"But to let Judith face it all alone," challenged Jane. "I really haven't told the one important detail," Dozia vainly attempted to explain. "I was walking with Judith and two other girls were just a little ahead. They were Shirley Duncan and that pretty little thing, Sarah something " "Howland," Jane flung in. "Yes," went on Dozia.
But Jane, if she gets really horrid, I mean more horrid than she is now, I want you to stand by me. That's what I came for." "All right Dozia," said Jane, "but I hope it won't have to go as far as that." "Me too," responded the carefree Dozia. "But there's no telling what Shirley may do." For some moments after Dozia glided out Jane stood there, her gray eyes almost misty.
"We were out for early exercise," prompted Jane significantly, "and don't be too intelligent about that fire when they ask." "'Deef' and dumb," quibbled Dozia. "Thank you for the party, Jane. I had a lov-el-ly time." "Don't mention it," whispered Jane, as the line of students swallowed the two adventurers.
But this brother. May I see the paper, Jane? His name might be between the lines." "Oh, it's Ted," said Jane innocently. "See the signature here, but no address, of course. And from that immature hand, Doze, I am sure Ted is a junior." "But, Jane!" almost gasped Dozia. "What can you do with that letter? It would be positively dangerous to let Shirley know you found it.
"Well, no wonder the poor babes were scared blue," said Judith. "And Jane, you can now tell all about your discovery of the old dumb- waiter under the tower. That will make the story complete." "Don't let any more girls in here," ordered Dozia, for knocking at the door gave warning of an influx. "There is no need to give everyone this private hearing.
We stood still " "He was muttering and threatening so," ventured Janet. "Were you afraid of him?" charged Jane. "No, but we could not decide instantly that we should run after Judith. It was all so sudden," said spokesman Dozia. "And of course we realized any more commotion would really get us all in trouble; that old officer is such a crank."
You tied them all up in knots without leaving an end to follow. Neither clues nor climax just a jumble of sounds, but thrilling for all that. I was so fearful they would ask more about the unfortunate Shirley but you veered them off beautifully. Now, Pally dear, tumble in, and I'll slip out and get Dozia.
Dozia was in front of the opening before Jane could get to her feet. "Well, of all things!" she drawled. "If here isn't some sort of old elevator!" "A dumb-waiter!" cried Jane. "There are my groaning ropes. Pull, Doze, and let's see if it carries a car." A couple of jerks at the big cables and the car came down to earth with a bump. "Now!" exclaimed Jane gleefully. "There's the mystery.
The girls were fairly quivering with excitement, when Dozia Dalton, herald of the sensation, condescended to tell everybody all she knew about the whole thing.
In fact she sort of lorded it over me." "Dozia should strike for a new vanity dresser. One with three side glasses big enough to reflect her wonderful, long flowing locks. A rare chance for Dozia." "But how could a girl coming in on scholarship have money to squander?" reflected Jane. "That maiden aunt with the paper covered novels would love good looking-glasses.
