LOVE

"NO, HE isn't sure OF what
know" my father said, "but he
will guess that by book meant
document and his guilty con-
science will do the rest. He will
wildly wonder how much know.
and first OF all he will get hold
OF Redfeld and compare notes.
That will keep Redfield occupied,
30 ne won't have time or oppor-
tunity 10 annoy Mary again
tonight" y
"And tomorrow Steve will be
called TO rehearsal with Mary's
understudy, after Mary's feigned
accident Is staged" I said, land
his worries about his role will he
over. Then there will bo no
reason for his trying to SEQ
Mary"
THAT IL all TO the good" my
father said, land IL really Is
the reason why I staged this
scene for Miner. III Steve made
any moro trouble for Mary 1
wouldn't be able To keep Philip
Neritzen In line. He would In
sist on firing Redfield at once.
and then one Of the pipe lines 1
am tapping would be rendered
useless"
Then he went 10 my bedroom.
turning there for another word Of
Explanation.
BAIT FOR MILNER
ell 20 into the other suite
now" he said. land get hold OF
| Adams. Miner thinks Adams IL
his own man, you know, so j
shall give him such an account
Of my actions as I want him TO
pass on to Miner. I am plan
ming II so that Miner will con-
ciude that I do not suspect him
personally. but have line on
I the man to whom he will de-
liver the document-if he has
not already.
THAT will end the suspense
hanging over him and Steve, and
will send Miner scurrying 10 get
In contact with the man next In
line to receive the document.
SO I think my efficient trailers
may have something valuable 70
report TO me a little later.
-
fore you 70 over TO the Veritzen
suite, and j advise you TO get
some rest before the party. You
two can take turns lying down."
AS he went into my bedroom,
Katherine and I smiled at each
other.
REST FOR MADGE
"He doesn't know that couch
can be pulled out To make two"
said. what do you say:
Shall we lie down awhile and
try 20 20 20 Sleep"
81 don't believe I'll have 10 try
very hard" Katherine said.
Journeys always make me
sleepy"
I'm not particularly wakeful
either" said.
Then I took the pillows off the
couch aid piled them on chair.
and Katharine helped me trans
form il into two touches. Then at
sudden thought / knocked on
the door 10 my bedroom. and when
Mr. Halloran came 10 the door ]
spoke quickly.
"Will you knock loudly on this
door about ten minutes after
eleven?" / asked. "Mrs. Beckett
and I are going IN lie down and
get n little sleep"
That's good" he said, with a
friendly smile. T'Il remember
the time"
With a thank you I closed the
door. Already Katherine had
brought my negligee and slippers
from the closet and was unpack-
ing her suitcase. and in another
two minutes We were lying on the
couches.
DANGER FOR MARY:
"Madgew Katherine said a
minute later in a drowsy voice,
do you realize how very hand
some and attractive Georges
is"
II haven't even thought about
IT," l said demurely. II didn't
think, Dickey-"
With lightning quickness she
reached over and seized my nose
between her thumb and forefnger.
"Shall tweak IL hard, or will
you stop your nonsense and an
swer my question ?"
I nodded, laughing, and she re-
leased me.
Eyes, Of course" I said. Hes
what Mary calls Gods gift 10
women"
"Just So" she commented. "Do
you think there's danger of
Mary's making n personal APP
plication Of that .adage?"
