THE VENGEANCE OF HENRY JARROMAN

was ready a full week before the
wedding. Jarroman had added
nfty per cent to the contract
price in consideration of a speed
which the firm maintained was
totally impossible. and then pro-

Then came the task Of moving
the furniture into it and arrang.

he demanded her presence at
lunch, and for reasonable
time afterwards.
