Aggie, without much apprehension of the exact situation, was
moved to a dimpled mirth over the essential humor of the method
indicated.
"Gee, that's funny," she cried happily. "You an' me an' Joe

American Legal Crime Society."
"I shouldn't be in the least surprised," Mary assented, as she
finished buttoning her gloves. She smiled, but there was a hint
of grimness in the bending of her lips. That grimness remained,

slender daintiness of her form.
