this strange assignment. And at once
this assignment. strange as 1T was to
start with, took on an even stranger
twist-though this new turn was not
at once definitely apparent.
Clifford was curious concerning Jack
in his new role as n business man: and
haR an hour after leaving Mary he
was shown into an Office In a large
suite down. in the financial district.
Jack sprung" up eagerly from:a Uttered
desk. r1

1t was so agreed. Clifford left Jack
with one dominant impression: at
least this phase of Mary's scheme was
visibly suceeding-Jack, whom no one
had ever been able to get to go to
work before, seemed tightly anchored
to his job.
The next evening clifford

Clifford began to think. That
