As she steps from the train at Pendleton station, a strange young man giant, green-eyed, seizes her, kisses her and without a word thrusts her into a taxi and vanishes. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY' CHAPTER II The taxi was wheeling into the main street when Judith first dared to glance out the window. For a moment her heart stopped, as a light topcoat came round, the corner. But the coat swung from puny shoulders less than five feet from the ground. And then the side- walks seemed lined with light top coats of many descriptions, The owner of the green eyes and the broad shoulders and the strong arm evidently was not to be identified by his coat. The car left the business districr and swung into an avenue lined with old trees and large houses of frame and ancient brick, set far back in spacious lawns. The driver stretched his through the opening toward "You say 512 College, miss?" asked. She nodded, and the man, after a curious glance at her white face, turned back to his wheel. A few moments later, they turned a corner and the car shot up a drive- way. "Fifty cents, miss," the driv. er said, when he had nonchalantly set Judith's baggage on the grass by the drive. "You've been paid once" she re- torted. "And kindly carry my bags to the door." The man grumbled as he followed her up the wooden porch steps. On the top step he threw down her hags and departed. Music" and laughter drifted out from the reception hall as Judith fumbled for the knocker. She found, instead, an antiquated bell opera'ed by a thumb screw, which sent a brassy peal through the house. The door opened and a youth in a white apron stood before her. "Is this Mrs. Stedway's house?" she asked, almost petulantly, for the youth .stood sitent and frozen. "Yes,," he drawled. "I have rented a room here. 1 suppose I may come in?" Judith found her voice growing brittle. He pushed open the door, making no move to take her bags. The piano banging in the next room stopped, and a pale, blond girl stepped between the folding walnut doors. "I am Mrs, Stedway's daugn- ter, Lillian. I'll. show you to your room." They went up the stairs in sil- ence and the pale Miss Stedway push- ed open a door into a bedroom. "You're Miss Martin, of course. The rest are all here. 'Supper will be ready in fifteen minutes. You'll hear tne gong." She turned and descended the stairs. Just inside the door, Judith stop- ped and leaned rather weakly against the wall. The room was plainly furnished, and the white walls, ris- ing indefinitely heavenward, added to its barrenness. But five windows head her. Lie promised light and air and the coun- terpane on the white-enameled bed looked clean. : Near the bed stood a large pack- ing box bearing the name of the firm from which Judith had ordered her blankets and bed linens. She in- spected: the bed more closely. There was nothing between counterpane and mattress. All, other necessi- ties had been left for her to supply. Even the golden oak dresser lacked a scarf. It was scarred on top witn rings from many perfume bottles, and covered with dust. Judith set down her burdens and rather listlessly walked toward the bed. Without stopping to unpack the blankets, she lay down on it and closed her eyes. Some time later she was awaken: ed by a gong sounding somewhere be- low, followed by a burst of noise in the hall and on the stairs. She sal up with a start and glanced at her touseled self in the mirror opposite. Then she turned out the light again and lay down. Red tongues of light dancing over the walls and ceiling awoke her next. For a moment, she lay star- ing at them, in a panic. Then she rushed to the window and saw & procession of whooping young mea leading up the street a stripling clad only in his underwear, and brandish- ing red torches as they ran. Every window in the JStedway house went up simultaneously, and Judith heard shrieks of laughter as girls recognized friends in the pro- cession. "Hi, Jimmy, throw him in the fish pond for me. That's one of the things every young freshman should know." This in a feminine squeak from the porch downstairs. A sound behind her made Judith turn suddenly. The reflections from the torches were still careen- ing ruddily around the room, and their intermittent light struck against someone leaning against the closed door. A pin point of fire burned beside the figure. Red gleams caught in the black tolds of the person's garments and then flickered off. "Who is there?" Judith's voice caught a little. The figure at the door stretched out a hand and pressed the light switch. Judith saw a black-haired girl of 19 or 20, wrapped in a black gatin lounging robe, and holding a lighted cigaret in her hand. "Sorry if I'm bothering you," the girl said indolently. "I am Myra Aldrich. TI just came in to see what all the fuss is about. My windows are on the side," She walked to the window, gazed a moment and shrugged her shoul: ders. Then she moved, with a curious swinging stride, to Judith's bed, climbed upon it and stretched herself out, with her head against the wall. She was still puffing at the cigaret. "1 also wanted to give you this," she said. "It was stuck under my door by mistake. You ARE Judith Martin, aren't you?" She held out an envelope. Md : Judith glanced at it and laid it or the table. Then she looked at her guest again. Myra was quite at ease. your room, Miss Martin. "Mine's much smaller and barer. You see, I didn't decide to come until the last "I like minute and had to take what I could get." Judith nodded politely. "It will do very well, when I have found some chintz to take away the hospital- look. I like these windows." Myra said, "It's rather queer for me to be here. I don't usually care much for strangers. But this house is pretty beastly, and I got lonely. Have you seen the collection of boarders?" Judith shook her head. n't go down to dinner." Myra whistled. "Just wait, But you and I'll have to be friends. I've got to have somebody to talk to-- especially when I'm in love." Judith looked at her quizzically. "And are you in love now?" she queried. "I did- PHONE EVIDENGE IS HOST TECHNICAL Majority of Commissioners Leave Bench While Geary Questions Expert Ottawa, Oct. 6--The intricacies of appraisal engineering, profession- al inventory work and efficiency practices in general occupied the attention of two men at this morning's session of the hearing be- fore the Railway Commission of the Bell Telephone Company's ap- Myra nodded casually.

