She turned off the coupe lights and

to show her clear young eyes where to

Clinton followed the girl to his door
and watched her sprightly departure
down the corridor. When she disap-
peared in the elevator he stepped back
and nodded to the attendant.
"Tell Doctor Kirkland do not wish

The door closed noiselessly. Gin

on the hot-water radiator window

He reached over to the other side.
One of the screws in that corner
turned under the twist of his finger

He drew it shut. pushed up the win
dow, and stepped down to examine the
window-seat radiator. There was
nothing about 1t to which Il line could
be fastened. He stepped up again and
looked at the window cord. Taken
together, the cords of both sashes

A small table was presently brought
in, and the meal served as neatly as in

was excellent, though noticeable for
the absence of all highly seasoned

Neither wine nor coffee nor even tea
was served. Clinton drank his creamy

There was no reply. Clinton sat
