 NOW GO ON WITH THE sTOR, ~t"s stgL El CHAPTER xxx. "Yes, Jim, what is it?" Gyps. asked impatiently. She held thu telephone receiver tightly agains her ear but the voice across tn, wire was jumbled and indistinct What is it? I can't hear you" | There was a pause. .if
 Hear me better now?'' lin asked.
 "Yes."
 Mrs Fowler's confessed"
 "What?"
 q said Mrs Fowler's confessed she killed her husband. Came dowr here this morning and told me the whole story. She says she did 1t tc save the boys life. The Woman's a complete wreck"
 But waht about Nina?"
 "She's acquitted. That's what called you about. Would it be all right to send her out to the house I don't want the reporters to get another chance at her and if she goes to that place where she roomed that's what will happen"
 "Why, of course. Where is she now?"
 "Here in my office. If you think it's all right, I'll bring her out"
 Bring her." Gypsy said. Lunch will be ready when you get here"
 She left the telephone for a nasty consultation with the cook. Gypsy was upstairs putting out fresh linen in the guest room when she heard the front door open. She hurried down.
 Nina Roberts was sitting in the big chair in the living room. Jim turned as Gypsy entered. Well" he said, grinning, i've wont"
 "Oh, I'm so glad! I was so wor- ried until you telephoned. Nina isn't it wonderful?"
 The girl had been crying. She touched her handkerchief to her eyes. 'Tt's fine of you to let me come here. Mrs Wallace" she said.
 "Why, we're glad to have you. Of course! Would you like to go up- stairs now or shall we have lunch first?"
 Gypsy led the way. The guest room was not large but 1t had abundant sunshine. The walls were green and cream colored and the taffeta drapes were apricot.
 "The bath is through here," Gypsy said, opening door. 'I hope you'll find everything to make you comfortable. There's powder here and cold cream if you want it. I'll leave you now if you don't mind. I'm dying to have Jim tell me everything that happened"
 Nina stood in the middle of the room looking about. She seemed bewildered.
 At the door Gypsy hesitated. "Luncheon will be ready whenever you come down." she said. Then she went out and hurried down the stairs.
 Jim was not in the living room. She glanced into the library and saw him standing with his back to- ward her.
 "Oh. Jim," the girl began as she went toward him. "Tell me what happened. It must have been terri bly exciting! l want to know all about it!"
 Jim swung around. "Exciting!" he exclaimed. "It was the most in- credible thing I evef saw in my life! Bonnet was just about to be- gin summing up the case. I didn't want to leave the courtroom. The message they handed me said a woman was waiting and that she had something important to tell me thought it was a mistake and then well. it was the merest luck ir the world that I went to see her When I saw her face of course knew who it was. Lord--what g morning!"
 But what did she tell you?" Well, for a while it didn't sound believable. but 1t must be true. The woman was in torment. At first sht was so incoherent I couldn't make heads or tails of what she said Kept begging me to help her and said she did 1t for Bobby's sake Then she grew little quieter and I got the story. Mrs Fowler says che came to her husbands office shortly before six o'clock She had the boy with her. She opened the door and went in. There was nc one there except Fowler. It seems they'd been quarreling for weeks about the child. When Fowler saw 'the boy he was angry He'd tolt
