Scarcely had the door closed behind
him before Olga was herself ransack-
ing the drawers of the desk. But the
book was not there. 1t must be in
the other, part of the house. As she
was leaving the consultation room to
continue her search elsewhere her eye
was caught by card which was lying
on top of the doctors engagement
book. She picked 1t up. 1t was the
card bearing Hopes message, the card

table close to the door, but screened
by palms, so that he and Olga were
enabled to watch all who entered or
left the room without themselves
being seen. Though Olga had dis
carded the dustcoat which she had
worn in the afternoon, she had draped
about her hat heavy veil which could
instantly be dropped over her face
in case Of necessity. 49,"
