IN TWO PARTS-PART TWO
She looked more mature in her street
clothes, the professor noted as she
came toward the table with a blonde
girl in the wake Of Gaylord, the man
ager, who introduced her as miss
Lord" and the blonde as Miss Shaw"
and sat down in the chair the profess
sor held for her. But she paid no more
attention to him. Her interest seemed
focused on Bill.
You are Mr.. Gaylord's friend, aren't
you, MI. Everson?" she asked.
"He said a Voa an Wera' %b IT nspe = so o.,

Bill looked from her to the professor.

I've seen that group a million times.
But I don't see how ..." He paused,
embarrassed again.

"Oh, we're quite Intelligent. Professor.
Did you know that in 2 psychological

"Oh, don't mind Evelyn" the blonde
drawled over her highball. "She's a
little touchy about men. She left her
home town to get away from one, and
somebody oversold her on New Workers
as city SlickerS."
Il don't think my personal history is
at all interesting, Marion Evelyn's

into her angry eyes. I'm sorry to see
a smart girl like you with such a wrong
impression of the professor and me.
Neither of us had any design more sin

tory, and he is obsessed by anything
having to do with Greece. I could get
you all kinds Of references for either
of us. But time presses. And, If you
consider u company dangerous, or
even unwelcome,. we are flattered, nat
urally, but we will excuse you and ask
forgiveness for the intrusion"
Her eyes held his, but he was smiling
and Marion suddenly laughed. Evelyn's
smile broadened slowly as the anger
went out of her eyes.
Let me be sorry" she said and her
hand plucked an imaginary something
from her shoulder. There goes the
chip: Just what DO you Know about
professor is pretty formal" the
professor pointed out. my given name
is Michael. Perhaps, you can make
something out of it. Mike is shorter
than professor. Not that I intend to
presume"
The professor never knew the hours
pass 50 quickly. He was sure the four
but IS or, at the most, 20 minutes and
suddenly it was 3 o'clock and they were
ready to go home. Marion lived down
town, Evelyn in n of the East Fifties.
Climbing into the taXicab with Evelyn,
he gave the driver her address and sat
back to make the most of the few min
utes of conversation that remained.
But the girl was not inclined to con-
v%ersation. She was suddenly v
and kept turning in the seat and look
ing through the small real window.
After her third peek, she explained.
do you remember Marion saying I
was suspicious of men9" she asked.

came to New York two months ago, q
man has followed me everywhere I
now"
The professor looked back and
picked out the cab. Sure enough, 1t
was dawdling behind them, adapting
its pace to theirs. Their own cab
spoke to the driver.
"Never mind the address" he or
dered. Turn uptown on Fifth and go
through Central Park" He sat back
in his seat. "Now tell me about It," he
'sThat's all there is to TELL" she in
sisted. "A large man with black hair
followed me ever since I arrived here.
I'VE come to know him so well that I
often feel like speaking to him."
why haven't you notified the po-
lice?"
I'm afraid that might cause some
undesirable publicity. Besides he has
me around. When I pass him as I've
often done by turning suddenly and
walking back he avoids my eyes. #
we're In a shopping district, he pretends
to be studying q window display"
But he annoys you, doesn't hep"
he persisted.
."Well," she laughed II wouldn't
miss him If he went away"
HE is going away" he told her
grimly as the cab swung into the Park
at seth street. Tonight" He felt a
pleasant, unfamiliar tingling in the
muscles of his shoulders, chest and
arms and they tensed at the look In
her eyes. She trusted himl
A glance through the rear window
assured him that the cab was still fol-
lowing them and he leaned forward.
