Questions like these lent mystery to the affair, and that laconic, perfumed note which might have been either a warning or an aseknation spiced it with 2. mg- zestion of scandal jut tncient to intensify general interest.

The man at _the gate started to climb the fence, but he was halted midway by a challenge from the house, and looked up to discover that a tall woman in a faded gingham dress had emerged upon the porch and was facing him threateningly.

In spite of her ill-tting garments, her at, shapeless shoes, and her untidy hair. there was an air of command about her and an appearance of some con- sequence.
