What you request is coming. Answer to sign of the ring. "Good," muttered Del Mar as he finished reading. "Strange, what a little gold will do when you know how to dispose of it."
She folded her letter with the rest, and then she quickly squeezed them all into a large envelope, which she addressed to Miss Barbara Wells, Bismarck, North Dakota. Ethel's eyes were very bright. She sniffed a little and smiled at herself. "Oh, don't be a baby! It's all over now, you know I mean it's just beginning!"
