SYNOPSIS.
Lucile Green, charming, but with fads,
ts visited at the Greens' summw Wand
home by Monty Blalney. She proposes •
week's fast All food Is banished.
Frank Bopp, a rival suitor, appear* un
expectedly. To pet food for himself b*
attempts the mainland by motorboat.
The boat break* down and Bopp 1ft CO*
rooned. During a fierce storm Mr*. Ore*0
faints and is revived by m stimulant
which Intoxicates her.
Blalney discovers Luelle and Bopp nlb»
bllng dog1 biscuits. He propoaea t» end
the fast, but there la no food, lln Green
suddenly disappears, and all bunt foe her.
I lit the light—acetylene gag.
The wreckage of that kitchen vu
beyond the descriptive p**vera of a 5
mere dramatic critic. Bopp lay sprawl
ed on tho kitchen floor near the table
where he had struck when I threw
him. The table itself had overturned
on to the week's supply of water la
glass bottles and had apparently bro
ken most of them. Lucile was stand
lug, pale und disheveled, but atill '
beautiful. In the doorway of the pantry
where she bad been hiding.
After an Interval Bopp laborlotuty 1
picked himself up and waded toward
the stairway through the torrent at
distilled water which waj streaming
across the floor.
"There's your dog biscuit," he sneer- I
ed, pointing to Tootles, who had die- 1
covered the box and was gulping down
the contents as fast as she could.
"Fasting for a week! Ha-ha!"
Then he disappeared upstaira.
I turned to Lucile. She had dropped
Into a chair and had buried her face In
ber hands. She was crying.
"What's the matter, Lucile?" I asked
tenderly.
"I don't know," she sobbed; "Joat
nerves, I guess."
"You ought not to be about at thia j
time of night," I said sternly.
"I know," she replied. "I Just came
iown to—to feed Tootles."
I would have believed her If I had
not seen the biscuit In her tpoaih.
But what man would not forgive A
small lib on the part of the womaA
he loves?
("Listen to me, Lucile, dear," I said
authoritatively, taking her hand. "We ?
_ I are not going to fast any mora. If
your father were here he would call a
halt Here your mother Is aick, yoc
ire hysterical, and hardly any of na If
on speaking terms with the others.
Besides, we have got to stop. Our 1
water supply is gone."
Lucile looked up. "Then It won't
really be our fault, will It?" she asked j
hopefully. "If we haven't pure water
we cnu't go on fasting. Lipcoo 8.
Clair says so."
"And that's the best thing he ever
said, too," I agreed heartily.
So it was decided that the next day
we'd have a new stock of groceries
come on the supply boat and telephece
tli? cook to come back. I think tbe
prospect cheered us wonderfully. 1
know I felt better immediately, and I
persuaded Lucile to go back to bed
aud get some rest before daylight
She went in to see how her mother
was before retiring. There was a erf
1 from Mrs. Green's room, and I rob
ed in.
Mrs. Gbeex had dirappeabii) t
1'ou have guessed correctly that this
is where the element of mystery en
ters the story. You doubtless wonder,
1 as we did, if Kent, the wire tapper,
. had made away with Mrs. Green or if
Bopp, balked of his dog biscuit, had
become a villain of the deepest dye;
> We did not come to any such conclu
c slons at first, of course. That waa
after we had looked all over the hooee,
up in the attic aud down in the cellar.
' Then I went to Kent's room. He waa
•snoring peacefully. I mistrusted tl)at
he might be shamming and poured a
pitcher of water on him to see how be
would react to tbe shock. I should
say that bis reactions were perfectly
normal, albeit somewhat picturesque*
ly abusive.
Next we haled Bopp from his room.
He was lncllntd to be suspicion! at
first until we told him about Mi*.
Green's disappearance; then be WM
all sympathy and Joined our tightly
clad searching party In th* hallway.
Naturally, Lucile feared the wortt,
while the rest of us with ibasculfne
optimism discounted any danger which
might befall the old lady.
"But she wasn't herself," waQed la
dle. "She's been acting funny aH the
evening." ~
"Never mind about her," comforted
Kent "A man with a Jag can fall off
the roof and never hurt himself a bit
A bit of a bun makes anybody lucky."
"Suppose she is out ih all this rain?"
"A little water, more or less, woe't
make any difference to her after the
last two days," I observed gloomily.
