When Bill had left the room, mother
and daughter stared at each other
with puzzled eyes. He turned down

"and he'll never get another offer.

to me- Mr.. Romibold, of all men"
The next evening Bill came in with
an earnest face, but his eyes shone
like searchlights His monther and

to him.
Bill looked straight at Lila. you
wouldn't believe that my radio was
worth anything, would you? Well,

at all, it's mystery to me-"
