CHAPTER THIRTEEN

DERYL no longer showed any
ID particular interest in the daily
mails. She had asked the postman
who delivered at both the store and
the house to leave all her mail at
the former place, to insure it
against falling into Irenes hands.
Whether a letter from Mr.. Barn
hoff would be opened and read by
her sister was a question on which
Berry, did not care to gamble.
But One day when the postman
was sorting out the store mail she
told him he needn't bother about
her personal letters. He could
leave them at the house as before.
"All right" he said, "but here's
one for you now"
Beryl accepted the letter listless-
" and only happened to glance at
the senders address in the upper
left hand corner. Then her heart
seemed to turn complete somer-
sault.
Good news, eh?" the postman
laughed. He had known Beryl since
childhood and could take liberties
with her mail.
Having read the name and address
that so excited her, he was inter
ested to know more about the letter
Il don't know, Johnny" Beryl re-
piled, rapidly tearing open the en-
.velope.
Well, you're registering pleasure,
sure enough"
wait a minute, and maybe I'll
tell you" she promised. Eagerly
she unfolded the sheet of writing
paper and scanned its contents,
skipping the salutation and get
ting at once to the message it car
ried.
Good fortune-or bad?"
"Well?" the postman pressed.
TELL me quick. I've got heavy
load this morning"
Beryl was dancing around in
circles, waving the letter over her
head.

cried. 'I'm =" Then she re-
menbered that she had sworn her
