USUAL SWIFTNESS TO FIND
OUT ALL ABOUT THE
STRANGE WOMAN

The boys will be here in an
hour" Lillian announced gayly,
coming back into the library where
Katherine Sonnet and I had been
waiting while she telephoned Dicky
and Jack TO come to dinner. What's
the matter with Jack. Katherine?
He acted as if ne had a chronic
crouch. II was only when L told
him you were confidently expecting
him that he showed any symptoms
Of ordinary friendliness."
oh. Lillian, you didn't tell him
that?" Katherine exclaimed in dis
tress.
Lillian gave her a quick keen look.
I'm sorry. dear" she said gently.

vice and don't let pTiSA& stand in the
way of happiness"
Her voice was infinitely sad. and
I knew that she was thinking of the
happiness that was denied her, not
because of her pride, but because of
the fate that linked her to Harry
Underwood. who not only had cur
rishly deserted her for Grace ORA
per, but who, she strongly suspected

stormy petrol in treachery to his
country.

tears which she turned aside to hide.

She stood with her head bent for a
moment, locking and unlocking her
fingers. then straightener herself
and spoke rapidly. first closing the
massive library door.
I've changed my mind about
that nurse" she said at last "I
thought at frst / would try to trap
her while she was searching my
room. and for that reason wanted
YOU. Madge. TO stay in the library all

too dangerous.

She paused. and I was wild 10 ask
her what she meant 10 do But

been a statue for any sign of undue
interest she manifested. and SO kept
