LETTER FROM SALLY ATHER TON TO LESLIE PRESCOTT
 -'ONTINIID,

Of course. Leslie, in answer 10 the question, whether she would ever love her baby, l told Dick that Bee would surely come to herself and love the baby very soon. At that moment fortunately, the physician arrived for " hom they had sent, and we both told him that We were sure that Bee was not in her right mind
 He looked at us as though he vas sure that we had gone suddenly ln- sane. but rather than discuss the matter with us, he said.
 "IIl go in and see her immediate ly, and I'll tell you what l think after I've heen in there,'
 He came out at the end of about fifteen minutes and said My dear Mir. Summers, your wife is perfectly s sane. She is suffering from the re- action that many young women have after the birth of their first child. The event makes a great change in any woman's life, you Eno", hut ] have examined her very carefully and l find that physically she is not losing at aiI,"
 Do not worry, she will he all right"

 interrupted her ruthlessly' Be fore we plan any more about taking turns on this thing I'm going to get Katherine in here" l said, "Oh! not to st in judgment on you'--as saw her quick frown -- but be- cause she has a problem of her own on hand with Fanny Powell

 quickly recounted the warning Lee Chow had sent Katherine through me and Lillian nodded q quick comprehending assent.
 "The head of that old Chinese holds something besides oatmeal that's been cooked all night she said. And I see your point. As the gifted Mrs. Ticer would quote, we can kill two birds with one stone, or rather watch two with one pair of eyes, Bring Katherine along. She locks the young woman in the room now when she leaves, doesn't she?"
 "Yes, and of course If the girl Is shamming, she hasn't the shadow of an excuse for objecting, for Katherine explained 10 her at length that the locking in was for her own protection if she should have an- other attack of somnambulism, or anything else"
 "Katrina's bean Is always work ing" Lillian said with q little grin of appreciation, and l mentally echoed her comment as l hurried out 10 summon the little nurse. who wasted no time in again locking her ratient in her room, and returning with me to Lillan's,
 We lost no time in working out schedule by which we could take turns watching Fanny Powell and @-+4~~ Steve" which we so feared
 You see" Katherine explained, while I conscientiously couldT't lock that girl in and go into another room 10 sleep while no one was on the job, l can do so when one Of YOU is within hearing; so if she calls out you can summon me.

 For my little maids footsteps came pounding through the hall while her voice called frantically, "Oh! Missus Graham, dot Meredith vomans.'

 Suddenly ranw heard httle ripple in the water. It was dra wing nearer and bearer, Then Danny saw what was making it and it seemed to him as if his heart stood right still.

ready restored him to the semblance of his natural self He had not all tered his features much when he personated Mir Hiram Z Cable, the American connoisseur of old furni- ture. Mir. Honeybun showed by a sickly smile that he recognized the tentative purchaser of his Chippen- dale sideboard and knew him for what he was,
 Listen to me, sir" said Klyne. My friend Inspector Roake is in charge of this case. but few things have come my way as private in yestgator Your son, James Jessick, as he should rightly be called. is dead, killed by the outrageous mon ster who would have killed you but 1 for our intervention. l should re- commend candor, Mir.

 The old man was weeping bitter ly.

 T do. I can show you copy of the marriage certificate granted at the Strand Registry Office"

