Back on the beach, Mary watched

"As near as | can make out" Mary
answered slowly, the person who
stole the animal cut the rope with
scissors and had a mark of some kind
on the back of her hand"
"A mark" the policeman jumped
eagerly at tho word, Say, was 1t a

Pietro excitedly.

Certainly" the old woman replied
promptly. Il remember distinctly

Mary, apparently thought deeply for

said Lamar quietly. Sergeant, will
