I am | grateful to you.” | Jimmie smiléd his thanks and jthen told him that he had come |to read a letter that had just ar- Irived. After Richmond had dis- | missed his assistant, Jimmie un- folded the communication and ex- plained. “This,” "he said, “is from Miss Marjorie Blake, or, at least from the lady we knew was Miss Blake. |She is now Mrs. Richard Stirling.” “Mrs. Stirling?
