they shone more than ever Then Mrs.

ask advice and the only person she could
think of was Sydney Goodacre, clerk
employed by the Republican county com
mittee, who lives at llS West Twenty

the jewels with her. the old woman gave

acre. He though the flower pedler must
be sick and he hurried around to her house
"See, "hvas her greeting, "are they real?'
Goodacre said that they were, and the
old woman told him how they came in her
possession. Goodacre had not read the
