But after bein' patient I got the contents of that drawer an' found two letters from Milly.

One was a long letter written a few months after her disappearance.

She had been bound an' gagged an' dragged away from her home by three men, an' she named them--Hurd, Metzger, Slack.

They was strangers to her.

She was taken to the little town where I found trace of her two years after.
