From Harry Wilson whom she meets by chance she borrows a ring to wear as an engagement ring. Nancy, who has recently' broken ,her .engagement, is much interested. in the ring, and wants to see •the man, When Peggy los- es the ring, Maxine asks a friend, a "detective," she says; to help find it, 'and decides to tell her• grandmother that the ring was Nancy's. • . �_. Nancy stood still a moment think- ing. • "Oh, all right," she said finally. "Only I still,don't approve of having that detective come. I just know he is going to get us .all in a lot of trou- ble. How did, he happen to be' here and 'know about you?" she asked, turning to Maxine. "He works'4,at the studio in Rolly- wood and he is driving to New York. While he was in Chicago he talked to the West Coast studios and they told him that a was stopping here for a little visit. before I went on East, so he came down here just to make sure • that there hard been no change in my plan's. "He did!n't • think I would arrive un- til tomorrow, but 'tonight he heard someone in the hotel say he had seen me today, . so he called right away. Be wanted to see • me anyway, so when Peggy 'suggested having him come out to look for the ring, he e• id all right. And he is coming out in the morning. I think maybe I bad better explain .it to -Gran, so you all can be a few minutes late for. break- fast. I think it would be best for Gr, n to ask me most of her ques- tions, Peggy would probably get all mixed up." Maxine had already made her ex- planations the next morning -When, the two girls reached' the dining room. Mrs. Horton looked up at them as they 'entered. "My dear," she said, addressing Nancy. "I feel so •badle to hear that your engagement ring has been mis- placed while on a visit to us. I do trust that this. young . man -Newton' did you say leis name was, Maxine? -will be able to find it quickly for you. Maxine'assures me he is'among the best in this line 'in California. e you thoufht back carefully ov- er your- actions since you 'last saw your ring, Nancy?" "Ole yes, Mrs. Horton, quite care- fully." • "You do seem to' take ,the matter very sensibly, I am sure. Peggy looks more as if she bad not slept than you do." It was true that Peggy had not there," Maxine follo)ved William to the front door while Mrs. Horton and the two gilds crossed the hall and enter- ed the front ''parlor. Peggy was sur- prised that her grandmother had chosen this place to -receive a detec- tive. It was here that Gran usually greeted her more important guests. The old lady settled' herself in a high backed chair 'with her back • to the window, her tiny feet placed daintily side by side on an ottoman;. •the covering of which had been wov- en by her mother -sin -law. When Mrs. Horton sat in that big chair with her feet on the ottoman 'she was like some little powerful judge who pass- ed sentence, on those who were brought 'before 'him. Peggy und'er- stood that now. Her grandmother wan- going to judge this Mr. Newton whom Maxine . Was recommending. Peggy 'had not. thought pf .judging a detective, except by his speed in tak- ing over the job and'frnding the ring. She smiled to herself as she thought of some big Irishman - weren't all detectives Irish, or did that only, apply to city cops? -com- ing into this room of her ancestors and being --judged by Gran. She remembered a detective she had seen in one of M.axine's pictures. He was a large fat man who wore a derby hat on the 'back of his head, and who seemed always to have a. long cigar stuck in the corner of 'his mouth. Suppose that was the roan she could hear Maxine talking to now in the hall. Could Maxine really know some- one like that? If a fat man with a derby on the back of his head and a cigar in the corner of his mouth en• tered this 'room .he might just as well give up all thought of his helping her find the ring. Gran would get rid' of him without giving •him a chance, she was pure. - "Oh, I hope he won't be too, bad," ,she prayed fervently as she heard footsteps crossingethe hall. She shut her eyes, waiting' to hear how Gran greeted. him before she looked to .see what he was like.' "Gran," Maxine was saying, "this is Stanley Newton, a friend' of mine from California. My grandmother, Mrs. Horton, Stanley." "I am delighted to meet you, Mr. Newton," Gran sounded as if she real- ly 'meant it, and the muscles around Peggy's tightly closed eyes began, to relax. "I can't tell you-" Peggy didn't hear any more. Her eyes were open now. Wide open. She knew that voice. A•e wasn't fat, he wasn't wear- ing a 'derby, and he .did not have a cigar in his mouth. Mr. Newton was the Man California. So that was what a real.detective was like. "And my sister, Miss Margaret Hor- ton," Maxine' was saying, after she had introduced him to Nancy. Peggy had been starieling fn'.the shadows . of the room and ;he evidently had not seen her until -Maxine spoke. Recog- nizing her now he started eagerly forward. "How do you do?" was her chilly "Well, putting It in another way," Gran began again, "which de. Liteotive method do you use?" slept well. She had been out of bred several times to look again among the clothes she had worn to.the train. Could it be possible that she had dropped it on the old wooden plat- form of the •station when she went to put it into her bag? Or had it just dropped i,n plain sight of anyone who might come along and pick it up? But she remembered so well put- ting it Into the bag and closing it. What on earth was she going to say to Harry next Wednesday .if she had not. found it by then? So her mind, had raced