"Believing that she might have met with some accident—God knows of what serious nature—on her return from the person whose letter she received"—Miss Acton looked stunned at such an idea—"I called at Arrowsmith's first of all, and wrote out a placard, offering a reward of fifty guineas to any one who can find Miss Lucy Acton, who can state her whereabouts, or who can give any information as to her disappearance since half-past seven o'clock this morning, which was dated and the day named. This placard will be printed and pasted in Old Harbour Town, and over a wide area of the district before nightfall. I also gave a copy of this placard to the bell-man. What further publicity could I command?" "Well you do more than most people, then," said Billy.

I told him that if he shot my birds, he'd better watch out fer his white Leghorn chickens but he laughed at me.".

"Paul, your honour," answered the fellow, brightening instinctively with the face Mr Lawrence now viewed him with. "Looks like a good feedin' place, Moll," he addressed the spaniel as he paddled slowly across to the far shore of the slough. "Good grass here fer hidin', too; but not much chance of findin' a down bird without a good dog, an' I've got her—eh girlie?" "Is that why people don't go near your place, 'cause they're scared of the dogs?" Billy asked. * * * * *.
