Ken and Ardeth Slandered Bv Spy CHAPTER XXXVII NO SIGN or word from Ken. She knew that he was keeping away for her sake. That night of pain when he had »unk out of sight, like a heavy stone cast in a deep lake. Not even a ripple left to tell that it had ever been. . . So she thought, ignorant of the wide circle the stone had caused. Nor did she understand, until one day shortly before Christmas when a copy of The Spy was delivered to her desk with the rest of the mail. Ardeth frowned at the vivid green cover. Not since Jeanette had left, had the scandalous weekly come into the shop. She was at a loss now, to account for its presence and she was about to drop it, unread, in the waste basket when a sudden thought sent the color pulsing in her checks. She was suddenly turning the pages frantically. . . searching. . . Ridiculous. . . to be searching like this for something which couldn’t be here. . . What could be printed in The Spy which could concern her? And yet, why had it been mailed to her, if not to wound ? | Scandali Down in a corner, that column of sneering personalities called Through the Spyglass . . . “The night has a thousand eyes —the day but one—” So runs the old verse, which is perhaps the reason the night sees so many more interesting things than does the day. “Apropos of which, Ye Spy saw such a touching sight a few nights ago. A young married man of this town calling on his former inamorata. Tender love scenes are so touching! “I shall not disclose his name, of course, for Yc Spy is never indiscreet, nor do wo wish to cause trouble among those who sit in the high places, and this young man, not so long ago married into one of our wealthiest families. Nor can one entirely blame him, for it is whispered that lie was much enamored of this lovely blonde, who is fair, though she does not belong to the social elect. “Be that as it may—this gentleman’s call upon the lady of his secret choice, did not end until that hour when the milkman beginneth his rounds. “Tut! tut! K. What would the fair wife say. “Fortunate it is that this little love nest is hidden where one would least look for it. But Cupid is a sly fellow and can find his way even down among Use busy marts of trade.

-go. THmmL V | A a-. Hr Her mind went fearfully back to the night when Ken hut. come here

By the time Ardeth had finished reading this effusion, her face was white and cold. She turned to the mailing address on the cover. Only the curt, typewritten direction, which gave her no clue as to the sender. She looked up and found her eyes caught by the gaze of Ah Ling standing opposite in the doorway. And Ardeth knew that in some fashion the contents of this paper were known to the Chinese girl. Warm sympathy in Ah Ling’s gaze. “That is a bad paper! I wanted to throw it out, Miss Carroll, but—” she shrugged, “sometimes it is better to know what our enemies are saying. Then we can be on guard.” Unknown Enemy Ardeth swept the paper into the basket as though it were a snake. “It’s vile. Why—who would put that thing in?” Her mind went fearfully back to the night when Ken had come here—dazed and seeking comfort. Someone had followed him . . . someone had waited to see him leave . . . Some enemy, lurking about the small shop in the night. Hiding, perhaps in the dark alley, peering in at them. The thought was horrible. “Oh—a dastardly thing to do!” she heard herself saying in a low, intent voice, which she did not recognize. “A—a rotten thing to do! Who would want to hurt me. . . . Who would do such a thing?” “The Spy,” Ah Ling returned promptly, with a wise look of her slant eyes. “But who is he?” Ardeth blazed at her. “If I could find out I would. ... J would have him

horsewhipped out of a decenl community!” Ah Ling shook her head with it waves of lacquered hair. The small, ivory face was expression less, her eyes were remote. “No, Miss Carroll. You could not afford to do that. Neither you —nor any of the other people he has slandered. For the world w ould misunderstand. They would not applaud you for killing a snake. They would say you were admitting your guilt. Can’t you see—to take offense at what ia written is to admit guilt. That is why such a thing as that — can live.” She poked contemptuously at the green sheet with one or-ange-brocaded slipper. “It would be all the world needed to start it whispering. The world is not charitable." iUnmasked ' ] “Ah Ling — Rosie! you knew who The Spy is!" “I know. I will tell you—for your own protection.” Little Rosie Ling's lip curled as she said it, for she hated him. Ardeth’s eyes went wide for a moment. “How do you know?” .... slanll ng eyes glittered. eo « sin Lee works for him as cook. Mr. Cyril Underhill is careless! He leaves his papers about his apartment. If he thinks at all of Lee he thinks ‘Oh, he is just ignorant Chink.'” The vermillion lips curled. My cousin Lee is American bom.