"Let's not stand here any longer,"
said Bopp In businesslike fashion. "It
won't do much good to try to ?uMs
where she is. Let's begin a systematic
■ himt" I

OrtK," I Iraggttstai
"Ati right," in chorus.

with tba usual celerity of the blfurcab
084,#x» were ready aa soon as she wai.
Aa a000 «■ we had assembled la the
living room one* mora Bopp, by r#a
aoa of hla superior nerre, elected him
self commander of the expedition.
"Monty," he directed, "yon take Jesse
James with yon and expiore the north
half of the laland. Luclle and I will
search the aouthern portion. Aa soon
a* either party discovers Mrs. Green
ectaa bttttotfid house nnd Are off
th* revolvtr." He toM a large caliber
*lx shooter on the table.
I nright bare disputed bis arranafc
«»nt and calm npproprlatlon of Lu
clle'a aoctety, but I Judged that It
would b» a poor time to argue about
uwthlng so purely social. Besides, I
flguroj out that the man who was
with Ltrtile wns goto* to have bo cinch
reassuring bet that her mother had not
met with some terrible taking off. So
they went one way, arxl we departed
the other, everybody sloehlng lnternai
ly and externally on account of the
large amount of dktilled water and
rain.
"£tow are we going to hunt this Bklrt
anyway? demanded Kent after we
trodgad northward far a fewmo
IMQtS- -v;.
"Juat hunt," 1 replied vaguely, too
busy with my thoughts to consider tha
«Oe»tion mfibutfy.
"This ain't regular," ohjocted Kent,
slacking up his pace. "We ought to
trail the old dame by her footprint*.
Pld you notice any footprints around
the hoaser
"Xo. I dltfat think to loot"
'Wall, let's fco back and have a
peek."
As that detocfclea with the methods
of (reasoning adopted by the detectives
la tho beat altera, I agreed, and we
retraced our footsteps to the house.
"You seem to know a good deal
•boot defective methods," I said, with
mock admiration.
"Teh," be responded aerioasly; "I
<*J#ht to. Tve been chased by some of
b«K detective* in New York."
Tfcen ha added proudly, "I had Bums
after toe oape."
"Under Her window 1s the first place
alald Kent alive with inter
est now to the scheme. "Where did
aha sleopf
I picked oat tbe window of Mrs.
Qreto's room, and we carefully search
ed the wet ground underneath by light
Ing matehea.
"Isn't it more probable that aha
Would come out hy the door?" 1 sug
^•ated. "Bho c«Hd never climb from
that aacon« ttory window."
"Sura aha Amid," be asserted. "See
that rain pipe bete? ?t goes alongside
her window. A lady like her could
thin njk and down that like a mouse."
Someway the picture of my future
mother-in-law (I hopad) frisking up
and down a narrow water pipo was
beyond my imagination.
"Look here!" oxctabned ray compan
ion, pointing to the ground to front of
him. "Is that or la it not the print rf
a Mj'n ahoet"
Ilookad. Thfere was wrtatoly a
footprint ttiere, and was small and
narrow.
"It's freah toa You can ten by the
and that It's been made slnca the
haavy rain. Old footprints would hare
been washed out anyhow."
This wns sore enough reasoning.
Kent started to Walk to the direction
that the footprints led, and I followed.
All at onca Kent stopped and lit *ev
aral matches all in one place.
**I think Fva solved the mystery,"
be said, bending ever the mpd. "But
it looks bad for the doll There's a
f°y following her. Look at these
marks."
With a shudder I verified his state
ment Larger footprints were in the
mud with the small ones. The owner
of the forger shoes had evidently fol
lowed the lady, because in many cases
the small footprints were partially ob
literated by the larger ones.
"Look! She dropped thle."
Kent echoed my own thought "Gee,
I wish He had brought the gun
with W"
"Let's hurry en before If® too kite,"
I urged.
We pressed forward at a killing pace,
aoly stocptng once In awhile to assure
otrrtei>ee that We wen on the right
Crack, At one place Ore ground was
trampled ovm a considerable area.
"Be caught up wltti her here," Kent
interpreted. TUey ttTuggled. L<X)k,
•he dropped title."
He picked up a handkerchief. Br
the fight at a mateb 1 discovered that
tt waa marked "0." There could be
no doiibt; we were on the right track.
"Bhe got a way trom Win, Cwugh,"
exulted Knt "Be© hen, Jiat beyond
her footatkpa an ahead AgKm."
