Then. as Mrs. Tudor got into the lift, she
added: GOOD night, and thousand

Hester Forde had assimilated so much
food for reflection that for hours she
was unable to sleep. The country mouse
was discovering how entirely different
she was from other girls and young
women. Fervently she wished that sRe

realized that she was early Victorian in
her ideas and old for her age. and de-
termined to endeavOr to dress herself with
more care. to learn to do her hair diff
ferently and to make the most of her
appearance-such as it was. Yes, she
would buy the necklace at once. and with
this intention firmly implanted in her
mind she finally fell asleep.

protegee along the sea road to st. Jean

Fireman C. A. Jackson did not know that

The mystery Of the engineers disap-
