The Joy ofLiving

The whirr of a motor interrupted
him. A large automobile was ap-
preaching up the park road. Aimee
looked at 1t. Such an expression of
horror came over her features that
Billy was startled.

"That's absolutely torn it," said
Aimee in strangled tones.
"Eh!"

Aimee Owed back into the room like
a rabbit retreating into it's burrow.
The automobile swept up to the main
entrance; the Very Reverend Lord
Scroope descended.

Lord Scroope, emitting any greeting,
regarded her iXedly.

Lady Erythea received the news with

Lord Scroope deliberately placed q
pair of gold-rimmed pince-nez on his
nose and stared at his sister-in-law.
"The news of this engag cement" he
said earnestly, 'is unwelcome to me.
Entirely unwelcome"
Lady Erythea stiffened in every limb.
Her ear-trumpet was presented in one
hand; with the other she raised her
lorgnettes and directed them at Lord

Of his partner. After lingering for
some time near the most likely haunts,
Billy sighed and retreated to the
garage.
He had not been there long when
Aimee's face appeared furtively round
the angle of the door.
"Hello!" she said, stepping inside.
She halted, and they looked at each
other obviously. Aimee was decidedly
pale, her eyes pathetic and rather
frightened.
81 couldn't help it, Billyw she said
suddenly.
Couldn't help what?'
"You saw us getting away, didn't
you? And the girl-and the Sphinx?

quietly, "but guess it isn't hard to see
how things were. You might as well
tell me, though"
Aimee, very gloomily, described her
encounter with Calamity Kate.

She broke down and began to cry
quietly.
That's how 1t was. Are you very

Lord ScroOpe, very pale, drew deep
breath, and gave prolonged shudder.
"B-Mr. Spencer told me I'd got to
go back and make a clean breast of 1t
all. He wanted to tell you. But didn't
dare. l refused to let him say any

day, and the police have got him. No

Aimee painted like a deer at bay.

tears.
There was a stunned silence. For
once speech denied itself even to Lady
Erythea. Georgina was sobbing gently
in the chair. Alexander still stood over
her and said nothing.

get a profitable price on farm"
The prices named include: II
Gems for hogs, ~ cents for fat steers
