I think Pamela is going to see Ste 1 phen now.'
 Mir. Judson frowned. l. And the frown remained on his face most of the way to police head l quarters.
 Mildred guessed that he was dis pleased with Pamela's engagement. but she had no doubt that Pamela would finally win his consent, as she had won all else she wanted. At police headquarters Mildred again wents over her story. answer ing innum arable questions, many of which seemed quite Irrelevant to her
 When Inspector Markeson finish ed with her and she left with MT. Judson to act for Stephens release. certain telephone wires in the city were buzzing with the news of her visit to headquarters. Back came terse, definite orders and from that moment on Mildred became marked person.
 Mir. Judson insisted that she re- main with him while he went through the red tape of putting up bonds fo. Stephen. but when it came to going 10 the jail she de- clned.
 Perhaps Pamela would be there, she thought.
 T must get back to my work, if I still have a job" she explained to her companion. I've forgotten to telephone"
 'Never mind" Mir. Judson as- sured her. You'd only have to re- sign anyway. You're coming back to your old place at the hotel. With an increase in salary. Besides, you know, you may get the reward"
 Mildred shook her head. She couldn't think of going back to where she'd be seeing Stephen and Pamela together. Neither could she think of accepting a reward for helping to apprehend Harold's mur- derer. Somehow she felt as though her insistence in making him talk had helped to bring about his end.

 "Yes?" Mr. Judson was watching her closely, puzzled by her lnan- ner. Beneath it's surface casualness he scnsed a deeper feeling.
 ''I think Stephen will be in dan ger the moment he is free" Mildred astonishcd him by saying.
 You do?"
 Mildred nodded. and almost un- consciously glanced over her shoul - der. AS she did So man a few doors down the street quickly turned his head and bent a closer inspection upon the display of ties in haber- dasher's window.
 Mildred did not notice him. Her action inspired by a general fear. was not influenced by any definite idea that she herself might be in danger.
 "Huck wanted him put in jail, ' she reminded MT. Judson. Tt won't suit his plans to have him out"
 Mr. Judson's lips frightened.
 You mean his plan to marr, my daughter he asked.
 Yes"
 But surely not even such mur derous scoundrel as he could con sider such a thing now," MT. Jud. son proclaimed. "He must be g man, after all, to have got himself on friendly terms with Pamela"
 "She probably thought it lark to know him. Mildred guessed astutely. "But I'll admit he doesn'r look like beast Still think ht will try to get what he wants. And one thing he wants is Stephen ou of the way. You will warn him, Mr
