as she might she could bring no smI,e

made her bristle with resentment.

parole and when she failed to repor,
the police were directed to arrest her
on sight. AS had made the original

Mrs. Lake tried to shrink into the

no harm in my visit, and a good deal
of unpleasant notoriety will have been

''You were right in coming here
instead of dragging my wife to Police

Carroll eyed Mrs. Lake as If he

Margaret Case of New York. Is that
