THE answer is, it was her share of

expression. Everything she did turned
out well. Money made money. But
the other one, the lady's maid, must
have been unlucky. She came down
to being just a village dressmaker.
Then they met again. Quite all right
at first, l expect. until MIR. Ted

M1Rs. SPENLow, you see, was al

she might 60 to prison for robbery

made up her mind to put stop to
it all. I'm afraid. you know. that she

Miss MARBLE reassWed him.
1T will be all quite easy. She's the

When she misses it and thinks the

She smiled at him encouragingly.

Miss MARBLE nodded her head several
times eagerly.
"Yes, of course. 1t seems to me so
obvious. She was in her kimono be-
