CHAPTER XXXII.
MULBERRY BILLY’S “FIND.”
Margie Marne came out of the hospital shortly after her terrible experience in the house guarded by Nora.
Her escape had bordered on the miraculous, and the girl was glad to get back to the humble home she occupied.
Her first thought was of the woman who had been her jaileress and she wondered if Nora herself had escaped the flames.
Having a fair acquaintance with Billy, the street Arab, she sought out the boy, and fortunately found him.
Billy had heard of Nora’s suicide, and he at once posted Margie.
“By the way,” said the little fellow, “I’ve made a find.”
“You? What have you discovered, Billy?”
“Something that I am going to show to Mr. Carter just as soon as I find him.”
