 The young woman looked startled but recovered herself. You haven't it, she said, as though that settled the case.
 Stranger things have happened, 2 declared young Stacey. "Other men have had unknown uncles die in Aus tralia or Alaska and leave them vast wealth. Why am l different from oth- CT men? Why should you deny me an unknown uncle?"
