Ing you the address OF my sister" he
explained. 'She is a widow, young,
lonely. l am sure she would find you
a brighter home than this wretched
place."
Then Madam Jacobs came in. The
young man stated his business. He
was Arlo Willis, his sister was Mrs.
Ivan Neal. The latter had removed
from former home. A great part of
it's old furniture, the varied contents
of a lumber room, had been sold.
Among some papers, old papers that
had been thrown out from the old
furniture, was a certain document the
caller wished to recover.
The secondhand dealer who had
bought the stuff had informed him
that all the old carpets, rags and pa
per had been sold to Jacobs. Could
madam recall the transaction, Mr..
Willis inquired quite anxiously.
Scarcely" she told him, but the
watchful Floribel noted a quick eager
CLEAN in her basilisk eyes. 81 will
search, though" she promised, "and
let you know. The document, sir"
rs number of folded blue sheets,
tied with a faded white ribbon. 1t
is marked "W."
81 will report to you," pledged ma
dam, and took his card, and he left
the gruesome place, but not until he
had bestowed a kindly parting glance
at Floribel.
Then she dreamed. All life seemed
radiant. It was as if some royal
prince had entered a squalid Cinder-
ella hut, leaving behind him a rare
memory of bewildering sensations.
Poor child! Love budded in her ten
der heart, in her very, humility she
worshiped at its shrine.
Floribel treasured the card. She
memorized the names upon it. Could
the vision indicated by her courteous
visitor ever come true? To have such

When her husband came home she
held spirited, low-toned conversa-
ton with him. Then both of them
proceeded to ransack pile after pile
of hitherto unassorted wreckage.
A quick token of interest came into
the mind of Floribel, as she saw them
Fastening to the wretched room dig
nified as the Office of,the old topping
warehouse. The names of willis,
''NeaP' floated to her hearing, eau
tiously spoken. She gained a court
where she could overhear what was
said.
ITS the paper" she heard the ma.
dam say, land it is worth a fortune. -,
How do you know" spoke the
rasping tones of old Jacobs. ~
L have read it. A family secret,
man-an old scandal that these rich
people would surely give fortune to
suppress. All, we are rich, rich, rich
at lastr'
Guileless as to the ways of the
world as FloTibel was, she realized
from what followed that her avari-,
cious guardians were bent on a vast
'blackmailing scheme. Her mind woke
up to the immensely of the occasion.
To celebrate their discovering
fortune the old man and woman sent
out for liquor. 1t was long after dark
when they sank into sodden sleep
F1oribel approached the recumbent
madam.
She had noticed where she had Sc
creted the blue colored document,
with white ribbon encircling it, just,
as Mr.. Willis had described. Her
eyes grew brilliant as two stars as,
she secured the precious paper She
thrust it into her bosom.
Over and over again she repeated
the name and address that Arlo Willis
had written on the card.
F1oribel rarely went out of the
wretched building where she had
