But with a little sigh of regret, he rose from the big wicker rocker, and betook himself up to Dan Pelton's rooms, having first acquired information by telephone that he was there and alone. “I thought at first, I'd go for a confab with your aunt,” Riggs tald, as he took the seat and the cigar that Pelton offered. “But I felt that these first hours after the services for her brother, ought to be left in peace.” “l see you don't know Aunt Stasia,” Pelton responded, with a little smile, *“She could go to the funerals of all her relatives and still be fit for any sort of inter- view with anybody.
