Ro- mance has survived the haz- | ards of suspicion and intrigue; Lucy and Jerry are happily | married. One important point remains to be cleared up in to- | day's—the final—chapter of “Gold Bullets.” 1 . Chapter 49. ACCORDING TO POE Sixty-nine is getting on for much of this sort of thing and I am glad it is over. Mrs. Moffit has just | been in brooding over me with a hot lemonade and a dish of warm | olive oil. But now she has gone, and in my old carpet slippers, Roly- | xlovm ar T Ivv hacl my little joke on Lucy. Sitting up with a start I saw that Lucy and Jerry had come in. They have been making love most of the day and I have had hardly a word with them. “Oh, you were asleep, Uncle John,” Lucy cried distressfully. “Nothing of the sort!” I snapped. “1 was reading.” Lucy laughed and kissed me and Jerry grinned and dropped his arm over 'my shoulder; both of them then perched upon the arms of my chair. I love to have them near me. Their bounding youthfulness warms my cooling blood. Jerry picked up my book, which had some andria at my feet, I am drowsing over my book and absorbing the pleasant heat from the crackling cyealyptus in the grate. 1 am fearfully alone tonight.

It is an old and there are many pen- and yellow Lucy—nestled Ix:insl her uncle—seemed inexpressibly dear to hi ‘ho\\‘ slid behind my back. “Poe,” Lucy sniffed, as she caught sight of the volume. Lucy reads Wells and Shaw and Mencken, “¥Youll have a nightmare, Uncle John.” “No,” T said, with a little secret smile. “I was only reading The Purloined Letter. 1 had been thipking of your wedding present.” “What has The Purloined Letter got to do with our wedding pres- ent?” Lucy demanded, greatly as- tonished. “Not your real wedding present, my dear,” I said banteringly. “Just a—a temporary gift. A real wedding waen& requires prayerful medita- tion.” “For an elderly bachelor you are wonderfully wise,” Lucy informed me. “But—I insist, What has The | Purloined Letter xot to do with our | ‘Lcmpomry wedding present?” “Dear me!"” I exclaimed. “Don’t you remember the story of The Purloined Letter? Listen. then: “A minister of France has stolen an important letter and hidden it in his house. Its recovery is im- perative and the highly trained services of the French police are enlisted. At various times during the minister's absence the police examined his house with character- istic thoroughness. They examine every square inch of his rooms and furniture. And—they fail. They fail without imagination—and because | the minister is a poet ‘as well as a mathematician. Poe’s detective is called in. . He reasops, that the minister, knowing the convenflonal thoroughness of the French polwe, is too clever to conceal the letter in the conventional way; 'he rea- sons that the minister will leave it where it is so apparent to the eye that it will be ignored. Poe’s de- ) tective is right—and the letter is| found in an old envelope stuck [ carelessly in a pasteboard card-rack hung on the wall.” “But I still don't see what youl mean!” Lucy cried impatiently. “Do . you, Jerry?” “I'm listening, he grinned. “Go ahead, Uncle John.” Jerry is a smart lad and I chuck- | led. “Cast your minds back to. that noker game.
