a cottage by the ocean was rented by
the trio for the summer. Elizabeth
learned that friend of her fathers was

being the queer-acting stranger on the
steamer. The girls were mot at home"
but discovered by the cards left that one
or the men was Elizabeth's fathers
friend. The men proved to be John G.
Blake and Gordon Bennett. The party
was told of the search for smugglers In
the vicinity of the cottage. Elise visited
Mrs. Graham to find that her life was
not the happiest. She learned that the

Mrs. Graham's hair was black. During

In the basement of the cottage and a mo-
inent later Mary Anne, their woman serv-
ant, entered. her arm bleeding. To as
sure them there was no danger. Mary
Anne descended to the basement alone
and quieted their fears. Lady Edith told
the girls of a robbery of jewels at the
hotel Fearing for the safety of her own
gems, she left them In a safe at the cot

Nothing would surprise me. Not after
what the woman across the hall asked
me yesterday.
1T was after five o'clock, and was
busy getting dinner, for my husband
is usually home by six. l guess the
woman across the hall must have been

just ON time, too. She knocked at the
door, and when | asked her to come
out to the kitchen she says: o, no,

sound of voices and laughter told me
Elizabeth and Gabrielle were return
ing from the village. They brought
Lady Edith and Lord Wilfrid both
home with them to dinner, and 1t was
not difficult to persuade Mr.. Bennett
to stay also, so we had the first of
some very merry repasts, where
morning costumes were allowed, and
where Mary Anne, to quote her own
words, "dished up hanything that
came andy and prayed the Lord it
would be enough"
That night asked Gabrielle to look
in her bag and give me my side
comb; but she found that 1t was not
there, and that our picture also was
missing
I'VE will ask for it the next time we
see him." remarked Elizabeth. Il don't
think it is very nice in him to have
taken it out"
"Oh, no." ] objected; don't say
anything about It. ! don't want to
give him the satisfaction of knowing
we missed It,"
And we all agreed that this was our
most dignified course
