When all three finally met at the

took Jones by the shoulders and
kissed him lightly on the cheek.
Jones started back, pale and dis
turbed.
Norton laughed. He did not feel
the slightest twinge Of jealousy. but
he was eaten up with envy, as the old
wives say.
"You are wondering If suspect the

acter. The reporter found himself
side glancing at the thin, keen face of
this resourceful butler. The lobe of

Norton reached for a cigarette, but
his hands shook as he lit it. There
was a peculiar little scar in the cen
ter of the lobe.

evidence that she has been concerned
