CHAPTER ".
Oliver Becomes Suspicious.

YONG and earnestly Oliver studied
the letters It was evident that
two persons had addressed
them, unless one Of the hands
was disguised. But the violet paper,
thin as parchment, the square enveI-
opcS, deckIe-edEed, and, above all,
the significant purple ink, were the
same
1t was possible, Of course, that two
persons might chance upon the same
nCte-paper- But was II probable
This paper would be conspicuous any
where It was not commonplace one
could not purchase it in every de-
fsartment store
Could this other envelope, addressed
10 Mrs. Eliza owen Porter, furnish a
clue 10 the identity of the girl who
had written Oliver Grant ahOnym-
OUsIy2
Oliver wondered
The letter with the heavy. bold
handwriting did not belong to him
He had no right to open it II was
his business TO give II back to Mrs
Porter without inquiring into its con-
tents
Still, there was the mysterious girl,
and he did want to know who she

he must know. anyway If Il should
chance that the paper was identical
IN this respect also II would be con

Possibly the girl had disguised her
hand when writing TO him. It was
certainly an fashioned hand fox
the modern American girl TO write.
Only. somehow, lie had come TO like
the gentle writing He hated to dis
associate II from her
He attempted 10 separate the pasted
Zap from the envelope with his pocket
knife. II was securely Summed. and
II was impossible TO pry it free without
mutiIatiuZ the paper
His eve roved about the studio and
lighted finally upon the little tea kettle
which Henry had neglected 10 remove.
The water was still warm It was a
matter Of only a few moments before
he had a good JET of steam pouring
from the mouth Of the kettle.
