Il can fix this all up for him,

the man. "All he's got to do is to
bring the stones along with him

Arrest him II you will. but the

Mrs. Delario interrupted.

ario's, and remembered then how
I'd carried II Off; but didn't
have a box suitable for sending
1t through the mail to her, SO |
set 1t on a chest where I'd be sure
to see 1t and not let it get mixed
with mine, meaning to take 1t
down to the house as soon as /
could find time for it.
But | forgot Mrs. Jimmson was
coming to clean. She mixed
those slippers up and set them in
a row beside my bed along with
oxford ties and bath slippers.
1t was on the day that Mrs.
Jilnmson cleaned that Claire
came tripping up to see me and
tell me that her father had ar
rived. She was staying with her
| father at a hotel-mama hadn't
yet come, because grandpa was
dying every day and she didn't
dare to leave him.
And then she suddenly wished
to know IL all Americans lived
the way Mrs. Delario did, and did
American ladies work? Mrs.
Delario, she explained, never left
her bedroom door unlocked for a
single minute, and people were
coming to the house all day, Mrs.
Delario called them "sitters" and
gave them readings" in an
awfully queer room where the
shutters weren't ever opened.
And while | was considering
what. I'd better say, the clock
struck three and | bounced out

she followed me to my bedroom
while | got my coat, and 1t was
she who exclaimed. why, there's
Mrs. Delario's slipper! She's
hunted everywhere for it. You
picked 1t up at the customs house
and put 1t in your suit case. I'll
take 1t back to her."

don't know which is hers-I see
Mrs. Jimmson has mixed them all
up"
ooh, I can soon tell" and
Claire was about to pounce on
them, but I headed her off.
THAT Is matter for me to
attend to Claire, and entirely be-
tween Mrs. Delario and myself"
| said.
The girl blushed furiously and
begged my pardon. Hearing the
elevator stopping at the floor,
shooed Claire and bolted for it.
Now I'd looked at the slippers
as Claire spoke, and they were
standing heel to the wall, be-
tween a pair of oxford ties and
pair of bath slippers that were
toe to the wall, as were all the
rest but those three slippers.
But here's the uncanny thing
that happened: When I got home
one hour after seeing them that
way and turned on the light, my
eyes fell upon the slippers; they
were all three toeing the wall.

1t gave me such a shock that I
sat flop down on the bed. So far
as | knew, not a human soul had
entered during my absence.
That same evening another
thing happened that annoyed
though 1t didn't alarm me. l was
awakened about half past two by
the sound of a key in the front
door-some one was trying to get
in.

that he never stopped ascending
stairs until he reached the top,
and as my flat directly CORE
sponded with his on the lower
floor, he tried to get in with his
key.
You're trying to get in the
wrong flat - yours is down
stairs" I cried.
The key slid out of the lock
and there wasn't another sound.

moments and fell asleep, dream
ing about slippers.

And l had before me the un-
pleasant task of explaining the
loss to Mrs. Delario. That same
day l received a letetr from her
asking me would l do her a great
favor-would come to her house
the next Sunday evening at eight
o'clock?
l went-but what with Mrs.
Delario leading me into the Sc
ance room Claire had told me
about, and my establishment at
seeing it, slippers didn't occur to
me and the chance to speak of
them went by.
Dark thick curtains concealed
the windows that Claire said were
always tight-shuttered even in
the daytime. The only door was
the one by which we had en-
tered.
But Mrs. Delario left me but
little time for observations: she
asked If I'd seen Claire and what
/ thought of her.
Then while I was considering
my answer, Mrs. Delario pro-
pounded a question that fairly
stunned me: do you think the
girl could be a theft"
| could as soon have thought
my own sister a thief. Neverthe-
less, | was soon at a loss to ex-
plain the episodes Mrs. Delario
told me.
