Chapter X
In real alarm Peggy hurried into
Nancy's room, She found her guest
propped up among her pillows read-
ing a motion picture magazine she
had brought with ':cr.
"I thought you were never com-
ing," Nancy said looking up from
her magazine,
"Do you remember what I did
Ith my ring this afternoon when
took it.off at the station?" Peggy
demanded.
"Put it in your bag. Why?"
"Are you sure? Sure I put it in?
I didn't drop it, did I?"
"No, of course you didn't. I re-
member seeing you drop it in and
then close the bag. .Why? Can't
you find it?'
"No,' Peggy cried in dismay. "It
isnt in there, and I've looked ev-
erywhere."
"You probably haven't half
looked; said Nancy, Throwing
back the sheet, she jumper, out of
bed and stopping only long enough
to slip her bare feet into high -
heeled mules she hurried into the
next room. But after a few minutes'
search she had to admit the ring
seemed to be nowhere in sight,
"I'11 call Maxine," Peggy said,
slipping across the hall to her sis-
ter's room.

Just then the telephone in the
lower hall rang. All three of the
girls stopped and stared at each
other in astonishment. They had
not realized how quiet everything
about the house had` been, until

they heart. that shrill sound. Tele-
phones did not ring often late at
night at Rosewood, It rang again.
"I'll go," Peggy re.., out of the
room and swiftly down the stairs.
The other two followed her into
the upstairs hall.
"Hello," she called."Yes, Who?
Miss Trueheart? Yes -just a min-
ute. I'll call her,"
Maxine was already coming
down the steps. Peggy handed her
the receiver and started up the
stairs.
"Hello," h'laxine answered.
"Well, for heaven's sake. Where
did you come from? What a detec-
tive you arc to have found ane
here!"
"Listen!" Nancy cried grabbing
Peggy's arm. "Did you hear that?
It's a detective," Peggy had gone
back to her room, her mind still
occupied with the loss of Harry's
ring, She was only half conscious
of what either Maxine or Nancy
had said. But Nancy persisted,
"Did you hear? It's a detective
she's talking to. Do you suppose
she'll tell him about the ring being
gone? And maybe get him out
here?"
* * *
Peggy stared at her a moment in
silence. "I wonder if she could,"
she cried. She rushed back to the
hall, and hurriedly tiptoed down the
stairs again. "Maxine!" she was
calling in a loud 'whisper. "Don't
hang up. Ask him if he can't come
out here and help us find the ring!"
"What?" Maxine asked looking
up at her sister in astonishment.
"What are you talking about? No,
not you," she added into the phone.
'My sister. \Vait just a minute,
What is it, Peggy?
"You called him a detective,"
Peggy expained. "And I wondered
if you couldn't get him to come
out here and help us find the ring.
I don't know who he is, but there
aren't any detectives in Marshville
and I certainly need someone. Ask
him anyway, won't you?"
Maxine stood staring at her a
second, then nodded her head. "Run
on back upstairs and keep looking
and I'll ask him
Peggy's teeth were chattering
now from excitement, even though
the night was warm. She rushed
hack up the steps. Nancy was
still leaning over the railing, listen-
ing.
"I think maybe he'll conte," Peg-
gy told her. "C -come on—I'm
c -cold."
"Well, I think it's a perfectly
dumb idea to get a detective out
here to look for your ring," Nancy
said in disgust. "He'll ask a lot
of questions. Then what will you
say? Your grandmother will have
to know all about everything."
"Oh, dear," Peggy was, almost
in tears. "I didn't think about that.
But you suggested it," she said,
turning to look at Nancy in sur-
prise.
"I did not," Nancy cried. "I was
just trying to warn you in case
Maxine suggested it. I'll go tell
her not to let hint come." But as
she started towards the door they
heard Maxine on the stairs, and a
moment later she came in the
room.
"Well, he's corning in the morn-
ing," site announced.
How are you going to explain
Peggy's ring to Mrs Horton?" de-
manded Nancy,
Maxine stared stupidly at both
girls, then collecting herself she
crossed the room to Peggy.
"You will have to tell Gran all
about it, honey," she said, putting
her arm around her sister's shoul-
ders.
"Oh, but I can't Maxine!" Peg-
gy's hands were twisting in her lap,
and she was on the verge of tears,
What should she do? "I know," she

sat up suddenly. "We'll tell Gran
It's Nancy's ring!"
"Mine?" Nancy exclaimed. ''Why
mine?"
"I had told Gran before you came
that you were engaged and .he
doesn't know you have broken the
engagement. So she will think you
have lost your engagement ring
here, and won't question it. Oh,
Nancy, please!"

We at home don't have to give our lives,
limbs, or health, or . even give up our
jobs. All we're asked to do is to lend
our money for the seventh time. And
we'd still do it if it were the seventeenth
•
time; because we know deep down that
the future happiness of our children is
without price. So, let's go all out again
and put this Seventh = and maybe the
last!—over the top!
