well, Madge! The trick is turned!'
Lillian's voice held gratified triumph
as, after coming swiftly into my DON
and locking the door behind her, she
came up to me, put her hands on my
shoulders, and uttered her cryptic little
sentence.
1t was the morning of the fourth day
following the dramatic exit of the man,
Smith, from the ~neighborho0d and,

long telegram. Want to read it,"
She was so matter-of-fact that [ had
no suspicion of anything out of the
ordinary as she put some telegraph
blanks into my hand. And then as /
scanned seemingly minute data con-
corning the yield of wheat and other
crops of a Canadian farm with direc-
tons for the negotiation of a sale of
the property, / looked up at her in
amazement, to see her lips twisting

"Later, I'd like to take a whirl at de-
coding it, but that can wait"
Il think you'd enjoy it," she said,
"but here's. the news. The gifted Mr..
Smith led them a long and merry chase,
through the Adirondacks and up into
Canada. He's at a hotel just now in
one of the smaller cities, but Allen
thinks he's going to buy a country place
near by and settle down for awhile. At
any rate, he's safe for a few weeks,

smiled. 'Dr. Petit is just waiting the

smiled as I remembered her insistence
upon other people taking remedies, as
contrasted with her own hatred of
medication.
This will mean Katherine going.

Tomorrow, no doubt"
"Shall we be able to see herr"
"Of course, but it's going to be a
ticklish performance to manage. I've
