icallp wrong by Lillian's manner, but the
thing implied by this salutation made
me feel fairly Ill.
1t was not the form of the words that
sickened me-Lillian would probably
have addressed letter to Dickey in the
same manner-but the influence the con-
veyed of a friendship which not even my
husbands knowledge of the girls infamy
had affected.
She had tried to murder me, she had
shot Dickey and herself in the dramatic
interview she had staged after her at
tempt to drown rne, and her open asso-
citation with Harry Underwood-Dickey's
friend and Lillians husband-was a
shameful thing. And with my husbands
knowledge Of all this, this letter to him
in her chirography began in this init
mate, familiar fashion.
My eyes sought Lillian's. She was
watching me soberly, and there was a
thought Of mournfulness in her gaze.

quietly, and 1 turned my eyes again to
the letter.
