will we find the truth. And Miss Selina Loach certainly knew
Miss Saul."

As Jennings departed the postman came up the stairs with the
late letters. Cuthbert found one from Juliet and opened it at
once. It contained one line--

"Don't see the police about aunt's death--JULIET."

Cuthbert Mallow slept very badly that night.




CHAPTER VIII

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE


The most obvious thing for Cuthbert to do was to seek Juliet
and ask for an explanation of her mysterious note. He went to
the "Shrine of the Muses" the very next day, but was informed
that Miss Saxon and her mother had gone out of town and would
not be back for a few days. He could not learn where they
were, and was leaving the house somewhat disconsolately when
he met Basil.

"You here, Mallow," said that young gentleman, stopping short,
"have you been to see my mother?"
