ia having glanced at the clup uttered a low cry and seizing the girl by ibe arm harried pat of tbe room followed by mildred clapping her little hands in glee soon miss dunlap wu summoned from ihe room what did it all mean would georgia be arrested or wu the bracelet really hers what could it mean tbe girls asked each other a thousand questions for more than an boor finally miss duulap returned young ladies she said a very strange thing bu happened i begin by telling yoa that lady virginia hu found the bracelet in tbe fold of her overskirt there are two bracelets exactly alike clasped together they make a collar it wu the collar of aa order now extinct and twenty years ago tbe earl of b divided it and gave one half each 10 bis twin girls who were bis only children theeldest lady
