Miss Nobody from Nowhere BY ELIZABETH JORDAN Thirteenth Installment WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Standing on a New York street corner, a young woman suddenly discovers that she does not know her own name nor how she got there. Everything in her past is a blank. She knows only that her name is "Eve." She meets a young man who lives at the hotel where she is registered as Eve Nobody of Nowhere, which she had written in French. Eric Hamilton calls in a nerve specialist, but Eve slips out of the hotel, goes to a little apartment house, where she meets a professional dancer who gets her a job in a cabaret. As a cabaret hostess she meets many curious people. Then, one night, a man claims to recognise her comma. She is afraid of him and runs away back to the hotel and rides her manner of dress, so that the stranger out of her old life will not recognize her. Then Hamilton persuades her to go through a marriage ceremony with him. As they return to the hotel the man she fears is waiting. Hamilton sends her up stairs and turns to the other man, who says his name is Samuel Henderson, of Chicago. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Thank you, Mr. Henderson. My name is Eric Hamilton, and I'm from Chicago, too. That ought to be a bond." "Thanks. And now," Henderson added in a level tone. "I'd like to have you tell me what you meant by speaking of Miss Carrington as your wife." Eric permitted himself a glance of surprise, while mentally he registered the name. "I meant that the lady and I are married," he suavely informed the caller. "Since when?" "Oh, for some little time." "I can give you proof any time it's necessary. But first I want to know a lot more about you. Where do you come in on Eve's affairs?" Henderson turned squarely and stared at him. He seemed unable to speak. "Do you mean to say," he inquired at last, "that my name doesn't mean anything more than a name to you, and that Eve Carrington married you without telling you about me?" "Not a thing. Not a word." Henderson hunched forward, eyes on the rug at his feet. "Well," he muttered, "that certainly ties up the package... with a string! I thought no musician could surprise me, for the Lord knows emphasizing every word. I happen to be Eve's dead father's lifelong friend, they're a crazy lot. But this! He straightened and met Hamilton's sympathetic eyes." "You see," he added deliberately, and her guardian, and her manager, and the man she was going to marry! Hamilton's breath caught under the blow, but he took it with outward calmness. "Now that we understand each other, suppose you tell me about the shock my wife had before she left Chicago," he suggested. "She doesn't even mention it." "That's easy, though I guess you've read most of the details. You know all out the drownings, of course." "I don't even know what you mean." Henderson took out his handkerchief and wiped his moist face. "It’s very odd you don’t know," he muttered. "Hasn’t Eve told you anything at all?" size ... and at the same time Heckner governess came running ward them, off her head with and shrieking that all the children been in that boat." Henderson stopped again. "Eve took just time enough off her shoes before she raced in water and started for the kids realized that it was all up to most of the men were away then and the governess and the other women couldn't swim a stroke of them had sense enough to run toward town for help, and they raced around on the sand, yellinHe stopped again, took the blink from his lips, and looked at him wondering how it got there. "I know those kids, myself," plained. "I’d been at Mackling the previous week-end and I had the twins out rowing. Oh well He restored the cigar to his puffed at it fiercely for a moment resumed: "Eve’s a good swimmer, but a hard pull, for the boat had almost a quarter of a mile from and her skirt was heavy and it was rough. All four youngster clinging to the boat when she to them, and when they saw their twin boys—ten, they were—be laugh. They thought it was now but the fun of the rescue, told her to take the girls first, of course she’d have done anyone she took the youngest, little Heckner, who is only seven brought her in all right. She Nancy to the woman on shore looked after, and she tore off her..." "Thank you, Mr. Henderson. My name is Eric Hamilton, and I'm from Chicago, too. That ought to be a bond." "Thanks. And now," Henderson added in a level tone. "I'd like to have you tell me what you meant by speaking