 Morrison took a badge from beneath the lapel of his coat and pinned 1t to my blouse. I smiled and hoped he didn't notice that my smile was cyni- cal. l smiled because I was trying to reach my husbands heart by means of my brain when only beauty could storm and hold that citadel
 Do you mean to say that Chrys has been lured into writing to somebody she thinks is Hamilton Certeis?" Bob demanded.
 nodded.
 Good Lord." groaned Bob. That comes of her ouija obsession. She's trieked by the wish in her own mind She has always insisted that Certeis Is not dead because she keeps spelling out the dope with her alphabet. Of course it would be easy for any fool to humbug her. And she's so darn sane about most things!"
 There's more to my story, Bob and Jim-and Mr. Morrison." Then l repeated part of the tale the old woman of the hacienda had spun as We bleached the linen
 She said that the new owner was just over from Spain and that he was a most adorable gentleman. He had fitted up the hacienda as if for a queen.

 At this, Bob did move uneasily.
 "Oh lai lai" thought l. Bob can! bear to hear me enthuse over a mans blue eyes, even at the very time his own mind is absorbed in admiration oi girls tawny tresses!"
 "Janel" said Jim so seriously tha, I jumped. I'm ready to swear ths man we saw as we took off from that field was Hamilton Certeis. I'd sweal I saw him on a New York dock, too But, my dear, I do not think he ha. come back from the dead He is hidin5 in Mexico, and carrying on his in fernal game. He never went down into the sea last summer, Sissy dear Yol were mistaken in the man who wor, the Certeis' patient diving suit"
