Anaheim, Calif., Sept. 25, 1930 Miss Nobody from Nowhere BY ELIZABETH JORDAN Fifteenth 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 off of the hotel goos 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 who claims to recognize her comes in. She is afraid of him and runs away, back to the hotel to Eric Hamilton. She has her hair dyed and changes 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 waking. Hamilton sends her up stairs and arms to the other man, who says his name is Samuel Henderson, of Chicago. Henderson identifies Eve to Hamilton. She is Eve Carrington, a famous concert singer and Henderson was not only her manager but had hoped to marry her. She had collapsed after trying to save four children of a friend from an overturned rowboat in Lake Michigan, two of them drowning before her eyes. She had slipped away from the nurse on guard in Chicago and completely vanished. The shock of the death of the two little boys couple with her fear of Henderson had caused her loss of memory. Hamilton tells the whole story to his friend, Dr. Carrick, who is able to assure Eve that there is nothing in her old life that she needs to fear, while he considers how to bring her memory back. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I will try to . . . but I have a sort us, and promise not to ask any more questions?" "Yes." She sat up and resolutely smiled at him. "I'm ashamed of myself for breaking down." "You needn't be. You're going through this wonderfully; and you're coming out of it wonderfully, too. Do you think you will sleep tonight?" "I hope so." "You ought to, for I think you're on the road home. Good night, Miss Carrington." "Good night, Doctor." Their eyes and hands met. The next morning, in the light of a sparkling day, the problems seemed simpler. "I want you to make me a promise," Eve said to Hamilton. "Almost anything, Eve. You know that." "Then promise me you won't let the man who calls himself Henderson know about my condition until I say you may." Eric hesitated. "Doctor Carrick and I agree that it would be wise not to confide in him for a time," he told her. "Won't that do?" No. Even if you find he's all right, I don't want him to know about my amnesia, or whatever it is," she persisted. "There's something deep down—Oh, I can't explain it. Perhaps it's instinct. Perhaps it's memory stirring a little. What ever it is, I don't want him to know." Eric, of course, understood and shared her feeling, but he hesitated to give a blanket promise. "Something may happen," he pointed of our beautiful day." The last words would have for anything. They restore to a mental state in which they belonged to him and his and this condition of beauty through a rather silent dim evening in which she left him on the plea of being tired. "But it has been a good told him, and added with having smile," "I have felt acct man." He had sent off his institute the Chicago agency the pre- before he slept, and from wired them he subconscious watch for the report. Inch dropped a note to Henderson ing their next talk for a fee. No doubt Henderson was busy with investigations Hamilton's life and present Certainly Henderson revealed urge toward another meet Hamilton did. He had also wired to C tending his own vacation, and time for Eve and himself rest of the week by arranging motor jaunts, a matinee o some bus and steamer sight postitions. There was no Eve played up wonderfully, no questions and betrayed cusional moments of depress ion. The third day Eve made peeled suggestion. "Do you think it would if we dropped into Jake's an hour?" she asked. "We'll do anything you like at once, but she saw that t She is in Henderson, and Henderson was not only her manager but had hung to marry her. She had collapsed after trying to save four children of a friend from an overturned rowboat in Lake Michigan, two of them drowning before her eyes. She had slipped away from the nurse on guard in Chicago and completely vanished. The shock of the death of the two little boys coupled with her fear of Henderson had caused her loss of memory. Hamilton tells the whole story to his friend, Dr. Carrick, who is able to assure Eve that there is nothing in her old life that she needs to fear, while he considers how to bring her memory back. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I will try to... but I have a sort of horror..."" "I know you have. Mr. Hamilton has told me about it. But there's nothing now to justify it. Will you believe that?"" "Yes." "I had a shock this morning when I got the full effect of my dyed hair in the bright light," she abruptly announced. "Good. And you must remember another thing. We're morally but not absolutely certain that the man who came tonight is what he says he is and that the story he tells is true. He may have stolen the proofs he offers, or be passing himself off as some one else, but there seems a hundred to one chance that he's not a fraud. We're going to learn all about him as quickly as we can, but it may take a few days. In the meantime I'll give you a bare hint of his story and see if it stimulates memory. How about the name Carrington—Eve Carrington? Does it seem familiar?"" "I don't know," she faltered. "Is it mine?"" "Did it seem natural when I called you by it?"" "I can be sure, I was so excited when you came in. You know what this possibility may mean to me... if there's nothing to dread..."" "Of course I do. How about the name Henderson? Does that suggest anything?"" She reflected, while both men waited tensely. he was sure; and he himself was anxious to keep the truth from Henderson as long as he dared. Moreover right or wrong, the important thing was to have her mind as free from anxiety as possible. "It's too fine to stay in," he suggested. "Suppose I get a roadster and we go off for the day?"" She hesitated, but her quick glance at the outer radiance showed him that she was tempted. "It does sound nice," she admitted. "Then let's go. Can you be ready in half an hour?"" In half a minute, I've got on everything I own, you know." "We'll split the difference. I'll try to be at the front entrance with a car