guardians OF the course-three

business TO call attention to its
wares. ". L. Peeler. president OF

to the new house. He went straight to
Sibyl and spoke to her quietly, but so
that the others might hear.
"when you said that II I'd stop 10

that Bibbs had given up the mysteri-

She thought II was the wisest thing he
could have done-and yet, for an un-
known reason. she sat upon the bed
and wept little before she went down

So Sheridan had his way with Bibbs,
