 "Well Tn be alarmed" he com. monrod.
 After moments thought, he re- sumed. You can't have Mona and inc boys al this house, though" ' "Why nota' sho demanded.
 'Because I'm not emaucipa1ed. he said, dryly. "You may be a free soul. but I'm old-fashioned. don't mind your having the chorus here, but I've been seen around town vii Mona, and she's got 10 stay at th hotel And so have those danci. boys"
 Them" ALdrey's voice vas filled with a fine contempt. The boys cant do any harm, They're weak 1ishwater."
 Morton was firm. 'T'm not going 10 have dishwater in my house. Not q fhiS writine-and not with eight or ten noisy chorus girls flashing around. We're likely Q be raided as if is."
 Audrey laughed delightedlv, Wouldn't that be great? I'd just LIKE 10 see it happen"
 See what happen" "Soe ITS raidcd," she proclaimed. Wouldn't that stir this old town mp"
 "FIumph." was his only comment
 r was with real pain that Parrish at the office later in the morning, re- ceivol Morton's instructions. He took, in shorthand. a telegram 10 Abe Sunshine. and another 10 Mona, asking that the entire cast Of the revue be sent 10 New Britain forth with as the guests of the Morton household. Morton included an .n- vitation to Sunshine himself.
 Add a line to Abe's message" said Morton, as an afterthought. Say; Will continue rehearsals here"
 Parrish moved his notebook away from him.
 This is q terrible thing, NIr. Nor ton" he said.
 Its confounded nonsense" his employer agreed. "But Audrey has made up her mind to it."
 Paris tapped his pencil on the desk. You indulge her too much. sir" he said, with emphasis.
 Morton surveyed him quizzically. Have you ever tried combating the young lady's wishes?"
 Parrish arose, and moved 10 the door. Several times" he responded but without much success"
 Toward noon. Audrey called up 10 say that she had ordered several new dresses-low cut, the ones for eve ming" she added And the others are just too gay for words
 Your idea is to shock the public of New Britain" he inquired.
 You said it." she responded. as she hung up.
 Morton was laughing as he sci down the telephone. but gradually hls face fell. He lapsed into q brown study his arms folded upon the ta- bic and his eyes fixed vacantly on th" wall Once when Parrish entered. Morton waved him away with an impatient gesture.
 Parrish laid q telegram on the table. and withdrew. Morton did moi look at if.
 With a heavy sigh. he turned at last to his desk. and opened small drawer. that was concealed behind the upper curve of the lid. He drew from it the packet of papers that he had examined several times before in tho last few weeks, and slowly united tape that bound it,
 Laying the faded letters and pho- tographs on the walnut table, one by one, he carefully picked two of inc pictures. and several of the let ters and laid them to one side. His hands moved heavily as he restored he remainder of the package to its hiding place. Tho papers he had laid aside, he clipped together with a hit of wire. and left upon his desk.
 Then he turned 10 the telephone, and called Audrey.
 She responded with excited chat for ahoUt the coming visit Of the members of her revue. He listened until shc was done.
 "Thore was something else.' he told hor can you come 10 the office. right away?"
 He hung ID, and sinking back in his chair, waited until she appeared, half an hour later
 She nuttered into the room, with laughing inquiry.
 "'Sit here," he told her,
 As she oheyed. he took one of the photographs and handed it to her, silently She took it., and looked at tho dimmed likeness that il bore.
 Why" she cried, that looks ex- actly like me"
