The funeral Grafton by the Rev. DIR.
Maltby dragged on. Among all his
hearers there was but one who be-
lieved the things he said of Challis
Wrandall, and she was one of two per-
sons who, so they saying goes, are
the last to find a man out; his mother
and his sister. But in this instance
the mother was alone. The silent,
attentive guests on the lower floor
listened in grim approval: DR.. Maltby
was doing himself proud. Not one but
all of them knew that Maltby knew.
And yet how soothing he was.
BY the end of the week the murder
of Challis Wrandall was forgotten by
all save the police. The inquest was
over, the law was baffled, the city was
serenely waiting for its next sensa-
ton. No one cared.
Leslie Wrandall went down to the
steamer to see his sister-in-law off for
Europe.
"Goodby, Miss Castleton," he said,
as he shook the hand of the slim
young Englishwoman at parting.
Take good care of Sara. She needs
a friend, good friend, now. Keep her
over there until she has-forgotten. "
