Nuys company's big offices at six
O'clock, to "go over" the thick car
pet with vacuum cleaners, tp dust
I the desks and empty the waste bas
kets.
Moreover, she knew that at any
moment Agnes might discover the
I loss of her office keys and come
back for them.
And so she worked fast. The min
ute that Jean Gilday, who always
Stayed late, had left her switch
board and vanished into the cloak
room. Chatty was across the room
and into Agnes’ office.
There were three keys on the lit
tle metal keyring, and the first one
! .she tried in the drawer of Agnes
desk was the right one. It turned
In the lock, and the drawer flew
open!
There was a big sheaf of plain
white paper in the drawer and on
; the top of it lay the note!
Without stopping to look at it.
i Chatty banged the drawer shut ami
fairly ran back to her own room.
•There she read it:
"I’d like to see Mr. Van first thing
in the morning if you can arrange
it. It's about those Consumers
company bonds."
That was all. Just a plain little
business note!
But why had Dave written it in
stead of just saying what he had to
say to Agnes about seeing Mr. Van
|n the morning? ... "I suppose he
didn't want Winnie Talcott to heui
him and know all his business,’
Chatty decided, looking at it and
wishing with all her heart that she
^hadn't taken Agnes' keys. It had
■been a frightfully dishonest thing
ft to do, hadn't it?
■ "But all's fair in love and war.
9 they say." she comforted herself.
■ "And love makes people do funny
■ sometimes—’* .
I Aj^L same, she was ashamed of
I herself. And as soon as she heard
I the office door close after Jean Gil
9 day she carried tne note and the
9 keys straight back to Agnes Her
■ ford's desk . . . She would lea\c
9 them there, and never, never, never,
■ would she do a dishonest thing like
9 this again, she promised herself.
19a But as she laid the note back in
■she drawer she saw that a man >
■■lean linen handkerchief lay neatly
•folded, just behind the stack of
Clean white paper!
Ninety-nine people out of a hun
dred would have looked at it with
out really seeing it. Ninety-nine
people out of a hundred would not
have touched it even if they had no
ticed it lying there.
I But Catty was the hundredth
person—the born busybody!
And so she stuck her little fingers
Into the drawer and took out the
I square of clean, folded linen, almost
without thinking.
It was a very fine handkerchief,
with a rolled edge. In
1” three initials were worked in ligiit
blue silk—the initials “L. V. N.”
"Lowell Van Mufti** Chatty al
_pnost spoke the name aloud. * N
Ijfthen what’s THIS doing here. I'd
■like to know—hidden away m Miss
■ IJmarty's desk?"
9 But perhaps the handkerchief!
I + ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ - ■ -
had not been hidden there . . . Per
haps Mr. “Van” had dropped it
that afternoon on his way through
the office to the golf club where he
spent most of his afternoons these
fine spring days. Perhaps Agnes
had just picked It up and put it
away in her drawer until she could
give it back to him tomorrow morn
ing.
Maybe so—and maybe not,”
Chatty debated the thing with her
self. “Anyway, I may as well take
a look-see through this interesting
desk while I have the chance.” Her
little pink nostrils quivered like a
hunting dog's when it is tracking
down some helpless, frightened
I prey.
She felt that she was on the
scent of something — somehow.
Something that she could use
against Agnes.
For she was afraid of Agnes.
Afraid that she might go to Billie
Langcneau with the lie that Chatty
had told her that noop.
Besides, she was Jealous of Agnes’
friendship with Dave Jordan—and
what is stronger than fear and jeal
ousy?

IT’S the person with a clear,
smooth, lovely complexion
fchat usually wins.
To be sure, not much is said
openly skin eruptions, but
pecretbr they influence many im
portant affairs. Personal likes
ped dislikes are quickly formed.
Everybody wants to be attrac

bition. A dear skin makes every
one more attractive.
Skilled physicians recognize the
Appearance of pimples, boils, ec
Aema and other skin eruptions as
being ao indication that the body’s
power of resist

low—rthat
there is a
deficiency
of red

The sure way to remedy thta
condition is to restore the red
blood-cells to normal.
This is why so many thousands
have been enabled to free them
selves of those unsightly blem

by taking a course of S.S.S.
S.S.S. helps Nature restore the
blood to its normal state. Healthy
Mood makes the body strong and
resistant to disease.
Without plenty of rich, red
blood there could be no strong,
sturdy, powerful men, or healthy,
beautiful women.
If you are troubled with so
called skin disorders or if the
count of your red-blood-cells is
low, take a few bottles of S.S.S.
Seek energy, vitality and a clear

is made from fresh vegetable

See* Extension of
Citrus Quarantine
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO. Aug. 8 — Results of
the mass meeting earlier this week
at Laredo, and oj the general move
started recently looking toward
cleanup of other citrus and fruit
sections along the border were pre
dicted here by J. E. Bell as probable
adoption of the host free periods in
the Winter Garden and Laredo sec
tion.
This will mean mainly the re
moval of a large quantity of sour
oranges and other citrus fruit from
orchards and home trees, in the La
redo section especially. Beil said.
He said It is likelv that peaches
will be exempted from this, since a
considerable quantity of peaches
have been planted in the Winter
Garden section. Also it was brought
out by the inspectors that the peach
crop matures and is picked in a
comparatively short sqace of time,
and hence is not a menace, especial
ly when growing as for north of the
border as the Winter Garden sec
tion.
Bell said that the representatives
of the Laredo and Winter Garden
district will carry out plans of en
forcing the host free periods in
those sections with the posible ex
ception of the peaches.
"The point which was emphasized
most.” Bell said, "was the necessity
for personal inspection of baggage
at the borders. Valley people ex
plained at the meeting that Cali
fornia inspects all baggage at the
entrance to the state.”
