the likely spots. He was paying no atten-

She waited another quarter of an hour and
then went back to the ship, sick at heart.
For, whatever the explanation, she hated to
face it, Her pulses were throbbing as she
climbed the gangway to the deck of the
DstncGasby Head.
She went straight down and raped on the
door of BFians cabin. There was no reply.
The door was on the hook, and Margaret
pushed it open and went in. A glance
showed her that Brian wasn't there. An
unopened radiogram lay on his desk. Sight
of it aroused her slumbering suspicious.
Her eyes turned slowly in the direction of
the wastebasket beside the desk -. and
there were the fragments, undistubed, of
the message he had received and torn up the
night before.
She loathed domestic spies, snoopers; but
she remembered that it was an accidental
discovery of this kind which had betrayed
the FOOLS paradise of her brief married life.
Surely prevention was better than cure?
There must be some unpleasant reason for
Brian's callous behavior in leaving her to
wait alone in strange hotel He could at
least have phoned. This torn-up message
might give the explanation. Could it be that
he was married already? That someone
had been waiting for him in St. Johns?
She formed sudden resolve. 1t was jus
tifable; sheer self preservation. STOPPING,
she scooped all the fragments out of the
basket, making sure that none was missing,
and put them in her handbag. She went
back to her cabin.
