"Personally, I haven't a doubt that the strike has
everything to do with it."
"What makes you think so?"
"The threatening letter that you received at the Institute. Show that
to your father tonight and suggest that he turn it over to the
police."
"I will," Marion promised. "In this new excitement I forgot all about
it. I didn't even show it to mother. Just as soon as papa finishes his
dinner, I'm going to show that letter to him. I'll go upstairs now and
get it. You wait here and be present when we talk it over, Helen.
You're so good at offering suggestions that maybe with you present we
can all work out some kind of solution of what has been going on."
Marion hastened up to her room and returned presently with both of the
anonymous letters she had received in Westmoreland. A few minutes
later her father and mother both entered the library with the evident
purpose in mind of holding a lengthy conference on the problems
growing out of Mr. Stanlock's business troubles.
"Papa, do you think those men tried to kidnap you?" Marion inquired by
way of introducing the subject.
Mr. Stanlock laughed heartily.
"Kidnap me!" he exclaimed.
