Her suspicious were red-hot/ but only a child of ten-second -Impulsiveness would have acted upon them. There was a great deal ofltfnflammable mate rial tin her nature^pnd ao one could tell what chance spark might set It off: The evidence that had recurred to her, under the stress of Mrs. Pcn- fleld’s suffering, was slight, even un reliable, but her imagination had In vested It with integrity. From Mrs. Sanders’ living-room window she had caught the merest glimpse of a man with a child In his arms, hurrying out of The ^Custard Cup. Looking from a lighted room Into the deepening twilight, she had seen neither clearly and had not thought of recognizing the man or the child. But when she had found that Thud , was missing, she had Jumped to the congenial conclusion that she had seen Frank Bosiey carrying Thad away. Why Frank Bosley? Chiefly because Lettie disliked him, distrust ed him, and because In build he was not unlike the man she had seen. The fact that Frank Bosley could have no possible Interest In kidnaping a Cus tard Cup child, did not occur to dis turb her conviction. True to the^ltn- pulslveness-which was the keynote of her nature, she had Jumped to a ccflP" elusion. It was several blocks to the Eve- rWge street house, but Lettie covered them rapidly. There was no light in any window, hut she rang the bell. ‘TH begin decent," she thought to her self. She was sure that queer people came here, and somehow she didn’t expect them ^to do anything so mild as to respond to a bell. Giving them the chance was her way of discharg ing her formal duty. There was no answer. Lettie setter teeth and proceeded to business. “Tbad’s In ther.e,” she thought, steai^ lly, “and I’m going to have him.” Quietly she circled’ the two-story GARMENT, DRAPERY house. It had a high basement. — * j There was a basement window toward Dye or Tint Worn, Faded Thingi ! vacant lot, but it was fastened.

She had been so blindly certain of his presence that she had, not faced the opposite possibility. "Please—” .; > ' “Shut up.” - The woman sat down across Lettie. They glared savagely at each other.
