Laura waited impatiently
during the next few days. And
then, at last. she went 10 the
mail box one morning and
found the letter with New
York postmark addressed to
Bertram. She smiled with sat-
isfaction. Luke had acted
promptly. 1t might be better.
she decided, to see II he had
followed her instructions cor
rectly. And with that thought
in mind, she tore open the en-
velope.

opportunity for a place on a
commercial program. The sug-
gestion that Bertram come to

were undergoing a rapid change.

thing had been a trick. she
