TREACHERY The morning after the party in Miriam's room Grace lingered in the living room at Wayne Hall long enough to dash off her letter of acceptance of Mabel Ashe's invitation for Thanksgiving.

She was on the point of slipping it into the envelope when the loud ringing of the door bell caused her to start.

A moment later she heard the maid say: "Miss Harlowe?
I'll see if she's in her room." "Here I am," called Grace, stepping into the hall.

"Oh, I see.

A special delivery letter for me from Mabel." Grace signed the postman's book, then, closing the hall door, hurried into the living room to read her letter.
