Rose, who had been serving the
fruit, vanished into the kitchen.
When breakfast was finished Mr..
Temple asked Ann to ring for the
maids. They came into the dining
room. Rose and Beth and Plunket.
They stood in row. gazing at
their employer from under scowl-
ing brows. Ann thought Plunkets
eyes too bright, watched them
shift maliciously.
Has anyone seen my watch ?"
Mr.. Temple asked, scrutinizing
each face in turn.
Rose and Beth shook their
heads. Plunket looked meaningly
at Ann.
II don't want to be suspicious
Mr.. Temple went on, but several
things have disappeared around

She nodded and he continued.
I've overlooked these items, in

some reasonable excuse, but"-he
pounded the table and his voice
rose-"rll be damned if my watch
can get away without a fight. I've

Plunket stepped out of line.
May I see you alone, Mr.. Temple,

"All right-in the library" he
snapped.
Plunket gave Ann a long. ex-
pressive look as she left the din
ing room. She said spitefully, I'm
advising you not to let Miss
Brown go upstairs until you see
me-"
All at once Ann knew what IL
was all about. She had been
framed by Plunket and her rela-
tives. 1t was their subtle way Of
getting rid of her.
