and not being permitted to-. He and Hen
dcrSon talked over the plans for a little
longer, and il was decided that he had better
call up Wallace and ask him to dine that
evening. He looked up the number and
tclcphoncd. Wallacc's man answered that
his master was not yet up, but that he would
deliver the message as soon as he awakened.

"Aly aunt and are going out to tea: we

for the lool-in YOU are giving me tomorrow.
A FTER luncheon, Damon was summoned
"A to the telephone by the japanese, who
said that Wallace WIS on the wire. Damon
went to the receiver with wide smile Of an
ticipation.

TO Damon: but Henderson, who had heard
