Letter From Leslie Prescott to Lesli' Prescott, Care the Secret Drawer,
 Continued

l want to ask you, gay little Mar auise, if ever in your brilliant and interesting life you had anything that seemed quite as much like one of the coincidences with which fate over powers one as did that unexpected visit of Karl Whitney?
 Although neither Johns mother nor Priscilla Bradford had said anything directly, I felt as though in some way they connected that string of pearl beads with Karl Whitney. Perhaps 1t vas because l could not get it out of my head either that he was in some way connected with that, that l grew faint and I knew I was very pale when his name was announced,
 How strange" said Mrs. Prescott, that a man should call upon you at this late hour"
 Tt isn't man. 1 broke in i'm potuously; its Karl Whitney," And went to the door to meet him.
 Because they had been so insinuat- ing and suspicious. l knew that l greeted Karl much more warmly than 1 would have done otherwise, and besides I. too, was rather curi- ous about his comin,
 What is the natter" I asked. Isn't everyone well?"
 'I think so,' answered Kari, but ] had business in the city which is just beyond this little town and as had received wireless from Alice today l thought would stop and tell you about it.
 Come in. want to introduce you to John's mother"
 Karl followed me into the room and you can imagine my surprise

| and anger, gay little Marquise, when we went from the hall to the sitting room, to find that neither Mrs. Pres cctt nor Priscilla were there. | It was the most deliberate insult have ever encountered in my life. Mrs. Prescott's bedroom is directly of the living room and I went to the door which I noticed had been left aJar. I rapped with such violence that 1t opened fully and disclosed the two women standing in the middle of the room.
 Come and meet my childhood friend, Karl Whitney. Karl, I want you to know Mrs. Prescott"
 Are you sure, Mrs. Prescott, that ycu are able to meet yisitors?" spoke up Priscilla Bradford.
 At that l saw red. Please allow Mrs. Prescott to be her own judge. Miss Bradford, as to whether she will deliberately insult her sons wife or follow the nasty backbiting, sus- picious program that you have laid out for her ever since my marriage"
 Leslie, Leslie, what do you mean?" said Mrs. Prescott. her eyes flashing
 "I mean exactly what I say. That woman has always wanted to marry your son and she has spied upon mo ever since 1 was married. She has turned my most innocent acts into something sinister in your mind"
 Did John show you my last let ter?"
 No. he did not. but I know her well enough to know exactly what she, was doing. Either she leaves this house tonight or I leave it.
 Kari, is your car at the door?"
 Poor Kari, It took all my anger away to see his face. I knew that he vas wishing with all his heart that he | had never come to see me.
