It was a mean trick, of course, and some day she will doubtless get even with him. She saw him take a piece of paper from his pocket, carefully -fold'it up, put it in an envelope, aaß then place the envelope in one or the far corners of the library table. "What's that? she asked. " Oh, nothing of importance," he replied. Now, if he had simply thrown it carelessly into the drawer she would have thoup-ht nothing of ifc, but the care he took to put it dear over in the far corner, and the fact that he seemed ill at ease after his action had been observed, aroused her suspicion. . She wondered what B, and she reasoned with herthat he had said ifc was ||jno of importance," so he have nobody but himself to blame if she took a look at it. She was justified in inferring from his words that ihere was no reason why she should not. And this is what she read scribbled on a piece of paper : " I'll bwfc you a new hat your curiosity will not permit you to leave this note alone." It was a terrible predicament ia which to place a woman. How, j could she claim the new hat with* out putting herself away.
