Perhaps Mr.. Gilbert might be
able to shed some light on Barry's
sudden and mysterious departure,
Kay thought. so she walked into
the living room.
You are Mr.. Stanley Gilbert,

Yes, Miss" Gilbert got hasti-
ly to his feet. Kay saw that he
was quite tall, certainly more than
six feet. and his broad shoulders
seemed too big for his coat. al
though il was perfectly tailored.
His face and hands were sunburn-
ed to almost mahogany shade,
and his steel blue eyes were rather
startling as they looked down at
her from this dark background.
His hair. neatly trimmed, was
brown and had a suspicion Of
wave. although he apparently had
brushed it strenuously to overcome
this tendency. He had a strong,
rugged face. and like Barry look

of his life in the open. Kay thought
