Hazard ignored this dig.
There's the off-chance that Edward

about the message on Miss Gray's

astonishment.

tive's grave regard. How did Edward
know-where did he learn the checks

Felix Hazard shook his head. That's
immaterial low. The important fact
is that he did know about it, and his
efforts to unearth the hiding place
confirm our conclusion that the treas

it first-or, watch your cousin, and in

though, to throw the matter into the

Miss Gray was still standing close
to Hazard, and in sudden burst or
enthusiasm she impnlsively caught his
hands in both of hers.
