hurricane of emotion. His face was

a mirror, halted and himself was
stunned by the transeendant mask
which covered his soul in revolt. The

He closed his eyes dreamily; and
his thoughts reverted from Doctor

"Carol-Carol !" he murmured. "One

With the cigarette dropping from his
lips, he stood up and swept clear
space in the table. From his suitcase
he eXhumed a tablet of thin transpar-
ent writing paper of kind not sold in
America; 1t was the paper on which
the letter to Cullen from Richard Nor
gan had been written, and it was sheer
luck that Hilliard had brought the re-
mainder of the tablet from New York
with him. He tossed a blob of ink
from his fountain pen and inspected it
critically.
'"Too black" he decided, and went to
the bathroom, where he half-emptied
the reservoir of the pen and refilled it
with water
"That ought to be just about right
!. sort of pale and mysterious and
war-strength."
He seated himself at the table, took
the pen in his left hand and inscribed
circles on the paper; scrubbed a
meaningless sentence and laughed
gently.
"Funny how some people can be
ambidextrous and take so long to
realize it. If hadn't caught bullet
