CHAPTER y
Friday: Girls, | want every
one of you to listen to this Mrs.
Fenwick announced, entering the
tcoroom rs the mattresses were
arranging their tables this morn
ing. Unfolding the paper she car
ried she read: "A warning haN
brrn received that several coun.
terfcit bills have been circulated
in the neighbOrhOOd. George
West. president Of the local BANK
declares that they are very c'''-
rrIy executed and the average
urrson would not recognize mat
they are counterfeit. A Shgnt n
regularity in the etching OF the
presidents portrait and the green
ink used in the Seria, ",...-c.S '''
the only apparent Distinguishing
features. II YOU have any doubt
about the billS-tiveS and tens
in vour possession, bank Otucl&lS
will be pleased % advise you.
"Now whenever anyone ten
doris a five or ten dollar bill, be
fore YOU accept il, bring IT 20 tne
desk. I'm going to the village right
NOW To confer with Mr.. West. Be
particularly wary of bills tender
ed by casual customers, Tor l
cannot afford to lose money IN
that way -,
IAN right, Mrs. FcnwieN." |
said, speaking fOr the girls. We
rarely have customers for break
fast so Mrs. Fenwick would
surely be- back in time to give the
final okay to any questionable
bills.
Back in the kitchen, arranging
flowers, told Cal what wee
heard.
Reckon I'll ask for my pay in
one-dolIar bills after this. Then
ne lowered his voice. You
laughed at me when | told you
those were Secret Service men
maybe this will prove | was
right.
Maybe. Cal. but il they are
Secret Service men | don't be-
licvc they're going around an
nouncing il publicly.
They didn't do chat, Miss JOY.
Eb futile told me confidential.
And amt mentioned 1t to an
other soul but you. | wouldn't be
surprised ii they'd find PlenvE oi
bogus money down NJ Serene
Shores. I've heard that after the
boarders have gone 10 their cot
tagcS. gangs of rOugnneckS spend
half the night there. Now Ia Ike

well, why doesn't Constable
Tuttlc get on the job!
Cone man against a bunch OF
crooks? Aiu't that asking 900
much of good citizen that has
To consider mis- wife and family :
Though il il came 70 shooting,
there's not many that can hold 4
candle to Eb. But there, the
missus saws she's going to the WI
lage so I'll have to get READY.
It's queer how Interested you
become i'm trivial things when
your worlds narrowed down 10
a spot like the tc&rOOm. and your
interests revolve about the dolnGS
of your customers and fellow
workers. Big Kate told me that
one Of Miss Pegler'S maids m
formed her that il wasn't on ac-
count of heart attack she'd been
unable TO attend the meeting
about Serene Shores, but worry
about her nephew.
There's something not on the
level with that young man. she
declared.
, Funny old thing, She takes n
mUtherly interest in all the girls.

Of my engagement. Of course,
since | overheard that converSa-
ton between Miss Pegler and her
lawyer I'm afraid she's right. Still
| won't have her talking like that
To- me. Glad no one noticed Miss
Pegler'S gardener here this morn
ing brought me note from
Dick, saying he'd been called TO
New York on some business ou'
would be back soon. You know,
even if a girl is not in love with
the man she's going TO marry, and
though she may sec a hundred
faults in him, yet it's a horse OF
a different color when someone
else diSparageS him.
When Cal came back from the
. village, nc was all excited. Mrs
Fenwick had sent him TO the sta

packages she was expecting.
