"Ah, that is what we wish to find out," said the doctor, gravely. "But how do I know? Battersea may be the thief." "Sure thing," supplemented Griffin genially. "I'm in it now, and if you'd put it off, I'd been in Kalamazoo or Madagascar, and missed it all." "Not at all. Dr. Etwald used it as a bandage.".

This suggestion came from Isabella, but of it Dido took no notice. Without a word to mother or daughter, who were both in tears, she left the room. In the afternoon she was nowhere to be found, and both Mrs. Dallas and Isabella came to the conclusion that she had fled to avoid being forced into giving incriminating evidence.

Of course, I instantly became unconscious, and it was then that she wrenched the talisman off my watch-chain." "Mercy, Judy, where did you drop from?" asked Patricia, startled. "I didn't expect you for an hour. Is Elinor home, too?".
