As she reached for a flatiron her hand stopped in midair.
A fat black wallet! Instantly she knew who had placed it there.

That poor Johnny Two-Hawks! Kitty lifted out the wallet from behind the flatirons.

No doubt of it, Johnny Two-Hawks had placed it there when she had gone to the speaking tube to summon the janitor.

Not knowing if he would ever call for it! Preferring that she rather than his enemies should have it.

And without a word! What a simple yet amazing hiding place; and but for the need of a flatiron the wallet would have stayed there until she moved.
