"Have you found Cinderella?" Nancy asked presently.

"No; but I haven't given up all hope."

"Let me see it."

"Good gracious!"

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Why, this slipper has never been worn at all. It is brand new!" She was greatly bewildered.

"I know it," I replied; "I brought it myself."
