She glanced up to see Dan watch

thing almost unbearably sweet
flooded her heart with joy. But 1t
was to his mother he spoke.
"She's perfectly right, mother.
We can get there almost as soon

Mrs. Palmer had risen to her

Presently she telephoned Mrs.

Palmers were to say good-by to
Miss Hutchinson at 2. but would
follow the others to Mountainhead

Dan telephoned; instantly both
women were all alert. Beatrice was
not at the Ingersolls'. had not been

demanded the hour at which Miss
Hutchinson was to leave for Chi

had forty minutes in which to catch
