1T is no longer g question Of daring
to revive the Lorimer scandal, nor Of
obeying Benjle's Injunction to hide
the name Of Bab's mother. We have
got to keep our hands OF from the
abductors to save the child's life.
Thus / finished my recital OF what
Berghof had said.
He demands cash?" Bob inquired
."Of course he has the sense to refuse
q check"
I'm to hide, the money in the laby.
rinth where he can get 1t tomorrow.
Bob clenched his fists and swore un-
der his breath. Then he said, Il
guess it's up to you and me to see this
thing through, my love"
And / guess you'd better go back
to your special Job, and wheedle
something out Of Katherine Miller,
l urged. @
So bob went off again that evening,
very dark, lean, scholarly and
rather gloomy Prince Charming. He
was so elegant, and $3.50 ascetic,
so detached from the physical inter-
ests Of existence that / couldn't i'm
agine, except when was very jeal-
Gus, how an earthly creature like
Katherine Miller could possibly want
him around.
/ decided that 1t was the hazard OF
the game whl1h made it interesting
to her. Doubtless she found some
kind of thrill III trying to arouse an
emotion in Bob. In short, she was
an out-and-out coquette.
/ kissed my husband goodbye in my
friendliest fashion, before he went
away to trap the siren into some be-
traying confidence. l thought with
Joy that Bob had hated to go, that he
had said he never would go again
Then wrote to Jim, Jr., setting
down an the facts about Babs as
Berghoff had detailed them, and
warning Jim in words Of his own
vocabulary, not ITO spill the beans" in
any letter to his paretts.
And, of course, as soon as / had
nothing else to do, began to get
morbid about Bob and his mission.
My husband had gone to make love
of l1nd-to that tawny beauty.

The twins were very fond of going
to the store until an old man and
woman With fussy little dog moved
into the house in front of the store.
They didn't know the dog was there
and were coming back from the store
with an arm load apiece Of bundles
when he came barking out the gate.
They started to run, and Patty, who
was quicker than Prissy, pulled her
down on the sidewalk and then emp
tied sack Of lemons over the sidewalk
and burst sack of sugar. After that
when asked to go to the store they
always began, 1--WE amt afraid of the

Peter leased them but mamma, who
remembered when she was little girl
and afraid of lots of things didn't in
sist on 1t, but made Peter go instead.
One day Petef had gone to the farm
with Hal and his father. Jane came
downstairs with a worried face,
"Your mother has an awful head
ache and asked for cup of tea. There

began the twins as usual. Then they
stopped and looked at each other-"so
guess we'll &c" finished Prissy.
They took the money Jane held out
and started OF hand in hand before
they lost courage. The dog was not
in sight as they went down so they
bought the tea quickly and hurried
back hoping to miss him. But just as

The fear came back to me and sub
merged me. tried to rise above 1t,
but It .gripped me as an undertoW
clutches drowning man.
That far-off evening by the four-
tain, Bob had been a man with a
dead soul, or a soul asleep so far as
the love OF woman was concerned.
At that time, he had not been actually
tempted, as an average man would
have been tempted
But now Bob was different! re-
allied the fact with horror!
His sick mind was cured. He could
feel the lure Of love once more!
And myself had sent him to fiat

head and muttered, Nothing doing!"
Then he turned to me with a query
he had never put to me before:
"Jane, darling! If / were a poor
man, would you still love me?"
And, of course, cuddled up in his
arms and wept my heart out on his
shoulder, and murmured:
"oh, Bob! How could you! How
could you ask thatl"
But in a recess Of my mind, 1 saw
very clearly how he had come to
doubt me.
Every word Of Katherine MilleTs
love letter to my husband was stamp
