PITFALLS
LOVE
BY ADELE GARRISON

Nl - AlE4h - eyes WHITNEY,
at my indirect question. and l saw
that the success of his ruse to traI
Miner had put him in high gooc
humor.
eff you could catch a glimpse
Of Redfield, as Adams described
him TO me, you would he very
siire he would stage no scene at
your party" my father said.
adams said Miner went ber-
serk after he had listened In on
my nversati on, his first
thought being that Mary was
acting the role of a Mata Hari
and had induced Steve to reveal
everything to her-Steve's ewn
connection with the affair, also
Miners.
"Milner took Adams with him
and went directly to Steve's
Feem.- There he found Winters,
who told him about the scene
Steve had been staging. Then
Miner flayed Steve inch by
inch, Adams said. accusing him
Of telling Mary about the docu-
ment.
STEVE UNDER ORDERS
"Milner didn't tell Steve that
he himself had taken the docu-
meut while Steve was still I'M
conscious from N0el's blow, and
Steve Is still muddling over IL.
Miner told him that from now
on, until they find out how much
already know, Steve is not to
make a move except by Miners
permission, and must report to
Miner regularly. For the rest
of tonight Winters In to mount
guard over Steve, 10 you see I
speak only the truth when tell
you he will not disturb your
party"
"And II Miner flies to Wash
ington," began hesitantly, and
my father finished:
THE blem OF getting
Georges to the VeritZen party
and back undetected IL much
simplified. While he's there
will see that all his small be-
longings are put into the ar
mored car which later will take
him to the hideaway. Are you
ready to 20 now:"
REASON FOR HASTE
Then seeing the dismay on my
face, he said alphabetically:
"Of course not. Pray forgive
me. remember now that
Georges and Halloran were to be
finished with your bedroom by
half after IL. 30 you could dress
in there in time to get 10 the
party at midnight"
He looked at his watch and his
eyebrows narrowed.
II have kept you unconscion-
ably" he said. "but know how
quickly you can dress"
81 will act as her maid"
Katharine said. shell be ready
on time"
"f you can make II n little
before time" he said, 81 shall be
grateful. I don't want to give
Miner time to remember his
frustrated curiosity over the
playwright guest expected at the
Neritzen party"
His knock at the bedroom door
brought Hallorsn.
Have you finished with the
room?" he said.
"All through" Halloran said.
"and am / ready to 60 home.
And how this young man IL go
ing to go through a party IL
more than can see.'
MADGE's WORRY REVIVED
"If YOU had been away from
parties a. long as I have"
Georges said with a rueful laugh,
you'd forget there ever was
such thing as fatigue"
Maybe 500 years ago."
Halloran answered, and hur-
riedly left US.
Then we all turned TO Georges
With frankly admiring eyes.
HE certainly has done n won
derful Job" my father said. and
Katharine and / echoed his com.
ment.
But to my disquiet, Georges was
altogether too handsome and
iebonair. for / was again fearing
dary's reaction. in case Georges
showed her open admiration.
A knock at the outer door
startled me out Of my troubled
'onjectures, and as my father
.tarted for the door he said to
Georges:
Into the bedroom until I see
who this Is. IL can't he Miner"
he added.
cit isn't Miner" I said. rush
ing past him. III know the
knock r.-----------------.7
l opened the door the length Of
he chain, and finished in a Joyous
ny.
Its Dicky"
