shrubs and long rose arbor. The
odor Of fragrant blooms came
strongly to my nostrils and sank
down into a basket chair which
stood near to enjoy the moonlight

to bed.
I wondered what decision the
men would come to regarding the
possible providers of the night be-

if the unknown returned and en-

The suggestion that the prowler
was interested in the spite fence
was just as unbelievable. Neither
solution was the correct one, was
sure. There had seemed to me to be
a current of unrest at the dining

only ones seemingly unaffected.
