when they had begun to walk again.
That cannot attract attention, even
if she does look round, and 1t explains
a good many things. It's in the thin

Van Torp fumbled in the pocket of
his jacket, and brought out the slip
of newspaper without the envelope,
precaution which Margaret noticed
and approved.
She watched him intently while he
read the printed report, but his face
did not change in the least. At that

shade of his expression through the

hers at all He finished reading,
folded the slip carefully, and put in