of Miss Carrington as your wife." Eric permitted himself a glance of surprise, while mentally he registered the name. "I meant that lady and I are married," he suavely informed the caller. "Since when?" "Oh, for some little time." "The hotel people didn't seem to know anything about it. They called her Miss Parsons." "One doesn't confide all one's affairs to the hotel people, you know." Hamilton mildly pointed out. "And I admit we're Newly Weds. Still," he added, "we meant to tell them tonight." "They call Miss Carrington, Miss Berson' uptown and Miss Parsons' at this hotel. I can't understand," Henderson went on as Hamilton took this in silence, "why she changed her name after skipping out the way she did. But why the devil should she have two names?" "Four," Hamilton corrected: "Carrington, Parsons, Berson and Hamilton. But Hamilton is the real one. Berson is the result of a blunder. Some one uptown twisted Parsons into Berson and the habit spread." "Do you mean to say that Eve Carrington married you without telling you about me?" he inquired at last. "Dammed queer, I call it," Henderson muttered. "And cutting me dead when I finally found her." he ended. "That's beyond belief!" As Hamilton made no comment on this outburst, Henderson added with an evident effort at self-control: "Wasn't this marriage of yours rather sudden?" "I suppose you might call it so," Eric conceded. "But we've known each other more than a fortnight, and lots of couples don't wait that long, but he took it with outward blow, but he took it with outward calmness. "Now that we understand each other, suppose you tell me about the shock my wife had before she left Chicago," he suggested. "She doesn't even mention it." "That's easy, though I guess you've read most of the details. You know all out the drownings, of course." "I don't even know what you mean." Henderson took out his handkerchief and wiped his moist face. "It's very odd you don't know," he muttered. "Hasn't Eve told you anything at all? I've admitted that she hasn't discussed the shock! "I suppose that isn't strange, really. She was shot to pieces by it, poor girl. Eric caught his arm." Mr. Henderson, he cried, "I wish you'd stop beating about the bush and tell me that whole story from start to finish." "All right," Henderson agreed. He went on with increasing seriousness: "I'll start at the beginning. Eve was pretty tired when she got back to America the first of July, after her European tour, and the year ahead of her here was going to be just as strenuous as the past year. She's a genius, you know... a wonder. Even now there isn't another American planist who can touch her. She'll head all the women players of the world almost a quarter of a mile from and her skirt was heavy and taut was rough. All four youngsters clinging to the boat when she to them, and when they saw her twin boys—ten, they were—been laugh. They thought it was now but the fun of the rescue, told her to take the girls first; of course she'd have done any she took the youngest, little Heckner, who is only seven brought her in all right. She Nancy to the woman on shore looked after, and she tore off her ed shirt and went right out again the next girl, Mary, who isn't nine. Mary was about ready under by this time, and the twin trying their best to help her. There wasn't any smiling near the boys bucked up when their was taken off their hands, and used Eve they'd hold on till back. But Herman said goodbye started off, and she didn't like the dication or the way he had look rattled her and she had an awful getting Mary to shore, for the boy in a panic. The newspaper met lot of fancy writing on the second cue. She got Mary to shore, and started back a third time women tried to hold her then, she saw she was about all in, but she went," he repeated softly, twins sank before she reached the she started diving.... "Go on!" Hamilton begged and the big man obeyed after at him. It was clear to each now that the other loved the girl were discussing. "The woman that ran back had found some men in a field, derson continued, "and they find a boat and reached Eve just in save her. It took almost an hour bring her to consciousness after got her to shore. They brought one of the twins, Herman, who but he was dead when they got the surface. Henry's body was covered till that afternoon. It ghastly business... but Eve had the two little girls." "By God! that was stuck Hamilton said on a choked break." Of course it was stunning," derson agreed.

