"Doubt?" repeated Miss Woodhull with no little asperity. "You will hardly doubt the evidence of my own eyesight, will you Miss Stetson? I _saw_ that person cross the gallery and enter the south wing. Be good enough to go down to the gymnasium and call the roll. I desire to know if all the girls are accounted for." To judge by Miss Stetson's expression she was none too well pleased by the principal's tone. Nevertheless, she repaired to the gym and ignoring Mrs. Bonnell's assurance that no girls were missing proceeded to call the roll. Of course all responded. Meanwhile, Miss Woodhull had summoned Jefferson, who if no less superstitious, was backed up by her august presence, and together they mounted the stairs and made a room-to-room inspection, peering into every closet or any possible hiding place. Not a sign of human being was found until they came to the study of Suite 10, then a faint sound was audible in bedroom A beyond. Quicker than it would seem possible for a person of her proportions to move, Miss Woodhull entered the study, reached the electric switch and turned on the lights, calling at the same moment: "Who is in that room?" There was no reply, and the irate lady, speedily covering the distance between the electric switch and the bedroom door, turned on the light in that room also. There stood Tweedle-dee. He had removed his mask and was about to don a long gray automobile coat. "What are you doing here, Beverly, when I gave explicit orders that no one should leave the gymnasium?" demanded Miss Woodhull, frowning portentously upon the delinquent. "My costume is so thin I was cold. I came up after my coat, Miss Woodhull," was the smiling answer, spoken quite softly enough to turn away wrath. "You came in direct disobedience to my orders? You may now remain here for the rest of the evening." "Oh please, Miss Woodhull, let me go back. They are to have a reel," begged her victim. "No, I have spoken. You will remain in your room." Without more ado the defrauded one hurled herself into the middle of the bed, buried her head in the immaculate pillows and burst into a paroxysm of sobs. "You have brought this upon yourself. Had you obeyed me there would have been no occasion for this punishment." "I was freezing! I just won't stay stived up here while all the girls are having such fun in the gym. It isn't fair. I haven't done a single thing but get this coat," was sobbed from the bed, as a vigorous kick sent the eiderdown cover flying almost in Miss Woodhull's face. A little more energy would have compassed it. Miss Woodhull deigned no reply, but turning swept from the room locking the door behind her. She could deal summarily with rebellious pupils. Then the search was resumed under her eagle eye, but without results. Not a creature was to be found, and dismissing her followers she returned to the gym to get Miss Stetson's report. "Are _all_ the older pupils present?" she asked.
