Is There Heartbreak In This letter.

faithful performance Of his mission.

with kindly smile "But | want YOU
TO be very sure Of one thing This

envelope before his cycs--"you are

Certain sure. ma'am Didn't | Just

That's all right William" Lillian
interrupted "Now that is all You
may go ont now and look around the
hospital grounds for awhile | will
call you when We are ready for you
to 90 back home"
"Yes, ma'am, thank you, ma'am,"
William returned, hobbing his head with
ono of his funny little gestures and
making Decline for the door, evidently
filled with Joyous relief
We waited until the door was securely
closed behind him Then our laughter
could no longer he restrained.
y "Just imagine your mother-in-law
saying; Tell her you don't know nothin',

eyes
"My imagination and admiration are

with one of the expressions which used

but to which I've grown accustomed.

this lowering OF my standards Of de-
corum in speech has been good for me.
"But let's get back on the job" Lii
lian went on briskly "Of course,
you're wondering why | put poor old
William through such tremendous
cltcchlsm. but when tell you that this
letter is addressed to Mr. Richard Gra-

mered, all my ethical code upset at this
cool proposition 10 open a private let
ter addressed TO my husband
Shocked" Lillian asked lightly, but
there was a note behind the lightness
that suddenly made me feel humiliatod.
After all, it was Lillian who was pro-
posing to open the letter, Lillian, who
in all my knowledge of her had never
done anything which wasn't perfectly
honorable
Il would be IL it were any one but
you who proposed it, answered truth
fully, but | know you have some good
reason for your proposal"
"Ihe best. my dear" she returned
laconically. "The superscription on this
letter is in the same handwriting as
those beastly anonymous things which
caused you so much pain"
Her words almost made me feel
faint, for they recalled the terror and
the pain ! had suffered because Of the
anonymous eplstlcs to which she re-
ierrcd, clippings purportng to tell me
Of the shameful death OF my father
Because of Harry Undcrwood's covert
assurance that the anonymous threats,
which he tactitly admitted came from
the hand OF Grace Draper, had not been
carried out, ! had experienced some
alienation OF the keen anguish which
the clippings had brought to me But

Ian laid the envelope in it, and
scanned it searchingly.
Yes, thert was no mistake. The super
scription was in the same uniformed
characters, evidently those OF a child
that had marked the envelope enclosing
the series Of anonymous clippings
couldn't repress a gieam of admiration
for the cleverness OF Grace Draper. She
had sent cheap envelopes to me, count
ing on woman's curiosity to open the
ill-favored things. But she evidently
knew Dickey's careless ways well
enough to know that he might toss aside
the cheap envelope, so she had chosen
the distinctivtly feminine costly paper
for the Turing OF his eyes.
