Mud Land was still at seven, they found.
Mrs. Curtiss ordered seven shares at that
figure.
Sell it at twenty" said Aurelia in a
loud, commanding voice.
Now up, now down, Mud Land drove
Mrs. Curtiss to the verge Of Mysteries more
than once. She grew thin and pale. She
could not sleep. She lost all appetite.
During this exciting month madame sent
in her bill three times. Mrs. Curtiss took
Aurelia's advice and said nothing. Upon
the third presentation she went TO madame
and explained matters.
Madame was cold. "In thirty days" she
said. 81 can wait no longer. Then my

threatens to sue" she said breathlessly.
