innocently, after he had his supper,

Strange coincidence that he hap

Miss Ogilvie.
Peters innocent eyes looked up at
her. HE was always there when you

could she know who he was? Her con-

She went out to her own room,
which adjoined the living room.
There was no sound in the living
room. So he had refused, she thought,
to come up Then she heard the
door open, with slight creak.
She heard two pairs of feet enter,
the door creak shut. She heard Mrs.
Webster say, will you sit DOWN."
And a mans voice: mo, thanks"
Sound of his feet, pacing the living
room. "Will you have something?"

The swarm of people dwindled to
a cluster. The young man in shiny

and tried to stink away. Miss Ogilvie

have to face all this later, no doubt,
but now she was glad to get away.
Going up in the elevator, it occurred
to her there was really nothing to

minutes of a Wednesday afternoon
to make telephone call. A five-dollar

She heard the man mutter, ITS

There were a few steps, much
lighter than the mans heavier steps.
Then another pause. After it the
mans voice was husky, shaken:

voice was shaky too - don't we
talk it over tomorrow, Peter?"
"It won't help" the man said,

that wasn't necessary. After all, Peter

was just using the occasion to get
drunk. Miss Ogilvie had heard of lots