Danny Meadow Mouse never had made his little legs go faster than he did as he swam 10 escape from LongIegs the Heron, Straight for an old piece of board floating out a little way in the smiling Pool swan Danny. The water Was deep out there. Danny wasn't afraid of drowning, but he was afraid that an enemy d hig, hungry fish or Snapper the Shaping Turtle or Billy Mink. might see him He knew that then he would stand no chance at all.
 Rut no one did see him, and with q little sigh of relief he scrambled out on that piece Of board. IL was plenty big enough to support him. It was a raft for him. But once on that board Danny had new worries. Here there was no grass to hidG him. He was right in plain sight of whoever should happen along. There was just one thing to do. That one thing was to make himself appear as small as possible and to keep perfectly still.
 So Danny didn't even stop 10 dress his fur after its wettng. He crouched in a little heap on that board and thoTe he sat without moving so much as the tip of his little short tail. Once Redtall the Hawk sailed over high above the Smiling Pool. Had Danny moved ever so little those wonderful eyes of Redtai's would have seen that movement and would have recog- nizeds him. But because Danny didn't move all that Redtail saw was 8 little bump. so to speak, on that floating old board. Danny's coat an the old board were almost the same color. It was the last place In the world Redtail expected to see 2 Meadow Mouse, and so he didn't see one.
 But keeping still that way right out in the open was hard work, Yes, indeed, it was hard work, But Danny did it. Little by little that board drifted across the Smiling Pool until 1t reached the rushes. Then it drifted in amongst the rushes little way and stopped. Danny gave a little sigh of relief. Those rushes gave him some pro- tection. He didn't feel that he was quite so much In the open. He felt

 I could not repress little shiver st the case put so baldly. 1illian's quick eye caught 1t and her eye brows drew together involuntariy.
 Look here, Madge! Don't tell mo that pup has you buffaloed!' she exclaimed.
 I flushed and made shame-faced admission.
 T can't deny that I'm little nervous concerning him." ] said,
 "Why?" she demanded bluntly. What do you think he can do. when he does make up his mind that you have the card upon which he sets such store?"
 Her tone, more than her words, was like the flick of whip to my courage. I threw up my head and faced her questioning eyes.
 T shall make it my business to see that he does nothing" l said quietly.
 Lillian struck the palm of one hand with the clenched fist of the other, a little mannerism which al ways indicates her approval of words or actions.
 "You Won't Be Alone" Alta girl" she said, and there was something in the slangy phrase which quickened my pulses and crystallized my determination not to yield again to any fear of what "steve' might do.
 And remember, you won't be alone in the vigil" Lillian said 'It's a cinch if he makes any at tempt to recover that paper, nell do 1t at night. and it simply will mean our taking turns at night watches for while"

'Then We have sinned to no pur- pose" he walled. "I hope that my son did not know that before he died?"
 He did not" Klyne replied, se- cretly glad that he had spared the departed malefactor that knowl- edge.
 T will not put you to the pain of describing your crime" klynes fine voice was very gentle, T have opportunities, denied to Inspector Roake because of his official posi- ton for reconstructing the story of that fatal night. But you would confer a favor on us, Mir. Jessick, if you would describe exactly how Wil1not came into the case. He will have to be tried for your sons mur der also for that of Blissett, Mir. Roake's assistant, and we are not quite clear on all points. A little help from you will enable us to present the case to the court in a proper light. And it won't do you any harm to assist the authorities.
 II add my official endorsement 70 that" said Roake pompously, pro- ducing his notebook. Klyne, in de- scribing the scene afterwards, af- frmed that what surprised him most was the docility with which the Inspector had come to heel like a little dog. He was almost licking his lips at the prospects of the un- earned credit that would accrue to him. The old culprit whom Klyne had re-chrstened Samuel Jessick expressed his willingness to oblige.
 "Wimot, as doubtless you know" he began, was chauffeur to MT. Wilford Symes of Long Paston Manor. On the evening when I and my misguided son set out to wipe off what we thought was an old score against Sir Francis Lathrop Wilmot had driven Mir. symes to a dinner-party some way off. Expect ing to be late and to be brought home by friend, Mir. Symes sent Wilmot back with the car which like my sons. happened to be a vel low one. Wilmot was passing alonf the lane behind the Grange ant saw Sir Francis get into our car which we had left in the lane while we went up to the house to persuade Sir Francis 10 accompany us home to inspect some antique furniture When we had had our way witl him we returned, and, backing thu car against the boundary wall, fiunE the body over into the grounds where it was eventually found"
