he began to take an interest in me.

he wrote to me about great func-

when things puzzled him he wrote,

came to me and offered me a great
sum Of money for those letters.
81 refused. ! don't think they
would have found the letters inter-
esting anyway, do you?"
And then she asked me TO read
them, and there they were-bril-
liant. clever, insinuating. cautious,
careful. I'll warrant he kept q
copy of every one, and knows,
when he wants to look at his fle..
every word In every letter. No

you.
