under here. Never mind, Senorita, as if she might protest. What vol desire is a veil. The scarf is veil and the name Basara, perhaps. 50 also, the name Ysabel Flor es, anG her personality, which you are at liberty to make as delightful as you please.

 "One thing, however, it will be well for you to remember, and that is that your arrest will not occur as the result of some casual dis covery. It will come only should the police be tipped off as to the rest of us, or should I turn you over to the authorities. This er- rand of trust is simple.

 Molly came at three, bringing some dresses from which Juanita might choose. Molly prattled brave ly, holding the dresses up for Jua- nita's inspection.
