Helen's Strange Boarder

Description

Helen meets a strange girl, Jean Ridgeway, in Bronx Park. Jean induces Helen to bring her home to the Blythes' apartment. Jean recounts an amazing story of how her uncle poisoned her in order to steal her money. Jean has fled from her uncle and urges the Blythes to let her stay. The story takes a strange twist when the Blythes discover that Jean's story exactly matches the plot of a popular novel, even as to the meeting of an artist in a park. How can this be? Jean's story is the greatest mystery the sisters have ever encountered, and its solution is equally startling.
