Why Lillian Said "You Must Go To
The Library Tomorrow Morning"
This is simply wonderful luck,

Lillian was radiant as / finished
telling her of Williams adventures
with the pseudo peddler whose address
he had overheard by chance.
"This will mean eventually the
rounding up of all OF them, and most
particularly Grace Draper" she went
on. II didn't have any real proof that
she was mixed up in the business be-

at night. get you up in the morning,
dine with you, even dance with you If

One word of her reply stood out in
terrifying fashion.
"a year," 1 repeated mechanically.
In my ignorance I had hoped that the
desperate man over whose hand had
thrown carbolic acid when he was at

asked kindly.

II wish it could be managed, for
your sake" she said regretfully, then

whose identity we discover have all
the rope they need. BY following their
trail unsupported by them they lead

A little spasm of pain crossed her
face and she left the sentence unfin-

Harry Underwood would in ell proba-

to face, this prospect of being instru-
