Sedate, mid- dle-aged and wealthy, the three were now terror-stricken. Bome power had forced Hobart to de- liver a mock speech in the public square, Roger to burlesque a scien- tific address, and Andrew to sit on the floor and play with toys. They were sane, and PATRICIA DRAKE, daughter of Ho- bart ,secretly secured OWEN MILES, detective and his colleague, BCOTTIE McCREDY, to Miles is employed as a houseman and Scottie as a gerdener. On hi first morning, a letter, which Miles learns ‘dfd not go through the mail, errives and throws Hobart into a passion. Miles tells Scottie to watch MISS JERUSHA DRAKE, spinster sister of the brothers, whom he sergeant, dipeovered in a wildly excited state | late at night before an open grate in which she was burning papers of some kind.

Has she changed much?” “Not in appearance a little stouter, perhaps,” Miss Drake answered with a slight trown. She is coming for tea this afternoon, so you will be able to fudge for yourself.” It was late afternoon when in an- _gwer to the summons of the doorbell he admitted the expected visitor. She was a stout, severely gownel weman of middle age with graying hair slieked back tightly beneath a smally stiff hat and a pair of shell- rimmed glasses athwart the bridge of ng nose. n"’l:;“‘d’:u‘ Ora! It is indeed a pleasure to welcome your return!” Miss Drake greeted her with a cool kiss on her cheek and turned to Miles: “wWilllam, Call Miss Patricla, please, and Roger. 1 think you will find Mr. Andrew in the garden.
