Mary's Telegram to Veritzen

At Lillian's announcement that we

She indicated the way he was to

he evidently recognized, and having
tipped the porter followed us
through the door which Mr.. Verit-

holding open for us.
Mary, however, had not his rea-
son for self-control, and when the
closed door had shut us off from
the possibility of being overheard
by the chauffeur, she broke into ex-
cited calculations.

at you Auntie Madge's disposal to-
day to welcome you home"
You are signally honored, Mary"
Dicky said coldly, and noticed that
he kept his eyes carefully averted
from mine. Il never know Mr..

Reddy.
"Oh, no, wouldn't say that" re-
piled Graywing good naturally. NO,
indeed. He has tail, and very
useful tail it is"
