rang.
"Hvllo," he said curtiy.

wire. If you are not busy, | wish
you would drop in at my rooms this

has occurred to me~which l would
like to discuss with you"
McCarty gave an eXasperated
wrench 1T the collar and flung it on
the floor.
I'm sorry. sir" he replied firmly,
"but I've got an engagement for this

Carly hung up the receiver and,
rolling up Il bit Of paper, he stuffed

tent whir when Dennis appeared at
last.
They dined hurriedly at their IA
Norite chop house and reached the
thcater just as the orchestra was
starting the overture. From their
seats in the third row Depnis craned

in the arrangement of the exits.

and snorted.
"A iue kind of job for Tcrry's
daughter he commented. "She
must be doing we'll, though. She's a
eViilagcr in the first act and model
and hunt bah guest whatever that
is'--in the second, and In the third
she's 'Babotte.'
'Thatli mean she's got y line t.

True for you, Mac" he muttered
She could shoot up like a water

Later he sat in solitary state in the

door and furtively scanned the face
