He nodded, and rose quietly.

He was on his knees, his face

So Juliet began, and as she
read letter after letter in a
voice filled with little violin
notes, the subject matter grew
duller and duller.
Madame Hubert's sharp in.
terjections struck through each
letter like sharp arrows. She
commanded O'Hara to take
note of this, Won Guerdon to
act upon that. There were
pointed instructions to Juliet,

CHAPTER Xxx

The last letter of the pile was
evidently from a woman for it
was in a pink envelope and ad.
dressed with a fattish handwrit-
ing. The only thing that gave it
distinction was the word "Per-
Sonal" written diagonally across
the envelope and underlined
three times.
Dear Madame" it began
innocently enough, but Juliet's
eyes were attracted immedi.
ately, as if by some malignant
influence, to the signature:
Sincerely yours, Mrs. Gerald
McSpadden."
The very words had q plump
and florid look as though they
were uncomfortably stuffed
with spite and vituperation.
Juliet folded the sheet.
'No use bothering with this
one," she said, her cheeks prick.
ling. ut belongs in my depart
ment."
What is it?" inquired
Madame Hubert sharply.
"Oh, it's nothing, just a
woman wants to know the cost
of a permanent wave"
1t was a simple little lie and
ordinarily would have fooled
anyone. But Juliet was habitu-
ated to telling the truth and
unfortunately her color had
changed, a trifling flush yet
Madame Hubert caught it. Pos
sibly the sharp-minded old
woman thought the letter was a
complaint that Juliet was try.
ing to stifle.
whatever it is, let us hear it,
she persisted obstinately.
JuHiet'S gaze sent a mute appea'
to Won Guerdoh but he merely
wondered obtuSely why she waS
looking at him.
