His Rood sense reasserted itself; he

hard. rhen-though Inspector McGee
was spme minutes in noting 1t con-
sciously--a change crossed the coun'
tenance of Resale LIE Grange. Little

in mouth and chin and dimples. And
she spoke:

Rosalies heart gave little jump.
But she controlled her expression. He
was willing to argue the case-the first
skirmish was won.

The mischief danced In her dimples.
Because you are SO big an mutton

went away. and the eyes again reigned
over her expression. Because you're

That's easy, too," replied MCGEE