throughout the night. No wonder Gran thought she looked as if •she had not slept. "Of course I am worried, Gran. To have Nancy ]rise such a gorgeous ring here!" Her grandmother smiled at her. "But, my dear, rings• cannot run a- way.' And we know that there is no one here who would have -taken it, so that leaves it simply mligplaced. I feel astir that Mr. Newton will be able to suggest the place where it ,must be. -0h, that must be he. I hear an) nutoinobile. We will go In- to the font parlor and.. see him greeting. . He stopped abruptly. "How dd9 you do," he answered with no inflection. "Is the man crazy?" Peggy thought. "Imagine Gran's expression if I had rushed forward and we had shaken hands. Nice explanation, We had talked twice without either of us knowing who the other one was. Yes, that would have gone over• big..I can see where .be and Gran will not get• along at all." But on the contrary he and Gran seemed to be getting along famously. She had been watching Mr. Newton closely, and new smiled at him. ---one of Gran's nicest smiles -and he smil- ed back, and Peggy felt sure it was one of this very best, also. ' "You won't think hie presum.ptu- ous, will you, Mr. Newton," Gran be- gan, "if I ask you which you consider the greatest=Sherlock Holmes, Philo Vance or Hercule Poirot?" Mr. Newton drew his chair a little Closer. to the high backed one that Held his hostess and leaned forward with enthusiasm. "Fresno tueuc?__Let'ould say net, but you see that is something I would • much rather discuss with you than just answer_ right off. Aa I see it Sherlock Holmes had-" But Peggy lost track of the conversation as - she turned a puzzled face to Maxine, who shrugged her shoulders and looked blank. What on earth were they talk - leg about? Of course she had heard of Sherlock Holmes, but what •had he to do with these other two men? And what did. Gran know about d•etectiveee'7-' Peggy felt sure she had never seen one before. "Well, putting it in another way," Gran began again,'"which detective method do you use?" "To tell you the truth, I rather.com- bine a little of each of them and from that make my owe method. I find I get the best results that way." Mrs. Horton nodded slowly. "Yes," she agreed. "I see how that might be done. Now in this case, of course, all you have to • go on 'is 'that Miss Sawyer -•arrived here with the ring in her possession and last night whe she -went to put it ..on it had disap- peared." "T'he servants?" the detective began quickly, 'but Gran raised her small hand peremptorily. "To doubt the servants, Mr. New- ton, is' out of the question." "Se that is that," the agreed'. "You are quite sure you e had the ring with you?" he •continued, turning to Nancy. Peggy was feeling very uncomfortable both for herself add for Nancy, but the latter merely shrugged her shoulders. "Of course I had' it. And now no one can find it," she 'replied indiffer- ently. He looked' at her in silence 'for a moment. "You make it sound like `Thimble, thimble, who's got the thim- ble,'" he told her. "Now I shall use my own method," he explained to Mrs. Horton. "Miss Sawyer lost her ring, but the first person. I should like to question is Miss Margaret." Just as you think best," Gran agreed; r'iaink- quickly, turning to Maxine and Nancy. "Come, 'girls. We shall wait on the hack terrace for your next move." "Can't 'we- go outside some place' to talk?" he asked Peggy when the oth- ers had disappeared down the hall. She glanced •through the parlor win- dows• at the rose garden. "We might go out -there," she sug- gested. ;' - Leaving the housequietly they went dawn the front steps and 'turn ea the corner of 'the house and en- tered the garden. "Whew," he breathed, in relief, tak- ing his cigarette case from hips pock- et and offering it to Peggy, who shook her head. "May I?" he asked. "When she nodded her assent, he stopped for a moment'to light his cigarette while she continued up the walk towards the summer house. • "Your friend Nancy- is a helpfullittle soul, isn't she?" he •asked, joining her. "What is ,it you wished to ask the?" Peggy asked him without replying to his 'question about Nancy. He laughed. "To tell you the truth I don't, knew. I only knew I wanted to talk to •you and thalte seemed the best way to do it. Things have come so fast and furiously that I aft all befuddled. Last night when Maxine said her sister had lost her,,,ring and for me to come out and help find it. it seemed all right. Of course, I didn't know then that her sister was you. And I didn't know that• you were engaged'. And now- to be per- fectly erfectly honest I 'don't give a hoot about finding your engagement ring. Couldn't we just forget that and talk about ourselves for a while?" "Certainly not," Peggy said igdig- nantly, stepping into the summer house. "I shall answer any questions you care to ask about the ring, hut, that is° all." "I suppose you're right," he sighed, seating himself beside her. "Take one thing at a time. Well, let's hur- ry and get it over. Now let's see, a ring is lost. By the way, what kind of a ring is it?" "An engagement ring." "Yes, so I have been told, but you needn't rub it in. What's all this big idea anyway about so much secrecy? If it's your engagement ring why pre- tend to your grandmother it's Miss Nancy's ?" "We can go into that some other time," Peggy told him. coldly, (Continued Next Week) Nothing but the Infinite Pity is suf- ficient,,,for the Infinite Pathos of Life. -Shorthouse. - Daily occupations are, as it were, the- been that keeps the garment from unravelling. -Cory.
