the city. There were many things
to be done. The roadster slid
through the streets rapidly-to
the main office of the telegraph
company-to the wood
Branch-to the Capitol Garage
on Veasey Street, to the Eureka
Garage on Post Street, to the
Continental Garage on Main-to
the Green Shutter Tea Room.
Then at 4 o'clock Marcella had
said: Thanks, Peter-and good
BY" Now it was 5 o'clock and she
was sitting in the Dragon Room
at the Palace Hotel, the tips Of
her elbows balanced on the black
enameled cocktail table, her slim
hands folded under her chin.
On the table were saucers Of
potato chips, popcorn, cheese
Straws and two drinks in tall,
frosted glasses. Marcella was
looking steadily across that table
into Hans eyes and there was no
fear in her own. She said, levelly:
Hans, 1 want a divorce"
Hans laughed. Don't" he said,
keep harping on that. Any topic,
even a spicy one like Reno, can
become monotonous."
"Even-murder?" And now her
eyes we're quietly amused.
Hans said, darkly: What do
you mean?"
Just this :" said Marcella.
CHAPTER XIV
Peter, standing in the shadows
Of the lobby of the Palace Hotel,
kept his eyes on the couple in the
Dragon Room. He could see the
look Of calm, cold establishment
on Hans face as Marcella began
to talk. He knew exactly what
Marcella was going to say. They
had spent all afternoon finding
out if there was any loophole
through which Hans could slip
when he was confronted with Mar
cella's accusations; any possible
reason why the evidence she had
built against him would not stand
up.
For the oblong Of yellow paper
that Marcella had found in
Tommy'S wallet at the hospital
was a telegram. A telegram to
Tommy at his New York hotel
that read:
NEED YOU DESPERATELY,
MEET ME AT THE SAME PLACE
BY THE LAKE AT 10 O'CLOCK
TOMORROW NIGHT. I LOVE
YOU. MARCELLA."
Marcella hadn't sent that tele-
gram to Tommy and she knew
that Hans had sent it. She knew
also, as she had from the very
beginning, that it was no hit-and-
run accident on that isolated lake
road.
She had told Peter very clearly
just what she thought had hap
pened:
Hans sent that telegram to
Tommy, Peter, knowing that
Tommy would not fail to come,
even if he were in training. And
as you see, this is confirmation
OF telegram. There must have
been two.

Finding that William D. Munson of Middlebury did not regularly en- ploy five men, and therefore did not come within the scope of the con- pensation act, Judge Ernest A.
