In the attic, Bertholdi was still at
work, keeping her eyes open to exc
cute the mission on which Del Mar
had sent her.
Rusty, forgotten in the excitement
by Jennings, had roamed at will
through the house and seemed quite
interested. For this was the trunk be-
hind which he had his cache of treas
ures.
AS Bertholdi started to move behind
the trunk, Rusty could stand 1t no
longer. He darted ahead of her into
his hiding place. Among the dog bis

which he had dug up from the palm
pot in the conservatory. He seized

saw what 1t was Rusty had, and
grabbed at 1t.

her prize in triumph and turning it
