I gased at the letter, trying to com
prehend. and finally rend It over
again. It was short, there was not a
lino of sentiment; It was a demand.
Why? It flashed Into my mind that
It had to do with Mulatto's missing
ruby. I did not stop to reason or
conjecture. I caught up a sweater,
for the night wns growing cool and
already I was shivering. I went out
along the corridor, up tbo fow steps
to tho main hallway, then down tho
j stairs on tbo othor sldo of tho fow
steps to tno gauory, wnicn was an
outlet to tho tennis courts. Hap was
waiting.
"What Is It?" I gaspod. "What bai
happened? Has anything happonod?"
"Yes," he answered, after a mo
ment'a hesitation. "Something has
happened."
He caught my hand and drew mo
across (he strip of lawn that sep
arated the hoako and the courts.
"Whore aro we going?" I asked
breathlessly.
"To the beach. I want to talk to
you."

blm with his foot and Henri sat up,
rubbing tho sleep from hla eyes.
"Oct up, you Idiot," Hap command
od. ''This Is no place to sleep."
"He'll catch cold," I chattered as
the cold night air struck my arm and
my bared neck.
Henri arose and disappeared into
the shadows. Hap helped me put on
the sweater, turned mo around a If
