accepted Captain Waite's invitation to
a picnic. Another ran:
Ny dear Captain Waite: That will be de-
lightful! I'm dying for good gallop. Shall
expect you at three. Faithfully,
FANNIE RAYBuRN.
Another, signed "Fannie r., briefly and
prettily acknowledged some flowers. Two
were signed merely with the initials F. r.,
and meant nothing without a clue, which
the readers did not have. Apparently one
of them said yes to some proposal, and
another no. But the sixth note was quite
different. The writing showed haste. 1t
read:
Am sending this privately by G. Oh why
did you not come? You must l must see
you! If you do not come to me shall go to
you l beg of you on my knees. If you
ever loved me, come at once.
1t was not signed at all, but the writing
identified it. The other object in the safe
was a stiff, square envelop addressed to
Captain Adoniram Waite, and inclosing
an invitation, printed in quaint script,
whereby the Misses Shelby begged the
honor of Captain Waites presence at
dance to be given at the Knolls, Mark
ham, Kentucky, February the twenty
fifth, eighteen hundred and seventy-one.
There was nothing to show why that
should have been treasured; but it re-
minded them of Captain Waite's last will
and testament, bequeathing the larger
part of his fortune to the Shelby School.
"Well, by Jove! Who'd have thought
it?' exclaimed Bob Thatcher, in kind of
half-incredulous awe, as he finally laid the
square white envelop with the other finds.
Then professional instinct arose.
81 say! That would make corking
story if we could piece it out" he ex-
claimed eagerly. "There's that unex-
planned bequest in the will. We could
start with the theory that the lady in the
daguerreotype had some connection with
the Shelby School, and that's the reason
Captain Waite left it his money. That
would make good line to hang the story
on. We could lug in the old Civil War
time society stuff, with it's hoop-skirts and
plug hats and dead-and-gone swells. That
used to be the great stuff down here, you
know-before Tom Keith showed 'em how
to make an automobile every other min
ute and Mrs. Weston built greenhouse
that covered three acres. We could get
lot of pictures and spread it over couple
of pages of the Sunday supplement- Let's
see what old Tith knows about it."
The professional instinct having been
aroused, he was at once the brisk and
unsentimental editorial dynamo of the
Bridges-Teller-Th combination. 1t
was a cardinal principle with him that
corking stories were to be published re-
gardless of anybody's foolish sensibilities
"Id as lief rob bank in daylight as sup
press good story" he had more than
once declared. at wouldn't be any more