I call it," Henderson muttered. "And cutting me dead when I finally found her," he ended. "That's beyond belief!" As Hamilton made no comment on this outburst, Henderson added with an evident effort at self-control: "Wasn't this marriage of yours rather sudden?" "I suppose you might call it so," Eric conceded. "But we've known each other more than a fortnight, and lots of couples don't wait that long. Strangers in the same town get better acquainted in a few weeks of vacation, you know, than they ordinarily would in a year," he bromidically pointed out. "Vacation!" Henderson broke out, so loudly that his companion had to remind him of the time and place by an apprehensive look around the room. It worked. Henderson lowered his voice. "Do you realize, young man, that this bride of yours skipped out, without warning, a week before she was billed to make her first American appearance to the most important musical event of the year—the big Chicago benefit for the flood sufferers? And that isn't all she's done," he endured with a groan. "No," Hamilton slowly admitted, "I didn't realize that. What else has she done?" Henderson sent him a sudden peering look from his near-sighted eyes, but he was too full of his own troubles to be analytical. "She's wrecked half a dozen October concert engagements, that's what she's done," he bitterly announced, "including one with the Chicago Orchestra and another with the Philadelphia Orchestra. And she has knocked on the head the prettiest autumn recital ever planned for an artiste. It was to come off early next month. That was bad enough; but of course we all made allowances for her because of the awful shock she'd had—" "She hasn't said much about that shock," Eric confessed. "I wish you would tell me the whole story." Henderson leaned nearer and peered into his face again, this time more closely. "See here," he suddenly demanded. "Why should I talk over Miss Carrington's affairs with you? I don't know anything about you." "We're fifty-fifty on that," Hamilton reminded him. "But I'm her husband." "I've only your word for it." in a few years more. You don't need to know anything about music to realize she's a genius," Henderson was saying. "You have only to hear her play." "I've never heard her play." Hamilton spoke absently, irritated by the departure from the main theme. He immediately regretted his words, for Henderson was plainly amazed by them. "What!" he gasped. "You've known Eve Carrington more than two weeks and haven't heard her play! Still, he now remembered, "she had turned from her music completely during that last week in Chicago—" "You were talking about the Heckner drownings," Eric reminded him. Henderson shook his gray head. "It doesn't seem possible," he brought out. "I can't imagine Eve away from a piano that long, even in the nervous state she was in. But I suppose it's no more impossible than the rest of this business. 'Eve went to Mackinac early in August, for a fortnight's rest. She was the guest of the Heckners, in their summer home there. She's an intimate friend of Mrs. Heckner, who is devoted to her and was doing everything she could to make Eve's first American season a big success. 'Eve is strong for boating and swimming and very sort of outdoor sport'" Henderson went on, having replaced the spectacles. "Learned 'em when she was a kid, and keeps herself fit that way. The Heckner children (there were four of them were crazy about her, and spent most of their time at her heels. They were just learning to row and swim, but of course they were never allowed to go off by themselves. However, they knew there was an old boat a mile or so up the beach, and they sneaked off alone one morning and got that boat into the water and pushed out in it. Their governess thought they had merely run away from her to play on the sand, but, just the same, she chased along the beach, looking for them, and on the way another child met her and told her what the youngsters had done. They were pretty far out by that time." "Yes. Go on." "It was early and the shore was almost deserted; but Eve had happened along with two women she walked with every mornig. She and her friends had been standing for a few minutes watching the rowboat and wondering why the devil it was acting so queer. Suddenly they saw it cap- The Coolidges at Home Ex-President Calvin Coolidge and Mrs. Coolidge photographed on the front steps of their new home, "The Beaches," Northampton, Mass.

Los Angeles County General Election Plans Growing With California's state primary election now a matter of history, the next important events on the political calendar are: 1. Orange county's newly-elected county central committees of each party meet at the court house September 9. 2. State party conventions at Sacramento September 18. 3. State central committees met at Sacramento September 27. Under the revised primary law the county central committees must assemble at each county seat September 9 to elect a chairman, secretary and other officers deemed necessary. These committees will have charge of the party campaign for the November election under general supervision of the state central committee or its executive committee. Nine days later the state conventions of Republican, Democratic, Socialist and Prohibition parties will meet at 10 a.m. at the state capitol in Sacramento. At these party conventions a platform will be adopted for the forthcoming election, and members of the new state central committees will be chosen. More than ordinary importance attaches to this year's Republican convention. Underneath all the talk of party harmony looms a possible fight by the Progressive wing of the party to dominate the convention. Election of Mayor James Rolph Jr., as the party's choice for governor, and Senator Frank F. Merrlam of Long Beach for lieutenant governor is viewed by some observers as a slap at United States Senator Hiram Johnson and his Progressive organization in the state. A wet-and-dry fight is predicted for the Democratic convention. At the 1926 convention of that party a wet plank was nalled down after a bitter all-night meeting. What kind of a country is this getting to be, where Halloween lasts two weeks and a Fourth of July is like Sunday on the farm? Give the baby a rattle.

Los Angeles County Fair Opens Friday It has been said, and truly, that a county fair could not be held without the women and this is particularly true of Los Angeles County Fair which opens Friday, September 12, in Pomona and continues through Sunday, September 21.
