"I'll have to go there, I suppose. But there is one thing I want to ask you about."
"What is that?"
"When I left the baby with you there was a gold locket suspended from his neck. Did you find it?"
"Yes, I found it."
"I'll thank you if you'll give it to me. I meant to take it at the time, but I went away in a hurry, as you know, and I thought it would be safe in your hands."
"I can't let you have it to-day, Miss Gilman."
"And why not?" demanded Jane suspiciously.
"I deposited it with a party I had confidence in, for safe keeping," replied Mrs. Avery.
"Then I'll be glad to have you get it as soon as you can. I want it," rejoined Jane Gilman sharply.
