scanned the list of contributors for n
name from which Bill might have
been derived.
"wilhelmina Willy Billy-Bill! have
It, Bill stands for Wilhelmina Wicks.
and she is the author of The Silent
Hour"
Robinson smiled amusedly at the
little bit OF Sherlocking he was In
dulging in.
That he wanted to know the girl
was a certain fact. He had known
that the moment his eyes beheld her
likeness. The picture might be fiat
tering and still she could be divinely
beautiful. Robinson had known many
girls in his life. but somehow the
only one had not appeared. He had a
feeling that when he stood face to
face with Wilhelmina Wicks she
would Immediately take possession OF
his heart.
1t was with alacrity that he ar
ranged his business affairs in prepra-
tin for his trip. After that he wrote
his married sister In London that he
would be with her almost as soon as
his letter.
While on the ocean Robinson
thought out plan Of action which
he considered tactful and brilliant.
He would write Miss Wicks at the
Southern Express and inform her that
he was in possession of her picture;
that he would return it II his letter
reached her and If she SO desired. In
this way he would at least get into
correspondence with her. After that
perhaps Fate would be kind and bring
about proper meeting. At any rate
Robinson decided to spend all his
time not absorbed by business, In the
Southern Express offices. Perhaps the
girl Of his dreams would have re-
turned from Devonshire and in that
event he would see her. She would
call for her mail surely.

letters his once boy had opened for
him. They were mostly business COM

But suddenly and unexpectedly
there came from its tight fitting en-

his breath in swift admiration. The