in fifteen minutes."" He was exacting about the roadster when it was offered for his inspection at the hotel garage. He insisted on having it cleaned and he also ordered an overworked tire changed. But it was not much more than twenty minutes before he helped Eve into the car at the Garland's entrance. Her mood was serene but severely practical. Do you think it would be if we dropped into Jake's an hour? she asked. "We'll do anything you like at once, but she saw that of the expedition was intasteful to him. She was no From the first he had shown willingness to discuss her ex Jake's or even to admit t occurred. "I'd like to go," she amplified his manner. "They wereingly good to me; I've told And I left them under a fact, they say Jake never for one who quits him cold," as So I really ought to show as an apology." "Of course," he restless. "But... you could write." I've done that." She got odd look. "You don't want back there, do you?"" No frankly I don't. But just the same, if you're real it. However, I'll ask you me in one detail. Introduce husband. I don't want th to think you're drifting around. As you like," she again there's no danger in the visit Henderson isn't likely, to be and even if he were—" There's no longer at not what I'm thinking about. He spoke so curtly that at him in mock alarm. "Do you realize," she said: "that at moments you're b talk and act like a real hus proprietary air you're we minute would deceive the server." He flushed. "I beg your pardon." She relented. You don't need to ... he turned an illuminated face added hastily, "I know just feel." You don't know anything kind," he said unsteadily. day I hope you will." Continued Next W How about the name Carrington—Eve Carrington? Does it seem familiar? "I don't know," she faltered. "Is it mine?" "Did it seem natural when I called you by it?" "I can be sure, I was so excited when you came in. You know what this possibility may mean to me... if there's nothing to dread..." "Of course I do. How about the name Henderson? Does that suggest anything?" She reflected, while both men waited tensely. "No," she said at last, in a hopeless tone, "I'm afraid it doesn't." "H-m-m. Well, this man Henderson who was here tonight and who frightened you at the cabaret, Mr. Hamilton tells me... says that you are a musician." "A musician?" She tried the word, with tender lips and a sudden smile. "I... good. Heavens, Doctor! I don't know!" "Don't get nervous. I won't ask many questions. But what sort of a musician do you think you are?—a singer?" "I... I don't know!" "Do you think you can sing?" She shook her head. "If some one rolled a piano in here, would that interest you? Would you want to play on it?" "I don't know. Oh, I don't know!" It was clear that the strain of the situation was too much for her. To Hamilton's horror, she collapsed abruptly in a spasm of sobbing, her face in her hands, her body shaking. He started toward her, the psychiatrist waved him back while he himself approached the girl and laid a quieting hand on her shoulder. "You see how it is, Miss Carrington," he said, very gently. "You're not quite up to these tests yet, and in one way they may do you more harm than good. Don't let that frighten you. I'm certain that you're coming through this all right, and very soon at that. In the meantime you mustn't mind if we don't talk any more of this man and his story till we know what we're about. We can't risk getting you stirred up on false clues, can we?" She wiped her eyes and pulled herself together. "No," she steadily agreed. "But if they're real clues—" "If they're real clues you can trust us to tell you. In the meantime, these names are in your mind and they may start some subconscious work. Will you be patient and leave all the rest to them let's go. Can you be ready in half an hour?" "In half a minute. I've got on everything I own, you know." "We'll split the difference. I'll try to be at the front entrance with a car in fifteen minutes." He was exacting about the roadster when it was offered for his inspection at the hotel garage. He insisted on having it cleaned and he also ordered an overworked tire changed. But it was not much more than twenty minutes before he helped Eve into the car at the Garland's entrance. Her mood was serene but severely practical. "I oughtn't, to let you spend money on me this way," she murmured as she took her place beside him. The matter of money was increasingly on her mind. He gave the wheel a carefree whirl and started the roadster uptown. The roadster was approaching the turn that led to White Plains. She glanced down at her black pumps and her face sobered. "I had a shock this morning when I looked at myself in the glass and got the full effect of my dyed hair in a bright light," she abruptly announced. "I can imagine it. I'm glad, myself, when you wear your hat. Talking of food has made one hungry," Hamilton added; for the dyed hair was not a topic to dwell on. "How about lunching very soon at some picture-sque place along here? You ate hardly any breakfast." "I'll be ready for my luncheon." She was not only ready for it but she ate it, to his immense relief. They had a table on a hotel veranda commanding a superb view of river and hills and meadows, and after the meal they lingered to enjoy the vista while Hamilton smoked a cigar. When they resumed their ride she deliberately led him, for the first time, to talk about himself. He was glad to have her know something of his family and traditions, of his school and college life, his interests and his friendships. Perhaps she had weared of their marriage game, but this did not hurt him. She was an inspiring listener. He knew he had never talked better. "How would you feel," she abruptly demeaned, "if a black curtain suddenly fell between you and all that? If you had absolutely no knowledge of yourself as you were before you came here?" "I'd feel just the way you feel," he admitted; "only I couldn't take the experience so pluckily. You've been an inspiration, as Carrick says." "It was disgusting of me to bring up the subject," she broke out. "That wasn't plucky—to spoil even a minute."
