sor almost never calls himself Pro lessor" Christine knew, having been in college only recently her. self. He had surprised her, and she caught Franklin Larraway's eye appraising the man curiously too. But then, college faculty men sometimes are eccentric. Christine made point of being especially cordial to him, then passed on.
 She forgot the incident until most of the group were sitting down to eat. Then, in her hurried Sur- vey of the crowd just to be sure no guest was being neglected, Christine saw Professor York quietly walking away from the hotel.
 Also she noted that Franklin looking strangely serious of face had edged over toward the door of the hotel lobby and was peer- ing out at Professor York too. Doubtless Franklin would call him, she told herself.
 But Franklin didn't call and in spite of the hustle and the laugh ter and the constant happy hum of voices around her, something made Christine glance out again to check up on eccentric Professor York. Maybe she ought to go bring him in, the old dear, she thought, kind- ly. Roselee and Dick were busy with the younger folk in the big dining hall, she noted.
 She saw Professor York unob- trusively head down the street just gazing here and there, then suddenly cross over. Moreover, he was going directly toward the Goldcrest bankl
 That itself needn't have been alarming. And yet - something froze Christine Palmer to atten- ton there. Some nameless inner fear.
 The fear was heightened when she saw Professor York look hur- riedly around, then disappear in- side the bank door. She glanced at Franklin Lararway, caught the ! awed look of recognition now on that young mans countenance. She started to walk through the crowd to join Franklin, but in that moment he left the hotel and him. self ran hurriedly across and down the street to enter the Gold crest bank.
