Barbara went down the inner
corridor and knocked at Bruce's

the knob. The door was locked.
She left the suite by the rear door

the word, he drew back. In an in

gone back into the office, closing
the door in her face.
Barbara almost staggered as she
turned away. In the front hall, the
crowd had disappeared. She opened
the door of the Manners, Stone and
Reynolds Company and found a
throng Inside.
The bald little Mr.. Stone was
standing on a desk trying to talk.
Barbara pushed through to the

leaped from the desk and seized her
