for a detective to find anything, and she should ,be angry, but Peggy realized that she • was not meeting his eye because she knew she would laugh with him if she did. And she knew that would never do. "Having progressed so rapidly, sup- pose you describe the aforemention- ed ring:" ,s9He took an envelope and a pencil from this pocket and. sat,'for- ward evidently prepared to write. "It's a 'big diamond - a square cut one," "Oh, I see, a'nice juicy square cut solitaire." "Yes, No -- wait a minute. It There were it -sapphires. were several wasn't just a solitaire. some other, stones with Yes, I remember there sapphires." 11e looked at her in surprise. "Are you by any chance describing your cwn, engagemeirt ring? Or is this something you say one day as you passed a jeweler's window?" Peggy did feel foolish. "Don't be ridiculous. I am so upset and wor- ried I can scarcely think." "Oh, I'm sorry. All right, then, we have it a square cut diamond with some sapphires. How many sap- phires?" "I don't know." 'His only reply was a slight raising of his eyebrows which Peggy saw, be- neath half -lowered lids. "Were they in any kind of a de- sign or -just there?" '. "Heavens! I don't, know. You find.- any square' cut diamond ring with some sapphires in it, and I as- sure you that will be the ring." Peg- gy had jumped -to her feet angrily, and was standing at the entrance .o the summer house with her back to him. She heard the rustling of paper as P.M. 2.30 2.48 3.00 3.212 3.23 3.29 3.41 C.P.R.

But just as she spoke she realized a man had suddenly appeared in the opening in the side of the hedge. "Hairy!" she cried aghast. -- At the sight of the two figures in the summer house Hlarry had retreat- ed from view. Stanley Newton start= ed forward but she laid a restraining hand on his arm, and he turned back. "Who is her, he asked, a puzzled expression on his face. "Could he be the thief?" "Heavens, -no!" At her tone, he turned to her•quick- ly. "You don't mean that he is the man to whom you are engaged?" Peggy remained silent. "Well, now, isn't that just dandy! This beloved fiance who is to be out of town for another week suddenly, appears from behind 'a hedge and at the sight of me beats it. And as for you, instead of rushing to the arm of your lover, you utter a ,terrified squeal of 'Harry' and look as if you were going to faint. Now I ask you, is that any way .for a loving couple to act? Shall I leave? It that is what is embarrasing you-" "Oh, no, don't," Peggy pleaded. If she were left alone Harry might come back. Then what would she say? Stanley threw his hands in the air. "it is too much for me," he announc- ed . walking back in the summer house. "You simply have no imagination," Peggy told him. "In spite of all your theories. My -engagement to him is broken and he is coming back for his ring. Naturally she doesn't want to ask for it before strangers, and na- turally I don't want to see him until I have the ring to give him. Now Oo you see?" There was enough truth in this statement to make Peggy feel almost straight forward. "Do I see?" Stanley cried. Catch- ing her in his arms, he whirled her madly about the small enclosure. "Oh boy, do I? Now we can sit down and talk about ourselves, can't we? Cer- tainly we can." Suddenly he releas- ed her. "No," she shook 'her head breat'i lessly. "That's just what we Can't do. . Don't you` see how important it is to find the ring now -right away?" "Lord, that's right. I had forgot- ten all about the ring. Haven't you any idea where the darn' thing could be? Where did you have it hidden?" "I didn't have it hidden. 1 had :t on at the train -yesterday, but I took it off there and put it in my hag. Both Maxine and Nancy remember.. that. Last night when I went to get it, it was gone. Really, that's all I know about it. Really, that's every bit ,of it," Stanley was looking at her, a hope - "Do 1 see?" Stanley cried. Catching her in his arms he whirled her madly s.bout the small enclosure. can find the ring this afternoon?" Peggy jumped to her feet with het• eyes shining. ' -Have you any idea where it is? Where will you look?" He e shook his head at her reprov- ingly. "Don't ask questions. Dod't you remember I told your grandmo- ther I had my own method?" William's small grandson appeared at the entrance before she could an- swer. "Dey's done rang de gong for di'i- ner long time ago," he announced. "Mis' Ma'y said for me to come find yo' all. Ah'se been all ar;oun'. "Why are you sure?" Peggy asked in surprise. "We didn't hear any gong." "No'm•, Ah reckon not. But It's done rang. An' yo' can sho' hear dat gong when dey rings it, way off. Ef yo' mine ain't wand'rin'." Stanley chuckled and threw the boy a •piece of silver that made the little rkey's face shine like polished eb- ony. Peggy ran through the path of the rose garden with,, Stanley close behind her. The others were still on the back terrace waiting 'for them. "I'm sorry," • they both began breathlessly. "Peggy must have Maxine said, with smdle. , "She did," eStanley assured her. "I found out a number of things that encourage me immensely." "Oh," said Mrs. Hort-on, in satis- faction that her grand -daughter had been of some help. . "Oh!" queried Maxine, in a toile that implied "Now what?" "Oh!" came Nancy's startled tone, arid - "Oh!" exclaimed Peggy. While they were at the table 1VIrs. Horton suggested that she thought it would be much better if Mr. Newton would remain at the house while he was looking for the ring. "I'll have William drive into town this afternoon and get your bags, if that arrangement suits you," she sug- gested to her guest. "You are most kind, Mrs. Horton. 