Revelations of a
Wife
A SUDDEN THOUGHT

Katie must have watched me return
the lavalliere back to the box and put
the key away without me knowing it.
Then in my absence she must have
opened the box. The haste with which
the ornament was thrust back showed
that she had been afraid of my sud
den return. She evidently had had
no chance to return the things as she
had found them.
sudden thought struck me. Wheth-
err she intended to steal the lavalliere
or only to put it back in its place, she
would probably return to the apart
ment in the Afternoon when she was
sure both Dicky and | would be away.
She had the key to the kitchen door.
OF course | could not risk that. I con-
sidered a moment | knew that she
had a cousin on the East side some
where, with whom she had lived be-
fore coming to me. So | would not
be doing wrong in barring her for the
night Then in the morning | could
probe the matter. | did not want to
lose Katie, but of course If she were
dishonest I would have to let her go.
fastened my lavalliere and put on
my hat and cloak. The lock box I
placed in my trunk, locked the trunk,
and put the trunk key and my latch

Then drawing on my gloves | went to

through my apartment again to the
