By Saturday the condition of af-

She was very serious when I fin-

She passed the clipping to me and
I compared the two. It looked strange

that coincidence, that eletttent so

there was such a chance, and I spoke
of it.
"Coincidence .rubbish!" sheretort-

She went down into the bag again,

Mrs: Dane then read and explained
the two clippings and the letter, and
the situation, so far as it had devel-
oped, was before the Club?
Were we to go an or to stop?
We broke into animated discussion.
