cab. The parcel was placed ON the table
and left for some time unnoticed BY
him until ne caught sight OF the writ
ing on the brown paper cover as he
paced up and down the room. In that
casual glance he recognized the pattes
de mouche Of his enchantress. He tore
the parcel open IN fever OF excitement
and found Q good sized wooden box, on
the top OF which Lay letter addressed
70 him IN the same hand BE tore open
the envelope and devoured its contents.
The lady's letter was brief and eminent
~ practical:

your money back.
Half dazed and hardly knowing what
he was doing, he hastily opened the box
and took out one by one the trinkets he
had given her In their dainty morocco
cases hearts, darts, anchors for hope,
serpents for eternity; at the bottom he
found another letter, just like the
former, only more bulky. With sink
ing heart he tore 1t open. 1t contained
long bill, stretching over several sheets
Of note paper, setting forth every item Of

The people who praised the munif-
cence or the g1ft wondered at the odd
ness OF the amount, which was the exact
total OF the sisters restitution to their
entertainer.
A week later q relative, who was a
city merchant, offered Gladbrook apart
nership in business which eventually
opened up the dazzling pathway to
wealth.
He bought an estate In his own county,
stood for his division OF Cragshire and
entered parliament.
The American tour Of the Sisters Pool
was one succession Of triumphs. Before
they had been in the country three
months Cissie had married rich stock
broker. After two years domestic nm
happiness he lost his entire fortune in
single day and committed suicide before
night Garry remained single. They
returned to England to find other god
desses reigning in their stead and a new
race Of fanatics worshiping at new
