Very truly,
R. E. MOORE,
Alpine, Calif.
Mechanically she copied the order on a slip of paper which she
put into her pocket, left her desk and her work and the store,
and hurried to her boarding house.
Not until she was in her own room with the door locked did she
dare let herself think. She sat down with the copy spread open
before her, her slim fingers pressing against her temples.
