The Reason Madge "Tidied' Her -rse KM Fathers Room

At my fathers unexpected offer to mail the letter to which 1 had in adyertently referred, I flashed a quick. helplessly appealing glance ar Dicky's quick wits. He put his hand explain tn. embarrassing tarradid dle which he had told my father?
 He had said that the letter of which I had spoken with such culp- able carelessness was one to an in- suranLe agent in Marvin. And we were both guiltily conscious that the address was that of woman i'll Hampstead, the cousin of Linda Shellford, who was the outside link insA Grace Draper's precarious cona- rnunication with the world outside the circle to which espionage re- stricted her.
 That my father should not suspect our communication with Grace | Draper was vital to the success of our plan to have her pose for the Pennington illustrations. knew that if he had the slightest inkling of our scheme he would thwart it instantly. And with that certainty came a little pang of fear as if the going away of this devoted protector was an omen.
 But I need not have feared for Dtckyls quick wits. He put his hand in the breast of his coat, at the same 1 time speaking gratefully to my father.
 -'Thanks, Dad" he said That's awfully good of you" His hand as it came from his pocket was filled with envelopes, mostly torn open. but I knew that among them was the letter I had written so short a time ago. Dicky shuffled them, oooking them over at first assuredly, then Iinpatienty.
 t'What the deuce !'' he muttered then thrust the letters back into the pocket from which he had taken them, began to search through his other pockets. At last he looked up, registering such natural embarrass ment that I paid ental tribute to his histrionic ability.
 "A Narrow Squeak"
 You've certainly got to hang the beIlssa en,+me.'' he said, ruefully. "1 was sure I, had that thing with me 1t off on the evening train. There's the whistle, Dad. Shall get your ticket?''

 crushed the impulse, and silently
 drove away from the post office with a haunting little premonition of evil to come.
 Where to now, old dear?" Dicky asked idly "Ticer farm or our own?"
 Neither I returned, forcing

 "Yes," Dicky drawled, "and SUD- pose that If he left pin or a scrap of paper on the floor your con-

 I laughed and laid my hand on his with a light caress, for I knew that beneath his gibe lay a touch of re- sentiment for this very tendency of mine to revel in orderliness. Dicky, though fastidious to fault, is the most disorderfy person imaginable, and I waste more time picking up his belongings than I can well spare You ought to be thankful it isn't you this time,'' I, said lightly, and we talked of other things until we turned into the yard of the farm house where my father had roomed. I searched the room thoroughly. hardly acknowledging to myself that hoped to find some clue to his sudden journey. There was no fire- place. so he could not have burned the telegram, and in his waste
 basket were only few tnnocuous envelopes. He must nave put the pieces of the telegram in his pocket. for I knew his scrupulous habit of destroying all professional communt.
