 Sally's rage broke from her control You're just too cute. November Joe. she hlazed "With your tracking and , finding out things and putting Val n :. iai, What do you say to it that I've ! been fooliug you all the time; never lost no belts, ] only said it Go get tho 1 laugh against ye.

 "Yes. and I'm going into Layettr this minute Co tell them"
 Joe stepped m front of her. "Just as you like. Sally Bur how'I ye eN plain these:' He flung open the bun dle or skins he carried

 "On his back"
 She hpsitated moment. then. "l gave Val that lot' she said carelcssly
 That's queer. now said Joe. "cos 1t was on lnjm Sylvester found them."
 Sally stared at Joe. then laughed suddenly, excitedly. "Oh. Joe. you're | sure the cutest man ever made in this world" And with that she flung her i arms round his neck and kissed him. I'd best pass that on to Val Black. said Joe calmly.

 have never looked forward Co any
 explanation more than that which
 November gave to Mrs. Roue, Black
 and myself the same evening.
 'It was the carcass of Rizpah give
 me the first start" said Joe. As soon
 as | saw that knew it weren't Val"
 "Why?' asked Sally
 You remember it was hacked mp?
 Now here was the case up to that: A
 thief had robbed Sally. and all the
 sign he left behind was a few threads
 or his necker and an English made
 cartridge. The thief goes out, and old
 Rizpah attacks him. He shoots her.
 Then he cuts her body nigh to pieces. WhyT We all shook our heads Because he wants 10 get his bullet out of her. And why does he want to
 get his bullet? Only one possible req
 son. Because it's different to the bull let he dropped on purpose in the house"

 cartridge. fuuuier still that he should . not notice he'd left bit of bis neckel stuck Co the nails on the door. Still ? I'd allow them two things might hap pen But when it came to his having
