his departure from Whitaker's bach

Picking his way across a floor lit

guide-bOOks, he went to the bathroom
and took bottle of choral from the
medicine closet.
What he took brought him three
hours Of oblivion. He rose at eight,
ordered his breakfast up by telephone,
bathed and dressed. When the tray
came up, his mail came with it. Among
others there was one letter in which
he read:

because you're Peters dearest friend and
therefore mine, and the proof of that IS
that I'm. telling you first of all of our
great happiness. Peter and 1 found out
that we loved one another only yesterday
so We're going to be married the first of
June and e. :"
Whitaker read no more. He could
guess the rest, and for the moment
he felt too sick a man to go through
to the end. Indeed, the words were
blurring and running together beneath
his gaze
After long time he put the letter
aside, absent-mindedly swallowed a
cup of lukewarm coffee and rose from
an otherwise untasted meal.

said quietly. "And it means I've got

Whitaker packed a handbag with

of choral. He was not yet quite sure
what he meant to do after he had de-

doubt that the drug was destined to
play most important part in the ulti-
mate solution, and would as readily
