Transcriber's Notes:
Added table of contents.
The title story of this issue originally appeared in _Fame and Fortune_
#341. The later reprint represented in this e-text contains some
condensations (for example, the first two chapters of the original
version are combined into a single chapter here), several chapter title
variations, and the removal of many paragraph breaks.
Retained some inconsistent hyphenation (e.g. suit-case vs. suitcases,
to-day vs. today).
Retained some inconsistent spelling (e.g. Pittsburg vs. Pittsburgh).
Bold is represented by =equal signs=, italics by _underscores_.
Page 5, renumbered "The Missing Diamond" from Chapter V to Chapter IV.
Page 6, changed "Piont" to "Point" in Chapter V title.
Page 7, changed "attack it to" to "attach it to."
Page 8, changed "containing silverwire" to "containing silverware" and
"porprietor" to "proprietor."
Page 9, changed "wasd not very" to "was not very." Replaced misprinted
text "inventory of the loss showed that it was not very" (a duplication
of text lower on the page) with "their statement, for he knew exactly
what was in" (the correct text recovered from the earlier appearance in
_Fame and Fortune_ #341).
Page 10, added missing quote after "him to wear."
Page 13, the last line of the column ("him, so Dick laid himself out to
please her. He") was accidentally duplicated between "Monday morning"
and "eleven o'clock." This duplicate text has been removed.
Page 16, changed "Fnish" to "Finish" in Chapter XI title.
Page 19, added missing "you" to "I'd like you to know."
Page 20, added missing quote after "BIG DEAL."
Page 21, changed "becomoing" to "becoming" in "becoming cinema stars."
Page 22, changed "consel" to "counsel," "plantiff" to "plaintiff" and
"objecions" to "objections."
Page 23, changed "rank any overpowering" to "rank and overpowering" and
"Foresrty" to "Forestry."
Page 24, the line "ing her, although Walden had uttered no threats" is
missing from this printing between "vague alarm concern-" and "against
her." The text has been filled in from a later reprint of the story, in
_Fame and Fortune_ #828.
Changed "thatt villain, Walden" to "that villain, Walden."
Unnumbered pages, added missing quote after "usually the limit." Added
semi-colon after "Courtship." Changed "In fact, a reporer" to "In fact,
a reporter." The address "438 West 63rd Street" is a best guess based
on very blurry printing.
