she objected hesitahngly.
"AIr. Sanger may like it or no" Bob
observed carelessly. "Sit down"
he went to the door himself and let
Sanger in. A minute later the two
men entered the library. Kathleen
saw a tan man in evening dress, who
bore himself with an air Of quiet con

Sanger bowed genially and laughed.
