"Mr. Blackwood," she cried, where
Is he? Where can he be?"
Mr.. Blackwood endeavored to or
ganize his thought. His ideas. he
realized, were somewhat raddled. Il

at once. You've given me a number
of things to think about. I've never

As he looked at her now the light
was shining in her upturned face
and striking with lambent radiance
upon her brow. Mr.. Blackwood ex-
perienced on ugly shock.
"Um-er-Miss Gray!" he finally
said. lis it possible that you have red
hair?"
She seemed surprised and troubled,
and her hand pushed upward to touch
the tawny masses under her ridiculous
hat.
Why" she replied, Il suppose I
have. Mr. Blackwood-if you can call
it red. But 1t isn't so very red, you
know. And what difference does 1t

what do you do? How did you meet

II am a student-at the Art In

I write little, too. I wanted to do
some work for the radio, II could.
So I wrote a letter to Percy-to Mr..
Jones-and he invited me. to meet
him at the studio one evening. That
was how it happened"
do they know you at the studio?"
Probably not" she said. Il have
never been there since. Apparently
Percy thought it would be just as
we'll if"
quite So" said Blackwood.
Well, well, what lowdown this
Percy was! And here he was en-
deavoring to clear the fellow. His
old dislike of the announcer came
back to him with redoubled vigor.
He shrugged. "It's quite possible
that the police have found your let

I suppose you did. They've found
somebody's, anyway" 1t had been