"Dear Miss Martin," it ran, "This is_to advise you that members of the faculty of the college of liberal arts will meet at; 2 o'clock Wednesday at the administration building." It was gigned "Timothy Brown." "You eat and I'll smoke," said Myra, as she came in with the sand- wich and cake. "I'l also talk. I' feel the need of conversation this/ evening." She stopped suddenly and looked shrewdly at Judith. "But, look here! I'll bet you won't do to talk to. Bet you've never been kissed." She smiled at Judith im pudently. Judith flushed. Then she smile¢ sheepishly. "Yes, I have--and no longer ago than this very afternoon Then, seeing Myra's face light with curiosity, she added hastily, "But that's another story.

The two*men were, Reg. Geary, K. C., counsel for Toronto, and Mr. A. J. Peterson, appraisal expert, and Mr. Geary was examining the expert on the appraisal Peterson made of the Bell Telephone plant for the purposes of the rate case. Mr. Geary's questions couched in ordinary language were answered generally by Mr, Peterson in lan- guage of efficiency technic, but whether it was because Mr. Peter- son naturally talked that way or because of a wish to bewilder Mr. Geary was not apparent, But Mr. Geary emerged from each clouded' answer with the translation of it in English so that the final effect was simply .a prolongation of the debate.

MUSSOLINI 0.K.'S ITALY AIR PLAN Huge Plane to Attempt Record Non-Stop Flights Early Next Year Rome. Oct. 6--The newspaper L'Impero today states that Premier Mussolini has approved plans for one of the most elaborate air pro- jects in history. The plans include non-stop air- plane flights from Rome to New York, as well as to San Fransisco and Yokohama. The flights would be made, the newspaper states, in an Italian sea- plane equipped with four engines and capable of developing 1,600- horse power. The ship is described as weighing 12 tons, with a maxi- mum carrying capacity of six tons. The airplane is scheduled to hop off on its first distance flight in April, 1927. according to L'Impero. Big Liquor Seizure is Made East of Cobourg Port Hope, Ont. Oct. 6.--Hugh* Harvey and Edward Horton, both giving their address as Hamilton, are in jail at Cobourg, and over thirteen hundred bottles of high grade beer, and a transport truck are in the hands of the police fol- lowing a sensational liquor seizure on the Provincial highway east of here this morning. Liquor License Inspector Genrge A. Goderich and Provincial Con- stable Fewtrell, acting upon infor- mation from unstated sources, am- bushed the truck on the Provincial highway just east of Cobourg, short. ly after seven o'clock this morning. They found the body of the trans- port filled with sugar sacks, each containing twelve bottles of beer. The occupants, both young men and claiming to hail from Hamilton were taken into custody, and the truck and its cargo were brought to Cobourg, where the liquor was stor- ed in the vaults beneath the old town hall. The truck belonging according to the sign on its side, to the McPher- son Transport Company, Hamiltor, was enroute from Hamilton to Belleville. Harvey and Harton were brought before the magistrate here this morning charged with hav- ing liquor in other than a private residence and were remanded until Friday morning. RUM RUNNER WINS APPEAL Court Will Review Dwyer Conviction; British Liquor Ship Seized New York, Oct. 6.--Wm. V. Dwy- er, convicted as the head of one of the biggest liquor rings in the coun- try, and sentenced to serve two years in Atlanta prison, today won the right to. have a court hearing on the assignments of error presented by his counsel. The government had entered a mo- tion to dismiss Dwyer's appeal from the conviction, but the court of ap- peals today granted the defendant a hearing in December. E. C. Cohron, convicted with Dwyer, also comes under today's ac- tion of the court. Many French peasants put all their money into stockings.

