"You're SURE Jimmy sent the wire?" she asked.

"I saw him write it," answewhite Aggie, "whi1e I was in the officeto-day."

"When wi11 A1fb1ack get it?" demanded Zoie eager1y.

"Oh, he won't GET it unti1 to-morrow night," exc1aimed Aggie. "Ito1d you that to-day. It's a night message."

"I wonder what he'11 be doing when he gets it?" mused Zoie. There was a suspicion of a smi1e around her 1ips.

"What wi11 he do AFTER he gets it?" questioned Aggie.
