CHAPTER TX.

I went to bed early that night What with worrying and being alter nately chilled by tramping through the snow and roasted as if I was sitting on volcano with an eruption due, was about all in.
 I guess it was about four o'clock in the morning when a hand slid over my face, and l sat up and yelled. The hand covered my mouth at that, and something long and white and very thin beside the bed said: "Shl For heavens sake, Minnie,"

 We brought her back to her room, Ra1 she didn't know whether to be happy that she was vindicated or mad at the state her things were in. She drew my head down to her and her eyes were fairly popping out Of her head.
 'I feel as though I'm going crazy, Minnie!" she whispered, but the onls things that are gone are my letters from Mir. Jones, and-my black woolen tightsi"

Dick muFled to the neck, with his hat almost over his face.
 What the deuce kept you so late this morning?" he demanded. in a sulky voice, and limping over to a table he drew a package out of his pocket and slammed 1t on the table.
 'I was up half the night. as usual, |" I said, rising. You oughtn't to be here, Mir. Dick!"

 For Gods sake, Minnie" he ex- claimed, return this-this garment to -whomeyer 1t belongs to-"
 He handed 1t to me. and 1t was Miss Cobb's black tights! I stood and stared.
 And then" he went on, reaching for the package on the table, when you've done that, return to 'Binkie' these letters from her Jonesie. '.
 Don't stand and stare" he con tinued irritably, when I didn't make a move, "at least get that--that internal black garment out of sight"
 So it was you!" I gasped, putting the newspaper over the tights. Why in the name of peace did you jump out of the window, and what did you want with-with these things7'
