CHAPTER VII

Dawn was breaking over Wilton
when a trim motor car, bearing a New
York number plate, slipped quietly
into the village and drew up at the
town garage.
From it stepped a man, small and
somewhat bent. MAY l leave my car
here?' he inquired of the lad who was
sweeping out the building.
"Sure!"
Fill her up for me, please. And
you might clean her q bit"
Been riding all night?"
The stranger nodded.

me where a Mr.. Heath is staying?"

"Where1l | find a boat?"
"That / couldn't say. The Wilder
keeps hers t'other side Of the channel.
Mebbe, though, II you was to go down
to the beach some fisherman would
give you a lift across. Most any of 'em
would admire to If you're a friend
Of Marcia Howe's."
The stranger bowed but offered no
comment. If curiosity stirred within
him concerning the information the lad
vouchsafed, at least he gave no sign.
THANK you," he replied briefly. "Will
this road take me to the beach?"
straight as an arrow"
Without wasting additional words or
time, the stranger nodded and started
off briskly in the direction indicated.
When he reached the beach he halted,
scanning eagerly the sllvered house be-
yond the channel. Discovering no one
In sight, he dragged from the shore a
yellow dory, clambered into 1t, AMI
toward the dwelling silhouetted against
the water and the glory of the morning
sky.
In the meantime, both Marcia and
Sylvia had wakened early and were
. astlr.
The kitchen fire was already snap
ping merrily In the stove, however,
and the table was spread before the
latter made her appearance.
She came in, carrying a thick en-.
velope.

Rodents and Civilization

Small wild animals have found civil

the numbers Of such animals as ground
squirrels, gophers, prairie dogs and the
like are largely determined by the
available food supply and the extent
to which they are the prey Of larger
animals. AS farmers settled the West
the larger animals were driven of and

1T was here we put the jewel case"
she said.
II think, with your permission, I will
take up the BRICK" the little man at
her elbow quietly announced.
Certainly" acquiesced Marcia.
Taking out his knife, Currier knelt
and soon had the brick out of Its
hole.
Beneath 1t lay the jewel case,
wrapped as before In Stanley Heath's
monogrammed handkerchief.
Marcia could not believe her eyes.
"But-but-it wasn't there when l
looked. l could swear it wasn't"
"Who could have taken it out? And
IL some one did why return anything
so valuable?" Currier inquired.
II don't know. l do not understand

"Tll 60" Marcia cried. 1T won't

of few Marcia.
Her haste, the radiance Of her face
must have suggested to the stranger a
thought that had not occurred to him
before, for after she had gone, he
stood immovable in the middle of the
floor looking after her.
Then a slow, shadowy smile passed
across his features.
SOHO! |" he muttered. "So-hol"
He was still absorbed In reverle
when Marcia, GREATNESS and flushed,
rejoined him.

jewels and their recovery. / an 80

her consciousness something hitherto

Then turning her head aside. she
inquired with studied ~carelessness:

replied he. Mrs. Heath has, however.

An hour later My Unknown Lady
weighed anchor and disappeared out
to sea, carrying with her Currier and
the jewels.
Marcia watched until the last snowy
ripple foaming In her wake had dis
appeared, then she sank into a chair
and brushed her hand across her
eyes.
"And that's the end of that foolish
