Lettie on th* Firing Lino.
Lettle’s plan was definite,'but fl'hly
a child would have formed it. 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

might find herself locked away from

her into a chair. “Y'ou sit there,” she
hissed. “iLn’t you move. You’re a

Lettie glared steadily back at her.
The grip on her thin shoulder had con
vinced her that physical -resistance
was inadvisable, but shk was serene in
the knowledge that she was not a lu
natic. •
“I want ray little brother,” she re-
peaten, with diplomatic calm. •
A tide of color surged into the wom
an’s face. She looked as if she were
strangling. “Ain’t nobody here,” she
snapped.
A terrible fear clutched Lettle’s
heart. What if Thad really were not
here? 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. The shades were drawn down
below the window-sills, so that not a
ray of light could penetrate outside.
> . . No one would dream that a little
deserted, for all that-a passer-by could
tell. . . . The room was close and fear-
somely silent.' The gas spurted" up
now and then-with an angry sizzling.
Lottie’s frightened glance traveled
around the hare room, seeking for
sopje means of outwitting the woman
before her. Nothing occurred to her.
Suddenly she heard a souhd that
was like a faint moan. It seemed to*

She plunged recklessly down the
dark stairs, her nerves keyed high by
