went for her, Sonia stood in the
library, near the telephone. Just

There was no one. 1t was a chance.
She picked up the receiver.
Instantly she recognized Ram
says voice. Scarley was dead! At
the same moment she heard Doris
and the butler on the stairs. She
did some quick thinking, hung up,
and hurried from the telephone just
as Doris entered with a puzzled
look at her position.
Mr.. Ramsay just telephoned,' she
explained. "He wants you and me
to go over to DR.. Scarley's."
In great excitement Doris accom-
panied Sonia out to the waiting cab.
Sonia and Doris hurried out,
Doris urging haste and not MOTTO
ing Sonia's crafty triumph, as they
entered a limousine.
As she closed the door the butler
turned back and heard the telephone
in the library ringing. Ramsay had
been trying to get back the connec-
ton that had been broken, but it
had taken some time before he
could get the operator to ring again.
The butler hurried to the telephone
and answered.

NO, SIR" replied the butler. Miss
Doris went out somewhere with the
Countess Sonia-I thought to meet
you. sir.
