the sound OF his footsteps died. And

Little by little she WAS piccing to-
geiicr the facts of the long. miserable
complication in the light Of what Per
| ry had Just told her II WIS absurdly
easy now that she held the key Of the
situation. She could understand every
thing how Wainwright had put her

latter. he had used Alwyns knowledge
OF the fact as weapon against the
young man: how Bennett had sought
to save her fortune and why he had
forbidden Perry TO bias her feelings
by telling of the generous act.

honorably aud as he thought would

self, fighting back the hot tears that
scared her eyes. But at least can

The sound Of voices In the corridor
reused her from her bitter reverie
She sprang up hastily. unwilling that
any should see her tenr stained face,
but the speakers. though they drew
near. did not enter Horrigan's office.
Instead. they stepped into the adJoin-
Ing committee room. The messenger
had left djar the door between the two
rooms. Realizing this and not wishing
to be seen. Dallas shrank back toward
the wall. fearful of detection. Then
the voice OF one Of the speakers sud
denly arrested her notice.
Well" Bennett WAS saying In no es-
pecially civil tones. you said you wish
ed to speak to me In private. What
have you to say? Re brief. for ] am

Finding herself the unwilling witness
to what promised to be confidential
talk. Dallas stole toward the door lead

out. She dared not enter alone the
crowded anteroom In her present state.

remain where she was. The sound OF
