 interesting. you know, and alliterative. As for that womau--!"
 What woman!" said Miss Sum- mers voice from behind us. We jumped and turned. T always save myself trouble. so if by any chance you are discussing me" As it happens" Miss Cobb said glancing at her, q was discussing you"
 "Fine!" said Miss Julia. q love to talk about myself"
 T doubt if it's an edifying subject, !" Miss Cobb snapped. Miss Julia looked at her and smiled.
 Perhaps not" she said. but inter- esting. Don't put yourself out to be friendly to me. Miss Cobb. if you don't feel like it."
 Are you going to return my let ters?" Miss Cobb demanded.
 Your letters?'
 My letters-that you took out of my room!'
 Look here" Miss Julia said, still in a good humor, don't you suppose I've got letters Of my own, without bothering with another woman's?" Perhaps" Miss Cobb replied in tri. umph, perhaps you will say that you don't know anything of my-of my black woolen protectors 2" Never heard of theml" said Miss Summers. What are they?" And then she caught my eye, and guess l looked stricken. "Oh!" she said.
 Miss Cobb was robbed the other night" I explained, as quietly as could. Somebody went into her room and took a bundle of letters"
 'Letters!" Miss Summers straight, ened and looked at me And my woolen tights" said Miss | Cobb indignantly. And I'll tell you this, Miss Summers, your dog got in my room that night, and while have no suspicious. the cham tss-; ;iiSss 6 < found my-er-missing garment this morning in your closet"
 T don't believe" Miss Julia said i looking hard at me, that Arabella would steal anything so-er-gro, ! tesque! Do you mean to say" she ! added slowly, that nothing was taken ! from that room but the-lingerie and bundle of letters?" Exactly" said Miss Cobb, "and I'd ! thank you for the letters" "The lettersl" Miss Julia retorted I've never been in your room. haven't got the letters. I've never i seen them" Then a light dawned in her face. I-oh, it's the funniest | eYeri"
 ! And with that she threw her head ! back and laughed until the tears rolled ! down her cheeks and she held her side.
 "Screaming!" she gasped. Its ! screaming! But, oh, Minnie, to have seen your face!" ! Miss Cobb swept to the door and ! turned in a fury. i q do not think it is funny" she [ stormed, "and I shall report to MT Carter at once what I have discoY cred"
 She banged out, and Miss Julia puI her head on card table and writheC with joy. ITO have seen your face Minniei" she panted, wiping her eyes .'To have thought you had Dick Car ter's letters, that keep rolled in as bestos, and then to have opened then and found they were to Miss Cobb"
 Be as happy as you like" snapped but you are barking up the wrong tree. I don't know anything about any letters and as far as that goes do you think I've lived here fourteen years to get into the wrong room al night? If I'd wanted to get into your room. I'd have found your room, not Miss Cobb's."
 She sat up and pulled her hal straight, looking me right in the eye.
 If you'll recall" she said. T came into the springhouse, and Arabella pulled that-garment of Miss Cobb's ofr a table. It was early-nobody was out yet You were alone, Minnie, ol no." she said suddenly. you were not alone. Minnie, who was in the pan try"
 What has that to do with it?" managed, with my feet as cold al stone.
 She got up and buttoned her sweat CT.
 Don't trouble to lie" she said. q can see through a stone wall as well as most people. Whoever got those letters thought they were stealing mine. and there are only two people who would try to steal my letters; one is Dick Carter, and the other is his brother-in-lsw. It wasn't Sam in the pantry-he came in just after with his little snip of a wife"
 f@Well?" I managed.
 But she was smiling again, not SC pleasantly.
 T might have known iti" she said What fool I've been, Minnie, and how clever you are under that red thatch of yoursl Dicky cannot appear as long as I am here, and Pierce takes his place, and help to keep the secfet and to play the gamei We'll, can ap preciate a joke on myself as well as most people, but-Aiinnie, Minnie think of that guilty wretch of Dicky Carter shaking in the pantryi"
 T don't know what you are talking about" said. but she only winked snd
