municate with Mr.. Hestor without
delay"
81 am sure I have not the remotcst
idea" said Miss lie Roy. 81 have not
seen Walter since the night we went
to the opera and then had supper
at Delmonico's. He said nothing
about his European trip at that time.
The first ] heard about IL was on
Saturday, when I received a brief
letter from Walter saying he had to
go abroad on business and would
write or cable as soon as he landed.
| remember now that | was real an
cry with him at the supper. lie did
not talk to us girls at all. He and
Sidney Hammond were talking about
trusts and all that dreary sort of
thing"
"Who were at the suppcr?" Miss
Helen asked.
"Oh. forget. Who were there,
Miss De Neu,llc?"
Miss De Melville wrinklcd her pref
ty brows and thought deeply for u
few moments.

ficult to remember" she said. Let
me soc; there was Sidney Hammond
and his sister Oive--that's two--Wal-
ter Hestor and Miss lie Roy-that's
four-Mr. Blake and Miss Meredith
that's six-and Mr.. Converse and my
self--that's eight"

everything. | did not hear either of
them say anything about going to
