Amelia Stubbs.
P. S. You can send me a check, as I can get it cashed by my grocer.
"Mrs. Stubbs means business," remarked Bert with a smile. "Have you sent her the money?"
"Not yet. I don't hold myself liable for Ralph Harding's debts, even if this is the man I am after. However, I am willing to pay Mrs. Stubbs for information, if she can furnish any that will help us."
"Have you written to her?"
"I am going to send a letter to her by you."
"Am I to go to Harrisburg?" exclaimed Bert, pleasantly surprised.
"Yes; I shall send you there to-morrow."
"I should like to go. What am I to do when I get there?"
"First of all you must call on Mrs. Stubbs. It may be well for you to engage board at her house for a week, paying in advance, as that will put you in her good graces. You will, of course, learn all you can from her, but it will be necessary also to seek information outside. I shall have to leave a good deal to your discretion."
