It was incoherent, but rapid; terri

push, and. hardly knowing what I did.
I fed the hOuse-for the second time
in twenty-four hours with a million
dollars worth of diamonds in my
stocking.

ing to encounter-and escape from
a pair of dark-browed villains; / actu-
ally did encounter a delivery boy hop
ping Off his wagon, who almost
knocked me over with his basket and
then berated me soundly for getting in
his road and not looking where l was
going.
My humping into the grocery boy
dislocated the alarm In which l had
left Mrs. Delario, and it didn't seem to
occur to me on the return trip that /
might be followed, or that / should
take at least some small precautions
to elude a possible shadow. My mind
was so engrossed with Mrs. DelariO
and what had happened to her son that
I really quite forgot I had the dia-
monds myself / bought a bunch OF
hyacinths at a florists and left an or.
der at the grOcer's, and 1t wasn't till
I was inside my fiat that the thought
really struck me, I'm the n who Is

1t was too late for me to find out II
I'd been Swallowed home or not.
However, my depression was pres
emily succeeded by a mood Of elation-
at last I was living things! I was en-
joying the game for its own sake. On

II you can get the diamondsl Which
only goes to show what fools some
women can be, sometimes. For If l
meant to hide the diamonds where
they'd be safe, why didn't I take them
instantly to my bank and put them In
a safe-deposit box? A mere man would
have done it on the spur Of the mo-
ment without stopping to think about
It; and the idea never entered my
head. So I let slip my n chance of
something brilliant and did what
ninety-nine out of a hundred other
women would have done under the
same circumstances: l HID THEM IN
MY FLAT. And in that one act l pit
