"And is there nothing that

She rose to her feet and
then 7 saw her sway slightly
and her eyes grow distended as
they rested on one Of the
French windows leading into
the garden.
My gaze followed hers, just
in time to see the outline Of q
white face pressed against the
pane. I saw only the general
outline, but it was certainly q
face.

I shouted. Somebody's there

In one instant we were all

mo, not exactly. I do know
it was valuable, though"
did Mrs. Paige ever tell you
that it was not a genuine jewel
at all but simply an imitar

sharply. '"That pendant was
not imitation. I know some
thing about gerns-that was q
very good pearl although not
large"
But Anderson made no effort
to clear up his mysterious QueS-
ton. He merely smiled and
started off on another tack.
"I'l ask you about something
elSe," he said easily. Nov I
don't want you to think that I
am questioning Mrs. Paige's
honor in any way, but I should
like very much to know If she
had any admirers, anyone who
might have done this thing out
Of revenge or jealousy"
And now, closely observing
Mrs. Phelps, I was certain that I
saw q certain shadow Of fear
In her eyes. Instead Of answer
ing she pressed her handker-
chief to her face and began
to sob.
Anderson waited patiently.
"It's a very important queS-

Mrs. Deane tells me that
you spent the evening here

Eyes, that is quite true.
Sunny telephoned me herself
about half-past five and said
that Ranny had been delayed
in Washington and invited me
to come over. Mr.. Phelps Is
away In the West and was
alone so that I was very glad
to come"
"You and Mrs. Paige were
friends?"
I'VE were very close friends
although I had known her
only since her marriage when
she came here to live"
Did she have any enemies

mo, indeed. Everybody loved
her"
'Now, Mrs. Phelps, suppose
you tell US just how you found
Mrs. Paige that last night. You
came alone, Of course?"

over in my own car. Sunny
seemed rather depressed and
upset but I attributed that to
