ting my thoughts and experiences
down on your white pages makes me
see with clarity my mistakes, my sins
of omission and commission.
am quite sure any one who could

other idea of Margie Waverly from
the one the world sees every day.
Today the world that is cOgnizant Of
my existence is seeing a composed
Margie Waverly calmly going about
nursing a very seriously i'll husband.
Members of my little world come
into my pretty sun room and tell me
about the sensation Malcolm StuaTt's
death made
The will was prObated today"
said Eliene when she came in to see
me yesterday, and it was a queer
one, Margie. Do you know it was
made the day Malcolm Stuart was
drOwned?"

Knowing Malcolm Stuart as I did I
expected he had made some pTOvi-
sion in it for me. You see, he seemed
so sure on that last day that l would
go away with him, But Eliene went
on, unconscious of my beating heart
which was clamOring so loudly that l
thought she must hear it.
Malcolm left everything he had
in the world to DR.. Virot, she con-
tinued, the will says 'unconditiOn-

doctor was the only real friend he
ever possessed and since he had no
relatives living he wanted his money.
