In the driveway, discussing the news­
paper accounts of the raid and the ar­
rest of five suepecta. Eagerly they In­
vited her Into their comparison of ex­
citing events, feeling sure that through
Jerry Winston's Intimacy with Frank
Bosley she would have many Interest­
ing details to contribute. But when
ahe merely listened and added nothing,
they were surprised. Incredulous, even
resentful.
From hour to hour further Items
were unearthed, dragged Into the
small community, and shared gener­
ously In sn Impromptu council of all
tbe tenants. The Bosleys had not been
popular; their downfall had therefore
a satisfying element that lent peculiar
piquancy to everybody's version. Blood
was a-tlngle with keenest stimulation;
the air was cloudy with exclamations.
Nor was there any perceptible dimin­
ution the next day— or the next. And
scarcely had the driveway gossip
thinned a trifle when Mrs. Penfleld'e
thoughts were given a vnstly different
turn.
Mr. Crashaw came to Interview her.
He had seen Mrs. Weatherstone; he
had seen the hangings. He offered Mrs.
Penfield a hundred dollars In cash and
a small block of stock In his laundry
association In exchange for her formu­
la and a certain amount of supervision
until Its use should he mastered In the
various laundries of which he had
charge.
“It will mean," be told her, "about a
thousand dollars a year— more, as the
business grows— but you cun be as­
sured of that amount.”
It seemed a fortune to Mrs. Pen-
field. She had difficulty In tempering
her Impetuous delight Into a seemly
business attitude. To have a steady
Income, aside from her nsual earnings,
would mean a different Ufe for the
children.
After Mr. Crashaw had gone, she
began to plan exactly what that life
should he. For one thing, she would
surely be Justified In giving up the
management of The Custard Cup,
