I leave Viola to judge for herself about life, I always have since she was quite a little thing, and I have no fear for her. Whatever she does I know it will always be right." Viola was just twenty, but this kind of training had given her an intelligence and developed her intellect far beyond her years.

"You want me?" he exclaimed, drawing back. "Me?" "Yes. I feel that you will do better than any one else. Oh, you will help me, won't you?" she pleaded. "Of course, Viola. But I don't know how." "Then let me tell you," and she seemed to be in better control of herself than at any time that day. "This must be gone into systematically, and we can best do it through a detective."

It needed but a second glance to disclose to the trained eyes of the detective that it was none other than Minnie Webb, whom he had met several times at the home of Viola Carwell. Minnie advanced until she came to a certain bench, and she stopped long enough to count and make sure that it was the third from one end of a row, and the seventh from the other end.

"I certainly should in your place.... That is, if you have silver slippers." "I have, and I think I do," said Joy gravely. "Then I'll hand this over to Viola to put the finishing stitches in. Look out the window do you see anything familiar coming up the path?" Joy, in her pinned finery, looked, then snatched her clothes from the sofa, where they lay in state, and ran upstairs.

And he thinks this is far worse, but he won't go back on me. So he sings." I was sitting with her in the garden on the Sunday evening. I said to her, "Viola, you were caught with the beauty of Bruges. Why can't you see the beauty of all this?" I was seeing it for the first time. I made the most of it, of the Canterbury atmosphere. I sank into it and felt it sinking into me.

"The who?" asked Viola, not at first understanding. "The safe man. He said you sent for him to open a safe and " "Oh, yes, I understand, Jane. Where is he?" "In the library, Miss Viola."

His morbid faith would destroy her." As they were returning to the office they met the young driver of the mule-train, and Viola introduced him as "Mr. Ward, of Boston." He was tall and spare, with a fine, sensitive, boyish face a face of refinement which his rough, gray shirt, faded leggings, and badly battered hat belied. "Mr. Ward is out here for his health, also," Viola explained.

"I thought you and the gentleman would like to write your names in it in case of any letters...." "Yes, very much," returned Viola promptly, with a little side smile at me, and sat down and wrote in it.

He watereth the hills from his chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man." Viola exclaimed: "My father's plantation is called 'Mount Pisgah, and this view reminds me of that other scene Moses saw on his 'Mount Pisgah."

We were hardly out of sound of the guns when I heard Viola saying, "You know it really was funny of Jimmy." I said, "He won't think it quite so funny when he hears what we've done." He didn't think it funny at all. He was furious when he heard what we'd done. He forbade Viola to follow him again. He threatened to sack Colville.
