What Happened in the Home When an
Anonymoui Letter Came to Mi
yvM.N one lettet oi you Margaret

it earned disease germs ifx so icrnhlt
-lied "
( ousin Agatha advanced toward me
her out ttr etched hand gingerly holding
a letter whose appeaiaiue ttltified her
j criticism. It wai the cheapest possible
sort of envelope and it looked as ii it
had been carefully rubbed in dun to
get it as dirty as possihle
1 flushed resentfully as I generally Jo
at ( OUsin Agatha's remarks Met tone
intimated that I must have some ex
tremely undesirable acquaintances
somewhere. Bui although I had no pus
siblc idea as to the sender of the let
ter tt) pride wouldn't allow me I"
gratift her petty malice by telling het
" She would have taken it as a hit
ol deference on my part to her opin-
Kofi Therefore I slipped it into the
pocket ol im sweater without a- second
glance and went on with the hit of
mending I had in my hands until I had
a chance to slip away to my room.
1 didn't stop to analyze the Initini t
that made me turn the key in the link
and lean against the door breathing
heavily as if I had been running haul
Instinctively I felt that within the
Krrasv. duty envelope in tin pocket was
some message Of evil tor me
I took it out and looked at the tuper-
icription carefully:
Mrs Kuhaid Graham
I hasr Avenue
Marvin I I
( hasc avenue! Then it was from
someone who knew that we had moved
recently. The postmark was Hoboken
and 1 ransacked my memory to see if
I i mild find any recollection of any pet
son from there but to no avail I H
loiirse the sensible procedure would
have been to open tin envelope at OtlCC
and find out what the letter contained
but an indefinable reluctance made me
postpone the opening as Inng as pos-
sible. It was a ball sheet of the cheapest
kind of note paper absolutely blank
evidently put in the envelope for the
sole teasoti of protecting the short
newspaper clipping it enclosed
The clipping was from a new Yolk
newspaper and bore (lie heading "Short
shift for Spanish Spv " The story
bore a Paris date line and was the
story of a nun of mixed t.ettnan and
Spanish parentage but who had hed
foi seats in France - who had Leeu dis
coveted in treasonable practices and
lUmmalibj executed
Then was no name ot initial oil the
clipping but the words oi the headline
Wtfa underlined in rd ink and tbrtr
wai a wavy line ol ted ink diawn
around the entire margin ol the clip

I was thoroughl) puzzled and al
though I iried lo dun il to myself a

tried to reassure my sell with the argu
nient that pet baps the man spoken ll
in the dispatch was known to some

Then I though) of a conversation the
Durkeei ami Dicky and l bad once had
concerning spi activities 1 had ex
pressed rather a decided opinion that

roariously al my strictures pretending

lated what be considered a joke on an
Fastern travelei He (old bow one
evening on i transcontinental express

crossed the line ' "
NnthitiR more was said about locality
until we met again in the diner next
evening "Well where are we now '"
asked the Easterner "Texas1 was the
reply whereat my Eastern friend broke
into a derisive laugh 'Yoi said that
last nipbt anil we have been traveling
twenty-four hours at a fast rate almost
in a straight line ever since'
" 'Very true' I replied 'but we are
till in Texas Texas is so bin that it
sounds hke an exaggeration.'"
Having thus introduced hit subject

"Besides being a J4 hour state in ex-
