CHAPTER {

WHEN SARA SUE DAVIS
slipped on her negligee at II p. m.
to answer her front door bell, she
had no intention of admitting any
one. She imagined it might be an
emergency call. Possibly a tele-
gram. Or-or-a anything. She
peeked through her tiny window to
see the bow-legged man standing
in the rain. Then she unattached the
door and opened it a crack.
1.-THE cottage is closed for the
night" she told him.
"Oh, please"
She did not know him. But he
held out his hand in supplication.
He was well dressed. He was
youngish, but the horn-rimmed
glasses he wore made him appear
older; they and his strained ex-
preston. He seemed to be in some
sort Of trouble. He spoke hating
ly at first. Almost a whisper.

see you! You are Mrs. Davis 2"
Sara Sue had a normal curiosity.
This obviously was no student.

besides, my memberships are

and"
ooh my dear Mrs. Davis! All?
Am I, then, too late ?"
Sara Sue studied the man close
ly. Was this some sort of gag?
Was Bob Towne behind this !? She
opened the door an inch wider to
inspect him.
He could be nothing but sincere.
She restrained an urge to laugh at
him. for he did look comical there
in the rain. All at once it dawned
on her that she was being rather
ungracious, inhospitable. The rain
and wind were cold.
Please step in for a moment,
