table and stared at Ellen's wrist
"Nell. WHARF did you get that pretty
braceletf don't think ever noticed
II before What Is 1.-THE metal? pull
up your sleeve a little, dear"
Ellen gave me a covert glance. With
her right hand she involunta rilv
twitched down the sleeve Of the left.
A motion that was checked before n
was perceptible to any one but me.
IT'S Just an odd bit" she explained.
But BY this time Dot Archer was

II was impossible to refuse. She
turned back the sleeve, and the red
dish band CLEANED against her white
wrist. The face Of the Nubian looked

proportions. n
