but the fear that Halsey was In dan.

knees seemed to give way under me.

the doorway into the hall beyond.

with his arms extended, was q man.

bunch" of servants my courage re-
vived, and late in the afternoon came
message from Gertrude that she and
Halsey would arrive that night at
about IL o'clock, coming in the car
from Richfield. Things were looking
up; and when Beulah, my cat, most
intelligent animal, found some early
catnip on bank near the house and
rolled in it in feline ecstasy, I de-
cided that getting back to nature was
the thing to do.
While was dressing for dinner,
Liddy raped at the door. She was
hardly herself yet, but privately l
think she was worrying about the bro
ken mirror and its augury, more than
anything else. When she came in she
was holding something in her hand,
and she laid it on the dressing table
carefully.
Il found 1t in the linen hamper"
she said. ut must be Mr.. Halsey's,
but it seems queer how it got there. /"
It was the half of link cuff but
ton of unique design, and I looked at
it carefully.
Where was it? In the bottom of
the hamper?" I asked.
ION the very top" she replied. TITS
mercy it didn't fall out on the way"
When Liddy had gone examined
the fragment attentively. I had never
seen it before, and I was certain it
was not Halsey's. 1t was of Italian
workmanship, and consisted of a
mother-of-pearl foundation, encrusted
with tiny seed-pearls, strung on
horsehair to hold them. In the cen
ter was small ruby. The trinket
was odd enough, but not intrinsically
of great value. Its interest for me
lay in this: Liddy had found it lying
in the top of the hamper which had
blocked the east-wing stairs.
That afternoon the Armstrong;
housekeeper, youngish good-looking
woman, applied for Mrs. Ralston's
place, and was glad enough to take
her. She looked as though she might
be equal to dozen of Liddy, with her
swapping black eyes and heavy jaw
Her name was Anne Watson, and ]

cheerful enough all day, allowed his

children could possibly arrive. and
got out my knitting.
The chug of the automobile as it
climbed the hill was the most wei.
come sound l had heard for a long
time, and with Gertrude and Halsey
actually before me, my troubles
seemed over for good. Gertrude stood
smiling in the hall, with her hat quite
over one ear, and her hair in every
direction under her pink veil. Ger
