Frank did not question the fellow any more concerning Bart. Just then, Lester, who was looking down at his left hand, as if examining his finger nail, gave a start, exclaiming:
“That’s queer!”
“What is queer?” asked Frank.
“My ring is gone.”
“Perhaps you left it somewhere.”
“No, I had it a while ago. I have been wearing it next to my little finger, and I had a hard time to get it on, so I put it on my little finger, although it was too large.”
“When was that?”
“Just before rehearsal began.”
“Then it’s likely you have lost it.”
