Saturday, when 1 received a brief
letter from Walter saying he had to
go abroad on business and would
write or cable as soon as he landed.
l remember now that l was real an

Miss De Melville wrinkled her pref

Miss De Melville rolled away in their
carriages, and the big Carmody man
sion was dark as it frowned on Fifth
Avenue.
