OF course, she'd met him. A
foolish thing to do, perhaps, but
it had all been SO foolish. Yet
she could not have been other
than grateful to the handsome,
blue-eyed youth who'd pulled
her from the water at Lake
Placid when the canoe upset.
OF course, it had been foolish
for them to write to one an
other, to take his frat pin, and
to meet him even for a single
luncheon. She knew she was
to marry Byran Arnold. She
knew she should not have even
the most innocent outside fir

But he had been attractive
she mused pensively, and for q
time forgot the predicament.
Then her eyes began to flash.
She'd fight!
She'd show them no one

After all there was little to
back up any story they might
take to Byram. She had given
back to the young man from
the Lakes the letters he'd writ
ten her. He'd given her the
ones she wrote to him. He had
his frat pin, too. There was
nothing.
Jangling Of the doorbell
brought her suddenly back to
earth. She heard voices in the
hall and then Evans came to
the library door with q pack.
She tore it open, and picked
out quickly a single sheet Of
typewriter note paper.
''You probably feel SAFE" the
message ran, because you have
your letters back. But the
Eye does not move without a
well-guarded attack. The letters
were ell photostated before
they were returned to you.
Copies are enclosed for you to

She dropped the note, and
went through the other papers
with fingers that shook, though
she bit her lips TO bring back
some Semblance Of control.
They, it, he, she--the Eye
did have them photostated.
