CHAPTER LxxxIX.


 When I got back to the canteen l found it huddfng in silence on the edge of the sidewaIk-dark and shut tered for the night.
 I rattled the door frantically, and crouched on the steps to peer through the chinks of the latticework walls. But friendly greeting reached out to welcome me. There was only a blinking cat proving
 This was a frightful disappoint- ment, for when darted off my car and raced back to the canteen I'd never doubted that I should find the Lieutenant there and be able to inn press her with the story of CarIotta Sturges' cleverness in preventing me from using the anonymous cigarettes.
 I had felt confident that this bit of finesse and thoughtfulness would counteract any blunder Carlotta had made-and save her the Humiliation of being transferred from our unit. her this, and I wanted to pay it at once.
 I gave one last vindictive rattle to the doorknob. and then laughed at my own frenzy of disappointment.
 Whats the matter. sister-1ose something?" asked a mans voice.
 It sounded jovial-too jovia1. I strengthened up resentfully, but not at all tirnidly, and looked into the puzzled eyes of a splendid, big police man.
 "Yes, I've lost something's chance to pay off a debt,'' said.
 He grinned good-naturedIy and shook his head.
 Run along home and pay your bills in the morning when the cash ier's around,' said he.S For if you go proving about like this I'll have to

conclude you're planning to take whats none of yours sooner than pay ing what you owe."
 I'm not crazy, officer I protested.
 'No-an' you're not any lighter in the fingers than you are in the head maybe. I'll believe it for about one more minnit. But run now, before I do be running you in"
 I ran. But the clock on the corner registered 9:30 long before my car came Then I remembered uneaSily that I'd told Jim I would be home by 8:30. It would be all of 10 now be- fore I got there. At our corner I stopped for a minute to buy some wonderful rusSet pears. Jim's favor ite fruit might help me coax him into good mood.
 When reached our apartment there was no one in the hall, so I ran up the three flights of stairs with out waiting for the elevator. I fitted my open almost me1odramatically It did seem, so absurd for me to be marching home to my deserted hus-
 band at 10 o'clock of the night. But the apartment was dark and empty. Its stiffness seemed to crouch ready to spring at me. I had a queer feeling that I wasn't home at all, but still down at that silent and shuttered canteen. This dark, un- friendly place couldn't be my own home.
 If it were my home Jim would be there waiting for me. I sniffed vain1y for a whiff of his old briar pipe. But no warm, friendly cloud of tobacco waited itself to me from the blurry An aroma of strangeness seemed to steep the place. I put out my hand I and switched on the lights. And still
 my little home looked odd and unfa- miliar. I told myself that was be- cause it was empty of Jim. Almost timidly I crossed the room, There, propped against his own pie

in Jim's writing I stood weighing it in my hand for a second before I opened it. Then, still standing with my heavy coat slipping back from my shoulders, I twisted open the bit of paper and read Jim's message:
 Dear Annie:
 Game home at S:3O, as we agreed, and sat here on pins and needles for half. an hour. Then called the can teen and got no answer Waited till 9:3o. You aren't a child, and I'm not going to be fool enough to worry about you But I don't propose to sit home and wait for you any longer. Don't know when I'll be back
