She nodded pleasantly. "You're per
fectly welcome." The worda were hos
pitable, but not so cordial aa Mrs.
Penfleld herself could have wished.
She could not entirely conquer a feeling-
of Irritation upon finding In her
house a man whom she Instinctively
distrusted. A foolish feeling, she
thought to herself. She bad not a
ah red of tangible evidence against
Frank Bosley, but the repulsion was
strong. Her delight In finding a rela

these two men, unaccountable, per

"Don't hurry because I came," she
said, 'waving the guest back to his

In a minute." She opened her shabby
leather bag, and took out a, small box,
wrapped In paper. "I'll Jst give you
this, as long as you're home -again."
She passed It over. ',.
Frank Bosley took the box mechan

a few pieces of plain furniture and
had constructed a reasonable sort of
stepladder that 'made it easily acces

to wonder why he bad taken the
trouble. - He rarely had a meal at
Number 47; there were days at a time
when The Custard Cup never saw him

Nevertheless, when he came breez

then Mrs. Penfleld appreciated him

she was puzzled and disturbed, even
piqued.

Mrs. Penfleld explained. She had
to lift her voice, because Uncle, Jerry

air with diverse calls and squeaks and

Penfleld to be called to Number 4L
Mrs. Sanders lived there, alone ex

months since she had come to The
Custard Cud. she had summoned
Mra Penfleld several times when over
wrought nerves had brought her to
