 to Meet Betty Kane.
 "Ho may have news by the time I reach there" l mechanically re- peated. as my father finished read ing the code message from Hugh Grantland. which demanded that I take the first train for Cedar Crest. while pretending-in order to de- ceivc Grace Draper-that I was being taken to the hospital.
 May have news P' As the stgni- ficance of the words rushed over me l sprang to my feet as if galvanized. With the prospect of something Tor me to do to aid in my child's re- covery. felt strong and courageous. It was the deadly inaction that had made an automaton of me.
 ''The hospital How is it to be manaFcd7 I'm afraid the authorities will baik at the scheme. If only pr. Petit were back. He could arrange it." I said. and Robert Savarin in- terposed quietly:
 "Dr Petit returned this morning.
 ''Then, Robert" I made rapid calculation. twill you ind Dr. Petit at once. explain the scheme to him, and ask him to engineer it? l will be ready to Eo in the ambulance long before it can get here. And l must pretend to be sick here, so that Katie and Jim will not suspect where I have gone. Jim could keep n straight face under Grace Drapers questioning.

 "Whnt yews?"
 From tho moment pt seemed to me that I was the center of a mael- strom. So quickly did things move. Safe In my room, with the help of Leiia-wide- with excitement at the plan and her share in it, yet won derfully quick and cfficicnt-I packed for my tourney. taking only the most necessary changes for myself. but niiing my suitcase and bag will all sort of clothing and toys for my baby boy. should this journey mean his regtoration to me.

 Then drcwcd. and. putting on . kimono over my clothing. lay down on the bed. ready for the farce of being carried to the ambulance.
 Tn the interval of waiting my father brought to me n message from Tom chestcr that Inc had established an effective espionage upon the man across the road.
