CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

VXTHAT had happened at Hilltop
w inn, as Bowen told it, was
this:
After waiting in vain for Mary
to telephone him, he had hired a
car and driven out the Dixie high
way to the inn to see for himself
what happened to her.
He found the place empty except
for the proprietor and went inside
the frame shack to telephone the
ambassador and ask if she was
there.
While standing at the wall tele-
phone, he heard party arrive and
seat themselves at a porch table.
They were quiet enough at first,
ordering soft drinks over which the
woman cooed with interest, but
presently their voices rose excitedly.
Bowen, who was enduring one of
those interminable waits which
seem to ensue whenever a hotel
clerk is assailed by a request for
information, exchanged amused
plances with the waiter and they
both frankly listened.
The argument seemed to be over

demanded repeatedly, grasping her
wrist.

the woman protested 1T was given
to me to hold as security for a loan

THE quiet this statement induced
in the Infatuated lover was more
ominous than his rage, however.

whom? De Loma2"

mockingly. You don't know the dangers.
without your strange spears that spits fire

Paris cafes. Bowen began to fear
that he was to be kept smothering
behind the hot wooden wall of the
