He paused. Tonight was the

she slipped off her ring and

MARCIA QUITS HIM

Marcia turned and struck &C
Dick. In her desperation she cast
all restraint to the winds. Her
hand hit his cheek and left red
mark. He stood there without
moving.
He felt desperately sorry for
Marcia. But what could he do2
She wept for a while, but Dick did
not move.
I'm going now" she said In
stifled voice. She made an APP
pealing gesture toward him. But
Dick did not even see.
The telephone was ringing. He
turned hurriedly to answer it.
Ernest informed him that the tele-
phone calls to Serge's apartment
were coming from around Thirty
fourth Street and Ninetieth Az.
enue.
He made notes as he talked.
Good. No, I won't be here long.
I'm going on"
When he turned back to Marcia
she had regained some of her com
posure.
II still give you a chance, Dick.
Come tonight and we'll forget
everything"
That is impossible"
He helped her on with her coat,
went to the door with her.
She was struggling to keep back
the SobS. II couldn't have held
you anyway, even if I'd married
you," she said at last. Ruth told
me that a long time ago, but I
didn't believe her"
Dick held out his hand, but she
could not see it for her tears.
Then she left him.
Dick threw the ring on the
mantel and hurried to freShen I'D.
He felt old and worn. Now he was
free. But Karen! They had to get
her tonight. They had to-!
He reached the Mallory home at
a quarter to 6, in a taxi. Then
came the last-minute wait for In.

Finally the doorbell rang. Jay
answered. It was another special
delivery letter, mailed from Times
Square.

in washington Square at 8 o'clock,
You will find your instructions for
tonight. Go alone"
Karen's own signature was on
the bottom Of the sheet of paper.
a feeble signature. They tried to
eat some dinner, but it was a dis
NAL failure. Mrs. Mallory did not
attempt to come down. The three
men ate in solitary grandeur and
made little pretense of keeping up
a conversation.
Finally at $3.50, Mallory put on
his hat and light overcoat, and
the chauffeur brought around the
car.
you'll drive for me, Dick?"
The Judge climbed into the
chauffeur's seat and they went
leisurely downtown.
ATTEMPTING CONTACT
Promptly at o'clock Dick pulled
the car UP on the side of the
square and Mallory walked across
to the statue. He walked casually.
Children were roller-Skating about
the walk. Sweethearts were stroll
ing.
Mallory paced up and down
awhile before he went over to the
base of the statue. He walked
around it. He could see no note.
He began to hunt about for some
word. There was nothing.
Back and forth he walked, pac-
ing restlessly. If anybody noticed
his perturbation nobody turned a
head. Now and then a man APP
preached. Mallory's heart would
pound. But nothing happened.
Finally, at 10 o'clock he gave It
up, went back to the car and
climbed in without word. Dick
started back uptown at a leisurely
speed.
"Dick. I can't stand this much
longer!" Mallory was Sobbing
openly.
IF something doesn't happen to-
night, We'll call in the police to-
morrow. We've tried to keep faith.
But there's nothing left"
