Well. of course, hadn't meant any
thing so serious as that when l spoke,
but seeing that she was very much In
earnest let 1t pass and told her the
story Of the ring. II is a pleasantly
romantic tale, the curious escapes from

the rings possession giving you the
feeling that it's lucky.
Mrs. Delario listened, and when
had finished she burst out, I'm mad

Mrs. Delario had Claire In charge
shed better take the child home with
her and cable to the father for instruc

The slipper was all this while in my
hand, and without giving it another
thought-indeed, hardly being con-
sclous what l did, stuffed it in

went. Wasn't 1t. under the circum-
stances. a perfectly natural thing to
do? Well. the moral is ''don't"-don't
every carry off an old slipper unless
you're sure it's yours. That old slip
per nearly cost me my sanity and my
life!
Now, when unpacked I found the
slipper, but even then 1t didn't occur
to me that 1t wasn't mine-I merely
wondered how I'd lost the mate, and 1t
was a couple of days before l got to
the bottom Of the other suitcase and
found my own pair neatly done up In
tissue paper. OF course knew In
stantly that the old slipper was Mrs.
DelariO's, and remembered then how
I'd carried 1t off; but l didn't have
box suitable for sending it through the
mail to her, so l set II on a chest
where I'd be sure to see II and not let
il get mixed with mine, meaning to
take II down TO the house as soon as
| could find time for ii. And thus
several more, days went by, and
forgot the slipper and that Mrs. Jimm-

sense enough to see it was an odd
slipper and leave it on the chest
where she found II, but you never
can tell what anybody will do-per-
hapS she'd have done just the same If
I'd told her not to: for she mixed
those slippers up and set them in a
row beside my bed along with oxford
ties and bath slippers.
II was on the day that Mrs. Jimm-
son cleaned that Claire came tripping
up to see me and tell me that her ia