Frame Building Mysteriously Disappears, Even the Own- ers Being in the Dark as to Means of Destruction or Locomotion -- Police Are Investigating Strange Dis- appearance. four wheels stolen, jewellery lost sums of money un- accounted for, and even chidlren strayed from their fond parents, are frequently reported to. the local pol- ice, but seldom it is that the depart- ment is asked to locate a missing building. Such fs the case however. "Lost, within the city limits some- time between sunset and sunrise, a frame building, walls, floors, ceil- ings, and all. Finder will report same to the Oshawa police depart- ment." Such would have read an advert- isement appearing in the Lost and ound column of the daily news- paper. Owners of the building, neigh- ors and officials of the police de- partment are all in the dark as to the manner of its disappearance, whether by locomotion, or by de- struction. The job was done as completely as though the earth had opened and swallowed it. The building in question is a one storey frame structure which form- erly, until its disappearance, stood at the rear of the Hardware store of 1lintoff Bros, King street west. One morning recently, when the clerks entered the store and open- ed up for business, they found to their dismay that part of their storehouse had been carried off bod- ily. Not the slightest clue remains as to how the building was remov- ed, or as to where it was taken. No report of a building having heen moved over the streets of the city, either by day or night, in a mysterious manner, has come to the attention of the police. Whether it was removed board by board, and shingle by shingle is as much of a mystery a whether it was carried away on wheels or left of its own volition. The matter has been reported to the police department, and an in- Vehicles or solid comfort which is to be found a which the sum of $250,000 was con- throughout. vestigation is being conducted into, Lost, Strayed, Stolen, Storehouse is Missing CANADA ASSISTS IN SAVING THE FRANC Paris, Oct. 6.--Hon. Philippe Roy, Canadian commissioner general ia Paris, yesterday presented Premier Raymond Poincare with 1,198,226 francs in checks and bonds (at the present rate of exchange worth $34,140), this being the total amount of subscriptions received to date by the voluntary subscription committee of Montreal in its ef- fort to assist the French govern- ment to bring about the stability of the franc.

As the Standard is gen- erally credited with being closely associated with inner Conservative circles, the item is doubly interest- ing. "Despite the published reports that there would be no provincial election this fall. the Standard hears today, on what is believed to be good authority, that a general elec- tion will certainly be held this year about the middle of December, and that the. provincial government previous to the calling of the elec- tion, will announce a policy of modi- fied government control of liquor This announcement is expected with in the next two weeks."