1 can't tell you ,what it would mean: to me to stay here for a day or two. I believe, however, it would be bet- ter for me to go into town and get my things myself. I am afraid I have things pretty _much scattered about my room, and as I have my care it won't take,- me long. I shall be back very shortly." Maxine and Peggy had exchanged• surprised glances at Mrs. Horton's-in- vitation to Stanley. Gran was al- ways hospitable, but she did not ask people to visit in her home unless she genuinely liked them, and corint-, ed them, her friends. "What do you want to do this af- ternoon, Nancy" Peggy asked guilt- ily. She had forgotten .all about hav- ing• a guest whom she must keep • ea- tertained. "Shall we go for a drive?" "No," Nancy replied. ."To tell you the truth, Pidge is coming." "Pidge?" Mrs. Horton asked:" "Yes, that's the man I am going to marry." "Well, it seems tome that we must all get busy and find your ring. We can't have you meeting your fiance without your ring. Don't stay long in town, will you, Mr. Newton?" "No," he assured her. "I'11 be back in a very short time." Maxine and Peggy exchanged wor- ried glances, and Nancy merely smil- e's. "Oh, Nancy, 1 think that is splen- did," Peggy cried as they' left the table. "That you all have made up. Did he ca11 -You this morning while I was out?", "You'll learn all about it this af- ternoon when he comes," Nancy as- sured her. "I think I'll go upstai.•s and dress. I don't know just when he'll come. You don't mind, do you?" "Why, of course nirt. Do whatever you like," Peggy told her. Maxine followed Peggy on to ttie terrace, while Gran went upstairs for a little rest. Stanley had already driven off to town. "I wish we could have found that ring before this,, Pidge person comes. He will arrive bringing Nancy her ring, and how will we look then? I think Nancy only told him to come today to put you on the spot." (Continued Next Week) he stuffed the envelope back in his pocket. Itjust doesn't make sense," he an tneed, joining her. "If I gave a girl a ring like thatand she couldn't describe it any more clearly than you iha're I'd know darn well she didn't care anything about me." "Have -you been engaged and mar- ried frequently, Mr. Newton?" "I? Oh, no. • I know I'm funny that way. I've always felt that I pn- ly wanted to propose to one r:rri, and that would be the girt, I was darn' sure I Wanted to marry." "And you haven't found the girl, in spite of knowing so well how she would be affected by the ring?" "Yes, I'm pretty sure that I've found the girl," he replied thought- fully. "I was getting a little low it the •prospect of marriage, but my hopes are getting higher. It may all come out all right after all." There was a low whistle on the other side of the hedge which neither of them heard. "But I don't like looking for any- thing so indefinite as this ring as you describe it. Penbaps it would be bet- ter to ask the young man. Probably he could tell me more about it." Peggy was conscious that Stanley was watching her closely. "Unfor- tunately, be is out of tOwn," she re- plied casually: "When will he be back?" told you a lot," a mischievous Presents When thou malteet presents, let them be such things as will last Long;, to the .end they may be in some sort immlortal, and may frextuently refresh the memory of the receiver. -Fuller.

"Woman, I certainly am ,tak- ing you on faith. You either greet your guest and your sister wearing an engagement ring after you, have broken your engagement, which, my dear, just isn't done. Or you greet them properly engaged, then through a :process of mental telepathy -Max- ine says he hasn't been around and you say he is out of town -you break the engagement. And that, my dear, just can't be done. But you don't look queer," he added judiciously, "You look plain grand. I knew that yesterday when I met you on the road and I knew it again when I met you in town and I knew-" He' paused., Then his face sudden- ly brightened. "You promise that once you have the ring you'll give it back to him:?" Peggy nodded quickly. "You're sure you won't let him talk you. into reconsidering the engage- ment?" Peggy shook her head vigorously. "Of course I can't imagine any man ever taking no for an answer after you have once said yes, but I'll have to trust you.
